SING YOUR HEART OUT

Valentines day kisses! | Accepting

6 - Kiss on the lips.

    Smoke was on the horizon as they stood there, alone in the Future Foundation tower. The mutual killings seemed like nothing more than a memory now. A horrifying, vivid memory. He wanted to smile for her, he always wanted to smile for her, but right now, alone with her, he felt so vulnerable ((he wanted to be open, he wanted her to see him, not the super highschool level hope he needed to be)).

    Her hand found his as their fingers looped together, they didn’t even look at each other but they both knew. Out there…in the world crumbling in the midst of despair, their loved ones could be alive, the people they care about in danger…it really was hard to be genuinely happy, looking out at the world with that knowledge.

    He cast his glance to the wall biting his lower lip, he didn’t want to look. He didn’t want her to look, and out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a calendar…February 14th. Valentines day. It almost made him chuckle how silly such a thing sounded in this scenario, but at the very least…

    He turned back to her, steeling himself. It’s not like they had much else to loose at this point.

    “...Ne…Maizono-san” he muttered, barely less than a whisper, as his hand cupped her cheek, pulling her face towards his as he moved in slowly, flinching back for a moment as he felt her breath against his lips, before finding the confidence he had been forced to acquire, resting his forehead against her own and planting his lips against hers.

    He held it for a few seconds, indulging himself in a desire he’d long since tried to hammer down in favor of more pressing matters, he knew though, that for the longest time he had wanted this, if only for a moment.

    He pulled back, barely an inch, not moving his forehead, keeping his hand on her cheek and his fingers entwined with her own. Smiling, just a little.

    He didn’t really know what he had been thinking if he was to be honest. One day he had just been up early enough to see the sunset from the Hopes Peak fountain. A few days later he thought that hey, maybe he could turn this into a chance to just…have a relaxing moment with Maizono. He didn’t doubt that everybody in the class, and probably the seniors…and reserve course…and teachers. Everybody, he didn’t doubt that everybody knew he was attracted to the girl, but he was being totally honest when he said he didn’t really intend to do anything ‘romantic’ with this moment, he wanted to share something he thought was beautiful with…well, his friend.

    And then Kyouko had made it abundantly clear that not only was this something couples would do, it was outright a generic romance trope from almost every romance novel to exist ever. Then he thought back to romance anime and realized that, yes, this was very much a ‘couple thing’, and frankly, he was suddenly terrified.

    And now, as he sat there by her side, watching the sun go down, all he saw was her, the slowly disappearing suns light shining so bright in her eyes. He was captivated by her, he’d always been captivated by her. Never once had they shared a pacing glance before Hopes Peak. And yet here he was now, all alone, basking in her presence, together with her.

    His eyes darted down to her hand. It looked…soft, porcelain, his heart fluttered at the sight, perhaps…this was already something couples would do right? he was already dubbed ‘the affectionate friend’ right? surely, if he just held her hand it would be okay? his own hand had slowly started moving to hers, so close, he could almost feel the body heat radiating off of her before–

    Nope. No. Couldn’t do it. She was so far out of his league she had circled the circumference of the globe and walked past him again, he couldn’t just hold somebody as stunning as her’s hand for no reason, that would be a grave sin-

    Warmth, his hand suddenly felt so warm, comfortable, like it had been fit into place somewhere it was always meant to be. A respite of confusion overcame him, wasn’t the sun going down right now? 

    A few seconds, and as he looked to his hand his features drowned redder than the sky above them, her own fingers intertwining with his own. All at once time stopped before him. This moment, this one beautiful moment, he could savior it forever. She wasn’t even looking at him, she was still smiling starry eyed at the sunset.

    His face cooled down when he saw her, dropping into a docile smile. Yes…he would not deny that he wanted something more with the idol, to be something more to her. As of now though…he was happy with simply this.

    ‘It’s beautiful’ she had said to him.

    He looked at the sunset before him, and then back to her, almost as though he were comparing them. As he gave the sunset one final look, he shrugged.
