#souda asks

Y-Yeah, that's right! 

C-Cool? Me? 

《COUGHS VERY LOUDLY INTO THE CROOK OF HIS ARM》

U-Uh... 

2: Cheek Kiss

Kazuichi had never seen a live show before. So, when he heard that there would be one at Hope's Peak, he felt the need to attend. Maybe it would bring him some form of life lesson, he didn't know!  

The name of the show was one he found he'd soon forget, but the show was one he'd think of often afterwards. He recognized Grazia when she had played her part. The young thespian did wonderfully, making Kazuichi laugh at parts and even shed a tear or two (although that would remain a secret. 

He was probably clapping the loudest when the production ended, and wormed his way through the crowd of people standing around afterwards, on a goal to find her, and tell her how wonderfully she had done. 

When he did find her, he congratulated her, and gave her cheek a quick kiss. They both grinned, and sooner than later, she was called off by some other adoring fan, and Kazuichi was left with fond memories and a light heart. 

5: Firm Kiss

The prospect of having a girlfriend was still overwhelming to Kazuichi, even if it had only been a few weeks. It made him ecstatic and bewildered and everything that that implies. So, one day he'd gone to see her after school. The walk from his school wasn't too far from Hope's Peak, and he wanted to see her anyhow. 

So, when he'd seen the girl exit the school upon the final bell, he waved, and luckily she saw him. She said something to the people she was walking with and ran over. Kazuichi set his own bag on the ground and hugged her close when she came over. They grinned in a brief moment of silence before they began asking how each other's days went, chastising each other when they said how either one had mentioned how bad they were at something, 

Eventually they fell quiet again in a lapse of affection, neither making any move to go anywhere any time soon. Tomoko let her head rest on her shoulder for a while before Souda got an idea. Was it a brash one? Hell yes. Would that stop him? Hell no. 

He stooped over a bit to catch her lips with his. It had probably taken every bit of nerve he could muster, and that was saying a lot. It seemed as if he knew what he was doing, and it didn't seem like he had done it wrong. When he pulled away, both faces were flushed a dark red, and Souda laughed a bit,  fixed his glasses, and offered to walk her home. 

6: Gentle Peck

Kazuichi had been surprised when Mayumi offered to help him study. Well, he should have seen it coming, she was a Class Rep after all. But still, the aspect of anyone wanting to help him with anything at all was surprising to him. 

So, they had met in the local library. Sue to his being early, Kazuichi shrugged out of his Gakuran's overcoat and rolled up the sleeves of the white button down he wore under it. It's best to be comfortable when studying, right? He pulled out his books, and when Mayumi arrived, he grinned and waved the Class rep over. 

They sat there and worked for around an hour, going over everything from classical literature to logic and algorithms. They hadn't noticed how fast time had flew by, and eventually, an announcement was made that the library would be closing soon. 

They laughed about it, and Kazuichi snapped his books shut, tucking them back into his bag, and he slung his jacket over his shoulder. 

"T-Thanks fer helpin' me out, Mayumi-san." 

He said, walking with her out. Mayumi laughed a bit in resopnse. 

"It's no problem! Every student should have the chance to be the best they can be!" 

This made Kazuichi smile, and he placed a small, hesitant peck on her cheek. Both their faces grew pink, and kazuichi resumed the shy way he held himself. It hadn't been much, but still, the aspect of it made him a bit nervous. 

S-She's a wha'? 

Shit... did th' greyfaced get 'er? Wiat, tha's stupid. 'F course they did. 

Mouth: Do you want to kiss anyone right now?

Y-Yeah, I kinda do—

Heart: Are you in love? If so, does the one you love know?

I g-guess ya could say I am!
