-Ha… Ha… That… Ha… Was… - Japan panted, trying to form a phrase, but the air refused to come in a decent amount for him make even a full word.
-Unexpected? – She completed it for him, taking a lock of her [h/c] hair away from her forehead.
-…Yes. – He agreed, breathlessly.
-Well, I was waiting for you to take action for quite some time now.
Kiku looked at her, speechless. She grinned at him, pecking on his cheeks.
-I was waiting for you to finally have the guts to do something. – She explained. – Or you really thought that I didn’t notice all your blushes, awkward pauses and longing stares? – [f/n] poked him playfully. –I’m not blind, nor dumb, you know.
He stuttered an indignant mumble and she chuckled.
-Oh, c’mon. Besides, if I ever tried to tell you that I liked you, or worse, did something, you would have fled, probably, or get a nose bleeding. – She stopped, considering for a moment. –Or both.
Kiku chocked, flushing in bright scarlet. She raised one eyebrow.
-Am I wrong?
He stood quiet, and [c/n] giggled.
-But I do have to say you were quite cute today. – She commented, almost sounding casual, though it did have a bit of an amused tone in it too.
Japan glanced away, his blush deepening, but a small smile making way in his embarrassed expression.
[f/n] smirked, running a single finger up his chest.
-So… Round 2?
His eyes didn’t meet hers, but he nodded.
-H-hai. – He muttered.
It was all she needed to hear.
