It all started with a kiss. Nagisa and Tomoya got all of the members from Theater Club to do a skit from whatever play and perform it at the next meeting. To not have any deliberation, the members were divided into groups of two. Tomoya was with Kyou and Nagisa was with Ryou. It was a short meeting because a group was permitted to leave as soon as they finished their skit. Not one person left. Everyone got so into it that a few people, presumably hearing the noise coming from the room, came from the outside and formed a little audience. Sunohara and Kotomi were the last two to perform. Their act started off as a little slow, but it picked up towards the middle. The ending was how the beginning of this commenced. Tomoya had to narrate the last line of their skit because it required for a narrator.

"Don and Maria overcame all of the obstacles. Their love grew stronger at the end."

"They kissed so their life will forever have bliss."

"Oh yeah, we are supposed to kiss Kotomi." Sunohara was slightly nervous.

"Go and kiss you two, I have stuff to do in a little bit." Tomoya was growing impatient.

"Lets do this Kotomi."

"Okay." They both shut their eyes and start to kiss. It's a quick kiss on the lips because the two quickly pull back. Everyone was clapping because they performed their skit the best. Sunohara and Kotomi were not taking any bows; they kept staring at each other. Sparks flew between the two. Slowly but surely, they closed their eyes and kissed each other again. This second kiss was longer and more passionate. No one was expecting them to kiss again, so you can understand the shock factor registered on their faces.

Sunohara woke up earlier than usual. He couldn't sleep much at all because he would keep waking up from the same dream he was having. Every time he kissed Kotomi for the second time, he would wake up in a cold sweat. Waking up all of those times lit up a light bulb in his head. He was going to talk to Kotomi after Theater Club. He knew as he was getting ready for school that he was going to get peculiar glances as well as a few pats on the back.

It was impossible for Sunohara to concentrate in school because of the events from the previous day. He knew Kotomi sort of well from what he has been told as well as the Club. She was a very smart girl who needed major work on her social skills. He was able to eat his Wonton chips; however, he kept spitting out his apple juice. Perhaps he was overanalyzing the significance of the second kiss but conventional wisdom said that he needed to talk to Kotomi as soon as possible regarding the kiss and also if there was any possibility of a them. Luckily for Sunohara, he saw Kotomi walking by herself so he obviously called her over.

"Hey Kotomi, how are you doing?"

"I'm doing good, thank you."

"Did you have a good lunch?"

"It was good, thank you for asking." Sunohara was sweating a little bit.

"I was hoping we could talk about what happened yesterday…"

"What is there to talk about?"

"Well, we kissed on the lips. Twice."

"Was it not part of our skit?"

"Yes… the first kiss was."

"I see."

"Yeah, um, why did we kiss a second time?"

"You tell me."

"Oh well, um, we were in the moment. After that first kiss, we looked into each other's eyes lovingly. It was as though our hearts yearned for us to kiss again."

"That was a great analysis Sunohara…-kun."

"What?" He started to blush, as did Kotomi.

"We should go to the Theater Club room for the meeting. We are going to be late."

"Yeah, being late would not be good." Everyone arrived early and all of the members had their eyes on Sunohara and Kotomi. Sunohara sat far away from Kotomi because it would have been awkward if the two of them sat next to each other. They did, however, exchange glances from time to time. As everyone was leaving, Sunohara pulled Kotomi to the side.

"Kotomi, I couldn't stop thinking about you during the entire time we were in there."

"Okay."

"Do you want to go out with me this evening? I mean, we can go grab a coffee or do whatever you like…"

"Sure why not?"

"Thank you so much! Forgive me for over thinking about what happened yesterday… it's just that I think that there could perhaps be something brewing between us."

"Its okay, I forgive you."

"I'll be by your house later to pick you up then… Kotomi-chan."

In the back of his mind, Sunohara wondered what he was doing. The date wasn't going the way he was envisioning it. He was not worried though because he was just happy to be on a date. To Sunohara, it was important to have Kotomi talk a lot even if her sentences were not long. He talked some too and also made her laugh some. He walked her home after they finished their coffee.

"Thanks again for going out with me Kotomi."

"I had a great time Sunohara, but I should be getting to bed now."

"We should go out again one of these days."

"Yes, I'd like that."

"Well, good night Kotomi."

"Good night Sunohara." They were going to kiss again, but they stopped themselves halfway and just shook hands. Sunohara sprinted home.

Time passes and Sunohara and Kotomi are frequently seen together. Although they do not hold hands, they walk very close to each other. Everyone at school was buzzing about them being a couple. Kyou brought it up at a Theater Club meeting.

"Sunohara, you and Kotomi have been all over each other for months. Are you two going out?"

"Yes we are." Kotomi shyly nodded in agreement. Sunohara spoke up again.

"We are not going out EVERY weekend; more like every other weekend."

"Okay, but are you guys like, I don't know, boyfriend and girlfriend?" Sunohara and Kotomi both looked at each other and blushed.

"Yes. Kotomi-chan and I are boyfriend and girlfriend." Sunohara looked at Kotomi once again, but this time she looked away.

We find Sunohara and Tomoya chilling at the Furukawa Bakery. It was a slow day over there.

"I'm proud of you Sunohara. You managed to sweep Kotomi off her feet."

"Hehe, not exactly."

"What do you mean?"

"We are seeing each other as often as we can. Things are good and all; but, she is becoming a little distant."

"The skit you and her did in Theater Club still bothering you?"

"How can it not man? After that first kiss, we looked into each other's eyes and kissed again."

"Maybe it was the heat of the moment?"

"Eh yes and no. I personally think we kissed again because… it felt right to."

"You really care about her huh?"

"Yeah I do. I'm getting the impression that she doesn't feel the same way about me." Tomoya smiled and closed his eyes.

"I heard Kotomi is going to play her violin at an outdoor recital at school tomorrow."

"Oh that's cool. I heard that she is getting better at it."

"HELLO SUNOHARA! That is your chance to show your true feelings towards Kotomi."

"But how though?"

"You're a smart person, you'll figure it out." There was silence for a few minutes.

"I GOT IT! Thanks Okazaki!" Sunohara raced home to get a pen and paper.
