"Did something good happen?"

Kou looked up and was met with the curious gaze of his classmate. "No, nothing special, why are you asking so?"

"Hm, if I may say it, you, uh, sparkle more than usual. The girls are going nuts about you having a girlfriend, and the guys equally fanatic about that. For opposite reasons, of course. Though who knows..."

Kou chewed on those words a little, not entirely sure if he should take offense about the "sparkle" bit. He was not Tinkerbell, although having pixie dust that could make people fly would be awesome. He had to laugh though. It was not like he already had anything. If so little made him sparkling then he would probably be used as a beacon when he actually got it.

"Uhm, actually I kissed someone I like"

"Hey, then you have something after all. Who is your victim, you playboy?" It was a jest, of course. Notorious flirt as he was, Kou was just as infamous for being frustratingly impartially chivalrous.

"Hm, but there is nothing certain yet. I don't know if that person likes me. I feel so but I'm not sure."

"Jeez, you're such a tease."

"What does it mean when I kiss someone without permission but that person did not hit me or anything?"

"Oh Lord, you are a playboy after all. Do you still need to ask? Are you playing dumb or really dumb?"

"I see. Then please tell everyone to wear sunglasses tomorrow. Just in case, you know." Kou beamed.
