Yugo's D-Wheel screeched to an halt in front of the group of people. He and Yuzu took off their helmets, the latter looking surprised. «Yuya!»
The boy looked up at her surprised. He stood frozen for a few seconds, before tears started to fall from his eyes, a large smile appearing on his face. «YUZU!»
He run towards her and glomped her, crying of happiness. The girl blushed, it was the second time in bit of time that someone hugged her so tightly. But this timer, he was her childhood friend, so she lighted up and hugged him.
«I thought that Academia had captured you... or turned into a card... or... or...» he cried into her shoulder, with her barely understanding his rambles. He felt her stomach doing a flip-flop as she realized just what kind of despair he went through in the last days. She placed her hand on his head and caressed him, trying to calm him down.
«Don't worry. I'm here. Academia never got me.» Yuya sniffled and looked up in her eyes. «Ever since... I knew what was going on... I couldn't help thinking and worrying about you...» he whispered, his smile widened. «...and that... made me realize...»
He leaned slowly towards her, making her feel slightly uncomfortable. Last time things where like this, Masumi embarrassed them. He didn't seemed to want to part from her just now though. «...I love you.» He dipped down and placed his lips on hers, trembling slightly, but despite her shock, she could feel he was being sincere about his feelings.
The light touch lasted for seconds, until Yuya pressed a bit more and the kiss became more passionate. Yuzu widened her eyes and blushed, but she felt her body becoming warm. She slowly relaxed, closed her eyes, and tried to return the gesture with the same passion.
After a half-minute, they parted, breathing quietly. They stared at each other, redness painted on their cheeks. «You know... sometimes I kinda wondered what it would have been like...» she murmured, gently placing her palm on his warm cheek. «...but I though you were too naive to understand... I never imagined you would have done that first...»
He ran his hand on her arms, giving her thrills. «I like to surprise my audience...» he told her. «And I want you to be my audience forever. I don't want to ever leave you again.» That said, he pecked her on the forehead, and pulled her closed to his chest, closing his eyes.
