At moments like this, Ren wished that he didn't have a gentlemanly reputation to uphold. It's moment like this with his heart beating in his ears, matching the pounding rhythem as he paces Kyoko. It wouldn't be very nice of him to finish before Kyoko. She has been so kind and so cheerful before this moment. Ren couldn't afford to destroy all the little steps he has carefully taken with Kyoko to get to this point, being alongside Kyoko like this with both of their heart pounding to the demand of their bodies. No, this won't do. Ren has to hold himself back to keep from finishing before his Kyoko.
Ren stretches his legs out to keep his body upright. Not that Ren is out of shape, it's just that Kyoko is in so much better shape for these sorts of things. Always with boundless energies. Always throwing her whole body into everything she does, even now. Even though, she no longer has to worry about her mother's approval, sometimes, old habits dies hard and it's still "there is no failure, there is only one hundred percent." It's a wonder that Kyoko hasn't been snatched up already. Ren felt a small heart pang. No, no, not that right now. He can't afford to lose his concentration when it's his heart is on the line.
Ren feels like his body is on fire and his burning only for Kyoko. Without her, there is no other reason to live for. So, he kept up with her rhythem, and he could almost feel his heart beats matching with her. Ren could see the joy that Kyoko is feeling as her body tensed with anticipation for the ending finale between them. Ren couldn't wait either. So, he tried his hardest to tamped down his body's need to go faster.
The way she looks with that rosing cheeks flushed with exertion, and her breathe panting to an unheard erotic beat. Her hair glows like an angel's halo framing her face. Why is he thinking like this about her at a time like this. Ren watched Kyoko closely as she reaches for the finish line. Small beadlets of sweats has started to form around her eye brows and her temple as the rhythem of her breathing become faster as she increases her pace. Kyoko's body vibrating with the exhilaration of impending ending.
Ren instinctually started to increase his pace to match Kyoko. He started breathing hard and drop of sweat falls along his jawline as he tries to catch up with Kyoko. Ren knows that even though right now it's just him and Kyoko. But, if he isn't careful, he'll be beaten by Sho and Kijima. Kyoko is mine. Ren increased his pace as he let go of his inhabition and just let his instinct kicks in as he follows Kyoko to the finishing line, scantily behind her in merely seconds.
Kyoko flashed a shy smile up at her most esteemed sempai, Ren. As both of them, took a moment to calm their breathing and allowed their body to cool down. Later, Kyoko and Ren went up to the podium to accept the gold metals for being the winners of the first ever Akatoki/LME competition picnic 500 meter dash.
