"It's not indecent, zura!"

"Ruby-chan." Hanamaru called out.

"What is it, Maru-chan?"

"What do you think about kissing?"

"Kissing?" Asked the redhead. "As in when two people's lips meet together?" She tilted her head.

"Mhm."

"Romantic... I guess?" Ruby said, pondering why would her friend ask her that kind of question.

"I know right! That feeling when each other's lips connected... zura~" Hanamaru squealed in excitement. They actually were at a bookstore. Ruby went along with her friend whose hobby is reading to the bookstore and at that time. And Hanamaru suggested to read some books before they go back from there.

Ruby was chuckling. Seeing her friend being this cute gave her a funny feeling. Only a moment later, she found her eyes at Hanamaru's book cover which she was reading.

'Things you shouldn't miss out about love in highschool'

So that's the reason.. Ruby thought to herself, feeling embarrassed why her friend could be this.. somehow.. embarrassing..

...Although I'm interested in it too.

"Ruby-chaan?" Hanamaru peered up through Ruby's book which she was using as self-defense to hide her red face. "Are you okay? You weren't listening to me, zura~"

"A-Ah.. yes, sorry, Maru-chan. I was just thinking that it would be nice if I could experience that as well."

"...That? You mean, kissing?" Hanamaru asked.

"Yes..."

Eh..? The redhead who just answered without thinking at that time noticed she just made a mistake, and a big one.

"Zura~" Hanamaru beamed.

"N-NO! I- I didn't think about such an indecent thing! I-I... there's no way!" Ruby who was flustered stuttered. Her face became as red as her hair. She tried to hide her embarrassment by shooking both her hands, refusing to accept that she just said that out loud.

"It's not indecent, zura!" Hanamaru jumped to her.

"Hue?!" Ruby stepped back a bit since her friend in front of her was too close. "Maru..chan?"

"Kissing is a wonderful thing!" She exclaimed seriously, still looking at the redhead intensely.

..I think it's also wonderful you could say that with that face, Maru-chan..

"Y-Yeah, I gues... I mean, the thought of wanting to experience it is indecent.. not the act itself." Ruby explained sheepishly. "Right? Ahaha.." She ended it with an awkward laugh. She just couldn't keep her composure, and her face kept getting redder and redder as time goes by.`

This whole conversation is just... weird! Girls on our age shouldn't talk about this kind of thing in a bookstore!

"No it's not."

"Eh?"

"It's not indecent, Ruby-chan. That's normal, you know. It's what we call curiosity." Hanamaru said with a smile. Ruby widened her eyes, finding Hanamaru's words sounded logic.

"I mean, even I..." Before she could react, Ruby found herself being cornered into the shelf book behind her and eyes met with golden orbs. "want to experience it too."

"M-M-Maru... chan..?" Ruby froze. She only could call out the girl's name, although she was screaming inside about how close their faces were. So close that it seemed Hanamaru was about to-

*kiss*

"..."

"...M-M-Maru-chan.. d-d-did y-you ju-just.. k-k-kiss-" Ruby's sentence was cut off by Hanamaru's finger that was on her lips. "It's not indecent, right?" Hanamaru asked while smiling. Ruby in the other hand only nodded, couldn't mutter any words from her closed mouth.

"Now that we've finished choosing the books, let's head to the cashier, Ruby-chan!" Hanamaru said cheerfully. Again, Ruby nodded.

She was like a robot. But with a red face and thoughts running wild about what just happened.

Even though we talked about doing it on the lips.. She thought with a pout forming on her face while touching her forehead.
