"Hahi! Haru has a brilliant idea!" She suddenly blurted out of nowhere.

"What now?"

"A game. A 'no blinking' game!"

My eyebrows immediately furrowed themselves together as I stared at her in disagreement.

"Oh c'mon! It's not that bad." She puffed her cheeks and looked at me in that ridiculously adorable way.

I scoffed. Still.. It wasn't that much of a form of excitement for me to be convinced of.

"No."

I grumbled, feeling my stomach growling in ultimate hunger. She on the other hand, smiled widely. An idea might've struck her, for all I know.

"Loser gets to treat the winner some sushi. Come on, I know you want to~" Her high pitched voice slightly annoyed me as she spoke in a sing sang voice.

My stomached growled once again. God, did it have to rumble at this time?

She looked at me again. "Please?"

Fine. I might as well beat her in a useless game.

"Whatever." I huffed, looking away.

"Yay! Let's start, shall we?"

She challenged. I nodded and she inched closer to me.
"Times starts now.."

One.. Two.. Three.. Four..

We both stared at each other. Not a single pair of eyes left ones' sight. She had this smile on her face, showing off that famous confident look of hers. How annoying, really.

Five.. Six.. Seven..

I unconsciously looked deeply into her chocolate brown eyes. They were so huge and round, it's like I was looking through a doll's eyes. Well that was odd. I never thought I'd realize how beautiful they were.

Eight.. Nine.. Ten.. Eleven..

Her pupils stared back at mine as those long eyelashes tried not to shut themselves. She might lose, her eyelids were trying to close; but come to think of it, it's kinda cute.

Twelve.. Thirteen.. Fourteen..

Her nose scrunched itself like a rabbit. I couldn't help but to think how she resembled one, and she just turned out looking adorable.

Fifteen.. Sixteen.. Seventeen.. Eighteen..

I saw her eyes crinkling up as she furrowed her brows slightly. She's obviously trying her best to stay focused. It felt like she wanted to look intimidating, for me, I guess? Heh. It'll take a whole lot of effort to distract me. Though it's funny how she still ended up looking weird; in a good way, perhaps.

Nineteen.. Twenty.. Twenty-One..

She yawned. But still, her shining brown eyes remained shot open. I liked how her eyes, mouth and nostrils widened in unison. Now that's amusing.. And cute.

Twenty-Two.. Twenty-Three.. Twenty-Four..

She whined a bit, getting slightly impatient as her eyes reverted its gaze to the ceiling. Her thin pinkish lips pursed themselves, and I could've sworn that her puffed cheeks and pouty lips could be compared to a little puppy's.

Twenty-Five.. Twenty-Six.. Twenty-Seven..

Her eyes once again met mine. Though this time, she appeared to be peculiarly, breath taking?

Twenty-Eight.. Twenty-Nine.. Thirty..

I can see her getting closer and closer, and something loud banged underneath my chest. What the hell is that?

Thirty-One.. Thirty-Two..

Her dazzling eyes, that cute pointy nose, chubby cheeks, and that pouting mouth of hers.. Beautiful.

Thirty-Three.. Thirty-Four..

My hand slowly reached for her cheek as I brushed the loose fringe that almost covered her upper face and readjusted the blue hairpin above her left ear. She tilted her head, her brows furrowed.

Thirty-Five.. Thirty-Six..

I leaned closer and caressed her cheek. Our faces few inches apart, one, half an inch, a quarter. Then, I felt her soft, sweet pair of lips pressing against mine; our eyes still locked onto each other. Within her chocolate brown orbs glinted confusion, swirled with a pang of calmness, and was that enthusiasm in there?

Thirty-Seven.. Thirty-Eight..

I felt her lips moving slowly, slyly, as it responded against mine, and I could've sworn it made my heart skip a beat or two.

Thirty-Nine.. Forty.. Forty-One..

She pulled away and looked up to me wide-eyed. "H-Hahi.." She slowly brushed her lips with her fingers and stared at me blankly.

Damn, did I just kiss her?

My face heated instantly. I looked away from her and stood up from my seat. "A-Ah. I forgot, I have to go.. Somewhere.."

"G-Gokudera-san! Wait!" I felt her small hands tightly gripping upon my wrist.

I turned my head with creased brows and blinked. "What?" I tried very hard to bring the annoyance in my tone.

Forty-two..

"Nobody said that the game's over." She grinned sheepishly, pulled me in a flash and placed one last kiss on my lips. "Loser."

"..."

"How about that sushi? Haru's hungry!"
