"Um, I…"

I couldn't speak. I was too shocked to react to anything, but I had to say something. I couldn't let him get away. First he apologizes and then confesses that he is in love with me. Half of me wanted to throw myself at him in a hug and tell him how much I love him, too, but the other half wanted to punch him in the face for waiting so long to tell me. But I was in partial disbelief. How could Black*Star fall for someone like me? All I do is correct him all the time.

"You do…?"

Black*Star looked slightly relieved as I said this so innocently though his body was still tense, tears brimming his eyes, threatening for another assault. He smirked nervously, "O-of course. How could I not? You have beauty only a goddess should possess. You care about me, and you believe in me. You make me laugh, and you fill me with a kind of joy I never knew until I met you, just by gracing me with your smile. You never judge me or insult me, and no matter how stupid my plans and ideals are, you support me all the way. You're the only one who understands me, Tsubaki."

I watched as Black*Star swallowed nervously and looked at me with those hope-filled, dark green eyes. I was overwhelmed with joy and brought my hands up, covering my mouth as my eyes filled with fresh tears and I shook my head back and forth. This just could not be happening. It was much too good to be true. Without thinking I flung myself at him in a flying hug, and pulled away just enough to catch a glimpse of his wide eyes before latching my lips onto his in a warm, loving kiss.

"I love you, too, Black*Star," I spoke sincerely after pulling away at last, "You have absolutely no idea how long I have been wanting to hear you say that."

He smiled at me, a genuine smile, instead of his normally exaggerated one, "Let's not move too fast. I want to show you I really have changed and decided to grow up. I want to take you out, Tsubaki. Anywhere you wanna go. We can even go back to the club….as long as I'm the one who gets to dance with you."

I smiled at him. This was perfect. I just can't believe it… "Yes. I would love to go out with you, Black*Star." I blushed as I leaned in to kiss him again.

B*SPOV

My stomach was in a whirl, and my head was spinning. Tsubaki said yes! I couldn't think of anything else as she kissed me. All I feel is her lips against mine, moving against mine. Death, that lip-gloss. Breathless, I pulled away, unsure if I could take anymore. My face flushed as I realized how easily she just did that to me, "Wow…"

Tsubaki nodded in agreement, her face blooming with a dusted pink color, "Wow."

I felt my cheeks grow warmer as I thought about it, "How did you…?"

Tsubaki smirked at me as she cocked her head to one side and stepped closer to me, and I backed up to be met with the bed. To remain standing would mean to have Tsubaki super close to me, but to fall back onto the bed would compromise everything, so I stood my ground with a slightly flushed face. Fine, maybe it was more than slightly flushed.

"How did I what?" Tsubaki asked me innocently as she came closer and brushed her hips against mine in a not-so-innocent way.

"U-um, how d-did you know how to," I stuttered. I could smell her so close to me and it was hard to think straight. How was she affecting me so easily? We haven't even been on a single date yet! "How do you know how to kiss like that?"

Tsubaki blushed and spoke shyly, "I don't really know. Maybe I could teach you?"

I hardly had time to think as her lips were on mine for the third time. I felt my face heat up as she moved even closer than she was before, her hips flush against mine. I looked down at how our bodies were touching. Every slight move she made, I could feel. And, let me tell ya, it is working wonders on my male counterparts right now.

Wait, hold on a minute. I'm the god! I'm supposed to be in charge! With one flourish, I had Tsubaki pinned on the bed underneath me. My face was still slightly red, but I ignored it as the adrenaline coursed through my body.

"You have got to stop that. I can't think straight when you kiss me like that. I know I'm completely awesome and irresistible, but we haven't even been on our first date yet, and if you keep doing such provocative things like that, my hormones may just take over. I'm a man, Tsubaki, and hormones are crazy especially when you're a virgin. I don't want to be that guy who says 'I love you' and then screws you before I've gotten to know you. I mean, of course I know you but –."

My eyes widened in surprise when she kissed me again. This time, though, it wasn't a heated kiss filled with passion. This was a sweet but chaste peck on the lips. Tsubaki giggled, "I understand Black*Star."

I moved off of her, smirking numbly. I felt a bit light-headed. I watched as she got up and stretched. She turned to me and laughed aloud at me expression, "You seem a bit dazed, love," she kissed my cheek as she pulled me up to stand and her gaze softened. "I didn't mean to come on too strong, Star. It was a test, per se. To see if you actually meant what you said, even though I know that you love me. Thank you for caring so much for me. I had no idea you were such a sensitive gentleman though."

She winked as she walked towards the kitchen to prepare dinner. My face pinkened as I called after her, "I am not sensitive! And I'll show you a gentleman!"

I slouched back onto the bed, deciding not to follow her. I liked it too much when Tsubaki was cooking, and I don't think I can take the sexual tension right now…
