Kiri Koshiba's POV

My hand scraped against Naru-Naru's. To my surprise, Naru-Naru interlocked his hands with mine.
"N-Naru-Naru..?" I blushed.
He pulled me towards the forest near my home. We seemed to be walking for a fair amount of time. Eventually, we got to the place Naru-Naru wanted us to go to; wherever we were right now.
"N-Naru-Naru? Wh-Why did you bring us here?" I asked. My voice lost its calm and collective tone; now it's more shaky and nervous.
"I-I've never heard you speak so.. Scared-like in such a long time, Ki-Chan.." he whispered.
'Did he just call me.. Ki-Chan?'
When I least expected it, he pulled me into an embrace.
"I remember.. You got scared when the power went out.. And when that cockroach was near you.. You were so.. Cute.." he smiled into my hair.
'Did he just call me... Cute?' I wondered, 'is this some kind of trick?'
I stared at him, blushing deeply.
'What is he thinking?'

Shogo Narumi's POV

I closed my eyes and breathed in her sweet scent.
As I did such actions and called her pet-names, I revised what Kanako and Taro told me.

Shogo's Flashback

"Hey, Kanako, Taro, come here for a sec," I called out to them. I played with my sleeve and blushed.
"What do you need, Narumi-Senpai?" asked the boy.
"A-Are you okay? Y-You're face i-is slightly r-red.." stuttered Kanako.
Ever since Kiri left for L.A, she slowly returned to her shy self. Especially since she's been hanging around Kenii-Kun for a while.
"About Kiri.." I started.
"So you did make love with her!" Taro exclaimed, jumping to stupid conclusions.
"NO! I TOLD YOU WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" I scolded.
"Sorry!" they both cried out in unison.
I sighed. I just want to get this over and done with.
"So anyway.. How do you know if she likes someone?" I embarrassingly asked. My face felt warmer.
They looked at each other with surprised faces.
"We don't really know, honestly.." Taro confessed.
"She's never really been in love with anyone. Not as far as we know, anyway," continues Kanako.
"I see.." I mumbled, "well Kanako! You're a girl! What do girls like?"
"Wh-What?! W-Well.."
She thought for a while. Taro interrupted.
"Well, if I was hitting on a girl, I would try to make her laugh!"
"And call her by her name!" Kanako smiled, "it makes us girls feel like jelly when our crushes say our name in a soft and warm way!"
She gave a quick glance at Kenii-Kun. He returned a smile and a small wave.
"What? You mean Puffy Head? She never reacts to that.." I sighed stupidly.
"No! Her real name!" Kanako laughed. Taro joined her.
"Ah. I see.. What else?"
"Hold her, make her feel warm!" smiled Kanako.
I could tell by how she lightly blushed and how she smiled that she, herself, was in love. Maybe with Kenii-Kun. I dunno, I hardly get love. I've been avoiding women ever since I was young. So I'm quite hopeless when it comes to relationships and love.
"Oh! And kiss her cheek! It'll be really obvious in the way she reacts if she likes you too!" Taro grinned.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN TOO?!" I panicked.
"Don't be stupid. You were asking us about how to act around Kiri!" they both sighed.
"Oh, yeah.." I awkwardly said, "thanks, by the way,"
"No problem!" the girl giggled, "just be nice to my best friend!"
"Yeah! And don't try any tricks on her! You're already under suspicion of your actions last night!"
I sighed. I honestly had enough of this 'suspicion' shit.
"For god sake! How many times do I have to tell you?! We. Didn't. Do. ANYTHING!" I yelled.
"T-Take a joke!" Taro quickly said before he ran off to hide. Kanako was nearly going to faint.
"Sorry.." I apologized.
"It's okay. Just be nice to Kiri, promise?"
"Promise."

I opened my eyes and held her close. She was looking up at me. I caught her eye and held my face closer to hers.
"You're eyes.. Are.. So beautiful.. Kiri.." I breathlessly commented.
She was blushing like hell now. So cute!
"I'm so glad I don't break out in hives when I'm around you.. I love being with you.."
She was speechless. What signals is she giving me? I'm so confused!
I rid my mind of those thoughts and just did what my instincts told me to do. She was beautiful; it was so hard to resist myself from kissing her right then and there.
I pulled her closer. Closer. Closer. Until.. Our lips touched.
Hers were sweet and soft. She felt stiff for a while. Before I pulled away, she started to kiss me back.
We both parted for air. I hugged her framed and she wrapped her arms around my neck.
"You're so sweet... Sho-Kun.." she whispered.
'Did she just call me.. Sho-Kun..?' I blushed.
I felt dizzy. I let go of her. The ground seemed to be getting closer to me. Everything went black.

Kiri Koshiba's POV

"Naru-Naru!" I panicked. He fainted. Fainted! All I did was follow Kei's instructions! I sat on my knees and rest his head on them. I closed my eyes and remembered my conversation with Naru-Naru's best friend.

Kiri's Flashback

"Hey Kei," I plainly said, "do you have a minute?"
"Sure! What'cha need Ki-Chan?" he smiled.
"What does Naru-Naru like?" I asked embarrassingly.
"Ki-Chan is asking about Na-Kun? Does that mean that she likes him too?!" he gleamed.
"Are you going to answer?" I blushed.
"Well, Naru-Naru is a very hard person to read! He's always angry!" Kei sighed rubbing his head, "he's never looked for a relationship! He's allergic to women!"
"Oh.." I sighed disappointingly.
"But he's not allergic to Ki-Chan!"
"He isn't?"
"Nope! He always wears the hat you gave him! And if you two really did have 'fun' last night-"
"We didn't."
"Oh.. Okay.."
"Carry on.."
"Oh yeah! He seems to really like you! Possibly even love!" He exclaimed.
Kei seemed to do this weird eyebrow dance at me.
"What should I do?"
"Make him impatient. Make him wonder!" Kei grinned.
"What?"
"If he tells you sweet things, just act all weak and girly. Blush even! Make sure he knows that you're listening, but at the same time, shocked!"
"Won't that just annoy him?"
"I guess. But don't do it too much! Respond to some things! Just not all of them! Create a little mystery!"
Again with the eyebrow dance.
"Oh! And call him Sho-Kun! It's really make him blush!" Kei sneakily chuckled.
"Okay. Thanks, Kei. Here." I thanked as I handed him a cupcake.
"Yay!" he cheered.

My thoughts were distracted by Naru-Naru's voice. He mumbled quietly, I couldn't quite here what he was saying.
"What?" I asked.
"I said.." he started. He then sat up and held me close to him, "I like it better when you call me Sho-Kun, my little Ki-Chan.."
I blushed hard. I cuddled up to his chest. He was just so warm!
He started to his my cheek over and over again, as if he was devouring it. I couldn't help but giggle slightly.
"Sh-Sho-Kun!"
"Heheh.."
He trailed kisses down to my neck. He started sucking it and licking it.
A little moan escaped my lips.
He started trailing kissing up to my lips again. He pressed his against mine; we kissed passionately and softly.
"Sho-Kun.."
"Yes, my Kiri?"
"How are we gonna explain to Billy as to why there's a love bite on my neck?" I asked.
We both blushed and he chuckled.
"We'll think of something. Right now, let's just be happy," he coo'd as he held me closer.
We snuggled up under a tree. Cold winds blew around us, but we didn't care. We were warm with each other. We were warm with our love.
