Kazuma jerked away from Kimishima's touch, his blushing face the picture of horror and thinly veiled disgust.

"Kimishima! What the hell? I-I'm not like that." Kazuma stepped back, put a hand up between them and continued to back up.

"Yeah…okay." Kazuma shrugged uncomfortably. He began to walk to the jeep, with fast, deliberate strides.

Kimishima trailed behind slowly and noticed that the air between them had irreversibly changed.
