Just the way you are
"No greeting kiss for your boyfriend this time, Jo-chan?"
Haru swiveled her head towards the sound of the familiar voice, turning a faint pink at his words. Despite that, her gaze lit up with pleasure as it landed on him.
"S-S-Senpai! Hahi, what is Senpai doing here, desu?!"
It was almost funny how quickly he could make her lose her hard earned composure these days. He also seemed to derive great amusement out of teasing her, much to her consternation and chagrin. A roguish, playful Dino was not something that the CEDEF member was quite equipped to handle.
The golden haired Cavallone Decimo stood before the young woman and smiled at her. She looked mesmerized then horrified and blushed even harder, which in turn caused her even more internal mortification. The CEDEF headquarters was not exactly some casual meeting place and belatedly Haru could feel quite a few pair of eyes watching them curiously.
"I was around this side of the country and so I decided to drop by to surprise you," he replied with an extra charming smile, and in the background, Haru thought that she could hear one of the admin personnel sigh dreamily.
Her eye twitched, and she quickly snagged the much taller male by the arm and rapidly hauled him away to a quieter area for privacy.
"Dino-senpai - I thought we agreed to keep a low profile, desu?"
Arms looped around her shoulders, drawing her close in a loose, affectionate embrace. She flushed furiously but did not push him away, instead tilting her head back so that she could look at him.
"Excuse you. I promised no such thing," he retorted lightly, long, adroit fingers ghosting over her ponytailed hair, playing curiously with the tips before he calmly focused his gaze on hers. "Are you afraid of being associated with me?"
Haru bit her lower lip but shook her head.
"No, desu. But...you are...you, and Haru is just plain, boring Haru..."
She yelped softly when the man suddenly tweaked her nose in punishment.
"Haru is neither plain nor boring," he corrected her with sure firmness. "Haru is brave and loyal. Haru is spontaneous, loving and quirky. Haru is also a little silly right now, and if she keeps at it, Dino is going to want to bully her even more because she is being too adorable."
She was turning red again, and her mouth opened and closed wordlessly. At last, she emitted an unintelligible squeak and hid her burning facade behind her hands. The older blond was unfazed by her reaction - he was more amused than anything, in fact. She really was quite adorable. He huffed softly and nudged her closer. After a moment of hesitation, her hands came up to his shirtfront, and she pressed her hot face into his shoulder.
"So, shall we actually start doing some couple-y stuff and go on a date?" he asked over the crown of her head. "CEDEF activities should be slowing down now that the aftermath from the Milliefiore fiasco has died down."
She lifted her head so fast to look at him that she nearly hit his chin on the way up.
"Date?" She sounded rather bewildered. He looked at her, one brow arching at her surprise.
"Mm. Date. That's what two people who like each other do when they go out, no? Why are you looking at me like I just grew two heads?"
"Eh?" Ehhh?! The panicked look on her face must have been pretty obvious, for he eyed her bemusedly before putting two and two together.
"Don't tell me; you have never been on a date before?"
She sputtered.
"Hahi! Of course Haru has! Haru has taken escort missions for CEDEF before, desu! Haru knows what to do on a date - Haru hasn't received any complaints before regarding her performance so far!"
Dino was trying not to laugh at her defensive reply.
"Alright. I look forward to experiencing your outstanding performance, then," he drawled innocuously while it was beginning to dawn upon her that she had dropped into a pitfall of her own making.
"Dino-nii-" she started in protest, only to be cut off when the golden haired Cavallone leaned down, closed the distance between them, and brushed a kiss over her lips. She froze like a startled rabbit, eyes huge as she stared at him. Suddenly, he was no longer lighthearted and playful, but more intent. Deliberate. He pulled back slightly, his glowing gaze lingering on her mouth, and her breath momentarily caught in her throat, her heart racing in her chest.
She bit her lip, feeling like she had just been branded by his kiss.
His eyes darkened ever so slightly. His voice was low, sinfully silken, when he spoke.
"Each time you call me Dino-nii, I will kiss you, okay?"
It really did not sound like a question at all, not when it was coming from him. Certainly not when he was looking at her like that.
After a brief moment goggling dazedly at him, Haru at last managed to muster her wits around her to complain.
"Hahi? That's not fair, desu-"
Again, she was cut off as he kissed her once more, this time a bit harder, hungrier. She whined softly in her throat, her knees going strangely weak as a warm heat coalesced in the pit of her stomach.
She was tottering unsteadily when he gradually pulled away, her gaze wondering. Then her eyes slowly sharpened, and a small furrow creased her brow. Her hand lifted as if wanting to touch her reddened mouth, as if still confused by what was going on.
"Y-You kissed Haru! Again! And Haru didn't even say 'Dino-nii-'" She eeked and clapped her hands over her mouth, and his brow silently lifted.
"S-S-Senpai," she mumbled against her fingers, and this time, his hand lifted to her neck, long fingers gently tilting her head to the side, and he brushed his mouth against the column of her throat in a gossamer's kiss. She shuddered at the ticklish sensation, her pulse picking up. What a strange feeling this was – she was torn between wanting to run away as fast as she possibly could and wanting to be kissed some more.
"You are going to be kissed again if you keep looking at me like that," he warned, and this time, masculine amusement could be heard filtering through his tone. Her eyes widened – was he a mind reader?
"You're just going to kiss Haru no matter what Haru says," she blurted out, and he smiled impishly at her, not denying her accusation.
"Perhaps. Do you dislike it?"
He was certainly not beating around the bush whatsoever. She coughed and looked away, opting not to answer.
"Haru is being bullied," she muttered instead, and he chuckled. His hand drifted to the side of her face, fingers running along her rosy cheek and hairline. His affection made her heart flutter, yet at the same time, steadied her nerves all the same. She leaned into his touch momentarily before reluctantly pulling away.
"Haru has to go on a mission for the next few days, but Haru will be free this weekend." There was a pause before she continued, almost casually. "Haru wants to go to Mafia Land."
He groaned at the destination she had in mind.
"You just want to see me suffer, don't you, little lady?"
"Haru has been bullied a lot by Dino-nii today," she commented innocuously, her hands now tucked behind her back and looking like butter would not melt on her tongue.
"…I'm starting to think that perhaps you do enjoy being bullied by me."
"…Maybe."
He shook his head and had to restrain a grin at her sass.
"Be safe on your mission, Jo-chan."
"Hahi, I will. Please stay safe too, Senpai. Haru is happy that Senpai came to visit today, desu." She bowed earnestly to him.
"What, no goodbye kiss?"
Her reply was very prim and proper, and it really made him laugh this time.
"No more kisses for Senpai! Haru thinks that Senpai has gotten more than enough kisses today, desu. Senpai will become a kissing monster at this rate!"
