Her eyes were wide as she stared at him.
His remained slits.
2 minutes and 29 seconds later.
She narrowed her eyes, starting to become doubtful.
His remained slits.
3 minutes and 56 seconds later.
She squinted, her eyes starting to water.
His remained slits.
His cocky grin widened and she had to sit on her twitching fingers to refrain from smacking him.
5 minutes and 59 seconds later.
She blinked.
He smiled.
"I win," he said and he reached happily for the dried persimmons that were sitting on the middle of the desk.
She slapped his hand sharply and he withdrew them, frowning at her, annoyed that she was delaying his sweet treat for his taste buds.
"You cheated," she said simply, pointing an accusing finger at him.
His grin came back on. "Come now, don' be a sore loser, Ran," he said, reaching for the persimmons again. Quickly, she snatched them away before he could reach it and popped them in her mouth. She grinned at him, albeit lopsidedly due to the treats in her mouth, and held up a peace sign and winked at him.
He looked on with an expression of utter shock and betrayal.
She snickered at him through her mouthful. She chewed happily and he watched on in envy.
Before she knew it, he had disappeared from her sight and she sat up straight abruptly, whipping her head around, searching for him. Shrugging, she swallowed and reclined back, swirling around in her chair to come face to face with Gin.
His blue eyes were open.
She flinched back but his hands had already come quickly to hold her face. She stared at him.
He stared back.
She smirked.
He didn't smile.
He leaned in closer, his eyes never leaving hers and her blue eyes widened in panic.
Still maintaining eye contact, he touched his cold lips to hers.
Her eyes slipped shut as she reveled in the moment, enjoying the feeling of his lips on hers. Her arms came around to pull him closer but in a second, he was gone, standing a few feet away from her, his eyes closed, his grin back on.
She almost protested but he opened his stupid mouth.
"I win."
She frowned and crossed her arms irritably, looking away.
"You cheated," she grumbled.
He smiled.
