heartbreak on your face
IX; It's Only Natural – The Higher
–
It's a collision – that's how Izuru would say is the best way to describe it.
She was upset, and he was comforting her. The reason why doesn't really matter, even if she was only slightly upset. Because at the end of the day, he was the one who could make her smile again. A gift, he thinks, that he takes pride in, although he'd never admit it out loud.
He kisses her forehead, between her brows, his favourite spot, the gap that creases when her eyebrows furrow. It's cute.
That was the catalyst.
And maybe it's because he didn't pull away fast enough, and she couldn't stop gazing at him with doe eyes.
"Izuru…" There's something different in how she says it. Only slightly different, but he catches that nuance all the same.
Momo looks up and Izuru looks down and it must be gravity or something that pulls them together…
… and he kisses her nose.
"Um."
"Let's try that again?" On the brink of giggling, because she knows what he's up to, half-smiling, a dimple dancing on her cheek, the girl takes the initiative. Tugging on t-shirt, she stands on her tiptoes and murmurs teasingly. "Shall we?"
Huh.
First kisses.
… they're kind of nice.
–
They laugh about it afterwards.
About how awkward and endearing it was – whilst they hold hands and cannot seem to stop.
–
It feels right.
So they leave it at that.
