Ken's confidence ebbed when he saw that it was not Sora that was behind him.
May's electric blue eyes were a little wide upon hearing his declaration.
Embarrassed that he had said that to the wrong girl, he mumbled an inaudible apology and then quickly fast walked to catch up with Rosetta. I can't believe I said that to May! The Chinese acrobat was blunt and quick to tease.
He was never going to live this down, he just knew it.

Following the lights going out, Sora eeped and then Leon heard a thud.
She must have tripped on something. Though he didn't think there was anything in the hallway for her to stumble over.
"Are you well?"
"Yeah, um. Just-" she paused in her speaking as the slushing of water from the goldfish's bag sounded. "I probably freaked out Charlie-san."
"He'll live," came Leon's response.
There was a pause in the darkness. Then...
"Could you help me up?"
Leon nodded his head out of habit even though she could not see it. She heard his light steps as he came near her.
"Speak so that I may find you."
"Oh, right." She stayed in place, figuring that it would be easier than trying to blindly stand up only to fall down again. "Soooo...Did you see that moon last night?"
He carefully stepped closer. "Yes."
"It seemed pretty big huh?"
He shrugged. The moon was the moon. "I suppose it did." He seemed to be near. "Stick out your arm."
She did as he said. "I like nature watching. Moons, stars, animals, the ocean..."
As she spoke, he frowned as he touched something squishy. For a moment, he thought it was the water bag of the goldfish, but as she let out a squeak in the middle of her listing and he registered the fact that the plushness felt warm rather than cool as water was oft to feel like, he realized with a startling clarity that he was not touching the goldfish.
His brain shut down at the overload the clarity gave him.
Instead of going quiet, Sora's brain malfunctioned and made her overly chatty. "I, um, er, ah, erm, demo, nani..."
She switched to Japanese without meaning to.
Her brain was not sure what to do given that she had not been in such a situation before, especially with someone who wasn't a pervert. With perverts, it was easy to just slap them and then the situation was over with. But what did protocol say for non-perverts? As far as she knew, Leon was not one so the fondling was an accident.
Is, her mind corrected. He's still got his hand there.
Ah. Well that's something she could fix...
"Demo, ah, um. Leon, could you get your hand off of-"
His hand withdrew like he had put it on a hot burner.
His brain slowly turned on with that action. "I apologize," he murmured, only to realize that he had said it in French. He swallowed hard, his mouth dry for some reason or other and his hand still prickling with the sensation of her warm, plush-
Stop. He got his mind back under control.
"I, that is," he shook his head under the guise of the darkness as he suddenly found it hard to speak. He regained most of his control. "That was not my intention," he finally said.
"I, er, didn't think so."
There was a very long pause.
"How about I reach out to you?" Sora finally suggested.
"Please."
He would like to avoid that disaster again...Though, his hand seemed to think otherwise, what with it still tingling-Desist. His mind quieted for a little.
Her fingers grazed his bare forearm, shooting so many electric pulses throughout his body. His mind underwent a second meltdown upon her touch.
There was something extremely wrong with him.

AN: Yes. I did.
Or should I say Leon did? XP
