Sora rubbed her eyes some more, trying to clear up her vision.
"Ken kissed me," she quietly stated.
Leon slowly blinked.
"On the lips," she added, unnecessarily pointing to said area.
His grey eyes looked down to her lips, the pink curves having a strange effect on him. He knew they were soft, having felt her kiss him on the cheek a couple of times. His own lips had tingled when he kissed her cheek.
The thought of having such a soft thing touching his own sent goosebumps up his spine.
He couldn't even comprehend how that would feel like.
"Did you want him to?" he murmured, recalling her previous statement about Ken.
She gave a tiny shake of her head. "No." Her bottom lip quivered and her eyes watered all over again. "But he did!" she wailed, her hands coming up to cover her face. "He took my first kiss!"
Leon kneeled beside her, his hands hovering over her form. Should he pat her on the back or the head? Will a hug be welcomed or was now not the right time for one?
He never did know how to respond to crying.
"Don't cry," he quietly said, hoping it sounded reassuring.
When she heard that he was close, she leaned into him, her covered face resting on his chest. He felt his heart rate speed up at the contact, but slowly placed a hand along her shoulder.
He guessed that a hug would be welcomed, given the fact that she leaned into him first. His arm went around her shoulders and brought her against him. Her hands went away from her face as the tears slowed once again, comforted by the fact that he was still here after what she told him, and lightly gripped his shirt.
"Does this mean we can still date?" she tentatively asked once she calmed.
"Why couldn't we?"
She shrugged. "I thought you'd get upset with me." Her head ducked under his chin as her face flamed a little. "After all, I wanted my first kiss with you."
Leon stared unseeingly at the wall. What?
"You...wanted it with me?" he slowly asked in disbelief.
He'd never kissed anyone before or even entertained the idea of it. If anything, he got the impression that most of the girls here would kill for Ken to kiss them. While not a performer, Ken had important skills that Leon lacked:
Dating skills.
He was certain that some knowledge of kissing would be preferred.
Sora nodded her head to his question, making his own head move up and down. "Yes," she shyly said. "I like you a lot, Leon."
"I don't know a thing about kissing," he solemnly informed her, thinking that it would be best to not get her hopes up for something spectacular. Her reveal made him warm and fuzzy inside, but he didn't want to get his own hopes up if she hadn't realized his lack of knowledge. "I don't even know the dating rules, except for the ones you've taught me."
Despite her earlier tears, she tittered against his chest. "Kissing's not about how much experience you have, silly!" She lifted her head from under his chin and looked at him, puffy eyed and all. "It's about who you share one with."
He considered her words, thinking about how a lot of things he's felt were because of her rather than the situation. "I suppose so," he said with a slow nod. "Then, are you saying you wish to kiss?"
Her entire face turned red. "Not right now! I'm still in my pajamas for crying out loud!"
He nodded at that. It was a very valid point.
