77. Hyper

Len raises an eyebrow at his rather hyper friend, arms crossed.

"Rin, how much sugar did you eat today?" He asks, frowning at the bouncy girl. "You went all out on those chocolate oranges again, didn't you?"

"W-What? No!" Rin protests.

Len purses his lips, looking up at her with an inquiring gaze. "Then calm down some. The housework isn't timed, you know. Why are you running around so much?"

For the past few minutes, Rin has actively been doing random things, such as dishes, cleaning, etc. Right now, she's on a step ladder trying to sweep the edges of the ceiling for cobwebs, which she almost never does. It's a bit weird, honestly.

"Well, I just feel really energetic, so-" Suddenly she wobbles, her foot slipping off the ladder and throwing her off balance.

"Whoa, Rin!" He reaches out for her as she tumbles back, and they fall to the floor in a clumsy heap.

It's quiet, and he opens his eyes to see what's mashed against his mouth. They widen in shock.

Oops.

Rin's… kissing him.

Oh.

Oh.

She must've fallen and then…

"L-L-" The girl stutters, her eyes staring into his. She removes her mouth from his immediately upon realizing, jumping to her feet. "P-Pretend that never, ever happened!"

"Um-" He starts, but she's already racing away.

Len sits up, touching a hand to his lips and blushing. His gaze follows where she went, and he blinks, a small smile appearing.

Maybe Rin should clean more often.
