ARCHIVED HEARTS - The Kiss

He already knew...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdoUhDwPtZ

I was about to embarrass myself.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHcKfH0v3i

Without saying a word...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQhP4Kp73v

Rei gently carried me in his arms once again.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrptWD7yqB9

Ignoring all my protests.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbkMftT5Xs

He took me back to our room.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8nUiQEJYa

I looked up at him and giggled.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yrml51ll1

"You know what?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbCI1DGQyI

He glanced down at me.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvu57NqO8r

"What is it, My Lady?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIj2IwFjaa

I smiled lazily.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgPHiU3cSv

"You've been carrying a potato this whole time."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUw6dJrlOz

He let out a soft laugh.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZMmZEZWDc

"For me..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtIAq6pwO1

"You weigh nothing, My Lady."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Elt0rfSE4

I smiled.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKcYMiVWHI

"...Yeah."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo552mqZsor

"That's exactly the problem."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuF8eaUkZy

He tilted his head.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H4D2xPhB2

"...Problem?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUNeweLMZ3

"I don't know..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYIvrpZOqk

"Whenever you're around..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kO89USAJF

"I keep blushing."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHUBOmjtrC

"When I can't find you..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam57Xol3Nc

"I get worried."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyncVk8lCj

"When you smile..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9jLSkYZ31

"It makes me smile too."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4pZmgMxhB

I looked into his bright blue eyes.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJbXG2WH61

"I don't know why this keeps happening to me..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoxAD8BPm0

"...Maybe I'm broken."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmTfcEGTPB

Rei stopped walking.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsHNntZX3r

He looked at me quietly.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qpODgbRgl

"My Lady..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EXyhRBTmb

"You are not broken."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqLtLTuNZv

"I have analyzed you many times."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgWXNoA0vY

"Everything appears normal."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eMLU3OL68

I couldn't help but laugh.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xxVOgoZWC

"...You're hopeless."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TcUmLDYwH

For a moment...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp2HU2nX7x

Neither of us spoke.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjgV22BfNG

I slowly moved closer.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrX0bybxJJ

Only a few inches separated our faces.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xlW1A8lLm

Rei remained perfectly still.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjpMW6ManK

"My Lady...?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvjinbtmvO

Without thinking any further...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn6X9K3BNt

I gently kissed him on the lips.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yRWDImGpf

It lasted only a brief second.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9mDKKweAw

When I pulled away...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NDaStQ5YA

A sleepy smile appeared on my face.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7QUl3XAot

"...Goodnight, Rei."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPMeBSHvHz

Before he could respond...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXShJjoSqA

The caffeine finally took over.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcRkxoePHs

My eyes closed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dCM9s5DV7

And I passed out in his arms.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHNaFoS0Be

Rei carefully adjusted his grip so I wouldn't fall.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tEchWrrV3

He carried me to the bed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFfQlmbMR4

As gently as if I were the most fragile thing in the world.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6PjmyxbzN

He tucked the blanket around me.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCmAufCh97

Brushed a loose strand of hair away from my face.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngfVC4N1Pt

Then quietly stepped back.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8LVkbfunL

"My Lady..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibfODuTlZh

"I hope you have pleasant dreams."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBxli6hwLu

Just then...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1gYM6ZFHr

A warning appeared before his eyes.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquAoNn3RXi

Warning...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuzi1rRBaW

New emotion detected.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCht2996Bp

Emotion unidentified.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwCEfEQPFC

He frowned.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxooDl6faS

"My system..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2RoR9CVh9

"...is behaving abnormally."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDTX6HAwX7

Without realizing it...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lCxAsYNPv

He slowly touched his own lips.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLavFpcZPdU

The place where she had kissed him.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pIcxhB1YR

"...Why..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxQDFyxmcC

"...does this feel important?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCCx47oSuH

Curious...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtXUjwVGmR

He walked to the computer.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi3xIbq0bn

The screen lit up.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OvLjr7FB4

He typed a single word.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnFgBynev7

Kiss?

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ICdxgmdFg

Thousands of results appeared.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPfiseXgjw

He began reading.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNzhR7ZS9X

A kiss is a gesture that can express affection, trust, emotional closeness, or romantic love.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KBuIiPOwT

Rei stared at the screen.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9tTTL5PLB

"...Affection."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5G81GrxGR

"...Love."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlTJoPluvG

He quietly turned his head and looked at Aina, peacefully sleeping.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr78of80mch

His processor began calculating.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvEDnUkaJb

The screen paused.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEr4a4L2ri

Then a new line appeared.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOmdrY3Tlg

Possible conclusion:

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4K46SZvxN

You may be experiencing... love.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZtAK1mTwn

Rei remained silent.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZImLG9fBWy

"...Love?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTjZxudtPc

He looked back at Aina.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a2Urf9OPp

Then gently smiled.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXRVHwVOsT

A real smile.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBcOtY0y1M

Small...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrpAcV8WIS

Warm...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBLz6WD8D8

And completely unprogrammed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6XBygHCho

"...I think..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqp2o62nbf

"...I would like to learn more."
