ARCHIVED HEARTS - The Kiss

He already knew...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5R9mHCTwB

I was about to embarrass myself.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5txResvddg

Without saying a word...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKKDnkLDMU

Rei gently carried me in his arms once again.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN7nGFvvrD

Ignoring all my protests.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7TuDhaj7J

He took me back to our room.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz5WILCmom

I looked up at him and giggled.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYeUVWmON7

"You know what?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ4W28BcWW

He glanced down at me.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x7094TT8p

"What is it, My Lady?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBS85aKUxc

I smiled lazily.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBDPgDQda4

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArTuQpAKkP

He let out a soft laugh.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wAZGUS0ex

"For me..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VFi8KuHYu

"You weigh nothing, My Lady."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ7UJ7luyD

I smiled.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbhpjyxfnr

"...Yeah."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vcn6U9XXk

"That's exactly the problem."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRtDWXhDeV

He tilted his head.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZx8q4FI1c

"...Problem?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhXUveKr8Q

"I don't know..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMAqt3Xo3r

"Whenever you're around..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NmzYI4DHf

"I keep blushing."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxstb3Hfv8W

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LqAT4SPvb

"I get worried."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHFCqannNa

"When you smile..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25or06jfBa

"It makes me smile too."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO0m8eSr81

I looked into his bright blue eyes.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5bukouizr

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Ea7k2MLq

"...Maybe I'm broken."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2IWePaWHK

Rei stopped walking.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YFZlVv8BC

He looked at me quietly.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6p2XC7I1q

"My Lady..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bXFtmBcQu

"You are not broken."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKdtHegPQk

"I have analyzed you many times."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2GNZNl7Kd

"Everything appears normal."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28vorQ1O3p

I couldn't help but laugh.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhvwXgxbPw

"...You're hopeless."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLudeBhmIA

For a moment...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxS0L4xwmC

Neither of us spoke.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXLt1oNLe8

I slowly moved closer.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSHuQlka9n

Only a few inches separated our faces.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn9g13TcSq

Rei remained perfectly still.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd2ZylC5j9

"My Lady...?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNBFMTfdDA

Without thinking any further...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1edh5Q1LSc

I gently kissed him on the lips.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvidebs6ew

It lasted only a brief second.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBQFz30aZY

When I pulled away...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFaqsQBmdi

A sleepy smile appeared on my face.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFQk1rjDtF

"...Goodnight, Rei."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcEmlFvinm

Before he could respond...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ1rSxVewH

The caffeine finally took over.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonJKjwqVM1

My eyes closed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iGrDRsN2n

And I passed out in his arms.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX8h5h8OBo

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7hBbLMVMJ

He carried me to the bed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ9Hik6OnB

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED0QGrbGC5

He tucked the blanket around me.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAwhfNpIvz

Brushed a loose strand of hair away from my face.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlDP0UCrk4

Then quietly stepped back.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw7US53ONK

"My Lady..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69JRSsNCYb

"I hope you have pleasant dreams."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2XJYvKX99

Just then...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCYS5dBD73

A warning appeared before his eyes.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsadfFhMW8

Warning...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwCpu8mLOv

New emotion detected.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwlBGmnQtj

Emotion unidentified.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhDNRFCSbw

He frowned.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUAugJRWaK

"My system..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncBIfJUVbC

"...is behaving abnormally."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu8P97UtSJ

Without realizing it...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFkIbuOK7f

He slowly touched his own lips.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi7mcfvHkw

The place where she had kissed him.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRYIUpiqek

"...Why..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXWKsjLeFN

"...does this feel important?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6cdrZnP4b

Curious...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6AXCavyft

He walked to the computer.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwr4GpHvdQ

The screen lit up.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFghit8jwp9

He typed a single word.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WZ54GM9bZ

Kiss?

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU55hb2NLC

Thousands of results appeared.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ737U3WchZE

He began reading.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ywASPBcrp

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamRA9VQIFn

Rei stared at the screen.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlkc18qf1y

"...Affection."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQsEWWOcRM

"...Love."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBlbyx9CVp

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN3o1ceUKp

His processor began calculating.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmCkHeLUIq

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYlaejiUNz

The screen paused.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiHsjWOdSA

Then a new line appeared.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3ydND7BJh

Possible conclusion:

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19mkJyyziq

You may be experiencing... love.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVGZBiCubx

Rei remained silent.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlGgTqFsG5

"...Love?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGavI4bG9p

He looked back at Aina.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTQr2IzpUY

Then gently smiled.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG7EXBQoh5

A real smile.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPrvFE523F

Small...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ3VFwg9Gc

Warm...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM7FEcAJd0

And completely unprogrammed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypEoYxQzlV

"...I think..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg8RCh0liM

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