ARCHIVED HEARTS - The Kiss

He already knew...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4rI8wDdW9

I was about to embarrass myself.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5GMLi6YwA

Without saying a word...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB1jOLeWqS

Rei gently carried me in his arms once again.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQRSvVoIJX

Ignoring all my protests.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcnoIUrKCy

He took me back to our room.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssCjmoay8p

I looked up at him and giggled.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO9WOk1yCZ

"You know what?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVarxq8Qvs

He glanced down at me.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu72oiSPA07

"What is it, My Lady?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DK0zTSLc8

I smiled lazily.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI4glULc13

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyObjQZYPIX

He let out a soft laugh.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpuPIYyuyk

"For me..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiGeo1GBGP

"You weigh nothing, My Lady."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngTl7zJRnH

I smiled.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtMHVdp9pV

"...Yeah."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSOiwfiTm2

"That's exactly the problem."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnhZOYTHZi

He tilted his head.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPmKRmUN2l

"...Problem?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7Wa3UiROa

"I don't know..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg6uV69YZO

"Whenever you're around..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeJ79oAZC2

"I keep blushing."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0Ipekq6mX

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoekj9w7FR

"I get worried."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgYmSpv8DM

"When you smile..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7BTBxc8Qx

"It makes me smile too."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShhCVByjwX

I looked into his bright blue eyes.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS3VKVlMA3

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpuFORLwLf

"...Maybe I'm broken."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsiMkw3xgL

Rei stopped walking.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNKqN2WwlL

He looked at me quietly.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo38uEto1T

"My Lady..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSmBVngIDl

"You are not broken."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rb85VVOkF

"I have analyzed you many times."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf8Upz0VrY

"Everything appears normal."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LHiAzRNrN

I couldn't help but laugh.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCxY82Xzab

"...You're hopeless."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur3MbBeM9x

For a moment...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk2rmpYXl7

Neither of us spoke.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGsLB4AjA8

I slowly moved closer.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdAOfjCZ5Q

Only a few inches separated our faces.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgQYp01OIG

Rei remained perfectly still.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EOntSh1uR

"My Lady...?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjpkDwhKMW

Without thinking any further...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g7gJk4lOS

I gently kissed him on the lips.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPSiBZ6Fwn

It lasted only a brief second.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QbHedPJGl

When I pulled away...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoz8cuvcWg

A sleepy smile appeared on my face.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vr1NoEdnJ

"...Goodnight, Rei."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjXDfVnVaC

Before he could respond...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gbVby7bhB

The caffeine finally took over.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWpATdYu9h

My eyes closed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQSjerkWuD

And I passed out in his arms.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1ldcqlcr9

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4RYSjbSjH

He carried me to the bed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTu1qhODkr

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBK9AHpttS

He tucked the blanket around me.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tzKOMdFSW

Brushed a loose strand of hair away from my face.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaSEOSstlN

Then quietly stepped back.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyMuQgsFW8

"My Lady..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi51Uun4Wb

"I hope you have pleasant dreams."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGV8FAVd8t

Just then...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPgo4ewOFV

A warning appeared before his eyes.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREfnUOmGWw

Warning...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPZnRmI9ii

New emotion detected.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a1XwjasDS

Emotion unidentified.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuosTVAM3B

He frowned.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhXYQ5mBtw

"My system..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxNhPGd6BP

"...is behaving abnormally."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzr1gcN0aB

Without realizing it...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQb9OlHDVL

He slowly touched his own lips.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCRvz1v3lQ

The place where she had kissed him.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECVrOBH1Ce

"...Why..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsbioG4bAb

"...does this feel important?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHjWhXbs4C

Curious...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgwOwXQeF4

He walked to the computer.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxyQSeIGnv

The screen lit up.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sa4LbkVdg

He typed a single word.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQhZA1D4Pb

Kiss?

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo7BLZ3YGl

Thousands of results appeared.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0VyJgkLBP

He began reading.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H2PfW5B8D

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMMhwsJtbU

Rei stared at the screen.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHqsd1BSxG

"...Affection."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo0dNh7nyl

"...Love."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uOYR3ssNJ

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2EvMhRg1b

His processor began calculating.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXu8AH9WTB

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNwuG9f8EN

Then a new line appeared.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5cnNcwwOE

Possible conclusion:

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNut1cO7UDf

You may be experiencing... love.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A26hkBBfk

Rei remained silent.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF534Rr72aU

"...Love?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlaLDPU8p9

He looked back at Aina.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMcw7a6Iij

Then gently smiled.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5AHZ5PXEq

A real smile.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuKTqeXEJb

Small...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k6qoctKaf

Warm...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwEAG17JbG

And completely unprogrammed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgHXWzqPmD

"...I think..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kw6AchlUJ

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