ARCHIVED HEARTS - The Kiss

He already knew...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewADiqmgDa

I was about to embarrass myself.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjFGI2ARFD

Without saying a word...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjkEK5aZv8

Rei gently carried me in his arms once again.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs44XufZgUS

Ignoring all my protests.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aHTzCgTKq

He took me back to our room.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeQKV5xDTe

I looked up at him and giggled.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMtxHmXuXI

"You know what?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZxGZvZayn

He glanced down at me.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP68Qn3Z5EL

"What is it, My Lady?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDO3qnz9mj

I smiled lazily.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCgoWAASuQ

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgYjGTV6tR

He let out a soft laugh.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVVzGFzI3V

"For me..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjbmv6gXnG

"You weigh nothing, My Lady."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrAXUSCHw4

I smiled.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGTxTGOcEN

"...Yeah."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnEWegnMRC

"That's exactly the problem."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPpj6oFZq7

He tilted his head.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK08fGHHFum

"...Problem?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbtXKH9BgV

"I don't know..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwmI7YjjoU

"Whenever you're around..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrsmxm8DL7

"I keep blushing."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeI6erH87g

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSunuZRbeDo

"I get worried."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGt9Tazv8W

"When you smile..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9kJUwPyVV

"It makes me smile too."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDFqGM4PoX

I looked into his bright blue eyes.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kdalNSmwS

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV25wqpR5eY

"...Maybe I'm broken."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcbcjpnJCD

Rei stopped walking.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q7oeozWud

He looked at me quietly.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxvD4wpFoa

"My Lady..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YJhtGnTyT

"You are not broken."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7tL1JaW3K

"I have analyzed you many times."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqGJR55I2W

"Everything appears normal."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzGvA8SQVj

I couldn't help but laugh.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRhsnuG2oC

"...You're hopeless."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStbpl57JSI

For a moment...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgym5r6mS0

Neither of us spoke.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ7EfGmKqR

I slowly moved closer.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtRlEOKj5A

Only a few inches separated our faces.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTlwcnmJHR

Rei remained perfectly still.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPwCXljym1

"My Lady...?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53CthKDw26

Without thinking any further...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv86vH32Oow

I gently kissed him on the lips.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr5L9Py0RB

It lasted only a brief second.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4Wuqhd4lJ

When I pulled away...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FohpoNGbu

A sleepy smile appeared on my face.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoE2loBoOv

"...Goodnight, Rei."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8iJwsUwWe

Before he could respond...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE0kwcKPKm

The caffeine finally took over.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxlBAd5s2S

My eyes closed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay5mXlL4NC

And I passed out in his arms.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJLxOwsA89

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb5WG8DbBA

He carried me to the bed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm9aE92lSJ

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj63QlFsZvS

He tucked the blanket around me.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrWhqAxMuP

Brushed a loose strand of hair away from my face.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzcgH3Wbnj

Then quietly stepped back.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJtYFGyNGS

"My Lady..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGpYZL2oX8

"I hope you have pleasant dreams."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUJuUd3s2g

Just then...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjB6JViukR

A warning appeared before his eyes.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4xbA4JGM9

Warning...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF34gySiOOs

New emotion detected.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkAhOkuqv9

Emotion unidentified.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY8xdxSUif

He frowned.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTr9qFIQra

"My system..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtIyRL66G9

"...is behaving abnormally."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaB4wBqt4R

Without realizing it...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN7T7ztnhF

He slowly touched his own lips.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWgPOEcO8W

The place where she had kissed him.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoeTCfuR0c

"...Why..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHcxH83HXQ

"...does this feel important?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsu1J79Du3

Curious...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FsRiZNyU9

He walked to the computer.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY621kq67OA

The screen lit up.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzNhTAPbnc

He typed a single word.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyFmCwv4mk

Kiss?

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCFq2mgNHi

Thousands of results appeared.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rY5TEYQ1r

He began reading.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJgGFZkNdH

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sBNJ4fUXP

Rei stared at the screen.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFt0ckeahL

"...Affection."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL6LK3iDLf

"...Love."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE6dyM6cAL

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

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB7nni6Ll8

His processor began calculating.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjyTlcxIdL

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkoffyGx2O

The screen paused.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ5ibX1gih

Then a new line appeared.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuR3PPAxTW

Possible conclusion:

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCsZMh4AMq

You may be experiencing... love.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wiiSQ0QSz

Rei remained silent.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHtZH6iRKL

"...Love?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByuGWlhTJc

He looked back at Aina.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqP1FujCVC

Then gently smiled.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruOLZ3KMwp

A real smile.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvplJuEhli

Small...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHFqhbjL8s

Warm...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQjEKcEHjM

And completely unprogrammed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCkfReZqAA

"...I think..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3rVqVQA8j

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