Kanade snuggles further into Mafuyu’s shoulder. Her face is red, but she can’t find it in herself to care.
Mafuyu, on the other hand, feels his entire neck go scarlet at Kanade’s soft sigh. (And Kanade’s never been one to complain about his weird blushing habits…)
”Mafuyu…”
Mafuyu hummed. “Yes?”
”I love you.”
They never really say it to each other. Not because they don’t mean it, but because that’s just how they are. They don’t need to say it all the time. They’re perfectly content with it being a semi-rare thing.
Mafuyu smiled, but only slightly. And it was barley noticeable at that. But that was the best you’d get with Mafuyu. And Kanade always took it as a win.
”I love you, too.”
Kanade giggled a little, and Mafuyu’s heart just about exploded. He didn’t know it. But it did.
He gently ran his fingers through Kanade’s hair, and she curled further into his hold. Like a cat in the sun.
Adorable.
”Mafuyu?”
”Yes, Kanade?”
Kanade glanced up at him, a nervous expression on her face. “Uhm…”
Mafuyu tilted his head, confused. What had—
Chu.
Something soft and warm was pressed against his lips. And it took him second to realize that it was Kanade’s lips.
Almost instantly, she pulls back, and Mafuyu resists the urge to pull her back in.
The shorter girl fiddled with her thumbs, clearly nervous. “I—“
Mafuyu cut her off.
This time, the two of them don’t pull apart until Kanade remembers that they need air.
Yeah. Kind of important.
When they do part though? Both of them are bright red.
(And they’re certain all of their friends would be laughing at them for it)
”That…” Mafuyu muttered. Where did he start with how that felt? Comfortable? Fuzzy? Warm? “Can we do that more?”
Kanade paused before nodding. “Anytime you want, if that makes you happy…”
“Would it make you happy?”
A pause, and then a nod.
”Yes…”
It felt awkward to admit for Kanade, but she still said it. And Mafuyu hummed.
”Okay, then.”
And then continue to cuddle.
And Mafuyu feels warm.
Kanade does, too.
