ms-lumina said: Sneaking up on Kiriha Nene placed her left hand on his shoulder, making a movement that made him turn his face around to face hers. "At least try to stay calm," she said bluntly with an amused frown and put her right index finger to her lips kissing them, and then put that finger on Kiriha's lips. "Like I'd ever kiss you for real..." she added and then turned around, walking away.

He hadn’t expected the sudden touch that settled itself on his shoulder. Startled, he veered around, only to meet face to face with the frowning amethyst-eyed girl. A quizzical look surfaced on his features as he looked at her.

“Wait, what are you tal—…” He hadn’t registered her quick movements, having her finger pressed against his lips.

Blue eyes stared wide open with surprise at her index finger, then slowly trailed back to Nene’s face as she withdrew her hand. The stunned expression he wore slowly morphed into another… more flustered look as her last statement reached his ears.

Before he could try to regain his composure, however, he caught sight of Nene turning to leave.

Indignation slowly growing and gnawing at him, he hissed under his breath and quickly stepped up to her, grabbing her by the arm. He can’t just let this go; this was just a low blow to his own pride. How could she do that to him? Why would she do that to him? That wasn’t like her at all!

“Hold it, Nene,” he firmly stated as he gave her arm a tug, motioning for her to face back towards him. “Don’t just walk out on me. That isn’t like you. I thought you were a lady of dignity and esteem. Why? Tell me why you did that just now.”

He might’ve been overreacting. Heck, it wasn’t even a direct kiss — could it even be called a kiss? There wasn’t any real reason to get so frustrated at this. But on the other hand, there was no way he could dignify her actions without a good reason behind it, either. It left him bewildered, agitated, thrown off… and muddled.
