I kissed her. I kissed her. I kissed her.

Those words ran around my head in circles. Hajiki had found me on the train staring at the door that had cut our kiss short. I was numb with shock and joy. Shock because I didn't know I had it in me and Joy because I kissed her. 

Her lips were soft...

I sat down on the train's benches and rocked with the motion. Hajiki sat beside me and was talking but I couldn't understand a word. 

Her face...

A sharp pinch shocked me out of my stupor.

"JUGGY BOY?" Hajiki waved a hand, "Hello? Anyone there? Did that kiss fry your brain?"

"I-I'm here," I answered and looked down at him. 

"So you did it..." Hajiki grinned, "Im glad you took my advice."

"I-it wasn't that! I-I thought about what you said..."

My mind went back to earlier today. Hajiki had grabbed me like he always does and held me. He made a fuss about me being clueless and difficult to work with. His next session of complaining had stuck with me.

"She likes you, ya know, but you're running around crushing on Tamaki who doesn't even notice you while (F/N) is crushing herself trying to play good girl. Why do you think she came all the way to the second to thank you? Not because she's nice. What's worse is you have your gaze stuck on Tamaki and arent noticing the cute and good girl who likes you." He took a breath in before squeezing my neck, "Choose during this date. Either you let her know you like her or you let her know you don't like her because she deserves to have her feeling reciprocated. If you really don't like her let her move on knowing you don't instead of wondering every day."

Hajiki was leaning back with his hands behind his head, "So what made you make up your mind?"

"It was when we were in the store," I pulled out the gift she gave me and showed it to Hajiki, "She remembered that I like potatoes. Her face when she was showing me this made my heart flutter. Her (Color) eyes sparkled and her face glowed. I realized although I spent a lot of time with Tamaki during the time I was at the first I don't think she would have remembered my favorite food like (F/N) did."

I leaned forward and cupped my head in my hands, "I was such a jerk. I had Shinra trying to get Tamaki's number right in front of her. I should have realized that day when I was in her store..."

"Dont fret," Hajiki laughed, "She gave Karim her number so it sounds like you're even."

I remembered her looking at me while giving him her number. I had felt a pang of jealousy at the time but thought it was because of Karim. 

"So how was the kiss?"

I jerked back and looked at Hajiki, "I-I... It ... I..."

"From your face, I say it was good," He laughed and slapped my shoulder, "You did well..."

It was wonderful... but I couldn't tell him that.

After I got home everyone in the eight was acting weirder than normal. I had showered from my day and was back into my orange jumpsuit. I ate dinner with the others. Hinawa kept his gaze on me. Obi was grumbling and growling. Shinra held his weird smile every time I looked at him. Maki would blush and hide her face. Sister Iris wouldn't make eye contact.
