A few weeks had passed since the "Mitsuya Incident" as Mikey called it, and he had been attached to Kozue more than ever.
A day hadn't gone by that he did not see her. Even on the weekends he would go her house or the bakery just to see those steel grey eyes.
Most people would've expected Kozue to get annoyed by the blonde boy, perhaps even beat him up a bit, but she couldn't deny that she enjoyed every minute the two spent together.
She just didn't get sick of him.
Not the childishness, the playful whining, not even the spontaneous hugs he would give her as she had finally gotten used to them. She valued their time together because after all, he was the first friend she had made in a very long time and she had forgotten what that bond felt like.
The two had been walking after grabbing some things from the supermarket. Mikey had accompanied her of course, but unfortunately out of nowhere, it started raining. They were still quite a way from home, so they opted to run for cover. There wasn't much room, so she was leaning against the wall while he stood in front of her sort of like a shield.
His eyes couldn't help but glance down to her glossy pink lips. They looked so soft and plump, and he couldn't deny any longer that he wanted to know what they felt like against his own.
'I'm falling hard, aren't I?'
He began to wonder whether she had kissed someone before. He wished he could be her first and also that she could've been his first kiss, but unfortunately that wasn't possible. He regretted kissing Ami. Even though it was only once, he had hated it and it felt nothing like he thought it would, he was just glad that was all they ever tried. The girl basically attacked his face in what he assumed she thought was sexy, though it was only rather disgusting. He was put off for what he thought was for life, until he met Kozue.
He wondered what it would be like to kiss her, and he thought about it often.
Suddenly someone bumped him from behind. He fell forward and his breath hitched when their noses touched. He was holding himself a mere centimetre away from her body as he braced his hands on the wall. They were close enough to feel the heat radiating from each other's bodies and Mikey's heart was beating so erratically that he worried she could hear it.
"I- I'm so sorry!" Mikey yelped as he went to step back, only for her to grab his shirt and pull him back towards her. He stumbled forward once more, his eyes widening at her actions as he braced against the wall once again and he breathed in her tropical shampoo, their lips mere inches apart.
'I- is she going to kiss me?!'
"Kou-chin, w- what are you doing?!"
"You were about to walk into someone." She warned him before letting his shirt go and dusting it off. He turned around to see an old lady giving him a death glare and figured she must've been the one he almost took out.
