There, in front of her door, stood Edgeshot in his pro-hero glory. Her sapphire eyes lit up with joy at the sight and couldn't help but smile at her idol hero. "E- Eijiro, thanks for walking me home," Her cheeks burned brighter than a burner on a stove, which she did her best to hide, and averted her attention to the small path leading to her door.

"Yeah, no problem! I hope I didn't make you feel awkward or anything," His face, also, brightened from embarrassment.

"N- No, not at all! I really... Appreciated your company and..." For a moment, the cybergirl trailed and began to fiddle with her thumbs awkwardly. Her sapphire eyes tried to look everywhere else so she could think of what to say until the words she needed fell from her lips. "I'm... Always here for you, if you need me. S- So text me or something, if anything's on your mind. I want to be there for you whenever... You want to hang out or get something off of your chest. Oh, wait-- w- what kind of sweets do you like?" Saito had the idea of baking him some sweets but the uncertainty made her reluctant, she wanted so badly to make him something. Despite her red face and obvious nervousness, the girl managed to pull through and ask.

Waaaah! She's so sweet and considerate! Inside his mind, comical tears trickled from his eyes while those clenched fists lifted close to his shoulders. His hysterical expression on the outside, made the lighter redhead confusedly blink at his reaction, and couldn't help but take notice of the random twirling hearts around him.

"E- Eijiro?" Her hesitant small hands inched close to one of the spinning hearts around his head and poked one of them, she was taken aback and comically jumped when it popped.

"Thank you, Uviel! I love orange flavors and specific types of syrups, what about you?" His toothy grin and closed eyes were enough to make her heart race, he wasn't aware of how she shifted nervously.

"Cool, I- I like chocolates and... Cherries, strawberries. Peanut butter and chocolate flavors," Her small smile curled her upper black lips after she used her fingers to push some strands from her long bangs more in front of her face.

"Awesome, we should go to a bakery someday and try out all sorts of sweets!" His beaming grin, his joyous energy, and the love behind his red eyes, all screamed how much he adored Uviel and he watched her shyly nod.

"Y- Yeah, cool-- I'd like that!" Her face was burning, she couldn't stop blushing. However, when she was about to step to the side to head toward her front door, she felt herself get pulled back and soft lips on her cheek.

"I'll see you tomorrow!" With that, he sprinted down the sidewalk past her house and waved goodbye over his shoulder.

Her gaze stayed glued to his backside as he gained distance from her and her upper-black lips never faltered from the smile she donned. Clearly, she enjoyed his lips on her cheek, but deep down she wanted them on her own again. She didn't know if he would kiss her if she asked, so nervousness and uncertainty about that still clouded her mind.
