Oikawa, little by little, pulled away before he slowly opened his eyes again.
His hands, which were intertwined with Arūna's, relaxed as he gazed at the girl, whose face was tinted with a pink colour like his. This felt so... so outlandish. Oikawa barely acknowledged that the kiss was led by Arūna & not him. Though, Tooru wasn't disappointed.
Oikawa's eyes softened & he smiled.
Arūna felt Tooru's eyes linger on her as she tried to look back at him while suppressing her lips from curving upwards. That felt good.
The girl released one of Oikawa's hands before she covered her mouth. Arūna glanced at the table below her & licked her lips a little, noticing the lip oil she wore was wiped off by a bit.
- You did well. - Oikawa spoke, resting his face on his free hand.
- ...You... You did too.
Oikawa tilted his head & raised an eyebrow with a smug grin. He knew that Arūna probably responded like that due to instincts telling her to. It was the polite way to act after someone compliments you.
However, Oikawa wasn't against the sudden flattery, which only existed at the moment because of proper mannerisms. He leaned in a little.
- Oh? - he smirked. - Does that mean you want to kiss again?
Arūna looked up, not expecting such a response, while her side-swept fringe fell on the side of her face, almost covering her left eye. She stayed silent, giving Oikaw more of an answer than she could've served with words.
- Arūna~, - Oikawa called out slowly, - is that a yes, I feel?
She stayed silent.
Oikawa leaned back & properly sat down, crossing his arms with an obvious pout on his lips as he looked away like an upset child. Arūna glanced at his bitter state, already aware of the tantrum Oikawa was about to start.
- Arūna! - Oikawa whined. - We both know that I can't kiss you if you don't say so!
The girl craned her neck & glimpsed at the ceiling. Arūna let out a light sigh, trying to prepare a few words in her mind like a script she barely tried to memorise.
Arūna looked back at Oikawa, feeling her heartbeat fasten a little.
- Tooru, um... I've... I've been meaning to say this for a while now, and...
Oikawa looked back at her. His arms were still crossed, but the exaggerated upset frown quickly dissolved. Tooru listened patiently.
Arūna slapped her face.
- I—... I really like you, Tooru. I think I realised this a long time ago when we first met up for the portrait and... I really do like you. This probably sounds really stupid, but... fuck—
Arūna slapped her face again in an attempt to focus.
- It's okay. Take your time.
Arūna looked at Oikawa, seeing him smile widely with a mischievous yet gentle & sort of kind feel to it. Oh, dear... His entire existence consisted of mixed signals. Arūna deeply inhaled.
- I'm really happy whenever I'm with you, and it's calming around you. I'm glad you came to that one tutoring session, honestly. Thank you, Tooru, because I feel happy being with you.
The girl sighed, feeling the burning sensation in her chest gradually disintegrate. She looked up at Oikawa from the table, realising that only a few seconds passed by & he hadn't stopped smiling during them.
- ...That's all I wanted to say. Thanks for listening.
Really? Oikawa could tell there were probably many more words that went missing while Arūna was speaking. Entire sentences likely evaporated into nothing while she voiced.
Tooru reached for her hands, slowly intertwining Arūna's fingers with his again.
- Thank you, Arūna.
Oikawa saw the girl smile before she quickly hid it again. Tooru grinned. The small innocence he had quickly dispersed within his smile.
- So... Does that mean I get to be your boyfriend now?
- Huh?
Arūna's head perked up, surprised by the sudden questio— confession? What even was this supposed to be?
- I mean, I guess? I don't know. If you want to, then you ca—
But before Arūna could finish speaking, Oikawa quickly leaned in & pecked her lips softly. A smirk lay on his face as he did so.
Arūna pulled back, awaiting Tooru's response.
- I'd love to be with you, Rūna'chan. - Oikawa stated. He got up & sat down next to the girl.
Oikawa wrapped an arm around Arūna's waist & laid his head on her shoulder, feeling the perfume she wore tickle his senses. Arūna smiled shyly, hugging him back.
