"Can I kiss you?"

Akashi didn't respond. She wanted to say 'yes', but something was stopping her. A voice was repeatedly telling her to say 'no'. That same inner voice that had been repeatedly telling her to stop. Izumi said she should loosen up, so Akashi concluded she shouldn't be so strict with herself. Besides, he's looking at her with half-lidded eyes and his lips were slightly parted, it was very hard to refuse.

"Hm," she hummed nodding slightly. He pressed his forehead against hers then tilted his head to capture her lips. Her eyes fluttered close as his face got nearer their breaths already mingling with each other. When he was just a centimeter away from kissing her lips, he parted her fringe and kissed her forehead.

Akashi opened her eyes when she felt his cool lips on her forehead. "Senpai?"

He couldn't bring his self to kiss her, even after she said that he could. He didn't feel worthy of the redhead's lips. It was completely different to kiss her right there when he had her consent. Maybe that stolen kiss in the infirmary was enough. He felt ridiculous. He was fine with stealing a kiss, but he couldn't do it when the redhead gave him her approval. Your logic is just twisted in so many ways, his conscience told him.

"I really like you, Akashi." he said guiding her head to lean at the crook of his neck, then placed his hand at the top of her head, "You're driving me insane,"

Akashi felt at loss for words. How much further did he want her to suffer?

"Do you know how many sleepless nights I spend thinking about you?" everything he had bottled up inside, he just wanted to tell her now. He wanted her to know how much she affects him. He didn't care if she'll leave; he didn't care if her stay was temporary. He just wanted her to know.

"Akashi," he said breathlessly pressing his forehead at the top of her head. "I want y-"

He was cut off by her lips capturing his. Akashi had tilted her head to press her lips on his. She was clutching his shirt wrinkling it in the process. She broke the kiss even before he could react, but she didn't move away.

"Akashi," he whispered. She liked hearing him say her name. There was something different whenever she hears his voice utter her name. It felt nice. It felt great and it gives her a warm feeling.

She leaned her head against his chest her hands still clutching his shirt. Letting Nijimura kiss her was one thing, but her initiating it was completely different. She despised herself for even giving in to temptation even though she had braced herself for this scenario when she said she wanted to ride the ferris wheel.

"This is harder for you, isn't it?" he said softly. She didn't respond; she didn't even move an inch.

"Akashi,"

"Hm?"

"That selfie, should I send it to you?"

Akashi pondered for a moment whether she wanted to torture herself more than she already had or not. She straightened her back and let her hands fall on her lap.

"Please do," since when did she turn this much of a masochist?

He sent the picture to her.

"You could've smiled," he said nonchalantly as if they didn't have a 'heart-to-heart talk' earlier.
