So That's Why

Kairos found himself not knowing what to say. He had honestly never expected to be in this situation.

To have Nicole confess to him.

It wasn't as though he was unaware of her feelings, he just never thought that she was the type of person to do such a thing. It was honestly somewhat jarring for him to see her suddenly become so daring.

Nicole's beady eyes widened as she stared straight into his. Kairos did not look away, staring back at her. Though, just from the look on his face, Nicole was already losing hope.

Kairos let out a small sigh.

"Nicole, do you really think a relationship between the two of us would even work?"

Nicole clenched her fists tightly.

"I-I can become stronger! And braver too!"

Kairos shook his head before facepalming.

"No, that's not what I meant."

Nicole appeared distraught at his words.

"W-What do you mean?"

Kairos shrugged his shoulders.

"It's the kind of people we are. Haven't you thought about it?"

Nicole furrowed her brows slightly.
