"You love me?!" Kanaru exclaimed. It is the first time in his life that he has been so shocked.
But he was happy, very happy.
The shackles in his heart and the insecurity he had of himself disappeared with those words.
"Yes, I love you!" She smiled warmly as she said that.
Kanaru could see her smile clearly, it was a pure smile that he loved from her.
Even though the room was dimly lit, it now seemed like they could both see each other clearly.
Misaki was still holding his hands.
Then Kanaru took action.
"Misaki Shokuhou, meeting you was the best thing that has happened to me in this life, there is no other woman like you in this world. You were with me since I left that damn place, at first, I acted like an idiot with you, but then I fell in love with your altruism towards me. I… I love you… you have no idea how much I love you."
A look of determination appeared in his red eyes.
"Since you helped me find my goal, I have always thought of you. My eyes are only focused on you and I want you to be the woman of life. So…"
Kanaru moved closer to her ear.
"Would you be my girlfriend?"
Misaki didn't take a second to answer him.
"Yes! Yes! I was afraid you would never ask me that. I love you! Kan-"
Before she finished speaking, Kanaru kissed her.
She widened her eyes when she received that sudden kiss.
She didn't expect him to take the initiative in kissing her.
This was Misaki's first kiss.
She saw how Kanaru had his eyes closed and she did the same.
Both Kanaru and Misaki enjoyed this spectacular feeling.
After a while they parted.
"That was our first ki-."
He didn't finish speaking when Misaki took the initiative to initiate another kiss.
But this kiss was much shorter.
"In the future we will say that I was the one who took the initiative of the first kiss." She said with a firm expression.
Kanaru was surprised once more.
"It's a joke. You know, that was my first kiss, now you have to take full responsibility. " She added with the same expression.
"Responsibility, huh?" Kanaru muttered with a complicated expression.
Suddenly Misaki remembered something that she saw in Kanaru's memories.
She remembered how Karui said those same words to him and ...
Misaki blushed again remembering those details.
But in fact, she was jealous that another woman took many 'first times' from Kanaru.
So, her face showed determination.
"I'm not going to lose to her!" Misaki exclaimed.
'Wait, wait, wait. She is 14 years old, right? She is overthinking it. It is still too early. Although… I lost 'that' at 13 years old…' Kanaru's thoughts were in chaos.
Then he came up with an idea to get out of this situation.
"It seems my duty calls me. I must go to face the evils of this city…" Kanaru said that in a serious tone.
"Academy City is now literally the safest city in the world because of you!"
She pushed Kanaru.
He tugged on her hand.
Misaki was on top of him.
Kanaru's head was in the middle of her breasts.
["I admit... this is new..."] Since Kanaru couldn't speak, he used telepathy to communicate with Misaki.
["I know ... this is not something she can match me!"] Misaki replied.
["For some reason I feel like this was already premeditated by you..."] Kanaru said.
["33 days."] Misaki said.
33 days since she saw that scene in Kanaru's memories.
Then Kanaru stopped holding back.
It was a long night.
Luckily Kanaru isolated the sounds in the room.
Although Misaki wanted to take the initiative, it was Kanaru who ended up teaching her many new experiences.
It was a night full of 'recovery.'
And a night that they would both never forget for the rest of their lives.
