The Simpler Choice

"That's not what I meant! Hahahah! Stop! I have to go!"

"Fine, fine… I will miss you." 

"I hope you will!" Liz chuckled. "Alright, off you go! I have to get dressed!"

"You can't get dressed with me in the room?"

"I can but… It would be a bit embarrassing…"

"Hm. Fine, just this once, then."

"Thank you, Cero." Liz lay her hands on his shoulders and got on the tip of her toes, kissing him. "I'll see you later then." 

"Yeah." He nodded and walked towards the door.

Just as he was about to leave the room,

"I uh… I have to talk to you about something. Later."

"Hm?" Liz tilted her head, having started making her bed. "Yeah… Alright."

The Paru stared at her a moment, nodded, and left the room.

'W-W-What? What do you mean…? Is this the -We need to talk- thing? There's no way…'

Liz's eyebrow was left twitching.

'Already?!'
