Kurumi felt like the chair and floor beneath her had vanished and she was falling...or maybe she was floating...of to some distant land where houses were made out of cookies and all the animals could talk and share philosophical conversation with you. Her expression softened, but her eyes remained intensly locked on Adam's. Had he just said the "L" word? It certainly had been a hude discussion topic last term with a certain stalking Slytherin, but Kurumi had not given it much thought as of late. Yet, now, here it was staring her right in the face and she had no idea how to react.

Wait, was he asking or saying it to her? The way he had trailed off at the end certainly made it seem like he was unsure himself. After all, could a 13-year-old and a 12-year-old really understand the weight of those words. The two of them hadn't even kissed besides a soft touch on the cheek.

Kurumi felt both lost and wonderful at the same time. Still, she had no idea what to say back. She wasn't even sure what love felt like...instead, she just stared at Adam with her violet eyes and smiled shyly. Her hair was probably changing colors a bit now, but what color it was turning was a complete mystery to her because she only saw Adam in this moment.
