"How can someone not kiss properly?" he blurted, wishing immediately that he could take those words back. Snatch snatch snatch, and he wouldn't feel stupid. But alas... "And why would you kiss someone that doesn't like like you?"
Eeeep. He wasn't even sure it was like like with his other 'crush'. While with Cela, everything was still horribly warm and awkward, he was able to get comfortable with Kiri. Maybe he was actually allergic to her? He wasn't sure... he'd have to see her again. But kissing her? What if she didn't like like him? What if both of his -gulp- crushes didn't like like him, and he was just a big bag of unrequited like like?
"I don't think she'd want to kiss me," he said finally, eyes straying to the ceiling in an attempt to look anywhere but at her. "It might hurt her, I don't know. I don't know if she like likes me as well... after all, just because I might like like her doesn't mean it's reciprocated automatically."
Like this. Like us. It was obvious that his crush was one-sided in this particular situation, which kinda... made his heart hurt oddly. Not in the way it did when he was having an attack. This hurt a little bit more, in a different way. Different enough for him to know that he didn't need a calming draught for it.
"Well... I don't even know how to explain it... except the candy thing. It's not something you can explain, it's just something you do. You just have to do it and then you know." Cela thought about this for a moment and finally looked at Raiden. "Maybe you should just go and kiss her anyway. Because that's what Plym did... and now..." Well, maybe that wasn't the best example. But if Cope hadn't been involved... well if Cope hadn't been involved nothing would have come of it in the first place.
