Raiden, at least, didn't look as if he was about to faint or yell at her. In fact, he seemed to be as surprised - and confused - as Kiri was. She had to admit it had happened rather suddenly, but it was the same for her! There was no conscious thought or plan involved, she would never have been able to see it through.
Kiri shook her head vaguely, trying to get the clamour in her mind to quiet down enough so it would be possible for her to form coherent phrases.

She took a deep breath. "I-I don't know. I don't think I should have done it," she said as steadily as she could manage. But while that was probably true, Kiri wasn't so sure she could have prevented herself.
She stopped. There was not much else she could say. To try and get her feelings into words was impossible. Kiri was quiet for several moments. In the silence between them, she was practically shocked to discover the voices of the other students. She had completely forgotten about them.

"I..." Kiri smiled weakly. "I really like you, Raiden."

Several things became very clear to him, all at once. And they were troublesome things.

Kiri liked him. Really liked him, apparently. Which had somehow escaped his attention in his confusion over liking her. However... Part of him still had a crush on Celandine. Didn't it? His feelings had gone through a weird upheaval just now, but they seemed to be settling into the same places. He liked both of them, a whole lot. Which wasn't fair to either of them at all.

Raiden's hand moved on its own, reaching over and unknotting her fingers from each other. He slid his fingers in between hers, swallowing again to make his dry throat less scratchy. What did he do about this. What COULD he do about this?

"I like you too, Kiri," he said carefully. "A whole lot. But.. I don't know what to do about it. Because I think... I'm unfair." His free hand moved toward his mouth; he chewed on the tip of his thumb as he tried to think. Unlike the other areas of thought, this one had become murkier after... kissing. "I... I like both you and Cela. I wish I didn't, because it's unfair of me and you're both my friends and... I don't know what to do to make myself like one person less than the other."

Raiden Jae Kururugi was... a bad friend.
