And while she was very happy that Raiden appeared to care about her a lot, there was a giant but attached to it. They were only in this situation, though, because of Kiri! Poor Raiden.

And poor Kiri.

When Raiden had finished, she didn't say anything while she tried to think but merely played with Raiden's fingers in an absent-minded kind of way. His skin was beautifully warm and soft. "Cela..." Kiri murmured.

She sighed. "I... guess I sort of knew, Raiden," she said quietly, staring at their intertwined fingers. In the darkness, they were indistinguishable. "But I-I didn't want this to happen. You shouldn't have to decide something like that. I'm sorry," she mumbled, squeezing his fingers awkwardly. "Don't go and... and choose, that's not right. It won't happen again. I... won't," she whispered the word, "kiss you again." And why did she sound so depressed? She managed to meet Raiden's gaze again. "But... thank you for being so understanding." She smiled.
Part of him... a very large part of him... wished that he actually WAS allergic to girls. Right now. Because it would be a lot easier to go through life being allergic to girls rather than... liking them. Chewing on his thumb a little harder, Raiden stared at the fire and the students around it. Anywhere but at the person next to him.

"You're apologising again for something that's not your fault," he said flatly, his index finger rubbing the back of her hand absently. "It's my own fault. I just don't know what to do about it."

It wouldn't happen again. The small part of him that didn't want to be allergic to girls protested greatly at that. And why shouldn't it happen again? Cela had made a point of showing that kissing wasn't just between people that were all in love with each other. She'd kissed Varius Tipps, hadn't she?

"Don't say that." He winced. "You can kiss me all you like, if you like. If you want to..." He glanced her direction. "If it's something that you like and it makes you happy... then I don't mind."
