The room stayed quiet after the kiss.
Not awkward.
Just warm.
Mo Wan still sat close against Zero, her fingers intertwined tightly with his while she tried unsuccessfully to calm her breathing.
Zero looked far too relaxed for someone causing this much damage.
"…Don't look at me like that," she muttered softly.
"Like what."
"Like you're enjoying this."
"I am enjoying this."
Her face immediately became red again.
"…You answer too honestly."
"You asked honestly."
"That's different."
Zero smiled faintly before brushing several loose strands of hair behind her ear again.
Mo Wan immediately became cautious.
"…No."
"Mhm."
"…Zero."
He leaned closer anyway, kissing the edge of her ear softly.
Mo Wan trembled against him instantly.
"…Ah…"
"You really react every time."
"T-That's your fault…"
He kissed her ear again lightly, making her bury her face against his shoulder immediately afterward.
"You're too weak against this," he whispered near her ear.
