Chapter 258 - I like you a lot (1/2)

Year 4014 Mist Kingdom - Princess Lyn's Chambers -

She could get used to looking at Kazuya like this. He's very handsome and doesn't look like an idiot when his mouth is clouded. Lyn stared at Kazuya, who was fast asleep on her bed. She placed her hand on her forehead that Rhys kissed moments ago. 'I'll leave you two alone tonight, but from tomorrow onwards. I won't let you get any peace.' She wondered if this was the right decision. Maybe she should have just allowed things to continue that way. But, if she did that, then Rhys would get hurt. She supposed there really is no simple solution to this whole love thing.

Lyn made her mind up though and climbed on top of Kazuya, as she gently kissed his lips. ”My Lyn,” Kazuya said, half-dazed, ”Why are you attacking me in my sleep?”

”I just wanted to try it,” she mumbled.

Kazuya smiled, ”Okay, then I'll sleep again so you can try more.”

”I obviously can't do anything now that you know.”

A half baked laugh, Kazuya's arms wrapped around her waist. ”Hey, Lyn.”

”Hmmm?”

”Do you want to marry me?”

Eh? Lyn blinked confused.

”You know I've been thinking about it for a while.”

”Y--you can't just propose like that! These things take time, and there are procedures,” she exclaimed. This guy is way too casual about everything. ”Mother seems to be preparing to announce my identity, so right now, it would be hard to…”

Kazuya nodded, ”Mmm, I know. Just wanted to try.”

...

Lyn didn't know how they ended up kissing right after that. But what she did know was she's never kissed Kazuya like this before. Her entire body felt like it was burning, and she felt his hands tighten around hers. The more he gripped her hand, the more he pressed their bodies together. The more Lyn could feel his lips. After a while, though, Lyn started coughing, and Kazuya pulled away.

”Crap, I used my tongue.”

Lyn hit him and scrambled off him, ”D--don't do that again!” she exclaimed.

Kazuya reached over and hugged her from the back, ”Sorry my Lyn, don't be angry.”

Geez, Lyn turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck. ”Kazuya, it's almost my birthday.”

”Hmmm, end of the month, right?”

”The 1st.”

Kazuya brushed his lips against hers, lightly kissing her. ”Then, I'll make sure to celebrate before I go.”

”Ah,” Lyn paused. Should she tell him that birthday celebrations in the Mist Kingdom are grand? They usually take about 2-3 weeks… ”Kazuya, why do you keep kissing me?”

”Sorry, I can't?”

When he acts like this, he's no longer the foolish and naive Kazuya. There is something serious about the way he looks at her. ”I didn't say that, isn't it uncomfortable because were standing up?”

Kazuya smiled, ”Mmm, are your pretty legs tired? Should I carry you?”

”I was just thinking Kazuya, what I did was it selfish?”

”Well, I know you have a small crush on Rhys.”

”Wh--what?!!” Lyn exclaimed, ”I--I don't like that pervert that way!” Gosh, how long has Kazuya had such thoughts? Is that why he keeps avoiding her? Lyn held onto him tightly and inhaled his scent. She has to admit that there is something different about Kazuya's scent then all the other guys.

Even though he acts like an idiot most of the time, she's always treated him as a man. Lyn was fully aware of how proactive their current position was too. But, she still didn't pull away from him. ”This is quite nice.”

Kazuya's cheeks burned red, and Lyn couldn't miss it, how he was fl.u.s.tered all the way to his ears too. This is one of the things she likes about him. Lyn didn't hesitate to voice that out, and added, ”I really love you a lot Kazuya.” While there are many things, she is still confused on. The feelings she has for Kazuya grow as each day passes by.

Kazuya pulled away from her and sank on the ground. ”Aaah geez, you…”
