30kai no kiss
"30th kiss"

This list ("30 kisses") has been done over and over again, but I've been working on it ever-so-slowly since 2005...? Wow. So, while people could very easily say "it's been done before," I'm still willing to have fun with it!

These are mostly anime-based, due to certain manga endings that I don't like to discuss. I started working on these when the Spiral manga was still in progress, after all, so I'm not willing to throw my pieces away just because one medium ended differently than the other. (tl;dr: The anime is an alternate universe and I can write as much Ayuhiyo as I want, nyah nyah.)

Enjoy!


"Narumi-san! Look, look!"

"Hn."

"Narumi-saaan, look here!"

"Nn."

"Please look, Narumi-san! Pleeease?"

"No."

"Narumi-san." When she said his name like that it was obvious that she was exasperated, and probably close to throwing a temper tantrum. Ayumu sighed and allowed the cooking magazine to slip off his face, the periodical landing on the rooftop with a quiet thud. For a moment the world was all sunlight and sky, but then it was filled with her and her hair tickling his nose as she kissed him. He sneezed and she broke away laughing, her cheeks bright with a blush. "Narumi-san ruined it again."

"You didn't have to surprise me."

"It's fun, though..."

"I won't look next time."

She pouted and this time he laughed, stretching his arm upwards to push aside her hair before she kissed him a second time, and the sunlight was lost somewhere in between them and forgotten.
