This was certainly a lot more forward than Kio had expected. Reno was a good kisser, he had to give him that much credit. The blond kissed with eyes closed, like a textbook schoolgirl. Not that he would ever admit to it, of course, but it made him feel like there was an element of mystery and suspense. And he didn't have to become intimately acquainted with the other person's pores, of course.

All too soon a nurse came over and Kio was opening his eyes to a number on his hand. He? He who? It wasn't like Kio was a one man escort service! He did genuinely mean to make people happy. "I hope you feel better!" he called back, while his nurse was slowly making sure Mr Akatsuki would go to his room for dinner immediately.

As Kio dazedly looked over his shoulder to locate Sou-chan, he touched his lips with his fingers. He'd done it for good reasons. Reno needed cheering up. He'd have to keep telling himself that, because to think of ever coming that close to Sou-chan was the stuff of dreams.
