General Supermarket

*He continued to kiss her, slightly licking her tongue but keeping it to a minimum, knowing how delicate of a girl she was*
*Iori pulled away after a while and looked at her, a new look in his eyes that appeared to be something past what they displayed earlier*
Shi...zu...ka..

(alright T.T)

Shizuka clenched her hand around Iori's shirt at his chest, feeling him deepen the kiss. She kept her closed as he pulled away from the kiss, her own eyes opening slowly and looking into Iori's. She released his shirt and brought her fingertips to the corner of her mouth, a rose petal red blush crawling and staying on her cheeks.

*Iori layed his head on her shoulder and hugged her*
That was wonderful, Shizuka.
You were...my first.

All Shizuka could really muster was a nod and a soft 'hn' in agreement to him. Her hand slowly moved under his arm to his back and rested on his upper back, the blush still intact. "That was my first kiss... too." she couldn't help but realize a smile had made it's way to her mouth when he explained it was his first too. Of course, people always said you would see fireworks during your first kiss, but now she thought that silly. You don't see them, you feel them inside you. The apple in her hand loosened up, feeling butterflies swarm inside her stomach madly, but... it was warm.

*Iori eyes widened after hearing it was her first kiss too, and a overwhelming feeling, like dynamite going off, erupted inside of him. He kissed her neck gently and couldnt do anything but sit and hold her in his arms, the feeling building even more*
*he whispered words into her ear after coming up from the kiss*
I might...be in love with you.

Feeling Iori's lips touch her neck made Shizuka's body go tense, her face returning to it's calm serene state. Hearing the words he spoke into her ear, her own eyes widened and the butterflies that simply refused to leave kicked it up a notch. Never had she heard anyone confess to her and the only thoughts that seemed to race around her mind were what really is love. She knew she loved Sakurai and Kukai, she knew she loved her friends, but this felt like a different kind of love. A rare kind. She parted her lips to speak, but no words came out, simply a soft breath, the apple in her free hand rolling off her leg, befriending the gravity and hitting the floor with a thud.

*Iori lift Shizuka up onto his lap and kept her in a hug*
Are you okay?
You seem...confused, or in shock.
*he pulled back enough to look at her, half of his smiling face being covered by his hair*

Shizuka must have weighed 10 kilograms or so because the way Iori lifted her up into his lap with both gentleness and ease surprised her. The hand that used to hold the apple rose up and delicately moved the hair that was covering the other half of his face, her touch tender and always naturally warm. Human, young ones mainly had a habit of always being warm, like a human hot water bottle. "I'm confused... but happy." she answered, her face tranquil and her voice soothing.

*he kissed her cheek*
Good, im glad you're happy.
*his eyes moved to their surroundings for a second, then back to her*
What an awkward place...to do this in.
Would you like to go somewhere else?
*his eyes moved to the bag that held the apples*
Im still hungry...

"Are... you alright, Iori-kun-" her voice was cut off short as she reached into the brown paper bag and pulled out a solitary yellowish green apple, offering it to him kindly. She shook her head and took a single glance to the people weaving through each other without a problem at all outwardly. "Alright, that's fine." her voice seemed a little distant but still, still tossing the idea of love back and forth in her mind. As she shifted a modest amount in his lap, her eyes moved back to Iori's gaze, a quaint smile complimented by her teal eyes, a shade lighter than they normally would be.

*Iori looked at the apple and accepted it kindly into his hand, and took a bite out of it. His eyes immediately lit up, looking a bit more lively*
Mm, im just hungry, is all. But i think this apple will do for now.
Thank you.
*He took another bite and swallowed it quickly*
Do you have a dorm we could relax in together?

"You're welcome, Iori-kun." she said a little saddened. She planned on but him actual food food before getting drifted away. He was probably still hungry, and she couldn't do much about it. Seeing his eyes regain life put her in a state of ease, a small amount of anxiety still wavering. She thought if she did have a dorm, she did always stay in Sakurai's dorm but she didn't want to disturb her sister's roommates. "I normally stay in onee-sama's dorm, but I do have one we can rest in." sitting in his lap made her laugh once softly, looking down to the floor and her feet barely touched the pavement.

*Listening to Shizuka's laugh warmed his heart as he stood with her in his arms, grabbing the bag with the apple left in it and walking toward the door*
Then, would you point the way out for me?
*he looked from her to the path that would lead him to the door*

Shizuka blushed and kicked her legs weakly as they moved back and forth slightly, wanting to get put down. She was acting rather childish but she wanted to try something with Iori. "Iori-kun, can I try something?"

*he looked down at her and sat her down onto the ground*
Mhmm, what is it Shizuka-chan?

Shizuka smiled as her feet made contact with the solid ground, feeling a tad less anxious. She stood beside Iori and took his hand in hers, intertwining their fingers together and looking up at him with a faint blush, a content smile on her face, her eyes closed peacefully. "This is nice..."

Mmm, it is.
*he smiled and looked toward the door of the market*
Should we be heading off then?
*he held her soft, seemingly fragile hand a little tighter*

Shizuka turned her face down to their hands and felt his hand tighten around her small one, opening her eyes. After wondering why he had done that, she didn't mind anymore and looked forward, walking with Iori out of the market and towards the dorm she truly resided in. "We should, heh."

*Yagami walked out of the store with Shizuka, letting her lead the way*
