( it's almost overwhelming. honestly, shiemi tries not to think on to hard on the moment out of that deep fear lingering in her heart that she might second guess herself (as she always does) or take off in embarrassment (which has happened more than once) to hide in her own cabin. yet, despite her worrying thoughts, she draws closer to him and tries to ignore the loud drumming in her ears. what she can't ignore is the jolt that passes down her spine as his fingers comb through her hair nor how he moves to hold her hand, holding it close against his face.
she feels surprised at every turn though, in truth, the biggest surprise is how much she likes this. likes kissing him. he was her childhood friend, her first friend and she cared for him without doubt but this... this feeling burning in her chest was completely different.
there is a stillness on her part as he pulls back, feeling his breath as she blinks once and then twice. how was that? words don't even make sense in her head anymore and talking seems to have utterly failed her as she looks to him with flushed features. she does the only thing she can think of in the moment, her only way of getting all of her feelings across and leans in to capture his lips in another kiss. chocolate coated courage, indeed. )
