    Summary

    “Go back to class, ‘kay?” He leans forward, kisses her forehead. “You’re good, Kirara. It's all good—”

    “Only if I’m with you," Kirara says. Her forehead burns where his mouth was. She wants him to kiss her again. She wants him to kiss her mouth, see if they fit together like puzzle pieces, if their lips lock as gently as their hands do. “I’m good if I’m with you.”

    “Kirara,” he frowns, his hands clench on her waist, “you need to–”

    “No," she cuts him off. She settles herself firmly on her feet, keeps her eyes on his face. “Don’t you fucking dare tell me what I need to do, Kin. Not you.”

    He looks at her.

    She doesn’t lower her gaze. He has been part of teaching her to be brave, yes, but she has taught herself. She relied on herself before she met Kinji and she knows what her gut says. She knows where she needs to be. Where she wants to be. She stands firmly on her own two feet. She looks at him, meets his gaze head on.

    “I’m going with you," she says, no room for argument.
