heizou softly chuckled, his cute laugh echoing in your ears and making your cheeks heat up. he looked so cute, as he sat there, the fluorescent lights of the mushrooms glowing against him, with a box of juice in his hand. "of course i'll visit. don't be stupid."

awkwardly chuckled, you nodded your head... again, this wasn't the right question you had in mind, "yeah, sorry. what i meant is..." you paused, thinking about it. "when will that happen?"

"wow, already asking about it? i'm still here, after all."

you wanted to slap that teasing grin off his face.

"heizou..."

he laughed at your grimaced expression, then he bit the straw of his juice as he grinned at you. "heheh, sorry!" he kept that shit-eating grin on his face. "but i'm not sure... hopefully soon, i hope."

"maybe i'll fly you out to inazuma! who knows."

that just made you sigh. you really didn't want him to spend anything to fly you out... if anything, you wanted to surprise him in return and visit inazuma without telling him... someday.

and after that, you two just sat in comfortable silence, eating your food, occasionally chatting about random stuff — you talked about your friends, complained a bit about the fact that you'll start college again in a week, and heizou talked about his friends back in inazuma.

as you two talked, you didn't even notice that heizou scooted closer to you, until the two of you sat next to each other, legs crossed and knees touching, but you didn't mind one bit. it put a little smile to your face, as you listened to him ramble about kazuha.

but even as you two kept talking, rambling about whatever, and laughing to each other, one question lingered in heizou's mind, and that was why did xiao talk to y/n?

still, he wasn't surprised that you never mentioned it... he assumed you didn't want to talk about it. maybe xiao said something that made you upset, or maybe the conversation was just unimportant that you felt like you didn't need to mention it.

"...and that's how i met hu tao." you finished explaining the story of how you met hu tao for the first time ever. it wasn't a weird or unusual story, you actually met her when you accidentally walked in the occult club room back in middle school.

she was doing some ritual (that failed) with some other students, and when she saw that you walked in on what they were doing, she pretty much forced you, a stranger, to join them.

but you got no reply from heizou, and when you looked at him, you found him already staring at you. which startled you, as your eyes widened for a second, and you thought that he didn't realize that he's staring because his face went red, and he placed a hand on his mouth.

"oops." he awkwardly chuckled.

you scoffed, "were you even listening?"

"not really."

despite finding it annoying, you couldn't help but smile.

and you also couldn't help but blush as you noticed how close you two were, your shoulders almost touching as you both laid against the giant glowing mushroom, staring into each other's eyes.

your heart really couldn't handle such moments.

as your eyes scanned heizou's red face, flickering between his beauty marks, pretty green eyes, and lips, you felt your own heartbeat speed as you kept gazing at him like that. and he did the same exact thing with you.

"y/n?" you heard him call your name in a softer tone, and your eyes were immediately back on his, staring into them as they gazed at you with a look of adoration.

after a second of silence, "hm?"

"can i..."

he paused as he said this, and from your peripheral vision, you could see his hand moving towards you.

your eyebrows furrowed, feeling even more awkward. "can you...?" you repeated softly, already having an idea of what he wanted to ask, but you wanted to hear it from him.

you felt his fingertips lightly touch your jaw.

"kiss you?"

oh god. this again. you couldn't help the way your face heat up, or the way your heart almost jumped out of your chest, or the way your eyes widened at his question.

it wouldn't be the first time you two kiss, but this time... it was a completely different scenario, in a forest that looked like it came out of a fantasy video game.

you could only manage to nod your head, as you let out a shaky breath.

feeling heizou's hand cup your cheek, you looked at the way he smiled at you, and you closed your eyes once his face neared yours.

and a second later, you felt his soft lips on yours, his nose brushing against your own nose as he took you in that sweet kiss.
