She knew this day would come. It didn't matter how many hints she dropped, how embarrassed she would be, or how uncomfortable he would feel. Enough was enough. If she didn't do it now, he'd make it worse. He'd make it worse by talking more about her.

"Senel!" Chloe shouted, causing him to snap his head in her direction, looking confused.

"Uh… Chloe? I was… talking."

Chloe stormed right up to him, fire in her eyes. Senel couldn't remember a time where he'd seen her this determined.

"Chloe?"

"Senel," her voice strong, "Over the course of our time together I have made many observations and have come to one conclusion."

"…Wait… What?--"

"Senel, you misunderstand the meaning in the words I speak to you, you don't notice the looks or gestures I give you." She glanced away quickly before saying, "This has lead me to believe this is the best course of action."

"Er, hey Chl-- ah!" Senel stopped short, a pair of lips shoved roughly onto his. He's too surprised to close his eyes, and right now he wishes he could, because her eyes are open and staring right into his.

Chloe suddenly moves back, breathing softly through her mouth. Senel… hasn't really moved yet, his body and mind still trying to comprehend what just happened. Chloe blinked a few times, turning around and crossing her arms.

"Well?" she asks curiously.

There is a moment of silence before Senel hesitantly asks, "Chloe… You… like me?"

Chloe's eye starts twitching as she stomps her right foot angrily into the ground. She can't believe this…

"Senel," her voice thick with frustration, "You're so damn dense!"
