Reincarnated Hero System

"Didn't I tell you I was saving it for when I get a 'yes'. "

Eliza's eyes flew open upon hearing his words, and her expression changed in an instant. Instead of the bashfulness from before, now it was more like equal parts shame and anger.

She glared at him through tear-filled eyes but the boy acted like he didn't notice and took his hands off her body, even the left hand that was pinning her wrists down on the couch's armrest.

The sudden absence of the heat of his palm on her body filled her with a strange sense of loss, and Evan could see it in her eyes.

He could also see the desire to regain that heat, barely preventing his lips from curling up into a grin as he opened his mouth to speak.

His earlier words attempted to quench the flames burning within her, but the fire that had been lit in the girl beneath him was far too fierce to be doused by that little bit of water.

It was something that Evan had wanted and had planned for, even so, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise when the flames burst out with ferocity, as if he had instead spurred them on.

"It's getting late. You're obviously feeling tired from the day's activities, so how about yo-!"

Evan never got to complete that statement and the reason couldn't be any more obvious.

It was simply because the lips that had been speaking, had been covered up by another pair of light pink lips.

The boy's surprise could be seen in his eyes as he hadn't expected Eliza to just abruptly grab the collar of his shirt while he was still speaking, pull him towards her and smash her lips against his all in one fell swoop.

The set of motions was so swift and precise that it took the boy a second for his brain to comprehend exactly what was going on.

But in the next second when he did;

"Mmph?!"

The girl could see herself reflected in Evan's eyes as the boy overlapped his lips on hers, with his tongue invading her mouth.

Eliza reflexively opened her teeth when she felt Evan's tongue hit them, allowing the boy to find hers. As soon as he found it, he immediately entangled it in his, sucking on it and making her feel weak all over.

She was sure that if he did that while she was standing, then she would not have been able to remain on her feet afterwards.

Such a random thought passed through her mind, something that Evan might have noticed as the next action he took pulled all her attention towards him, even the small percentage of her mind that was thinking random things.

One of his hands went right around her body and enclosed her waist, pulling her closer to him while the other rested on the side of her face.

At first, she just let Evan's tongue explore her mouth, but gradually she recovered from her surprise and began responding, starting to suck on his too.

Evan's hand that was on her waist held onto it tighter while pulling her closer, with the girl feeling her body press on his.

At this point, she was fully accepting the kiss. Their first deep kiss that continued until they ran out of breath.

When their lips separated, Evan could see a trail of saliva at the corner of her mouth, something he slowly licked while gazing directly into her eyes.

She was surprised but there was no resistance. Rather, her face was so flushed right now that one might think that she was drunk if they saw her appearance without any context.

They just continued staring at each other, with Evan's eyes remaining on her until Eliza's embarrassment finally caught up to her, with the girl turning her head away.

**Sigh

The boy heaved a small sigh before moving his second hand down to Eliza's waist, he then placed his both legs on the ground and lifted her up into the air.

"Huh? W-what the?!"

Ignoring her surprised words, Evan sat back down on the couch and placed Eliza's body atop his, such that she was sitting astride his lap.

Because of the position, her eye level was a bit higher than his so he had to raise his head slightly to stare into her eyes.

His hand found its way around her waist and pulled her body closer to his again, inadvertently snapping Eliza out of her daze.

"E-evan…"

The embarrassed expression on her face made him want to tease her again but he decided against it this time, instead choosing to carry on with his original intentions.

"Hey, Liz."

"I like you."

The boy's eyes widened in surprise for the nth time this night as Eliza beat him to the chase, expressing her feelings directly.

"I actually have for a while now. I just could not find the courage to admit it, I guess?"

It was quite the unsophisticated confession without any flowery expressions, so Evan, being himself, decided to go with a similar way of responding.

"I know. I have known for a while now.

I feel the same way about you too."

Eliza wasn't surprised upon hearing his words, having expected him to pull something like that.

The two gazed at each other in silence as the distance between them naturally narrowed, with them closing their eyes gently.

Although both of them had their eyes closed, they kissed each other on the lips so naturally.

Unlike before, it was a simple short kiss.

But when their lips parted, and when their hot breaths flowed out between the small gap in their lips.

When they gently opened their eyes and gazed at each other.

Evan and Eliza realized at the same time.

That something had changed.

Even though it wasn't the first kiss, maybe perhaps it was because this one was after the two had spoken their feelings for each other.

The two focused on each other more after the words Eliza spoke without realizing it.

"O-one more time."
