Keigo leaned closer, his golden eyes twinkling. “You’re really pulling out all the stops with this date at home, huh? Trying to sweep me off my feet?”

You smirked. “Is it working?”

“Oh, it’s working, dove.” He chuckled, his gaze flicking between your eyes and lips. His hand rested gently on your cheek, but suddenly—

“Wait—” Keigo blurted, his wings flaring, brushing the couch.

You blinked, startled. “Wait? For what?”

He flushed. “I… I need to tell you something before we, you know…”

You tilted your head, curious. “What is it?”

Keigo scratched his neck. “Okay, don’t laugh, but… I’ve never kissed anyone before.”

Your jaw dropped. “What?”

“I know! Crazy, right? I’ve had flings, but I kept it casual. I wanted my first kiss to be special. With you.”

You blinked, stunned. The number two hero, adored by millions, never kissed anyone?

Keigo laughed nervously. “I can see your brain short-circuiting.”

You smiled softly. “You’re the definition of smooth, Keigo. I’m just surprised.”

He shrugged. “Apparently not in every way.”

Your heart melted. “It’s nothing to be embarrassed about. It actually makes me feel special.”

Keigo’s eyes brightened. “Yeah?”

“Yeah,” you replied, leaning in. “But I’m going to have to teach you how to kiss.”

He laughed nervously. “You sure you want that responsibility?”

You cupped his cheek. “I’ll guide you.”

This time, when he leaned in, he didn’t pull away. His lips met yours—tentative at first, but more confident as you kissed him back. His wings fluttered, and you couldn’t help but smile.

When you pulled away, he was dazed, cheeks flushed. “Okay… I get why people like this now.”
