Kagome hesitated before turning towards him.
“Look,” He began with a deep breath. “I do know what came over me when I kissed you.”
He chanced a glance at her and was happy that she didn't seem upset.
“And that would be?” Kagome prompted.
“It's a little rough to explain.” He scratched the back of his neck with his free hand.
“Let me try.” Kagome offered with a grin. “You've thought about it before. Kissing me.” She added when he looked a little confused.
He watched her carefully for any sign that she wasn't being serious. When her smile didn't fade he nodded in agreement.
“I didn't want things to change between us.” He admitted.
She wrapped her arms around his neck then forced him to look at her.
“I've thought of it too, only I never really realized it until you kissed me.”
And just like that, the sadness that had been in his eyes moments before, was gone. He smiled pressing his forehead to hers.
“You have no idea how good that sounded.”
They stood holding one another before he pulled away slightly with a serious look on his face.
“Now, if you don't change into something dry-”
“Only if you change too. You're soaked head to toe.” She interrupted shoving the t-shirt he had given to her into his chest.
She turned and walked to the still open dresser. She pulled out the next t-shirt on top slightly repulsed by the brightness of it's neon orange color.
“Seriously?” She asked holding the shirt towards him.
He shrugged and pulled his wet shirt over his head.
“I never wear it.”
“It's a good thing. You'd be mistaken for a traffic cone.”
