(
Hey, is it that I could only meet you in such a situation? )
She was going to look back to this day and wonder. A whole lot. In the future.

Sasuke took slow steps toward Chrome, giving her the chance to change her mind before he reached her. It was probably pointless to do so, as they had agreed to try everything, but it was a chance for her to put this off until later. Never mind the fact that they wanted to have this done as quickly as possible.

She bit her lip, but held her ground nonetheless.

Bringing up a hand and tilting her head upward, Sasuke leaned forward, only to stop when his lips were a mere centimeter away from the other's. "Relax," he whispered.
A second later found his lips against hers.

She held herself stiff the whole time in spite of the bid to loosen up, unresponsive, not really knowing what to do.

So different compared to the last kiss he had.
As Sasuke pulled away, he couldn't help but think that. His kiss with Naruto had been intense and left him confused after the haze had passed. This one with Chrome in comparison was almost... innocent but without the emotion attached. There was nothing left in it's wake and while he would normally consider that a good thing, he wondered if it really was.
He took a step back to give them their space before looking at his left hand and tried to take the ring off.

Since he wasn't, that only meant that she could not afford to either. Chrome took a deep breath, and tried to remove her own ring as well.

Sasuke held his ring in hand, it having slipped right off his finger. He scoffed softly. So that was what they had to do in order to get it off. Ridiculous but at least they didn't have to do anything further than that.
"Hn."

They were likely to discover it on their own. What a bizarre and embarrassing exercise. Chrome did not realize it, but she was frowning down at the ring now in her hand, rather than stuck on her finger.

But now what were they supposed to do with the rings? Keep them until the island decided that it had it's fun this round, just in case? Or could they just toss them aside and no longer think about them?

"I wonder if these things are useless to us now."
She would never guess at how strange it was, them somehow thinking the same things at the same time.

"There's a chance of a consequence if we get rid of them. For now, we should keep them as a just in case factor," Sasuke said, thinking this would be best. Keeping them for the time being, thankful that they didn't have to wear them any longer.
Reply
Hopefully, he would not think any less of her.
"Agreed."
She paused again.
"...Thank you, Sasuke-san."
Reply
And now what else was there to do? Go our separate ways. There wasn't anything else keeping them here together any longer.
But remembering what today was and the messages he saw on the network, Sasuke wasn't inclined to go back to town just yet.
"What will you do now?"
Reply
She was not in the mood to go back to the town either, although...
"Are you hungry, Sasuke-san?"
Reply
But with that question, was she offering to spend more time together or was she implying something else entirely?
"I haven't eaten since last night." Truth, but didn't exactly answer the question.
