[Ritsuka is rarely impulsive.

It's rare he gets a free moment and usually it's filled with something important. Studying. Taking pictures. Writing letters to the newspaper. Today, though, he's on his own, and he decided to go pay a visit to Ciel. Ciel never seems to leave the house after all, so he's pretty sure he'll meet his friend inside.

Ritsuka is dressed for the warm weather in the shorts and hoodie he arrived back in Siren's Port with. It's nice to have a few new clothes from his world, soft things that make him feel free and breezy when he wears them.

Thinking he hears someone in the bushes, the catboy is distracted, looking around. That's when he trips over the boxes of bulbs and goes stumbling.]

Waa--!

[And in that moment, Finny turns around just in time to see Ritsuka's face coming right for his. His eyes widen. His body freezes.

And in a one in a million chance, their lips meet.]

[The momentum of Ritsuka's movement means he more or less pushes Finnian to the ground, lips pressed against him. He stays there for a good half-moment before scrambling back, staring at Finny, red as a stoplight.]

F-finny?!

[Still as a statue. That's what Finnian is in the moments after impact. Eyes wide as saucers.

Finally, a trembling hand comes up to trace his bottom lip. A red flush takes over his cheeks, and the words that finally come out are barely above a squeak.]

... R-Ritsuka... you...
