...I thought so. I suppose I can also be picky about saying things straightforwardly, because a lot of the people I like can be pretty oblivious.
So... I'm not saying I want something romantic, or anything in particular like that. Just hanging out more is fine. But before we set up a couch on our private roof, I wanted to make sure you knew I didn't just kiss you because you were there, or something. I'll probably do it again.
[ You're morosexual, Maki. Case and point: he did in fact assume she kissed him just because he was there, based on the flicker of surprise in his expression.
He still looks flustered, but recovers admirably. Maybe partially because this kind of conversation keeps happening to him lately. ]
[And you know what. She's going to lean in for a kiss just to make sure. She doesn't linger long, but enough to press her lips firmly and decisively against his.]

Ah, unless you don't want me to... obviously.

He's somewhat expecting it this time - given the conversation - which means he kisses back without the initial hesitation this time. ]

Well. Don't you look smug.

Shouldn't I be? I get to kiss a boy I like. Like I told you, I'm pretty picky, and it doesn't usually work out this well.

You're right, of course.
