Although he had promised to stop a second before our lips met, it seemed he had gone back on his word. My very first kiss was happening in front of an audience during our school play. Izuru and I had a history that dated back to our childhood when he had always held the upper hand. Fortunately for me, being assigned to write the script for the festival play allowed me to avoid him entirely. However, when the actress playing the princess fell ill during the performance, I had to take her place. I was anxious about how to handle the final scene of the fake kiss, but now it was becoming very real. As I gazed at Izuru, he emanated the air of a charming prince and was genuinely appealing.
