@sunlilted: They'd spent enough afternoons together for Keira to no longer fuss when he insisted on escorting her back to the bookshop as the sun set, seeing her right to the door. Countless times she'd teased him about being a proper gentleman, an honest man-- this time however she foregoes the usual teasing, instead bouncing up to press a quick kiss to his cheek, and oh dear there was sure to be a faint mark left there, a light shade of pink. " I'll see you tomorrow, Darling. " & Like that she's vanishing back into the depths of the store. 

He looked forward to these afternoons with Keira. Few in number, but joyous all the same, he walked next to her on the way back to her shop. With the sun setting, and casting Central City in an orange glow, he caught himself smiling down at her. She hadn’t teased him yet by using words like honest and proper to describe him. With those sorts of remarks, he always answered with a chuckle or a roll of the eyes--sometimes even asking her if she knew just who she spoke to.

It seemed she did. Roy hadn’t expected such forwardness, his cheeks tinting pink as she kissed one. Darling? Was... but... when did... how? Before he could utter a single word, or even think of returning the favor, she disappeared into the store.

So, she was sweet on him too, and she thought to make the first move. Usually, he had that honor. Well...

How silly he must have looked standing in front of that bookshop with a hand to his cheek, dazed as if no one ever showed him affection before. It took a minute for him to snap out of that reverie. Oh, he’d find a way to return the favor. Now that he knew she liked him, he had endless possibilities to choose from.

“Just you wait.”
