Seito did not even know how he should respond; what did guys normally do in this situation? He tried to wrack his brain, but he couldn't think of anything. She was being really forward... was it okay for him to do the same?

Why was he even thinking about what would be okay or not?! Just who was manipulating who here!?

It took him a moment to pull himself together as he held onto her (why wasn't she trying to get away from him?), before he leaned close. That serious look was back on his face, though it was almost... smoky? Sexy? He wasn't exactly the seductive type, but Rise always looked like she melted when he gave her that look, so...

"Maybe that's just what I wanted you to think..." he murmured softly.
