After training ended, you mentioned in passing that you were thirsty. So, almost unconsciously, I tossed my water bottle to you, and you gave me a bright smile and said thanks. Yeah, that's where it started going wrong. From the moment you smiled. My heart felt ticklish at your smile, so I couldn't help but respond to your thanks with a grin of my own. Now, thinking that water is new, you press your lips to it and take a drink.

Ah, that's not a new one.

Your lips lightly touch the bottle where my mouth just was. I told you it wasn't new...! From that moment, my face starts burning like crazy. This is that thing, you know, that... it's indirect. An indirect kiss...? I turn even redder. Ah, I shouldn't show you this side of me. But my face won't listen and keeps getting redder, and I manage to speak to you in a tiny, crawling voice.

Guest...! That's indirect...!! Do you realize that?!

Sigh... I'm doomed. What should I even say? Or is your innocent self even aware of what an indirect kiss is? All sorts of thoughts start crashing into my head.
