Warm. He wasn't hot from the events, or cold from the weather, he just felt warm, glowy even.  She found her way into his arms, embracing him in a tight hug and thanking him.  Her face retreated into his neck and her breath sent small shivers up his spine, but he didn't blush and time didn't feel real.

[color=LimeGreen]"Hey...Nori, um, I..."[/color] she lifted her head up from the crook of his neck and their eyes met.

Suddenly, without hesitation, he leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers, kissing her for only a moment before pulling back to meet her gaze once more with a flushed face.
