[ Is an absolute bummer. Ellie is silent as she sits through the kiss, brief though it may be. But the five seconds it happens she feels... Nothing. It's nice to be this close to Hiro because she absolutely cares for him but. ]
[ It's... Strange. The way his lips feel aren't as soft and full as she'd imagined they would be. The peach fuzz on his face prickles at her lips and leaves them tingling, feeling strange as they part. What she'd experienced when she had kissed Riley? Not even close. ]
[ Ellie slowly breaks it, face hovering a mere two inches from Hiro's as she tries to string together the right emotions. She doesn't feel right. She feels kind of... Well, bad. Bad that she isn't excited about this and bad that she can't figure out why. But she tries to make face, to smile before he catches that. ]
[ Hiro, meanwhile, is still giddy enough that he misses some of that; he only catches the tail end of her uncertain expression. By then he's already flushed and excited as he adjusts to the thought that kissing can be fun. It was kind of nice...
And then he sees that look. Immediately his grin fades a little and takes on an uncertain pallor. ]
[ Ellie's face is red with the same level of embarrassment, but that giddiness is missing completely. She backs away a tad, shoulders hiking up to her ears. ]
Y-Yeah.
Yeah, it... It was great.
[ Please have this come off as giddiness, please have this come off as giddiness. ]
[ He can sense that something is off, and his paranoia won't let it completely escape his notice. But - he's happy too, incredibly so. Maybe she's just a little nervous. It had to have been just as nice for her too, right? ]

O-okay, good. I mean, you'd tell me if it wasn't?
