[ There could be outliers to why this is happening: the blood to Robby's head, the heavy conversation that came before it, their state of minds not entirely in the right place. Or it could be simpler: an easy attraction that neither of them considered until a dip in a pool and an argument, an accidental train of thought that led them all the way here, to this spot.
It could be loneliness, it could be solace, and seeking it. But Robby's sure that he won't regret this the next day, even if Tsuruno does: putting whatever they choose now for them, for this moment, and it's fine if it doesn't carry into the next day, or next week. No names, no labels.
They're stuck here, with nothing to lose. What's wrong with a kiss? What's wrong with two?
And Tsuruno isn't giving him any signals of wanting to pull away, or to take a step back. He'd been playful with the first kiss, not asking for anything more, a gift that didn't have to be more than a thank you, a mistake at worst. But this is different now as Robby looks at Tsuruno now, picking his hand up to brush his fingers against her cheek, to cup it, lean his head in a way that asks permission in how he pauses, then moves forward if she doesn't pull back.
To take her lips properly against his, to kiss her gently like a first kiss should be, he thinks.

As long as she's alright with it. ]
