[it's probably for the better, considering how short the kiss winds up being. something quick and purposeful, meant as revenge for Rom's goading. Edamura's attempt at flustering instead of being flustered for a change!! so. . . when he draws back, and there isn't a single hint of embarrassment on Rom's features, he feels an irritable sense of disappointment. that's not fair!!]
[he knows Rom's poker face is pretty good, but still!! not even a hint of a blush? a small spattering of pink on those cheeks? a few stuttered words of confusion?? come on, surely Edamura isn't that bad at this (. . . or maybe he is, considering how long it has been??). either way, he feels his shoulders stiffen defensively, another loud complaint dangling on the tip of his tongue]
