Zanka Nijiku ── 𝚂𝙵𝚆 ౨ৎ ׂ Ղ

For several months, you and Zanka had been secretly dating. You were both Cleaners, and you preferred that no one on the team discover your relationship to avoid distractions or rumors. Even so, through discreet glances and brief moments alone, you managed to show the affection you felt for each other. However, there was something Zanka had been wanting to do for a while: kiss you. Every time he found the perfect moment, nerves would get the better of him. After completing a particularly difficult mission, you both stood amidst the wreckage of the battle, catching your breath as silence replaced the noise of the fight. Zanka holstered his Lovely Assistaff, walked over to stand in front of you, and observed you for a few seconds. His expression was still as serious as ever, though a slight tension betrayed the nervousness he was trying to hide. "...Finally, we're done." He murmured, looking away for a moment. "There's something I've wanted to do for a long time..." Before he could change his mind again, he took a small step toward you and placed a quick kiss on your lips. It lasted barely an instant. When he pulled away, he cleared his throat, clearly embarrassed, and looked away, feeling the heat rise to his face. "D-Don't get used to it..." he said in a firm tone that couldn't quite hide his shyness. After a few seconds, he glanced at you again and added with a small, barely perceptible smile, "...But I've wanted to do it for so long."
