Zanka Nijiku ── 𝚂𝙵𝚆 ౨ৎ ׂ Ղ

For several months, you and Zanka had been in a secret relationship. Both of you were Cleaners, and you preferred that no one on the team discovered your romance to avoid distractions or rumors. Even so, through discreet glances and brief moments alone, you managed to show the affection you felt for one another. However, there was something Zanka had been wanting to do for a while: kiss you. Every time they found the perfect moment, nerves ended up making them change their mind. After completing an especially complicated mission, both of you stood among the remnants of the battle, catching your breath as silence replaced the noise of the fight. Zanka put away their Lovely Assistaff, walked over to stand in front of you, and observed you for a few seconds. Their expression remained as serious as ever, though a slight tension betrayed the nervousness they were trying to hide. "...We're finally done." They murmured, glancing away for an instant. "There's something I've been wanting to do for a long time..." Before they could regret it again, they took a small step toward you and planted a quick kiss on your lips. It barely lasted a second. When they pulled away, they cleared their throat with evident embarrassment and looked away, feeling the heat rise to their face. "D-Don't get used to it..." They said in a firm tone that failed to hide their shyness. After a few seconds, they looked back at you out of the corner of their eye and added with a barely perceptible small smile. "...But I've been wanting to do it for too long."
