Originally, this work was not planned. But, as I wanted to try the #bettertogethertutorial challenge from deviantart (but in MY way!), I tried to integrate this work as a prequel to this one: "Surprise kiss ..."

This is happening in Akira and Arthur's childhood, when they are still little charcadet. Arthur likes Akira, and wants to show them, giving them a little kiss on the cheek. At this point this is just childish, cute, and innocent but unfortunatly for Arthur, Akira is aromantic and that doesn't make them react more than that.
