The calming night

"Keep your hands off!" Marie spat, her voice filled with fury. While Hino still clung firmly to Marie's wrist, Marie brushed it off and looked at him with an angered face, her resentment and frustration clear to see. The relationship between the two had dissolved into an intense confrontation, where Marie had no desire to be touched by Hino. This quote shows the passionate intensity of Marie's emotions and the growing antagonism between her and Hino as the two continue to argue and fight over their opposing viewpoints.

"I am late for work!" Marie added, her tone sharp and sarcastic due to her frustration and anger. The two were clearly not seeing eye to eye, as the tension and conflict between the two only seemed to be increasing. With the addition of Marie being late for work, Hino's grip on Marie's wrist may have been seen as an attempt to keep her there and discuss matters further, despite her needing to be elsewhere. It was a reminder of their conflicting priorities and responsibilities.

Marie walks out with her determined and confident steps. She didn't seem afraid of the confrontation or the consequences, as she knew what she wanted and was willing to do what it takes to get it. She had made up her mind and couldn't back off now, even if it meant facing the consequences. Her determination and resolve was clear to see, as she had already set her mind on what she needed to do next and she wouldn't let anything or anyone stop her.

Shizuru noticed Marie, who was sitting at her desk at work and opening her laptop. It was a little unusual for Marie to be working this late, as she usually would have left by this time. Shizuru knew that Marie was a hard worker and she was always one to take her job seriously, so she knew this was something that was out of the ordinary for Marie. She could sense there was something different about Marie, something unusual, and she couldn't shake off that feeling, as she knew that Marie was a very organized and efficient person who would not go beyond work hours unless something important had come up.

At midnight after Shizuru's work, she drove home to their apartment and saw Hino drinking his whiskey in their bedroom. She felt concerned about Hino, so she took his glass away from him. However, Hino wouldn't let go of his glass and his grip was strong. "Can I have one last glass?"

Shizuru asked, taking it and not giving the glass to Hino again. "No, Hino!~ Do you want poor health?" She said, showing that her only concern was for Hino's well-being and she wanted to make sure he doesn't overdrink.

Hino, realizing that Shizuru isn't going to change her mind, reluctantly gave up the glass and just watched as Shizuru threw his whiskey away. It was clear that he was used to doing what Shizuru wanted, as he didn't protest or try to stop her this time. Shizuru's concern for him seemed to have some impact on him, and he didn't seem to mind that he wouldn't be able to drink anymore.

Shizuru was relaxing in the bath tub, her hair put in a bun and her body freshly cleaned. Hino was behind her, standing in a bathrobe with a face mask that showed his hair tied up in a fluffy bandana. He was gently massaging Shizuru's shoulders, showing a moment of tenderness and affection. Shizuru was comfortable with Hino, as she was reaching for items to hand to him, showing how much she was used to him and his touch. It was a meaningful moment between both of them, as Hino was working hard to care for Shizuru.

As Hino continued to stand behind Shizuru in the bathtub, his facial expression showed signs of frustration and eagerness to end this moment. It was as if he was impatient and wanted to get it over with. This could indicate that Hino wasn't comfortable in this situation, and was becoming agitated and eager to leave. It's also possible that this might have been a moment of tension and conflict between Shizuru and Hino, as Hino's patience was wearing thin.

Shizuru yelled at Hino, "HEY HINO!" As she noticed Hino's grip was getting too strong and he seemed to be getting faster and more eager to end the moment. She seemed to take pleasure in teasing Hino and seeing him become impatient. It was as if she was trying to test Hino's patience, and it seemed she was enjoying the power she had over him in that moment. It was a moment of playful tension between the two, as they seemed to be in a tug-of-war over who could get the upper hand in the situation.

Hino muttered to himself, "Once you're done here, this bathroom is mine now!" Shizuru replied with a teasing tone, "Then why don't you join me here?" Hino said in an impatient tone. Shizuru teased him further by removing his facemask, causing Hino to yell in pain. This exchange of words showed the playful and flirty tension between the two. It was as if Hino wanted to establish a sense of control in the situation, but Shizuru was able to keep him off balance and on his toes, causing him to feel frustrated and impatient.

Shizuru couldn't hide her glee as she heard Hino's scream after she tore off part of the face mask as she found his reactions hilarious. She was laughing and enjoying the fact that she had caused him some discomfort and annoyance. It was a moment of teasing and power play between the two, as Shizuru was able to see Hino become flustered and uncomfortable. This lighthearted moment broke the tension between the two as they both let their guard down and started to have fun with each other.

After the whole bathing session, Shizuru and Hino put on their casual shirts, indicating that they were now ready to go to bed. This was a moment of relaxation and quietness between the two, as they both seemed to let go of their earlier tensions and frustrations. It was a calming end to their day, as they both got ready for a nice, peaceful night's sleep. The tension and conflict that may have been present earlier seemed to fade away and things were back to normal. It was a cozy moment between the two, as they were now ready to get comfortable and rest.
