“Huh? Onoda-kun, what are you doing?”

As the situation settled in her head, Fuyu hurriedly covered her cheek as a hint of panic occupied her face. She blinked a few times, trying to make sense of the situation. Then she started squirming to get out of my embrace.

My hold voluntarily loosened a little, just enough to give her freedom of movement. Moreover, she’s squirming not because she’s repulsed by what I did. It was nothing but an unconscious reflex by her for having been put in a situation that she was least expecting. As seconds gradually passed, Fuyu gradually settled down as she pressed her back against my chest.

I know. From our previous interactions, I used to keep my hands off of her as much as possible. That’s why suddenly embracing her like this threw her off as she had no idea what to do or what was going to happen next. Or at least, she expected that our previous closeness was already in dangerous territory and it wouldn’t go past that.
