I do like you
Minutes later, Fuyu settled down in my embrace. She didn't ask anything more and I also kept my mouth shut, waiting for her to sort out her thoughts.
She needed that the most after I dropped my backstory to her.
Although I also wanted to hear things about her, there's no rush in that. Regardless of what happened, I doubt I'd see her less after this day.
Anyway, since I had nothing else to do other than to wait, my hand just naturally moved back to brushing her hair.
I couldn't get enough of it and Fuyu found it comforting.
As time continued to pass, her hand would sometimes brush against my arm, warming it up. And then little by little, she grabbed my wrist, bringing my hand down to where she could see it. She then opened up my palm and placed her hand on top of it, filling in the gaps between my fingers.
Soon our fingers curled, locking our hands together. She glanced up and wrinkled her eyebrows as though she was telling me not to copy her.
