Hard Situation

Why does he suddenly look so nervous?

Blinking my eyes for a couple of seconds, something dawned in me, /"Atlas?/" I mumbled and I felt his breath hitched, /"Did you just blush?/"

He huffed, but he never met my gaze. He continued to look at everywhere but me. /"Blush?/" At this point, he was blushing more, /"What nonsense! I don't even like you./"

Oh.

Oh? Why did I sound so disappointed?

I shrugged my shoulders, /"I know./"

No one spoke for a few moments. It was utter silence. There was nothing but me on his lap and his arms around me. It was a comfortable position, even if it seemed like it doesn't. I didn't dare move, because Atlas isn't moving either. We're both stoned into place. And whoever will make the mistake to move a muscle would seem to break our solitude.

And I don't want to break it. I actually feel like staying in this position for a long time.
