“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;”
“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;”
It was Hakua’s turn.
“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;”
“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;”
Sitting still, we stared at each other silently for almost a minute.
Hakua who stared at me with her usual blank face raised her head.
“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Boyfriend?”
“Yep.”
“Lover?”
“Yup.”
“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;”
Hakua stretched her hand through the pseudo-frame as she touched my head.
“Oh&h.e.l.lip;”
Her small hands lightly played with my hair.
And then she took a biscuit out of the box as she pa.s.sed it to me.
“Thanks.”
I stretched out my hand to receive it
But she retracted her hand.
“？”
I stretched out my hand to take it again.
But she retracted her hand again.
Her hands darted inside the pseudo-frame as she neared my face.
Is it that&h.e.l.lip;.
“Do you want to feed it to me?”
She nodded.
This is the usual way of conversing between us.
Huh&h.e.l.lip;If Hakua did or said something like “Ahh~Open your mouth~”, even though that happens only between lovers, it only gave me the warm feeling of playing with a child.
“Okay&h.e.l.lip;Ahhh”
I bit the iced biscuit with a crunching sound.
Still, it’s a little awkward though.
I ate the whole biscuit from her hand.
“Delicious?”
“Yep, it tastes good.”
“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;”
Hakua’s eyes were instantly covered with a mist-like expression that showed satisfaction.
When I’m with her, I feel calm like on those cold winter days where your body feels warm.
I suddenly felt a slight commotion behind me and I turned back to check.
Aika and Reiko were staring at Hakua with their mouths agape as they made sounds like “Uuuu&h.e.l.lip;” (TLN: Onomatopoeia someone makes when he/she feels unhappy/ unfair. Not really sure, 唔唔唔)
On the other hand, Karen was staring with her mouth open as if she was waiting for a kiss.
Suddenly, Hakua stretched her hands out to hold the pseudo-frame of the 3DS that I was holding the whole time.
“What’s wrong?”
“Hindrance”
“This thing was made by you, you know!?”
