“Ow!” Manjoume would have added several more profanities to that, but he preferred to keep himself restrained around Tenjoin-kun. Nevertheless, he waved his hand around, a few drops of blood falling from where the thorn had pricked him. “It bites!”
“You should be more careful.” Asuka caught him by the wrist and he stopped moving at once, turning a brilliant share of red as she pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and dabbed at the injury. “Is that better?”
Oh, God, he was still blushing and she was going to look and see! He whipped around, tucking the injured finger out of sight, and did his best to calm down. “I’m fine.”
“Manjoume-kun.” Her voice was stern and reproachful. “Don’t lie to me.”
Was he ever going to stop blushing? Certainly not as long as she kept doing that! He still stared off into the distance, shoulders squared. Who had guessed that a visit to Fujiwara’s newly opened rose garden would lead to something like this?
Her hand landed on his shoulder and he squeaked out something that could’ve been her name or just a random squeak. He wasn’t sure if it mattered either. “You didn’t really answer me.”
His head turned as if it were on a string she controlled. “I’m fine, Tenjoin-kun.” If she saw him blush now, he didn’t know what he’d do. Or worse, what she might do.
All she did was smile at him, and warmth replaced all the fear. He couldn’t believe how beautiful her smile was. “All right. Let’s keep going, then.”
If only he could take her hand. He didn’t have that kind of daring, though. But they were so close it didn’t matter. His heart raced at her very existence beside him.
This had to be the best first date ever.
