Sumire tried to break free of his hold, but he would not let her go. "You're still as stubborn as you were back then."
"That's uncalled for Yuhi-san." She seemed troubled by his words. "I just don't want you to get hurt."
"And I like seeing your smile when you're by my side. Both of us are fighting to protect our desires."
Her cheeks colored slightly, and she looked down at the ground. "Isn't that sly of you?"
"What are you talking about, dear? These are my honest feelings."
"You're so…"
Yuhi cupped her cheeks. "I'll calm you down. So relax, yeah, Sumire?"
His thoughts broke off when she wrapped her arms around his neck and mumbled. "What are we doing?"
"Whatever you like."
This is not the best coping method, and he advised against it last time. But right now, if he were to leave her alone after this conversation, she will most likely do something reckless.
