"Have you calmed down?" Erwin asked, kneeling on one knee, smiling softly at her.
Laura nodded her head and sniffled as her eyes gazed away from Erwin's eyes. She didn't hate the fact someone was by her side to comfort her. It was like half of the burdens went to him. But it was quite embarrassing to cry in front of Erwin.
"What's wrong?" Erwin asked, still kneeling on one knee, looking at Laura from below.
Still, in embarrassment, Laura didn't answer and drew her face away from him. Her eyes were red and puffy, and she had a runny nose—a perfect match to embarrass herself.
"What... don't tell me you're embarrassed about crying in front of me," Erwin paused, blinking twice and slightly smiled.
Laura pushed Erwin's shoulder softly, making him fall onto his butt. The more Erwin provoked her, the more she got annoyed with him. Well, at least that makes them both equal now.
