"How are you going to spend the new year?" Mizuki asks, prancing into the room. Hinata has been using Brandon's bedroom as his miniature study for a while, claiming that it's quieter and easier to organise with the shelves he has at his disposal and desks.
With Emilia's recent habit of disturbing him when he's studying to get on his nerves, he's had to find various ways to get his peace and quiet so he can continue with his reading.
Mizuki would argue that he doesn't need to have his nose in a book all the time when she's been learning quickly as well, and any mystery they have could easily be solved with each other.
Hinata turns his head back as Mizuki wraps her arms around his broad shoulders, chin pressed against a crevice of his neck.
