(From Blue's Perspective)
My knees were trembling after only five minutes of walking. I felt like I would not be able to walk anymore. But I did not tell him that. I did not want to look weak. I knew I could do it.
But he stopped suddenly and looked down directly at my legs. I did not even wince in pain, but he seemed to see through me.
"Do your legs hurt?" he asked.
"Just a bit. Not so much. I can manage," I said.
"Hold onto me."
"Wha..."
Before I knew what he meant, he picked me up in his arms in bridal style. No one had ever held me like this, not in this way. I blushed and was surprised as well.
"I can walk," I murmured.
"Just relax," he said.
He started walking again. He was carrying me so easily that it looked like I was weightless. It was true that I was very slender, but the way he picked me up, was completely effortless.
