Nicole looked a little nervous, wondering if Kairos was at all mad because of her strange actions. She found that his emotions could be quite hard to read at times, considering that his facial muscles hardly respond to what he felt.
After a second of hesitation, she gingerly retracted the hands that were holding onto his chest. From how Nicole looked, she was clearly quite reluctant, and also looked like she could suddenly reach out at any moment.
Kairos smiled bitterly when he saw this.
There was a part of him that wanted to reprimand her, but he just couldn't bring himself to do so. Instead, he gently brought Nicole into an embrace, like she was incomparably fragile.
Nicole's eyes widened when he did that. For a few seconds, she didn't even really understand what was going on. Because this was the first time she felt that Kairos hugged her because he actually wanted to.
Though, he did end up pulling back soon after.
There was a small smile on his face as he looked at her.
