"Huh?"
"Do you care that much if my eyes are all swollen?" He whispered in a really low voice, his breath falling over her hands which had a hold on his, and soon, he got out of her hold, only to grab her both hands in between his. "Tell me."
"O-of course I would…" She had a hard time looking straight at him for longer, but his eyes changed so quickly into a more dreamy look that she didn't feel like looking away. "After all, it will burn and hurt a lot, and I wouldn't like to see you hurt… mmph!"
