After having a leisurely meal, the two of us were standing in the kitchen and cleaning up the dishes. Suddenly, Blake grabbed my wrist. Startled by this touch, I looked back. Blake's gaze was firmly fixed on my eyes. Confused by his gaze, I tilted my head slightly.
"Tomorrow I have to go back early in the morning. Can I stay by your side?"
"... Huh?"
Blake slowly raised my hand and kissed my fingertips. His gaze didn't shift at all and was looking straight at me. His eyes made my heart beat rapidly. My thought was easily seen through by him again. My willful thought of wanting him to stay by my side was easily recognized by him. Blake embraced my heart.
I lowered my head in embarrassment and nodded gently. Then a gentle kiss was placed on my forehead.
"We haven't slept together for a long time."
"Um, yes."
