//Misaki 

I trust Tora now but I still panicked a little when I saw him sleeping beside me. 

How… oh. I pulled him in. 

"I know,"  I held his hand and kissed it. "Thank you." 

Then I think I fell back to sleep.

My hands are still grasping his tightly. I lay back down and watch him. 

We've come so far. From when he tried to harass me to now. Damn, we really have come so far. 

I think back to all our memories and without even knowing, I just found myself hugging him. 

"Thank you, Tora." 

"I know," he said, then kissed my hand. "I love you." 

He's smiling but his eyes look a bit too sad, it caused a pang in my chest. His hold on my hand gets a little tighter.

"What should I do, Misaki? Do I stop acting like my hands are tied and try to shake your heart?" 

He placed my hand he's holding on his chest and I feel it beating a little too fast than normal. 

I don't know. I really don't know but I can feel my heart beating faster, too. I try to speak but I just can't form any words.

What do I want?

I sensed him inching closer. I can push him but I can't seem to muster any strength to do so. 

He's so close, I can feel his warmth. Then I felt his lips on my cheek. On my eyelid. On my forehead. Down my nose. 

I didn't even know I closed my eyes until I opened them. I saw him sitting beside me, looking at me as if waiting for an answer. Waiting for my approval or rejection.

When I didn't show any response, he smiled a little and nodded. He tried to stand and get away but I reflexively pulled on his hand.
