Her heart raced as she looked into his eyes, wondering why he was so quiet all of a sudden. The silence between them felt almost unbearable, making her even more self-conscious about how aroused she knew he must be. With a shaky breath, she reached out and placed her hand on top of his, hoping that maybe it would help break the tension. "Um... I-is everything okay?" she stammered, biting her lower lip nervously.

Hikari's heart raced as she felt his hand beneath hers, warm and steady. His arousal was becoming more obvious by the moment, but she didn't want to make things any more awkward than they already were. "I-if you're sure..." she stammered softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "We could... talk about something else if you want," she offered, hoping that maybe changing the subject would help ease the tension between them.
