Chapter 32: The Forbidden Kiss ( 32 )
"Haruki~" Kyouko raised an eyebrow, trying to sound casual as her eyes betrayed her,glancing down and quickly back up.
"You should at least wash your face or take a shower first."
"Hmmm? Oh... I was just thirsty," he mumbled.
She stood up, grabbing a glass and filling it with water.
"Here," she said softly, handing it to him.
"Ah, thank you, Kyouko-san."
Haruki tilted the glass back, drinking slowly. Kyouko tried not to stare, but the way he stood there, the rise and fall of his chest, the way his messy hair framed his face,it was as if he didn't even realize how good he looked.
"And what's with the short pants?" she asked, folding her arms.
"You really slept like that? What if you catch a cold?"
Haruki finished his drink, lowering the glass with a smile. "I'm used to it."
He leaned against the counter, the morning light hitting him just right, his pose unintentionally model-like,one arm resting on the counter, his lean body relaxed but defined.
