That might be true. [She pretended to think about it for a moment, a faint smile lingering until it was replaced by curiosity when she found her gaze once again meeting his. Just as it had on the evening of the Starlight celebration, the gesture rendered Tear utterly compliant and unable to quell the faint pink tones on her cheeks.
Though before she could do as he asked, there was something she wanted to say. Her voice may have been quiet in its delivery, but no less sincere than if she were to have shouted it for the world to hear. ]
However, there isn't anyone else I trust as much.
[ Thus she allowed her eyelids to fall shut just as he requested, and though they trembled when his fingers ghosted over her cheek she nonetheless kept them closed, breathing out gently to try and calm the sudden surge of nervousness. It was as if she already knew what he planned to do subconsciously, therefore there was absolutely no reason to be so apprehensive.
Yet a soft, just barely audible sound of surprise is caught in her throat the instant she recognised the pressure against her lips, nearly forcing her eyes open. Fighting the urge to do so until he pulled away, she couldn't even bring herself to respond immediately once he did—out of all the ideas that had popped into her head, the only one she could actually perform was to just stare at him, completely awestruck.
And she stayed like that for several moments, until it occurred to her that she had yet to breathe since before that small, simple gesture—so she does in the form of a breathy half-laugh, her shaky hands reaching up to place themselves over his own before she closed her eyes again to revel in the answer he had just bestowed upon her. ]
Is this... what you're going to do to focus from now on? [ She wasn't expecting a serious answer to the mild teasing, yet she still took the effort to stroke his hand with her thumb as she leaned more into it, the memory of the touch of his lips holding strong. ]
