Ran couldn’t deny that he was attractive and she’d actually enjoyed kissing him. She peered up at him with eyes curious to know if he felt the same. Yes, he’d admitted she had nothing to be sorry about, but she wasn’t sure if he was just easing her fears or if he’d felt something as well. Another blush crept into her cheeks, tinting them even darker red. “I’m just glad you didn’t push me away.” She managed to whisper.
Hakuba laughed, letting the sound roll softly from his throat. She was so cute. “I can’t imagine how I could possibly push such a lovely young lady away. Honestly, I think your forwardness is quite charming.” And it was, but specifically because, as far as he was aware, it wasn’t something that she normally did.
Fighting the strange fear that someone might attack him at any moment for paying the girl this sort of attention, the foreign detective lifted a hand to oh-so-gently brush a lock of hair from Ran’s face, tucking it back behind her ear.
“Thank you."
