@bellsplit ᴀsᴋᴇᴅ: help he's awkward & wants to kiss koyuki but hakuji has THE ANXIETY // unprompted
❝...!❞
She, too, is full of anxiety. Koyuki’s heart thrums against her ribcage as her much smaller hands hold his battle scarred ones. Focus is given to where they touch, her thumbs brushing over the raised lines of tendons and the dips between his knuckles. These are hands that she knows are capable of great violence... Her father has trained Hakuji for years, and as much as Keizo has tried to keep her from seeing so much violence, she is not a foolish girl.
Even so, she can’t help but feel warm at the sight of his hands. These hands that have cared for her for so long, these hands that carried her when she was weak, these hands that held her with such tenderness and care that she could never imagine him harming another creature.
And that is why she loves him.
Swallowing her nerves, Koyuki gives those hands a gentle squeeze before she lifts her head. Her face is pink, pink enough to match her eyes, she’s sure, but she smiles at him. Lifting herself onto her toes, Koyuki continues to hold his hands to close the distance between them with a gentle, chaste kiss.
