Mortal World 25

It took a while before Lia could calm down and now Yano sat next to her on the bed and put her head on his chest. She still didn't want to admit nor could, so she involuntarily pushed him away.

He laughed and rubbed her hair, "Come on, don't pretend. The second you saw me, you came crashing onto me, are we just ignoring that?"

"Yes," Lia straightened her appearance but looked at Yano hesitatingly. She was afraid of the answer but she desperately needed to know, "Yano-"

"Yes?" Yano's eyes lit up as he heard her saying his name. He loved it whenever his name softly came from her lips as if through that he could confirm what he meant to her.

"Say it a few times more."

"Be quiet."

"Ok, ok, I'm sorry," Yano reached out to pat her but she pushed him away. She felt even more embarrassed now.
