Asters' Sadness and Andrius Comfort (3)

It was almost sunset, Loach and I were done playing, Andrius on the other hand was still sketching…

I was blushing furiously while I was thinking of what I should say to him.

"Andrius…!"

"Hm?"

"I…"

I turned away and went back to the room, I just said that I was going to have a bath...

I soaked inside the bathtub, thinking what I should do, but my mind is hazy with embarrassment.

"Won't he just think that, I am forcing myself?"

I said to myself, I am definitely not forcing myself, we are both clumsy because we don't know how to do this yet, especially me…

"If I am the one that approaches, telling him that, we should 'try again' will he think less of me?"

"Hisss"

I jump at the sudden contact of loach, it slithers from my arm to my neck.

"Loach, you scared me"
