Heart's Connected

"You're really weird sometimes, junior…" Alice muttered, crossing her arms as she gave me a half-lidded stare.

I tilted my head slightly. "Why am I weird?"

"Well, normal people don't just suddenly caress someone's belly, right?"

I sighed, rubbing the back of my head. "I told you, that was just a bit of intrusive thoughts leaking out…"

"Heh~" Alice smirked, her golden eyes narrowing with playful amusement. "So you wanted to touch my belly that much~?"

"Pretty much."

For a moment, there was silence. Then—

Smack!

A small red card came flying straight at my face, bouncing off my forehead before landing on the white road.

"At least try to deny it, stupid perv!" Alice huffed, her entire face flushed a deep shade of red. Even her ears were burning.

She was recalling what had happened earlier this morning.

And honestly? She had every right to be embarrassed—maybe even a little pissed.
