[Just looks at her, letting out a sigh, but oddly enough for him, that look lingers in silence far longer than it normally should.]

[kind of deflates a bit]

I don't really mind it.

Ah…sorry, sorry. My thoughts wandered a little.

[Leans in to give her a forehead kiss.]

Where did they wander?

….

[He stops walking and turns to face her, an unfamiliar expression on his face. He reaches to trace his fingers alongside the sides of her face. He goes under her cheeks and also runs his thumb across her lips and then along the sides of her eyes.

And then he lets go.]

[oh

she holds still until he lets go, then looks away with a blush]

[He grabs her hand again and starts to walk again.]

…I apologize.

...For what? You didn't do anything wrong.

…for acting so strange, I suppose.

It's been a strange day.

I suppose it has been a strange day.

[He sighs a little, but gripping her hand tighter, he continues to walk silently, keeping himself close to her figure.]

[staying very close to him too, eventually leaning her head against his shoulder]

...

[Kuroro seems content with this. Even if the atmosphere is somber, there is something weirdly genuinely lingering in the air.]

[it's weird but it's nice. not talking is nice because it means she doesn't have to talk about the absolutely ludicrous amount of feelings she's had in the last 24 hours. maybe she can pretend she'll never have to acknowledge the feelings.]

[We can just never acknowledge there were ever feelings. He lets go of her hand and instead, he wraps an arm around her shoulders.]

[nice she's just going to cling to him. no feelings here.]

[After enough silence passes by, Kuroro finally speaks up.]

It's strange. For some reason, I still feel like I need to apologize to you, but I don't know why.

...Do you feel like you should have prevented our deaths even though it was impossible?

...Was it really impossible?

...Theoretically you could have spent some 300 pearls to protect us, I suppose.

Do you wish you had?

[If you watch long enough, something strange happens. He pauses in thought and then:

the very tips of his ears turn pink.]

...maybe I did. It's hard to say.

[takes out her phone and snaps a picture]

[instinctively tries to snatch the phone]

[she can't get away fast enough, so congrats on snatching it]

-Hey!
