“I will not run out of guidance because we don’t do it just once. If that were the case, I would have turned into a rogue Esper in the past after strictly eating what the inhibitors gave me.”
“I’ll guide you then.”
“Kiss me now.”
Because of Cassian, Yernia kept mistaking ‘guidance’ for kissing, and it felt like he was doing this on purpose.
Now, it felt like they were kissing because they liked each other even if the truth was… she was only trying to suppress his powers.
“I have to plant some flowers. If you aren’t satisfied with just holding hands, then let’s not do it.”
“How about a hug?” He asked sulkily.
Yernia found it cute, but she erased that thought out of her mind.
Who was cute?
Cassian?
The man was stubborn.
“You don’t know much about guiding.”
“As a guide, I know better than you.”
Yernia realized it wasn’t true.
She was unaware that guidance would become stronger with more physical contact than holding hands until Cassian told her about it.
“Really? Prove it to me.”
Yernia decided to ignore Cassian by pushing him away and turning her back on him.
She didn’t want to listen to him anymore.
Still, Cassian followed as he told her that he was about to die and would collapse.
Ignore.
She must ignore him and keep walking forward.
Cassian didn’t follow her at once, and she headed to the garden with a light heart.
She watered the flowers and pulled out the withered ones.
Then, Yernia’s movements slowed as she shoveled the soil to plant new seeds.
Something bothered her greatly.
“What if he lost control?”
She knew it wouldn’t happen because she guided him this morning, but she couldn’t help but be worried.
In the end, Yernia went back.
“Are you here to guide me?”
Cassian was standing there when Yernia strode towards him and wrapped him in a hug but the difference between their physiques made it look like he was hugging her.
Cassian felt a bit stiff as he hugged Yernia.
This time, Yernia’s arms around his waist flinched.
“Don’t hold yourself back. I’ll just keep hugging you.”
“Then where do I put my arms around?”
“Just focus on guiding me.”
It felt strange because she hadn’t thought of hugging him before to guide.
At the moment, neither Cassian nor Yernia could do anything except focus on each other.
Whether holding hands or hugging each other, these intimate physical contacts felt dangerous to Yernia.
“When will we have our child?”
“What?”
“Why are you so surprised? I just said it because you looked so flustered.”
