I was partially aware of her presence, looking over my shoulders. My analysis kept on failing, I was getting frustrated. Then, she sat down next to me on that bench.
I've been forced to work outside that day. 'You could use some natural light, Koushiro' Jou said 'And some sleep and a bath, too'. I conceded on the first, there was no time for the latters.
As I was saying, I was partially aware of her. I kept on working on the analysis, my concentration capacity running around 70%. Then she laid her head on my left shoulder.
Concentration capacity at 50%.
I was about to yell at her, make her understand that I needed to be focused on the work, time was running out. But she didn't move or said a word. She had only laid her head softly on me. I tried to run the analysis one more time, with different variables. It didn't fail! She gasped.
My left arm moved uncontrollably towards her.
Concentration capacity at 30%.
I grabbed her waist. I didn't smile at her. I kept my tired face and my always-focused look. I didn't look at her, and she didn't look at me. My eyes, underlined by several dark circles, were shutted. I didn't even thought about what I was doing and how that could negatively affect everything from that point on. I let myself go on that moment. Something I wanted to do for a long time. All I could feel was my face burning and hers burning below mine.
Concentration capacity at 0%.
I kissed her lightly. Then I parted from her and gathered the courage I needed to face her. She didn't move, neither pushed or beated me. I looked at her. She smiled. I smiled back. She silently pointed at my computer.
Concentration capacity at 99.9%.
My analysis had finished and the results were now displayed on the screen. And again she laid her head on my shoulder. I resumed my work, diving into the results in front of me.
Of all things I could use in order to make advances in the analysis, turns out Mimi was the one thing I really needed.
