Despite the heavy downpour, Koizumi still retained that annoying smile of his.
What was there to smile about? We were lost, soaking wet, and to top it off, the soil had been transformed into sticky mud from the rain.
I could really go for a hot bath right about now…
"Well, this is quite an interesting development."
Damn Koizumi… Did anything ever break that calm demeanour of his?
"Yeah, real interesting…" I don't even like camping. As you can expect, it was another one of Haruhi's crazy ideas to look for something supernatural. She could've at least picked a weekend with a better weather forecast…
I give up; we're never going to find our way out of this place. I decided to sit on a fallen log, and as I knew it would be, it was dreadfully uncomfortable.
Great… now he's sitting next to me. Why couldn't I have gotten lost with the sweet miss Asahina or even shy little Nagato? Although I suppose it could be worse… I could be sitting with Haruhi instead - something I really don't have the patience or energy for right now.
He pulled out a chocolate bar from his pocket. "Are you hungry?" I hadn't eaten for hours - of course I was hungry. "Y-yeah, thanks" I eagerly took it as he held it out for me; that smile seemed less annoying now.
I say less, it still bothered me… especially with him looking at me like that.
"Don't you want it?" I felt I should make sure, wouldn't want to look completely selfish or anything. He gently shook his head in response, his brown hair sticking to his handsome face from the wet. With that out of the way, I freed the bar from its wrapper and enjoyed its sweet taste.
I unconsciously glanced over at him; I guess it was the feeling of being watched, because he was looking right at me. Koizumi smiled and with his thumb, rubbed the side of my mouth. "H-hey!" I flinched out of his reach. Why did he always have to invade my personal space?
"My apologies, you had some chocolate on your face." There's that smile again… Annoying jerk, as if this current moment couldn't feel anymore awkward.
Suddenly his face was directly in front of mine, and I found myself staring in confusion. Then, I felt satisfying warmth on either side of my face. Tingles went through my body as my cheeks adjusted to this new temperature.
"Your face is so cold."
That's when I realised the warmth was coming from his hands. Of course it was his hands... Wait, what was he doing?
Damn Koizumi and those soft, warm hands of his… As much as I hate to admit this, it was nice to have that warmth against my face in this cold weather, but he was invading my personal space yet again and I found myself conflicted.
Do I move out of his warm embrace, indicating that his invasion was unwelcome?
Or do I let myself silently enjoy it…
Did I suggest that I might be enjoying this?
Of course not, that's ridiculous. I'm just taking advantage of the only other heat source in this bloody forest.
