That's it...
She should just turn around, run outside and jump off now.
In all honesty, she couldn't even believe herself saying that even if it was for the best.
Right now she wished she could just tear this stupid „knotted" dress with her bare hands and arms to get rid of it herself and avoiding this very awkward moment.
She caught Yugo with wide open eyes.
Oh god like this it seems she was suggesting something kinda...
Abashed she stood up quickly bit her teeth together before inhaling some new air.
„No! Don't get me wrong!- It- It's really hard to unravel from behind!... And I can't reach the spot myself.. at the castle they helped me to dress this for today.."
She could see him blush lightly again but he remained calm.
Her agitating made her face and hair start to fluff up, she was meeting her limits so she broke the eye contact.
She slowly got on her knees again but turned to the side to avoid facing him, while still holding on to her dress ends.
Her shoulders jumped when he crawled behind her.
Yugo looked dreary at the bindings. He tied the blanket he used to wrap himself with around his hips to move his arms more freely as he sunk in thoughts.
It started again.. he shouldn't feel excited about this not just for her embarrassed sake but also cause it would contradict his plans for avoiding any romantic scenarios. With that idea engraved in his mind, he started to analyze the odd riddle in front. Amalia tried to look back a bit.
„.. Can you undo it?"
He looks at the very many small threads lying very close and crosswise together and nearly completely covering her skin.
„ Eh... um.. I don't know i can't even find the ending from this... Is there even one?"
His hand hovered over the bindings unsure whether to touch her or not. Flustered she looked over to the wall in front of her right on top of the cabinet and concentrated her mind and eyes on the wood structure.. it could be anything at this point just to make her forget the current strangling atmosphere.
„ What?... There has to be one.. maybe hidden under the other lines? Going from the professional work they did, i wouldn't be surprised.."
„Under.. the.. others? And.. where?"
Being totally unfamiliar with high-grade or rather.. complicated dresses she couldn't blame him.
„I think they ended it somewhere... -down.."
She paused her words for a bit as her mind alarmed her of her lower sensitive spot on her back
„So.. down.."
He mumbled reaching for it. Does he really need to put his hands between her corset threads and her skin? He knew he was thinking too much of it again.
„Ok- Don't startle now i will try to look for the ending..." Trying to calm her and himself but he couldn't help being interested, tensing his closed mouth line and holding his breath despite. He moved a hand under the little opening between the threads above and the dress fabric below.
She squinted her eyes bracing herself till a shudder meddled in as soon as her senses registered the foreign contact.
She never thought this would feel that different compared to the time when her servants needed to touch her.
She gasped in a timidly tone her still stiff torso trying to back away. She didn't mean for that to slip, vexed her eyes started to well up a bit.
Yugo won't feel for her anymore... yet she is like this.
„Sorry!... I will try to find it quickly!.." he barely whispered with increasing redness on his face though compared to him her face might explode from it.
She clenched her teeth again.
„No don't! That would be just more awkward!.."
Troubled he looked up to her, it was her fathers funeral today yet right now he could do nothing but make her feel uncomfortable.
Carefully he turned his hand to scan the rows from the opposite side searching for the odd one out between them, though due to their sliminess and the amount, it took longer than he thought.
She endured the intruding a bit more but couldn't control some shaking when his palm shifted over her skin. She hoped he wouldn't notice them from between the constant body trembling caused by the cold air.
„It's cold.." she mumbled to herself as the minutes passed by, the warm motion on her back reminded her how much she really longed for the freezing to stop.
„ Oh?... I got it!" He smiled with a sweat drop running down his face. He expected her to answer but she didn't.
„So.. this thread is going there... and... from there it's leading there.. i think i might be able to remove it.."
Still no response.
„Amalia?"
„Yes.. sorry.."
„ It's been really long already you are not starting to feel feverish are you?..."
She held her forehead getting heavier.
„ I'm fine..."
After releasing the last taut thread the bindings finally untangled causing it to loosen up and exposing her back more slowly, making the just relaxed boy tense again.
„ A!-Amalia! I think you should catch the front!"
He tried using his hands to cover his eyes for her in time but ended up just covering them halfways, while the dress slid down, stopping on her hips halfways.
He held his breath as his eyes were enchanted by this unbelievable terrific sight of her blank back slowly alluring him. He particularly fixated on her shoulders. Charmed by the beautiful contrast of her green loose hair on her brown skin. It lies shorter compared to length in the past but retained the same fuzz and now it visibly enveloped around her neck down right above her scapulas.
The undiscovered bare skin of a person you love must be very fascinating.. if it's already all it takes to make him unable to tear himself away.
Though.. wait... it wasn't like this before... it's only since some time that he behaves or thinks like this...
Unexpected a brazen hand rose on her bare hip softly stroking it.
Apparently, she was somewhat muzzy from an early fever to react in time including now.
The grip fastened on her side to pull her close, waking her senses.
„Yugo?!.."
She felt his lips pushing her spine.
Jolted she tried to catch her breath, her arms quickly swung around her upper body.
Yugos left hand started to join his other, both slid gently across her stomach and upwards experiencing her smooth softness.
Her torso stretched in an attempt to escape his advancing fondling, it felt as if he was messing with each of her nerves and leaving them in ember.
Overthrown she couldn't fight off the bliss he was putting her through she wondered what has gotten into him, being distant all the while just to give her a heart attack in the middle of nowhere.
„Yu!-..ah.." she moaned, just before he decided to stop on the level of her thorax. Halting the kiss, she received a breath, most likely a dazed sigh.
Her voice kept echoing in his ears so he scooted closer till his chest pressed against her stirred shape. He closed his short but long enough arms around to embrace her, resting his head against her. It unshackled. His mind only filled with expressing his deep feelings and his compassion for her suffering her fathers death which he could do nothing against.
With overlaying warmth he unconsciously mends the chills she was under. For just another minute this comforting nearness lasted till both pulled away.
Both surprised the other did too.
