"Are you serious? Nothing at all?"

"Nope~!"

Rin grins triumphantly, while Len looks disappointed. "How come it didn't work?" He demands. "Normal people get goosebumps if they get scared!"

"Guess I'm not normal!" Rin says happily. "I'm not that easily afraid anyway. Plus, you're really bad at scaring people."

"Hey!" Len frowns. "I've tried everything I can think of…"

Rin just shrugs. "Sorry, Len. You just can't get me to have goosebumps!" She laughs. "Now, can I drink my hot cocoa in peace?" She asks him, glancing at the cooling mugs on the table.

Len grumbles a 'fine' under his breath, reaching for the mug closest.

As he turns to give it to her, the cup hits her hands accidentally as she's about to take it.

"Whoa!" They say in unison, and the two manage to steady to cup without chocolatey liquid spilling everywhere.

For a moment, Rin and Len's hands are entwined over the ceramic. His eyes meet hers, and then slide down in surprise. His mouth opens.

"Y… You have… goosebumps… on your arms..."

"So do you…" She mutters.

At the exact time they both realize why the other has the telltale bumps, both faces go very red.
