Could that sound in his ears really be his heart pounding in his chest? Was it honestly that loud?
Soft tapping sounds placated against the ground, shoulders brushing; fingers nearly touching--but nothing that would cause a scene. Hiro'omi knew better...being to blatant would scare her and any chances of her sweetening up towards him would end in vain. How could he not be jazzed about something such as this? To others it may seem mildly silly to get worked up over a simple request, but in his experience this seemed as if it would only happen once if he didn't jump the gun...
So he would take this chance and run with it, even if it was only buying a damned candied apple. It was something his precious sister wanted, and if there was one motto he lived by it was 'What Mitsuki wants, Mitsuki will receive'. Especially if it's asked of him in particular.
"Is there anything else you would like to have, Imouto? Don't be shy, let big brother spoil you a bit." Not the best way to word it, could be seen as 'creepy'; but by this point wouldn't it be expected for him to slip up just a tinsy bit? The Xenor thought so.Ā
