“W-Well I thought…seeing on how I confessed…maybe I should start showing it…just so you know..” Damnit, why did she question him like that?

She squinted, as if she was trying to find another truth to those words.

❝ Forcing yourself to be affectionate shows the opposite meaning... ❞

The fact that it was so unlike him and felt almost forced just made it worse... Was her disbelief earlier some sort of trigger for him to want to change?

Fingers:Friendship/amicable

Knee:“Don’t worry, I’m here for you.”

Cheek:“I want to tell you I love you.”/Deep affection/Devotion

Letting out a small ‘ow’ at the fact she poked his cheek, he thought on these random touches she did, then had a flashback of his mother…teaching him all of the different signs of people wanting to say things.

Lets see…Fingers…friends? well yeah, since childhood…..Knee…She’ll be here for me, whatever for? I don’t understand her sometimes…and cheek… Oh…Oh.

Kaito went a bright red, a very bright red, he tried to clear it, but it stuck.

“I…I see…Aoko…”

Smirking a little at the sudden discolour of his cheeks, she lightly poked his nose.

❝ Kaito shouldn’t blush at Aoko like that. Kaito wouldn’t want people to think we’re dating! ❞

She poked her tongue out at him, making her famous ‘silly face’ at him before returning to her desk. Only recently had she learned about touches and what they could mean, so she was unaware that he knew what they meant too. Even if he was looking over her shoulder earlier.

A subtle confession, really. Even if she wasn’t sure herself if she actually felt that deeply for him. It was a form of deep affection, yes, but romantically?
