"There's no need to fear others laughing at you like this. There are quite a few people coming to Snow Peak to enjoy the view at noon." Uesugi Sakura partially held the slender waist of the young woman in his arms and glanced around at the travelers on the mountaintop who hadn't noticed them.
"So... doesn't Sakura like Hanabi resting in your arms like this?"
Hanamaru Hanabi placed her small, delicate hands on his shoulders, her eyes gentle and her face slightly tilted up, speaking softly as sweet words seemed to linger around his ears.
To say he didn't like it would be a lie.
Whether the girl's entire body or just her willow waist, holding her was like embracing something soft and boneless.
Her gentle snuggling made even the winter snow feel warm.
"Why suddenly so clingy to me?"
"Because I hate you, Sakura."
"Hate?"
"Because I hate it... you didn't pick up Hanabi's calls! Over twenty calls, you didn't answer a single one!"
