Violet POV: ~ ten years ago~

"Hurry, hurry, you two! Sit her down here!" Fuyumi exclaimed excitedly, impatiently gesturing for Natsuo and Touya to quicken the pace.

I kept my hands covering my eyes as I was strictly instructed to by Fuyumi-feeling a little nervous about trusting Touya to be my eyes for the temporary time being.

Let's just say....I won't be surprised if, instead of sitting wherever Fuyumi wants me to, I end up in the backyard pool, instead...

But, then again, I guess that's what Natsuo is for, right? To save me??

And even though both boys each had one hand resting atop my shoulders to lead me to whatever surprise awaited, I could only focus on Touya's hand above all else.

Sure, I didn't see which shoulder of mine he'd touched before closing my eyes. But, for some reason....I'm still able to know which one is him.

Natsuo's hand is soft. Incredibly soft, barely touching me.

Touya, however, has a firm grip on my shoulder-not a painful one, but one that lets me know he's here. There's something comforting about it. Something gentle, too. His hand is warm, able to close around the entire top of my shoulder as he carefully directed me through the Todoroki household.

I could feel his presence behind me. So incredibly close-and if that's not enough to get a thirteen year old girl excited and nervous around her crush, I dunno what is!

Ahhh, not that I have a crush on him. I'm just saying! What??

"I'm going as fast as I can," Touya groaned with a small huff of annoyance, before giving me a small push forward. "It's Grape who's got the slow feet. She sucks at everything, and now she even sucks at walking."

I could practically hear the teasing smile on his face.

My jaw dropped in mock offense to his words. Keeping my hands over my eyes obediently, I tried to turn my head back to face him, before I felt his other hand plop atop my forehead.

"Oh? Did I say you could turn around, dummy?" He questioned lightly, carefully forcing my direction forward once more before he directed us to continue walking.

"Well, it's not my fault I'm going so slow! How do I know you're not leading me into the ocean, or oncoming traffic, or something?!" I called out, causing a genuine snicker of amusement to erupt from Touya's throat at my accuracy of the statement, no doubt.

"Aw. Are you saying you don't trust me? Hey, careful how you answer-" he started off in a half hearted attempt to be intimidating, before I immediately cut him off.

"Ha! Of course I'm saying I don't trust you!!" I cackled, trying to turn around with my hands covering my eyes once more before Touya directed me forward again.

"Mmm........yeah, smart girl." He pointed out in humorous defeat, causing our laughter to mingle, as I felt him give my shoulder a small squeeze-

"Don't worry, Violet!!" The younger voice on my other side interrupted, causing me to jump slightly as I almost forgot he was there. "I'll make sure Touya doesn't throw you into the ocean."

"Kiss ass." Touya mumbled under his breath, causing the corners of my lips to turn up into an amused smile.

I heard Natsuo gasp in offense on my other side, before he practically yelled into my ear to ensure his brother would hear his next comment from a whole three feet away.
