soooooooooo........

they sat together on the bench, drinking the water they had brought.

he watched her adam's apple bob as she drank.

he looked away as she set her bottle down and took his to set it down too.

"but i haven't drank yet", he said, a bit breathless and he watched her nod and shuffle closer.

"i know, just..", she mumbled and hugged him.

oh.

he slid his hands around her too, a smile pulling it's way onto his face and he laughed.
god, it was so hot. his face had been burning from the moment he left his house, he had been burning from the moment he had left his house. it was a hundred times worse when he was with her.

he wasn't complaining at all, he just prayed she didn't mind how sweaty he already was.

he breathed into her shoulder and,

he always felt too aware of his own breathing when with her. her breathing too. it always sounded irregular. or.. flustered ?

she smelled nice.

in this heat too ?

"uh, hah, you just looked sort of ...huggable", she said suddenly, his senses focusing on the way her fingers trailed his back. it burned.

"oh", was all he managed.

how long had she been thinking about that ?

about, oh, what if she had been thinking about how to ask him for a hug ?

what if, what if she thought how, oh, he looks so pretty right now.

what if she had been thinking about him ?

he choked for a second and let out a cough, or two, suprised at his own thoughts.

she let him go, her eyes wide, staring at him,

"i'm okay, i'm okay", he said and took a breath, "just choked for a second there"

"sorry if i squeezed too tight", she said, her fingers moving subconsciously to scratch at her shorts. her eyes were glued to his and the only way she could describe the way his face looked right now was, raw.

his cheeks were flushed, his whole face was flushed red. his hair was sticking to his forehead and he repeatedly pushed it out of his face in a clumsy way, his lips looked more rosy as if he had been biting them out of nervousness and, his eyes were kind of a contrast against the redness of his face. a beam of sweat rolled down his temple and he hastily wiped it with his arm and coughed one last time.
she felt like she was the only one who got to see this side of him and, her heart swelled.

hah.

she looked away.

"it's okay really, you weren't hugging too tight", he said and looked at her again, his arms spreading in a shy manner and she swore his face somehow got redder than before. "..come back", he murmured and his gaze switched to the grass below them, burning holes through it.

yeah, it was boiling hot outside, but he would never refuse a hug from her.

she let out a hum and came closer again, her arms embracing him more tenderly this time. his arms wrapped around her lower back and he put his chin on top of her shoulder, staring at the trees behind her. the amount of different shades of green that blurred together made him feel giddy. there were so many leaves and sun rays shone through them, making them a brighter green and he laughed.

she let out another hum and buried her nose in his neck, stopping whatever sound that threatened to escape her throat.

he laughed again and his arms squeezed tighter and she felt his bony elbows against her sides. his clothes felt damp on her hands and she realized, he had been sweating a lot.

we should find somewhere cooler to go, she thought, because, it must be uncomfortable for him. and that was the last thing she wanted.

she held him close with one arm and her other traced his lower back, fiddling with the hem of his shirt.

"i suddenly feel really tired", he mumbled, and she backed away a bit. his eyes were droopy.

"you okay ?", she asked.

but,

he hadn't heard her question because his mind was already full of scenarios, and all he could think about was being with her, resting in a room with air conditioning or, sleeping, while they held hands and with their legs interwined or, maybe, what if they hugged while resting or, if one of them spooned the other ? or, or, if one of them laid on top of the other, just, just listening to their heartbeat and resting ?

he ached to feel her chest rise and fall beneath his head, to feel, to hear her heartbeat.

she pulled back further to look at him.

"i'm fine, sorry, just got distracted for a second there", he laughed, a bit dry.

i need to stop thinking about this.

he got up from the bench, his clammy palms landing on his hips. his shirt was damp with sweat. had she noticed ?

god.

"let's go", he said, avoiding her eyes. he picked up his water bottle and downed half of it, feeling nervous about her gaze never leaving him.

"yeah", she nodded and got up too. "though, we can go somewhere to rest if you want to ? you don't need to strain yourself just to walk around in this heat", she added, taking his hand into hers, because it didn't seem like he would listen otherwise.

he pondered over it for a second, staring at their hands.

"well, uh, did you want to go somewhere ?", he asked, keeping his head down.

"not really, i'm fine wherever. i just wanted to be with you", she said, trying to keep her voice casual, but it still came out shaky.

he laughed awkwardly again, because what was he even supposed to do ?

he nodded.

his mouth was dry.

"okay then", he said, tugging her by the hand, "ice cream ?", he suggested and she smiled, and nodded a couple times.

right.

as long as i'm with her, it's not important what we do.
