"What's this?"

I ask, picking up the small slip of paper you passed over to me.

"It's a sticker."

A sticker.

A sticker of a tiger.

"Why?"

"Cause it looks like you."

"Really? How?"

I ask again, holding it in my hands as I face you.

"Your hair is orange. And your eyes match a tiger's eyes as well.. I think."

You answer, looking back at me.

Your eyes are staring into mine.

"You think?"

I question, getting closer to you.

"Why not have a closer look to see if, you're sure?"

I begin to tease, getting closer to your face with a smirk plastered on mine.

You let out a soft hum. Which meant you were thinking.

I watch your eyes travel to my hair, my eyes, then look at the other features on my face.

You're looking at me with curiosity in your eyes.

I like the attention from you.

"Mhm. You definitely look like a tiger."

I move away from you, looking back at the sticker you gave me.

"If you dyed a few strands of your hair black, then that'll fit too."

"You really think I should?"

"If you want to."

"You think I'll look good with black hair?"

"Hmm. Sure."

"Then, when we graduate college, I'll dye my hair. Just as you requested."

"Only a few strands! Not all of it."

"Got it."
