"Karma... You should stop..." I hesitantly said as I looked at him, panting a bit while I clenched my hands.

"I can't..." Karma answered. "There's no going back now."

"But..." I pressed him on. "At this point... You should just put it back in!!" I exclaimed.

He groaned, "I can't! It's stuck now!"

"This is the farthest we got... So... Be gentle..."

"Yeah..."

Silence filled the air while Karma slowly pulled the long wooden piece with his fingers.

*Crash!!*

The wooden tower fell down after he pulled the piece out. "Argh!!" Karma said angrily.

I laughed, "At that point, we were just working together." I looked at the now scattered wooden pieces on his table, sighing. "The tower became really tall this time!"

"There was no other option! That was the safest one to pull out!" He looked at the wooden piece he was holding. "That was kinda frustrating."

I smiled, "But it is fun, I gotta admit."

"Yeah, it is." He replied, putting the wooden piece down. "But why did my mom recommend this out of all the games we could play?"

"Well, at any rate, we should clean up now." I began picking up the pieces and rebuilding the tower.

After we rebuilt it, we carefully put it back in its box.

We sat on the bed and drank milk.

"So what should we do now?" Karma said as he sipped his strawberry milk.

I drank my vanilla milk too and said, "I don't know. Up to you."

After a moment of wondering what we should do, Karma suddenly put his hand into a fist and put it into his other hand. "I know! Let's play a game!"

I smiled, "What game?"

"Yes, No, Please!" He said.

"What's that?" I asked, as I didn't know what it was.

"One of us will be the giver, and one of us will be the receiver. The giver has to do something to the receiver, but they have to ask first!" He explained.

"Um.. I don't quite get it."

"For example, the giver says, 'Can I hold your hand?', and then the receiver has to say yes, no, or please. 'Please' means that they can do it once, and see if the receiver likes it. If the receiver liked what the giver did, then they can do it one more time."

"Hm..." I hummed. "I get it."

But it could be very dangerous. I mean, it's Karma we're talking about here.

"The 'no' and the 'yes' is pretty self explanatory." He said. A smirk grew on his face, "Let's start~"

"Okay, who is being who first?" I asked him.

"You can be the giver first! I'll be the receiver." He said happily.

I sweat dropped as I looked at him. He was eagerly waiting for me to say something, crossing his legs and swinging his body on the bed.

"Then... Can I kiss your cheek?" I said as I blushed. It wasn't like me to ask these kind of things...

He smiled, "Yes~"
