Chasing a Naughty Feline [open]

[Ri]

"I know that it's hard to be away from your family and friends on the outside....if you ever need anyone to cry too I'm here for you. I like you too Ri..."

How long has it been since she was hugged? Two years? Two years, yes. She didn't really crave for the feeling, the touch, but embraces were special, intimate and always nice.

Risha dropped the bit of cone left in her hand when Cloud grabbed her for a tight squeeze. She sniffed, the tears drying up easily around her eyes. However, another thing bothered her. With the fox's body pressed against hers, she felt herself shaking. No, it wasn't her, it was Tetsuya.

Soon, she felt the dampness of her dress...he was crying.

I made him cry. That was her initial thought. She didn't know how to comfort people so she caressed his head instead.

"Cloud-kun," She beamed, "we can stay here a little longer if you want." She looked ahead to spot the large entrance of the Central Town yonder. "But if you want to, we can go on to the Central Town."

Pardon, block.

[Cloud Tetsuya]

Cloud felt Ri's arms around his head and he shivers a bit and then smiles as he felt her warm embrace. His Fox ears drop down like he was being petted and his tail wag happly showing that he was enjoying the moment. Then he hears Ri speaking and he comes back to the world. He slowy steps away from here and hides his face as he wipes his tears away. He once remembered his father saying that a women should never see a man cry. So he tried his bet to hide it from Ri. After 10 seconds he turns around and puts on another fake smile and he says

"Sorry...Shall we countine going to the town?"

And he grabs Ri's hand and pulls her along and smiles. Cloud forgot his main reason for following Ri and that was to make her happy and enjoy her time in Alice Academy. So he pulls her along and into Central town where he squeese her hand and says "Where do you want to go?"
