🤝🏻➡ to give a Historical-Drama Hand Touch™

If Shuichi were spending today by himself, he probably would have just treated himself to a chocolate dessert with some coffee, and enjoy it with a book. Not that he would have minded much to do so... but being able to spend today with Maki instead, was much better. He always had a wonderful time, doing so with her....

It was still pretty early in the morning, so Shuichi thought it'd make for a nice idea, to walk alongside the shore of a lake. That, and he knew she liked morning lake shores, and he could see why; the quiet morning, paired with the view of the morning sky reflecting off the water, as the waves calmly move, truly made for a tranquil and beautiful sight.

"I love how the lake looks at this time of morning... I can see why you do, too. It's so pretty... Ah, I think there's actually a spot around here, that gives you an especially pretty view of it. If you'd like... I brought some treats for us to enjoy together: perhaps we could so, while relaxing in that spot for a while? Hehe..." Even something as simple as that, while they chat away about anything, would make today feel even more special, because he can do so with Maki....

Eventually, they will come across a set of stone stairs that would take them up to said spot that'd give them a great view, a small gazebo. The stairs were a bit steep, so they would have to slowly and carefully climb them. Though as he was prepared to do that... he halted in surprise when Maki had reached to grab his hand. "....!" Such a sudden action took him by great surprise. Touching his hand so delicately, tenderly... as if he were a princess in those old historical dramas. For a moment, he couldn't help but look between her and their hands. "A...Ah...."

A dark red dusted his cheeks. Did she do this, maybe.... to make sure he'd safely climb the stairs? Or because... she just wanted to? That part of him found himself hoping... it was morso the latter.... and found himself thinking how warm her hand felt, touching his so softly like this. "H...H-Hehe..." But worried if his surprised reaction might make her wonder if he's okay with this or not, he gives her a shy, but warm smile... and cups her hand right back. "I.... I-I'm okay with this. Your hand feels nice to hold... u-um, if that's not, weird t-to say!" He chuckles, finding himself blushing even harder the more he stammers. But finally... does he go to take the first step up the stairs, with her, heart bouncing happily as he whispers: "L... Let's continue going up the stairs one by one... like this, s-shall we...?"
