will you takeher hand?
' eh ... is it another dead end , eto-san ? ' from over her shoulder , his curious reds are visible and blinking even in the dark . when he had joined her for the sake of exploring an advertised labyrinth attraction , he didn't think that it would actually be so ... well , labyrinthine .
steadily charting a map in his mind has led him to wonder just how enormous the laid out complex was , though the tight corridors , despite being nigh pitch dark and immensely claustrophobic , didn't seem to bother him as much as anyone might have guessed it would .
as long as they kept going , they'd figure everything out at some point , right ? it's what he wanted to believe . it wasn't as if they were wandering blindly , taking care to memorize even the faintest landmarks and to make note of their steps . daisuke's about to turn when , even in the dim lit , he can make out the shape of her hand .
' u-um --- ! ' in an instant , the weight of every perceived expectation crashing into him , his heart starts to beat a little . his heart starts to beat a lot . ' n-no ... ! ' even a whisper as quiet as this still bounces audibly off the closed walls , but while his free hand sets over the space of his heart , his eyes widen at kimi before him --- ' wah ! n-no , i mean , not ... no to going with you ! or your hand ! i just ... '
his head starts to spin a little . he's starting to feel hot , and he's still acting like a total weirdo . it was normal for anyone in a labyrinth to want to hold the hand of their company to make sure nobody ended up split or separated , right ? yet the touch is still embarrassing , risky-feeling , and even worse , kimiko was still left standing there , awkwardly waiting for him to accept .
' i just --- um , ' a lie . he had to hurry up and think of something ... ! ' my ... my hands are a little sweaty . it might not be comfortable ... ' she might have even pulled away right away --- or called him gross without having any further interest in touching . yet still trying to resist any tremble , investing every ounce of his attentions into keeping himself calm and cool , ( just stay calm and cool ! ) he anxiously extends his own hand forward , and somehow , eyes shut , cheeks ablaze --- manages to slip his palm into her grasp .
it's warm . a little hot , even . his eyes snap open and he stares in wonder at her and their combined palms . wasn't it a little strange ? almost like dark's own deathly chill , avoided for as long as the boy's heart didn't reach its limit , transformation perpetually robbing him of his body's gentle heat . he only marvels briefly at his company's hands , pulled along down another long hallway . something like this , even wandering a seemingly endless maze that could have worn any lone person down ...
' um , eto-san . ' in the dark , he's relieved to hear that his nervous voice still sounded like his own . ' we ... we can do it ! ' she wasn't about to give up , and he wasn't either . like this , despite his usual worries and terror , it was even --- a little fun . reaching out a hand to him , and now feeling his own nestled within hers , was she as happy as he felt just to share in a little company , even in a dreary place like this ? ' we'll both get out . especially if it's us ! so , um ... l-let's try the other way ! '
maybe by the end of everything , they'd have a fun new victory photo to take home for themselves . or , if not that much , then at least a brand new memory --- one he'd cherish , quietly .
