Chapter 18

Return

Miria was the first one to wake up when the morning came. She found herself in the same position she last remembered, which was in Ast’s embrace, with them both lying on their sides. She glanced upwards to see if he was still sleeping and it seemed like it. Asterios’ sleeping face caused her to smile. It looked so serene and to some extent really handsome. His breath tickled her ears with each movement of his lungs, making them twitch in response.

She dropped her gaze back to his chest and stroked it over the material. She recalled the warm feeling from before she had fallen asleep and it lured her to snuggle to Ast’s body again. Miria started rubbing her face into it more and more, taking a few good whiffs of him. His natural scent was very pleasant and relaxing, inviting her to press her cheeks and forehead against Asterios even more.

After a few moments, she realized what she was doing and froze while blushing fervently. She hadn’t done such things to a man since the day she turned twelve. Before that, she always loved to jump at her father to snuggle to his chest and rub her face into it as she did just now. She already forgot how good it felt, but it was too embarrassing for a grown-up girl to get all snuggly with her parents.

A sudden scratching behind her ear made Miria shiver in surprise. She glanced up and her eyes met with Ast’s. Her actions must have woken him up. Her pupils quivered in embarrassment when he smiled knowingly. She knew he saw and felt her do it.

“Having fun?” he spoke.

Miria quickly hid her face back in his chest, making Asterios chuckle. He patted her head for a little longer and raised them both to a sitting position. She didn’t want to show him her completely red cheeks so she stayed in a hug, not knowing what to do.

“You literally walked naked in front of me yesterday and now you are getting all shy from this?” He laughed again.

“It’s different… I wasn’t rubbing my face into you like some weirdo yesterday…”

“Well, rather than weird, it looked kinda cute to me. And you seemed quite happy. If something makes you happy, then you should do it more.” He kept stroking her head as he talked.

Miria’s ears twitched. She mustered all her courage and slowly backed away so that they could properly face each other. She still had to avert her gaze from time to time.

“But… isn’t that childish? I’m not a little girl anymore…”

“So, you are saying that if I turn old enough then I can’t keep doing things I enjoy? Don’t let thoughts like that limit who you really are and what you like doing. Do I have to stop giving my mother a kiss on the cheek just because I’ve reached a certain age? Why? Because the majority of people view that as embarrassing? So, I should be exactly like them and stop showing my mom how much I love her? Do not let strangers tell you what is fun and what is not.
