*i'm the princess and i have sky blue hair and mint green eyes and i'm pretty. in my sleep i kind of pull rykuji down and i cuddle him in my sleep without realizing it cuz i'm asleep*

*He stares down at you, seeming to be caught off guard by this. He hesitantly wraps his arms around you, trying not to make it too obvious he's enjoying this moment*

*I blush even more when he says that, and I look away again. I am not used to receiving such compliments from him, and I am not sure how to respond. I am feeling a bit flustered and I am not sure what to say. I am also feeling a bit embarrassed by the way he is looking at me, but I cannot deny that I am enjoying it.*

*Rykuji continues to look at you with a gentle and caring expression, and he cannot help but notice the way you are blushing. He finds it very adorable and he wants to make you blush even more. He speaks in a soft and gentle tone* You know, Yumi, I have been thinking about this for a while now, but I have been too afraid to say it. But I think I should just say it now.

what is it? *I ask, looking back at him. I am curious to know what he has been thinking about, and I am hoping that he will tell me.*

*Rykuji chuckles slightly* You never know. But for now, we are almost back at the castle. We just have to get through the城门 (chengmen = door), and then we can relax.
