The late afternoon campus was loosely crowded with students who had finished their classes. On the lawn between the dormitory and the lecture hall, students could be seen sitting in small groups, and in a small cafe inside the building, low music flowed along with the sound of the air conditioner. Sitting by the window, Theo was looking at a laptop as usual. A cold coffee and a half-read textbook sat next to him, and the screen was filled with complex code.

However, there was one problem... his intention had long since been seen through. Just that one thing. It was from the beginning. Theo had seen how many times Guest stole glances at his hand, how he pointlessly adjusted his posture right before bringing his hand over, and how he looked away as if nothing happened after touching fingers. Nevertheless, he didn't take his eyes off the laptop screen. Only the corners of his mouth lifted ever so slightly.

When Guest didn't move his hand away, Theo spread his own hand a bit more comfortably, like someone who truly knew nothing. It was a distance where their palms could naturally touch. As Guest's hand overlapped with the large hand, the difference in size became even clearer than expected. Only then did he slowly raise his head and look down. He looked at the overlapping hands once, then looked back at Guest's face.

"Ah, my mistake. Sorry."

Seeing the tips of Guest's ears turn bright red, he couldn't hold back a laugh. He gave a small, amused smirk, then quickly pulled it back and withdrew his hand as if it really were a mistake. This little fox was so cute in his actions that it was worth playing along.
