"You're doing well...you didn't mean to make me cry, it's alright." She said softly as she reached up and dried the last of the tears away. Haruo was a little surprised when she knelt and then wrapped her arms around him in a gentle hug. Kaoru rested her chin on his shoulder for a moment and sighed. "I kinda needed that....to talk about it...and it never hurts to have a good cry every once and a while." She explained before she hurriedly let him go.
With the hug and a short moment of intimacy as she rested her chin on his broad shoulder, Haruo's face was an instant fire engine red.
"S-Sorry...I just thought that you looked like you needed a hug." Kaoru blurted out, sitting back on her heels for a moment as her cheeks turned a slightly darker pink.
Haruo blinked a couple of times, mouthed like a goldfish and grey orbs met lilac ones as he looked at her. That was very... very unexpected. Time for a change of subject.
"Eer... I'm new to all of this... hugging and stuff." he bounced onto his feet, cleared his throat. "Now... is there anything you need help with around here? Cooking?"
He walked around for a little, then did a comical twirl, one he usually did back home. It's good to know some habits never die even when your body was half dying in the real world. When he completed a 360, he struck a pose.
"I'm actually pretty good with cooking, even back home in the real world." He boasted sweetly, then made a dorky smile that surprisingly fitted well with CirCle's features. "Even then since I was so caught up with education and games, I tend to just pour hot water into a styrofoam bowl..."
"Now then... what's it gonna be? Or are you going to do the cooking?" He raised an eyebrow. He really didn't believe in all the 'kitchen equals female domain'. It was stupid in his opinion. What if a guy wanted to eat and his wife was away from home for several days? Starve to death? Eat outside?
'And that is why, knowing how to cook is never a bad thing.' Haruo thought to himself.
