Yuko took her hands away from her ears when Riku took her shoulders in his hands and looked closer at her face. Yuko blushed and gulped. What is he doing? Yuko then realized one thing. I really don't like this. I'm scared of planes.
Y-Yamazaki-san, are you alright? Did something happen?
Yuko could hardly understand what Riku was saying, because of how quickly he was speaking. "I-I'm fine... Nothing happened... Yuko laughed nervously, trying to forget about what had just happened. When Riku lowered his hands, and tilted his head at Yuko, she tilted her head as well. "Hm?"
Neh... are you afraid of traveling by plane, if you don't mind me asking, Yamazaki-san?
Yuko laughed loudly and nervously. "W-What? Why would I be scared of traveling by plane?" Yuko laughed some more, and her voice cracked then she sighed. "This is my first time..." Yuko looked at Riku, seriously. "C-Can I..." Yuko struggled to say what she had to say, but said it in short pauses. "Please... hold your hand?"
