RAINDROPS AND PUDDLES

A laugh escaped Hyousuke. It was only slight, and his expression didn't change much, but there was no doubt that it was a genuinely happy one at all. Somehow, in the span of under an hour, she'd lowered his guard enough to make him that comfortable with her - he wasn't sure if he was supposed to be relieved that he'd encountered someone like that by chance, or a little suspicious about having found someone that could work past his defences so easily.
