> It's a gently frosty but still warm Autumn morning in mid September, the soft smell of cardamom fills your room as Shiori settles herself down onto your bed having brought you a bun from the bakery- one for you, and one for her
> She opens up her current favourite book, taking a soft munch out of hers, offering you a bit and patting the duvet next to her, inviting you to bring your laptop with you because she knows you're working from home today and just wants you nearby
> You have the ever-thrilling work emails and Excel sheets to slog through, but out of the corner of your eye, catching her little smiles or hearing her soft giggles as she gets into her book, melt you
> She sidles up against you, sipping occassionally from her teacup as you feel the warmth of your upper arms against one another
> You are typing a little softer than usual, but you do not know if this is out of trying to leave Shiori absorbed in her story, or if it is the effect of you being lulled into relaxation and infinite love having this adorable girl snuggled up against you and enjoying her hobby in your company
> You catch her often glance up at you, but when you meet her eyes, she swiftly looks back at her book, but you swear she's blushing a bit
> You plant a kiss upon her fluffy bangs and watch her grin and blush harder
> "T-this is a really good book, Anon....thank you for keeping me company..."
> You lean in and kiss her lips, and the book gently drops from her soft, ringed hands as she shakes a little before leaning against you dominatingly, pressing her hands firmly against your chest, and in that moment you know too that this is a most wonderful chapter of your story
