Later that night...

Davi was lying on the bed when Sei walked in. He sat at the edge of the bed for a while before he slowly laid beside her without removing his mask.

The entire room was silent but that moment, a strange familiar feeling was brewing inside Davi’s heart as she looked at the man beside her.

Sleeping in this bed for almost a month without him was sad and uncomfortable for her. But now that Sei was right beside her, she just wanted to hug him and squeeze him hard in her arms.

"S-Sei?"

The moment Davi called his name, Sei immediately turned his head towards her. However, he was surprised because the girl was hiding her face behind a small white teddy bear.

"You’re the one who gave me this that night, right?" she asked and Sei’s gaze fell into the face of the teddy bear. He remembered what happened that night so he knew that the teddy wasn’t basically from him.

Davi then hugged the bear in her bosom as she continued talking. "This little guy actually became your substitute since then."

The girl was smiling as she he squeezed the bear even tighter.

However, for some reason, Sei wasn’t pleased and he even glared at the bear in her arms before he suddenly reached out his hand.

"Give it to me."

"Eh?" Davi’s brows knitted curiously, but she still gave the bear to him. Sei then took the bear from her and he put it on the table right away. Davi just blinked and was even more puzzled.

"You don’t need it anymore," he said.

"..." Davi was speechless as question marks began dancing inside her brain.

"Because I’m here now."

As soon as she heard what he just said, she coughed quite a few times and her hand reflexively covered her mouth. She was shocked to the core as she turned brightly red. Gosh! W-when did this man became this good in spewing these kind of cheesy lines? Are you trying to beat me on my own game?

Davi’s heart was fluttering like crazy. But, she knew that he might not even aware that his words were damn deadly romantic.

And thinking about it made her felt a bit jealous on how easily he could make her heart flutter. At the same time, she realized that Sei seemed to be changing for good as time goes by. As she looked at him, she couldn’t help but felt a warm fuzzy feeling. She couldn’t believe that the terrifying monster she met nearly two months ago was just now a soft and adorable masked creature that eventually ended up being the apple of her eyes.

"Sei. Can I hug you?" she then asked. And Sei couldn’t even responded yet when she wrapped her arm around him as she hugged him tight as though he was her long lost huge teddy bear that she finally found at last.

That moment, an inexplicable feeling of comfort and peacefulness enveloped Davi’s entire being that she immediately fell asleep without even saying goodnight.

Sei, on the other hand, who instantly froze the moment she hugged him remained motionless. He could feel the warmth of her body. He could hear the silent sound of her breathing. He could feel the beating of her heart.

Her embrace was like a fire enveloping him, wildly burning every wall of glaciers that built up around him for many years.

Until moment passed by and Sei finally moved. He reached out his hand and removed his mask. Then, he stared at the girl in his embrace hugging him as though she never wanted to let him go.

He stared at her for quite a while before he slowly turned his body towards her and then he embraced her back.
