章 34: 34. Fireplace

The thick cotton cloth resembling a towel flumps down on my head as soon as the two of us step into the main door with the rain dripping off from all edges possible on us.

I laugh briefly and try to catch a glimpse of Elian through the silver bangs falling in front of my eyes but two hands immediately grip the side of my head with the towel on top.

"Eli...an?" I call out tentatively and the hands start to move right after, ruffling my hair.

It almost seems as though he is putting all his existing frustrations into the act and I could feel the towel directly rubbing on my scalp.

At Least I assume it's him since he was right by my side when we stepped in.

"Ah! Ah!" I exclaim with a warning in my voice and he slows down the harsh rubbing. The tingles at the end of my hair shaft ease and my shoulders droop at the relaxation reviving throughout my body.
