When it seemed like he was finished with his edits, Kurumi leaned against the wall and allowed his voice to fill the corridors and her being for the moment.
Something...in there...in his voice and the way he sang tugged on Kurumi's heart strings and she had to close her eyes for a moment and bit her lower lip. Before she even realized that she was doing it, tears were slowly trickling their way down her face.
When he had finished, Kurumi couldn't find any words to say and instead simply reached out and placed her hand on his.
Connor reached over and placed his hand over hers. There were tears slowly trickling down his cheeks too. He reached into his pocket and wiped his eyes. Hadn't she been upset with him every time he'd tried to express this particular feeling to her. He still felt that feeling, but he knew better than to discuss that with her. Every time he had he'd heard about it in some way or another. Why should this time be any different?
He reached over and wiped away her tears as he knelt before her. He was afraid to cross the boundary again. There were only so many times you could walk into a fire and get burned before you stopped walking in. He bit his lower lip in an effort to hold himself back. "Kurumi" He whispered, his voice breaking.
