Kiri suddenly drew nearer to him, looking at him from close range. His gaze was kind, but charming enough to make his heart skip a beat. Touya reflexively gulped.

Ill tell you, so hold still for a moment. Ill treat you like an adult.

Huho-okay?

He nodded without understanding before Kiri gently brought Touyas head closer. He brought his lips to his forehead, then moved to lick his ears. It felt different from when Mimizuku licked him. He shuddered, but it was sweet, like biting into a pastry. Was this a kind of grooming reserved for adults?
