I stared at her, waiting for a reply, which I didn't get. No matter how much passed, she didn't say anything. Her eyes looked into mine, and my shoulders relaxed. I have seen this expression before, in a similar situation. I let go of her shoulders and pulled her by her arms before holding her tight close to me. Is Ai angry? Yes, she is.
Is that all? No, absolutely not. That is not like Ai just being angry with me. She's sad.
"I'm sorry, Ai," I apologized to her yet again, and she didn't say anything, but still clung to me. "If I'm going to get the silent treatment, I would rather have you suck off all my blood every night than that."
"Would you let me?" she asked in a low voice, and I nuzzled my face against her hair.
"As much as you want," I said, and she pulled away from my chest before looking at me. Those eyes still looked sad. What can I do to change that? I don't want Ai to be sad. Anything but that, please.
