[ They feel his words settle into them, just as comfortable and warm as he is against them. Sometimes, it feels so good to receive affection like this that they can hardly believe any of this is real; they don't know exactly why he feels this way, or what about them could ever induce this, but they feel like they're going crazy, every time they face the new experience of someone wanting to be by their side no matter what.
It's addicting, but overwhelming in a sense, too. They press their eyes shut, tensing as his breath ruffles their hair; not out of discomfort, but because they can feel their heart racing from his words, and how easily they came from him. ]

Even their ears feel warm from the rush they're feeling, but they refuse to check with their hand, not wanting to draw any more attention to their face than necessary.
