An Outing (3)

“Uh..?”

I stared down at the pancake thrust in front of my eyes with a startled expression.

At some point, Lumia had speared a piece of cake with her fork and was holding it out to me.

“Oh my, aren’t you going to eat? She went to all the trouble of holding it out for you.”

I stared blankly down at Lumia as she held the fork toward my face.

Is this really okay..?

Come to think of it, the fork she was holding out to me had been in Lumia’s mouth just moments ago. If I put the fork she was offering into my mouth, wouldn’t that basically mean putting the fork that had been in Lumia’s mouth into mine as well..?

Am I.. overreacting too much..?

I hesitated and watched Lumia’s reaction.

Lumia merely tilted her head in confusion, as if she hadn’t even realized it was the fork she’d been eating with. No, there was no way Lumia could fail to notice, so perhaps she simply didn’t care...
