Chapter 139 Cuddling
Lith walked into his room and stood in front of the wardrobe. He took out a blue t-shirt and a white short out of it and changed into it. After changing, he walked back to the living room and as he arrived, he stood in his tracks and smiled looking at Arya.
She was sitting on the couch and watching tv in just her blue bra and panty. Lith walked towards her and said smiling
“Teacher, is this what something comfy means for you?”
Arya looked at Lith and said shaking her head, “Nope, this isn’t the comfy outfit for me. Comfy would be something such as a half top with short sleeves and just my panty.”
“Oh. So you don’t have a half top with you right now?” Lith asked.
“That’s right. My clothes are in my bedroom. I forgot to put them in my ring.” Arya said smiling.
“Do you want me to get them for you?” Lith asked again.
“No need.” Arya replied with a smile.
Lith nodded his head and sat beside her and both continued watching anime. The anime they were watching was a slice of life genre anime about teens doing their daily things in their academy and it had a romantic plot between the male lead who was the main character and the female lead.
An hour into watching it, Lith slumped to the side of the sofa, on the arm rest and said to Arya, “teacher, sitting normally isn’t comfortable. Come, let’s sleep and watch it together.”
Arya turned to him, pulled his right cheek lightly and said smiling, “do you think I’ll agree if you ask me such things? And aren’t you going overboard?”
“Ow, ow, ow. Teacher, it hurts, let gooooo.” Lith said dramatically and tried to fake resist her.
Lith rubbed his cheek and said to Arya, “teacher, you’re bullying me. You are very bad.”
“Yes, I am. What are you gonna do about it?” Arya said smugly.
“I can’t do anything. That’s the problem. Teacher is too strong.” Lith said with a sad expression and wiped a non existent tear from his face.
Arya chuckled but didn’t reply to it. Lith put one of his hand out and said to Arya with a smile, “don’t worry teacher, I am no pervert who will take advantage of you. Just trust me, this feels super nice. And the anime we’re watching, it’ll feel even more nice if we watch it sleeping together.”
Lith avoided stating that he was inviting Arya to cuddle together and watch the anime. Doing so would create an awkward atmosphere between the two and he therefore avoided it. Though sleeping together meant an entirely different meaning, in this situation, it helped more than asking her out to straight up cuddle.
Lith was gambling currently. He knew that their realtionship wasn’t to the point where they could cuddle together but he still took the risk. If he won this gamble, they would be much more closer than before but if he lost this gamble, it’ll mean in him moving a step backwards from what he wanted to achieve.
Nevertheless, he was ready for a loss. Arya on the other hand was an inexperienced lady in the matters regarding dating and had no idea that Lith was indirectly inviting her to cuddle together. Thus, having no idea about it, she went along with his plans. She knew that he won’t take advantage of her or do anything perverted and thus followed along.
While she was carrying him on her back previously, he didn’t do anything perverted even though he could easily. He also didn’t take advantage of her when she was drunk last time. All these facts led to her trusting him and thus, she followed along.
‘YES!’ Lith screamed internally as Arya accepted his proposal.
The two now laid on the sofa together. Lith was behind, holding Arya by her waist and the two cuddled together while watching anime. Though Lith felt a little uncomfortable due to Arya being much taller than him, he didn’t voice it out. This moment would decide their future together and he didn’t want to mess it up.
Arya seemed pretty comfortable in his embrace. She had the back of her head touch his chest and was sleeping on the couch facing away from Lith. Lith had his hand wrapped on her stomach but she didn’t mind it. He wasn’t taking advantage of her and didn’t cross any lines, so she was fine with it.
After two hours of watching anime together and cuddling together with Arya, Lith fell asleep. He was too tired today. He didn’t sleep last night and was roaming around trying to distract himself and then there was the date with Arya, all these things made him very tired and he thus fell asleep after trying his best to not to.
Arya sensed Lith sleeping and slowly turned around to see him. He was indeed sleeping and she could figure out that such a position would be uncomfortable to sleep in. She slowly got out from his embrace and stood up. She then cast a deep sleep spell on him and picked him up from the sofa.
She took him to his bedroom and placed him on the bed and draped a blanket over. She patted his head slightly and said with a smile, “I enjoyed our time together today and thankyou for taking care of me yesterday. Sleep well, goodnight.”
Those were Arya’s heartfelt words. She wasn’t joking or was stating this playfully like she usually did. She felt warm in her heart being around with Lith today. They joked, chatted and shamelessly talked so much today, she loved her time with him and it was genuine.
There was also her cuddling together with Lith. She didn’t understand what this unknown feeling was when she was cuddling with him but if she were to describe it, it was roughly that she felt warm and comfortable in his embrace.
