[Even if he weren't already smiling, he'd certainly have to be after that - that little squeak (because how cute can she get, really), and then the way the surprise is gone as quickly as it appeared - it's just so...so very, endearingly, Chizuru.
There's part of him that would like nothing more than to flip her over and just - go to town, but even if he has a feeling she wouldn't mind a bit, he can't help but hold back, because the way she's touching him now...slowly, carefully, like she's dipping one toe in the bathwater to check the temperature before she slides the rest of the way in...
(Thinking about Chizuru in the bath: unexpectedly nice, but not quite where he was trying to go with that train of thought -)
It's captivating, seeing how she navigate this for the first time, and it's never going to be quite the same as this again, so he holds back, stays put, letting go of her waist only to move his hand up to tangle in her hair and lean in to kiss her. He'd rather be patient, at least for now.]
