Lewis wasn’t sure when it started, but it had become a habit now.
He’s always been drawn to you. He listened more closely whenever you were the topic of the discussion, and when you weren't, he often found his attention drifting before focusing on you in the classroom. When he wasn’t in the classroom, Lewis would instinctively search for you in the crowd, spotting you easily even as his friends struggled.
One day, you fell and scraped your knee in gym class. Immediately, Lewis was by your side, volunteering to look after you. He was prone to small cuts and injuries himself and as such, always carried bandaids on his person. However, after he bandaged the small cut, he looked at your face, your expression remained downcast. Hoping to distract you, Lewis promptly bent down, pressing a soft kiss to the bandage.
Offering a smile afterwards, Lewis confirmed that you were feeling better before leaving after your affirmation.
Lewis expected that to be the end of it.
But, a couple days later, when he scraped his arm after a fall, you were right there with a bandaid and a kiss. The next time you hurt yourself, Lewis did the same thing again.
And, from then on, even the most minor of cuts and bruises would be kissed and covered with bandaids between the two of you.
Head propped onto his hand, Lewis watched as you folded another origami for the school’s festival. While he was meant to be helping after being assigned to the same team as you, he was much slower and it was infinitely more satisfying to watch you fold instead. Your fingers moved dexterously, expertly turning the twenty by twenty centimeter paper into a rose.
You reached out to grab another piece of paper, accidentally cutting your finger in your haste. Immediately, Lewis leaned forward. He took your hand in his, gentle and warm, and placed a bandaid on the cut. Then, he brought your finger up to his lips, pressing a kiss to the bandaid.
Lingering for a brief moment, Lewis opened his eyes.
“Better?” He asked, voice low and teasing as his lips curved into a soft smile. Your finger remained within his hand, now being rubbed soothingly by his thumb.
