Won't tell anyone about the way you hold my hand.
 SECRET relationship; The fact that you're in a relationship with this person isn't public knowledge. Actually, no one knows about it except for the people involved. Maybe you guys are just private like that; on the other hand, it may be a necessity to keep things a secret from others. Maybe you're both team mates, and others on the team would give you grief, or you're not suppose to be dating, or you're not the type to usually date and you're only testing the waters. Perhaps it's the combination of you two, possibly an odd couple, that would bring some controversy or some teasing. Or, you know, you could not want to deal with friends and relatives being busybodies. Your reasons are your own. Are you content with stealing moments to be together as a couple? Do you want to make your relationship known and the fact that you can't drives you batty? Remember, there are lots of benefits to dating in secret. You can be yourselves completely, away from prying eyes, and get to know each other better as potential longterm romantic partners. In a way, it's ideal. ...still, do you ever wish you could scream from the rooftops how much you care for your significant other? how to play.

[But yeah, shouldn't they be talking more instead of just sitting around avoiding eye-contact? He's not an expert on this ... like, not at all, but it doesn't seem right.]
You, uh ... you working on any cases or anything?
[He feels like the longer he just sits there saying nothing, the worse it's gonna get, and he really, really doesn't want that. He doesn't want to screw this up or for them to be ... y'know, wrong.]

A bit of a relieved look on her face, Naoto nods.]
Nothing too exciting, to be fair, but I have been called in on a burglary case in Okina. I had to go to the scene yesterday, that is why I was missing in our last classes. Before that, the last thing I was really working on was a homicide in Kyoto. A man was accused of killing his wife in the bathtub, but as it turns out, she had a seizure and fell, hitting her head and drowning.
[It's odd how relaxed talking about murder makes Naoto. She sits up a bit straighter, and starts speaking more with her hands, instead of nervously balling them in her lap. The smile is starting to come back to her face as well.]

[Besides, it's kinda cool. I mean, how often do you see this stuff on TV? Crimes, stopping the bad guys. It's awesome. And she actually does that. It's like something out of a movie.]
Whoa ... how's that work? I mean, how do you tell the difference? I mean, if she fell wouldn't she still have hit her head or something? That could look like someone whacked her on the head, right?

[Naoto is getting even more excited, but stops after a moment, a realization hitting her like a truck.]
Oh. Er, I apologize, Kanji-kun. I sometimes forget that most people don't speak casually of murder and crime. Um.

Hey, it's all cool. Don't worry about it. That's crazy though. I mean, how the hell do you notice all that stuff?
[He kinda wonders what it must be like to have her brain, because all of that would go way over his head.]
no subject
[She thinks for a moment, trying to put things that are almost second-nature into words.]
The best way I could explain it, I think is that noticing details like that is to me what knitting is to you. I've seen you knit while watching TV or while doing other things, it's just second nature to you, and something you've done for quite a long time. That is what this is to me.
