Well. You could just kiss me, then! [ tadaaa ] Or not, I won't be offended. I know there's a lot going on, and it's - you know, it's more important to save everybody and make sure this stuff goes right. More than anything I want to make sure we all make it through this, and that you get your memories back.
But. I've never really been the type of person to not go for things that make me happy? And you have, and I wanted to show you, so I did.
... I might not remember much, but I'm pretty sure I've never... [ he's a little more stoic now, at least, but still looks away and doesn't finish that sentence since Yeah Okay ] And you were with Blanca, so I didn't. Think.
[ and now he is and it's very. uh. like being hit by a ton of bricks ]
[ RUDE but he does relax, which makes her relax too. she makes a face at him. ]
That was before I knew! Also, stop comparing my kissing technique to my brother! I don't want to think about him and kissing you in the same context! Wow!
So you want me to forget about both. [ no banter is better and relaxes him. his true state is being a little shit. there's still a little hesitation, but: ] Third one better be good enough for it, then.
Yes! Forget both! Tragedies, both of them, wipe 'em off the map.
[ a pause, and then she smiles at him, brightly. she doesn't really hesitate, in that case. she moves right up to him, gives him a second to pull away - and then leans up to kiss him proper, both hands on his chest to steady herself.
she is probably a little cold, unfortunately. but she makes this one count, gentle and lingering. ]
[ He... expects it this time (obviously.) so he doesn't freeze, but it's still very gentle and hesitant in response. He feels her hands on him and raises his own to kind of? cup her cheek? again, very gently. like she is a baby bird. hilarious.
but this one is, y'know, a proper one, so good job on fixing a tragedy kids ]
[ she encourages that, tilting into his touch. sighs, just a little, pleased. she's mostly chaste with this, not wanting to like - scare him off? and then after a moment of letting him adjust and maybe even relax, she pulls back.
just enough, though. presses their foreheads together instead. ]

no he'd started to go back to normal but he's back to flushing again, looking stiff and unsure ]
That's. You're. [
gestures, vaguely. ]
Why?
no subject
Because you're cute, and you're awkward, and you're trying. [ sniff. ] And you've been nice to me, too.
no subject
[ HE SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN RECORD NOW ]
no subject
We're - I guess we're a thing but I'm not against opening the thing?
no subject
What. [ he's so stiff and just. rubs the back of his neck a little ] What would that even...
[ mean? entail? why is he even asking. this is a lot. ]
no subject
[ she is just very casual about it. he's very red, and it's absolutely hilarious to her, though she's doing a decent job of keeping it off her face. ]
I'm not going to make you do anything, though, you're already about to die from just me saying that out loud.
no subject
We've talked like twice. [ him and blanca. obviously. ] I'm not...
[ he is very much dying, yeah, shes right ]

Oh, please tell me that wasn't your first kiss. [ wheezes ]

:| tiredly; ]
Might've been your brother, actually.

stares at the ceiling for a whole thirty seconds. ]
no subject
Okay - new deal, new thing: you forget that happened, and you let me make your first kiss way better than that? Yeesh.
no subject
Way better? I don't know, your technique was about the same.
[ as in planting one on him briefly without him expecting it ]
no subject
That was before I knew! Also, stop comparing my kissing technique to my brother! I don't want to think about him and kissing you in the same context! Wow!

Better? [ tease, tease. ]
no subject
... Decent enough, I guess. [ she's not the only one who can tease, though? suffer ] Least a six out of ten.
no subject
Six out of ten! [ she huffs, mock-outraged. ] You have nothing to compare it to! Wow!
[ she's smiling, though, so it takes most of the heat out. she noses at him a little. ]
Guess we'll have to practice to get that up to ten out of ten! You've left me no choice.
no subject
anyway, his lips twitch a bit, betraying that he's being a little shit ]
That a threat or a promise? [ but there's a moment of hesitation before ... he tucks her hair behind her ear ] You're sure this is alright?
[ he has no idea how the fuck open relationships work. or. regular relationships do not @ him ]
no subject
Both! [ nyehhh. she tilts her head into his touch. ]
It is, yeah. Try not to worry, okay? I always know what I'm doing. [ ... ] And now you have no excuse to not cuddle me! So hop to it, mister.
no subject
Has this been a ploy for cuddles this whole time? [ dry. ]
no subject
What, you'll kiss me but you won't cuddle me? Rude.
