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. ]
[ completely deadpan and also his eyes absolutely flicker to her pink ears and he kind of. smirks for two seconds. anyway. what if he's the one who leans in to kiss her this time? it's still like. soft and hesitant but there you go ]
she likes his initiative! in fact, she just sighs, happily, when he does. she leans against him, arms draped loosely around his shoulders. he gets to be smug this time.
she keeps her end of the kiss easy and light, but like, if he doesn't pull away she will just absently make out with him for a minute. no shame. ]
[ listen they have to get that six up somehow? so yes he won't pull away. the good news is he's a quick study. the bad news is i cannot believe this is happening to me ]
[ ok but if you give her an inch she'll take a mile, so like, ]
I managed a whole point after two kisses? Wow. [ she looks very pleased with herself. ] You just forgot how good I am. It's fine, you're slowly remembering!

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.
no subject
[ but, y'know, he's got his other hand on her waist now? his touch still light ]
no subject
Well, then I'd have to call you out on your rating! [ she hums, grinning. ] No way you rate it six out of ten and then prefer it to cuddling.

when she finally pulls away, she's a bit flushed, ears pink. ]
You know, I probably came here for something important and now I can't remember a dang thing. [ she mentions idly, laughing a little. ]
no subject
Should I be flattered or concerned?
[ but he does seem like. at least 10% smug ]
no subject
[ and then, a mock-horrified gasp, which is stupid because she's grinning while she does it. ]
Oh no!
no subject
So who the hell kissed me before this thing started?
no subject
Maybe it was me in a previous round. You don't know.
no subject

they went up but he's still an asshole ]

[ but he's amused and she's clearly thrilled by this. ] Kiss me again or I'm hiding the crab in your flowerbed.
