Oh, if I brought you to Clock Tower I'm sure you'd have the time of your life.
[Implying that yes, they can get poisoned and are not immune. He'll be able to hear the soft edge in the way she laughs as she waits to see if he'll press his button so they can meet. If not? No hard feelings. Rin doesn't exactly expect him to be feeling cuddly after exposing his heart like that.]
[If anytime the laws of that world made her miserable, Aak could cheer her up by taking a little corrective action... It's a thought that placates him a lot. He wouldn't decide, since he still had a long time to decide, but it's an option. And she would want him to be there.]
[Speaking of that, the light that had flickered on. Rin wanted him here. From his perspective, even if he's wrong, it's as a rare request for comfort from Rin. So, he pulls himself up from where he's sat, letting a deep breath he hadn't realized he was holding.]
[A click to match hers and let the wall come down.]
[Once the partition is fully removed, Rin settles in behind Aak and rests her head on his shoulder. Her arms loop around his waist to pull his back in against her front, and she tucks her chin in at the crook of his neck.]
Hey, all that was pretty heavy for a "questions" game. Have you had a lot on your mind?
Write out? There's no writing anything. After all, a written response is more permanent and damning than a verbal one. If we're lucky, most people will forget the more revealing answers given here.
[Her skin twitches when he touches her, but it's reflexive. There's no recoil, or even attempt to pull away. Instead she simply nuzzles into his neck before briefly nipping him through his coat.]
You're so lucky I can't pull this thing up right now,
[he taps the currently non-functional watch on his wrist. He remembers at least one of those icebreaker kind of posts she was too chatty on. As for here, well...]
As for this one... you're not allowed to forget this conversation, got it?
[If someone was going to be witness to his emotional vulnerability, to make him emotionally vulnerable, and to make it annoying enough he had to deal with it? Rin's on the hook for it, now.]
[Playfully her arms squeeze around him tight — pulling Aak so closely to her that it might even be uncomfortable for a brief moment. She loosens up, though, and sighs.]
[It's a strong squeeze and even if it's uncomfortable he doesn't wriggle against it. From this angle there's not as much room to reciprocate, so instead he just flicks his tail back to curl around her leg.]
If you forget it, I'll take it personally. [a laid back tone with an honest fact behind it,]
[If Rin decided to forget it and to forget his honesty, he would take that as a sign. He would try to start getting over it. It wasn't worth uprooting his life if it wasn't for something mutual.]
... is it 'cos I'm so fluffy? [even though where her hands rest is covered with clothes and not touching his fur.]
[While holding him, Rin throws her weight to the side so they both land with her as his big spoon. From there her legs begin trying to tangle with his.]
I could do all kinds of things, you know. I have you trapped~
[In the back of his head he wonders if maybe emotional honesty was worth it if Rin was so affectionate afterwards. It's a tough dilemma. The ideal would be to just enjoy a moment like this without the strange emotional itchiness that came from having to seriously confront his feelings.]
You're thinking of taking advantage of little, innocent me? You're a real nasty piece or work, Rin!
[he kicks her leg a bit in their intertwined mass, then lets out a breath,]
No wonder I like ya'.
[They both have terrible taste, something they can hopefully agree on.]
[Tohsaka really isn't good with words. She can't just say, "I like you back," but what she can do is make sure he knows it in other ways. His confession brings out her playful side without too much predatory intent behind it.
So when he kicks at her legs, Rin isn't bothered by it. Instead she holds him in her arms even tighter and rolls them around the floor of the (now joined) pods as she can.]
Innocent, are you? I don't think so! We're too much alike for that to be the case.
[He can accept what she can give, right now. They were too alike, they were both nasty pieces of work, they weren't innocent, and they liked each other.]
[The two of them lay there and Aak can feel his heart beating as they rest on the floor. It's cozy in its own way.]
Then why don't you show me what vile sorta things you wanna do?
[Vile, is what he wants? Well, then. Rin moves them about. Adjusts the way their limbs tangle together. She places Aak on his back. Straddles him for the upperhand. Reminiscent of a certain springtime game. Calling back to their first meeting. Does she always push him down like this? Hm.
In the end what he gets is simple. A hand cupping his furred cheek. A gentle kiss to his his lips.]
[What was his question, if not a show of submission? Rin seemed to love crawling on top of him and he didn't hate it either. She could hurt him and he could hurt her... albeit not in his usual way. Abandoning her to her own devices seemed like the most painful thing to inflict.]
[(Although, he hopes she knows that being the target of his affections is no protection against his concoctions. No one had immunity.)]
[It's a gentle kiss and he doesn't push it further, if only to have a teasing moment when their lips part,]
Did'ja really need to be on top for that? [her vile, terrible nature!]
Of course. If I'm on the bottom then you could have just leaned away from me. Or even got up, and left me all alone on the floor. Unless you'd like to prove me wrong?
[In fact she pulls well enough away from him that he'd be allowed to grip her and flip their positions if he'd like.]
When have I ever stopped you from kissin' me? [her rolls his eyes playfully]
[Admittedly, it would be a little funny to see Rin with her eyes closed and leaning in like a romance comic heroine and just leave her hanging. She'd probably get mad and her face was real cute when screwed up with anger.]
[Given the opportunity to flip her, of course, he does. Once she's below him he lays flat down on her chest, completely leisurely. Their faces are close enough together that he'd have to scramble quite quickly to avoid a kiss. And he gives her a small one on the lips, then another, then another, little kitty kisses.]
[The brief kisses tickle and entice her. After the first two she begins trying to reciprocate them. Pursing her lips against his for the short time they're together. Eventually she begins trying to chase him. Following him back as he pulls away.]
When have you ever skipped an opportunity to give me a hard time, hm?
You're a big brat, you know? Who knows what kind of inappropriate things you'd do if I let you have your way. That's why I always bully you, you know.
[She kisses back. Honestly? Just by sheer numbers she has probably kissed Aak now, in this pod, more times than she probably had total in a year at the Golden Peacock. Kissing was simply never her priority, but with Aak holding his insecurities on his sleeve she felt like he deserved some 'normal' affection.
Yet even though she says, "always" right now she's letting him have the upper hand. Allowing him to tease her and pull away and have the position of looming over her.]
[Kisses weren't usually necessary to how this place functioned. He'd only started doing them because of a certain insistent romantic and still didn't offer them often. He can't help but think that it is kind of nice, though.]
That's how you're justifyin' it? [he laughs, rolling over so they're curled up next to each other.]
[It's comfy to lay on top of Rin but just as comfy to curl up side by side, like they were laying in bed, like they were swapping some kind of dumb romantic pillow talk.]
It's not like you're protectin' anyone else from my nonsense. Or are you hopin' I'll pick someone off in your honor?
[Just like Rin had for his honor. And her honor, really. Her kittyfucking honor.]
[Her expression twists as a bit of color and warmth rises to her cheeks.]
No. You're trouble, and if I pin you down you'll be less trouble. It has nothing to do with anybody else. Just you and me.
[As in: letting him have his way with her would probably end incredibly embarrassing. For now she cants so that her forehead meets with his. A soft press hoping that if they're so close together he won't see her as clearly.]
[It's an optimistic thought Rin has there. Her forehead touches against his mess of bangs and while one eye may be covered the other is perfectly capable of seeing it.]
... well, considering you're invitin' trouble home with you, don't you wanna get used to it before I'm sleepin' on your couch?
[you wouldn't invite him to your world and then not house him, right? he won't even demand the bed right away!]
[Although he is a little curious. Most of the times they've slept together, surrendering a certain amount of control has just seemed like the toll he has to pay. What sort of things was she envisioning if she let both of them loose?]
And my own lab? [Some part of him may recognize he's getting swerved away from the topic. But he's never said he's above being bribed.]
Or the room can be the lab and then I'll sleep with you!
[Or he'll just fall asleep in his lab, something that wasn't uncommon when he actually had the space. Still, he has to threateningly flirt. While he does think of himself as extremely cute and cuddle-able he also knows he can use cuddling as a threat on hot, summer nights.]
[Tohsaka sighs in an attempt to seem undeterred by his little "friendly" threats.]
I bet you'd try and crawl your way into my bed whether I gave you a separate lab or not. Besides, if you'd be following me to Clock Tower we'd probably be sharing a space to save on money anyway.
[Hope you like being a pirate in Singapore over the summers.]
