@FINALITYWRITTEN ( well, she's not about to look a gift horse in the mouth... so, into the covers himeko goes, allowing the cat ample room. )

i'm not used to having such cute companions in my room... that should bode well for sleep tonight..

[𝖭𝖺𝗏𝗂𝗀𝖺𝗍𝗈𝗋. @BlazingStrider]

. . . i feel as if i'm being watched.

she is a cuddler when she's sleepy (almost like when she's drunk iykyk)

[𝖭𝖺𝗏𝗂𝗀𝖺𝗍𝗈𝗋. @BlazingStrider]

@FINALITYWRITTEN ( blink blink. she might normally turn it away, but she is quite tired, and she loves cats.... )

are you here for bedtime, too?

. . . maybe i'll go take a soak before bed... the warm water might help me sleep.

[𝖭𝖺𝗏𝗂𝗀𝖺𝗍𝗈𝗋. @BlazingStrider]

how to breathe properly for a second.

r-right... our secret. mm.. i'll remember that for, ahem. if the urge arises again...

[𝖭𝖺𝗏𝗂𝗀𝖺𝗍𝗈𝗋. @BlazingStrider]

( maybe eventually, she'd get used to nihilux's back and forth, but in her current state...

it was far too easy to have that rosy hue reaching her cheeks again. maybe it was the fact that her gaze focused in on the way nihilux's finger pressed against her lips, but she forgot

( the giggles came, soft and amused, but she managed to reign in any further tease, knowing the redhead truly enjoyed her company. it was flattering, really. it made her want to kick her feet and giggle like a schoolgirl in spring. )

good.

× given that himeko did most of the upkeep on the express herself, i do imagine that underneath her dress and jacket, she has more muscle than people realize.

she did kind of act as a mechanic as well as the navigator, so-.

. . . i certainly need a shower, hm? 💧

[𝖭𝖺𝗏𝗂𝗀𝖺𝗍𝗈𝗋. @BlazingStrider]

ah- the day really went by so quickly....

( she exited the engine car with a deep sigh, sweat slicked on her brow, her tank top stained from climbing into the engine to tighten some bolts down. even her biceps didn't remain clean, that towel around her neck properly stained. )

[𝖭𝖺𝗏𝗂𝗀𝖺𝗍𝗈𝗋. @BlazingStrider]

closing as the words really sunk in. )

well, i suppose i can't argue that... it's not so bad, making a fool of myself in front of good company. i'd usually be much more mortified, as i'm sure you know. but now, i... i guess i don't mind it as much.

[𝖭𝖺𝗏𝗂𝗀𝖺𝗍𝗈𝗋. @BlazingStrider]

( her voice was filled with so much sincerity that himeko realized she couldn't quite argue against it. it really had been a long time since she'd let loose like this, and the company could've been much worse for it...

hesitantly, she leaned into nihilux's touch, her eyes

[𝐇𝐃_𝐁𝐀𝐑_𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐓 @bIurry_qr_coIt]

so what if you made a fool of yourself? don't we all? i find it charming to see a side rarely seen by others.

( her words rang with sincerity. good or bad. the beautiful or the ugly. there was a something fascinating to seeing a different side to a person that

@MeiKerbereso ( to be honest, she hadn't expected to be served like this so suddenly, but the aroma of the coffee definitely had her not upset about the turn of events. )

mm, thank you, miss toko. i do appreciate this.

[𝖭𝖺𝗏𝗂𝗀𝖺𝗍𝗈𝗋. @BlazingStrider]

@vanitiesgamblr × don't mention it!!! also i would really like that ahhhh please it'd be so fun 😭😭

[𝖭𝖺𝗏𝗂𝗀𝖺𝗍𝗈𝗋. @BlazingStrider]

( any words she'd considered saying died in the back of her throat, nihilux's touch so gentle she almost thought she'd just imagined it at first. )

it- ahem... it did? but i've done nothing but make a fool out of myself...

( Nihilux wasn't sure what prompted her actions, but her hand moved before her mind could finally catch up, thumb brushing the dry tears staining her cheeks. )

how can i forget it when it made me happy?
