a tiny yelp escapes the blonde when she’s embraced, her mind momentarily short-circuited. her arms eventually reciprocate the act, hugging rover closer to her while her head rest on the crook of his neck.
the question was held off from being asked since a long time ago, ++
Hearing her words, his hands had quickly moved down to her hips while he immediately embraced her inside of a hug.
❝ I’ll be happy to keep you here for a while, I’m perfectly fine with keeping you near me for as long as possible. No homework is getting done today. ❞
( + )
maybe it is just her and her instincts from the olden days, but. . . she can feel eyes on her, and it’s making anxiety bubbling in her chest.
so she stops on her track, looking around in hope of noticing something. anything that helps quelling that tightness in her heart.
“nope, nope. not gonna have that, teach,” her head shakes as she carefully approaches delphin, ready to catch him if things went south. “let’s see if the infirmary can help us.”

" And this, my son/daughter, is how I met your momma "
It's not exactly the most romantic way, but it sure left an impact—especially on my back, but that's beyond the point.
⠀
“pretty sure that’s how a relationship works,” the snort parts her lips suddenly but naturally, fond amusement twinkling in violet eyes. “but yeah, you’re right. we’re perfect like this.”
that. . . came out a little more romantic than she intended it to be. nonetheless, ++
❝ as long as you’re comfortable, I am comfortable after all both of us enjoy each other‘s company, right? ❞
Rover was a gentle person especially when it came to conversation.
++ “not gonna leave if it’s gonna be you, rover,” the admission is vulnerable in nature, hence her unusual soft cadence. “you would have left also if you were uncomfortable with me. we’re even now, right .ᐣ“
unfortunately, rover was very much correct. lynae would have stepped out if something truly discomfort her, and right now .ᐣ she’s in a secret state of bliss, and hell will turn cold before she will vocalize that. . . but he can probably tell anyway.
the blonde sighs. ++

her shoulders now while he smiled softly at the woman: she was beautiful even when she was hopelessly embarrassed.
❝ hostage? You can always step away when you feel like it ! ❞
++ and yet, she can’t help but wanting more. more. 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 of his touch. 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 of his addictive tenderness.
“but this is you holding me hostage .ᐟ now i’m under your mercy, so unfair .ᐟ“
likewise, lynae’s own cheeks are matching the shade of ripe tomatoes right now, as much as she tries to swallow down the embarrassment. having lived a life full of hardships and rough edges, to be treated so tenderly like this. . . it scares her a little.
++
Rover couldn’t help but feel his cheeks begin to heat up due to her sudden touch however, his hands slowly slide down her face and right down to her shoulders.
❝ you hold me gently and I’ll hold you gently that’s how this works Lynae. ❞
He was just teasing !
