i do. ——- but you neednt worry so much. ( their eyes scrunch within their smile. ) … im a very willing person, and i really dont see anything it entails becoming an issue.
⠀
⠀
◌ ( her lips press together in thought, centering her composure with deep breaths. )
… well. ahem… i know that you’re highly intelligent. you know what this entails for the both of us as of right now, right…?
⠀
⠀
heh. someone figured it out, hm? ^^ ( ❕… theres a gleam at the acknowledgment of said spark of realization, and lighthearted laughter follows suit. ) ——- id certainly like that, if its alright with you.
⠀
⠀
◌ yes, well… i wasn’t so concerned of whether or not your hands were good to be in…
( then, it’s as if something clicked, their expression visibly showing a sudden realization. ) w-w-wait, are we— is this— you— /courtship?/
( seems like her brain skipped some steps. duh. )
⠀
⠀
( a gentle squeeze to the hand they hold. it opts as reassurance, the least that they could offer. ) … my intuition tells me that you have nothing to fear. ✨
⠀
⠀
⠀
⠀
oh, … are you asking if ive been in a relationship before? i have. though i wouldnt concern yourself to much with things of that sort. regardless, ——- i do have experience in this kind of thing. ^^ i think youre in good hands ❕ ⇥
⠀
⠀
◌ ( they could probably melt into a little puddle and evaporate in the sun right now. there’s no private corner to escape that piercing emerald gaze— it’s got her pinned in place, despite how wobbly her legs are. )
i-i— yes, i see… —
⠀
⠀
( awe. its got a dumb grin on, but when doesnt it? lifting her hand to press a brief kiss to the back of the hand that they hold. ) ^^ … well ——- i could infer as much. though i dont believe thats anything to be too embarrassed about, really.
⠀
⠀
◌ ( as if to hammer it home, her face lights up yet again. touché. )
n-no… besides, i serve as the divine priestess. kissing and relationships— well, they aren’t very high up on the list of pious imagery associated with that, are they?
⠀
⠀
——- well. 🎵 … you turn this REALLY bright shade of red. i think its quite the sight, myself! ( hehe. scooping one of their hands into his own. ) ——- have you not kissed anyone before, miss kokomi? ^^
⠀
⠀
⠀
⠀
( a bordering dumbfounded blink, nearly caught off guard. KEYWORD: nearly. itd be pretty lame if word of that got out. 😅 ) ——- yeah. ^^ … i enjoy the reaction it gets out of you. a bit silly, isnt it?
⠀
⠀
⠀
⠀
( okay. OK! ——- to be fair it was only a matter of time before they got back at them, a small bout of a rebuttal before the gesture is given into something more gentle. in which case, would it be greedy of them to admit that it already missed her touch? ) ⇥
⠀
⠀
◌ ( with a huff, she reaches up to pinch its cheek — with hardly any bite — but flinches back at their own impulsive action. she doesn’t go around touching anyone, and yet… )
( as if smoothing down a fold in a sheet, she replaces the pinch with a gentle brush of the back —
⠀
⠀
❕ ——- there it is! …now, that wasnt too hard, was it? ( hands at their own hips, its as if they reign triumphant. ) … yes for the ‘ totally not accidental totally all one hundred percent purposeful ’ kiss. ^^
⠀
⠀
⠀
⠀
heh. ——- you caught me … dare i say red—handed ❔ ( bah. scratching behind its ear to play along, they pry just a bit further. ) … i didnt hear that, speak up a little?
⠀
⠀
◌ you— i’d say you’re being cheeky, but i think you’re well aware of how you come off. ( and how cute they are doing it. )
—- ahem. um… i’ve never actually participated in anything like… this. but if i’ll do, then.
.
.
.
( quietly ) yes.
⠀
⠀
( triumphant, following pups look of defeat. though a few moments into said triumphant pose, they reach to press up on his shoulders, up up up! ) ——- on the contrary, my dear general. … what good comes from hiding things from me ❔^^
