leaning in ever so slightly closer,
like a pair of magnets drawn at
each other by opposite polarities.
โ I think, we've ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ won, wouldn't
you agree . . .แฃ โ
โ
โ please, an accountant would've
just drowned by that point . โ he'd
playfully tone out. once her hair
finally made way to reveal her eyes
again, their sapphire hue almost
made his heart skip a beat.
he had never gotten such a close
look at them, they almost felt like
โMaybe an accountant wouldโve been able to counter that~โ she cooed teasingly, leaning back just enough to push her hair out of her eyes.
It was only then did she realize how close they were, and the warmth around her torso wasnโt the water but instead his arms.
โ โ
portals of their own. arms instinctively
kept their grip gently lock around her
person, he had barely realized until
her warmth had reached him alas.
and thus her query โ had she won .แฃ
โ if I'm being honest . . โ
vocals kept a low tone, meant for
her ears alone.
โ โ
โ alright alright โ you got caught
me this time . . โ or rather he caught
her. but who was he to take away her
victory and one of his own, having the
chance to hold her like this was his own
reward.
โ โ
โ .แฃ.แ โ despite his quick reaction time,
both arms wrapping around her frame
despite being taken underwater by her
sudden attack โ taking her alongside
him of course.
once they rose back up, catching a
breath before settling his gaze back
into her own.
โ โ
irises locked upon her complexion,
if she thought he hadn't noticed the
bright scarlet hue poking out each
side of her head she was gravely
mistaken.
releasing his grip only moments
before she'd opt to throw herself
straight at him.
Her lips pursed together in thought, but only for a few seconds before she answered with a low, โ.. no.โ
Again did her ears grow warm in the beginnings of a blush, but at least it didnโt spread to her face. That wouldโve been embarrassing.
โ โ
โ seriously .แฃ I'm a hunter not an
accountant โ you're gonna have
to try a liiiiittle bit harder than that . โ
and just like that, the sorceress was
trapped. no means of retaliation, or
so he believed.
โ โ
โ would it really be ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต bad if
I said I was .แฃ โ it's not as if they
were strangers after all.
they did take the time to speak
of their past struggles. he even
shared information few even knew
of. aside from his family that is.
Illyana didnโt miss the certain emphasis in that sentence, but she couldnโt help but wonder if she was understanding him correctly.
โPfft, okay. Careful with your words, Winchester, I might think youโre giving me special treatment.โ
โ โ
for her to mistake his first catch
with luck was a misunderstanding
on her part. optics observing the
small ripples she made whilst
rising her other hand gave it away
instantly.
another swift ๐ด๐ธ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฑ of his free hand
to come and catch her incoming payback.
โ
his left hand rose quickly to grab
onto her wrist, not forcefully, just
enough to put a stop to her come
back.
โ y'know, some people actually
are pretty picky when it comes
to their products . I am too โ
I just said I wouldn't have minded
if ๐จ๐๐ข used them . โ
โ โ
her apology was unnecessary,
dismissing it with a small shake
of his head before reassuring her
properly.
โ don't worry about it, besides,
you picked up after yourself .
so it's no big deal, really . โ
In the moment, she hadnโt stopped to consider why a guest bedroom was equipped with shampoos and conditioners but she probably shouldโve.
โSorry about that.โ She mumbled, feeling the tips of her ears starting to warm up in mild embarrassment.
โ โ
besides, how could he ever remain
upset when she made that face.
it had 'sorry' written all over it.
then came that signature ๐ฉ๐ช๐ด๐ด,
despite the fact he actually held
back his flick quite a bit.
when she'd try to retaliate with
one of her own, a quick ๐ฃ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ค๐ฌ*.
