[What. He stops mid-grab as it flies away from his hand, and then stares at Naoto. What kind of strange holiday tradition is that? And why did the gods decide that this was a good idea to trap people together?
Okay with a friend, that wasn't so bad but he was certain not everyone was getting stuck with people they wanted to be with! He bites his lip, looking away.]
And you think that's why we're stuck here?
[Just to double make sure.]
no subject
Jeez... this is so awkward...]
no subject
...
[He's not stupid, he sees her blushing and for a second, just thinks at how adorable she looks like that. Suddenly, he takes her into a hug, hoping that will maybe calm her nerves.]
No one should force something like that on anyone. Maybe a quick peck on the hand will do?
[It's hard to make someone feel comfortable in this situation, but he sure is trying his best.]
no subject
But she doesn't try to squirm away or anything.]
I-It's fine... [She could think of far worse people to be stuck underneath a mistletoe with. Souji would be high on her list of people she wouldn't mind... if not at the top honestly. Since she trusted him so much.]
P-Perhaps. I-I don't really know what the criteria is.
no subject
So it's okay if he just holds her a little longer.]
It's up to you, Naoto. [He won't push anything on her.]
no subject
Since he already conveniently has her so close she makes use of it, pulling back just slightly enough to grab his shirt collar and direct him closer.
And kiss him right on the lips.]
Suddenly they switched sides and finding good kissing icons was hard also sorry for slow tags
His thoughts spinning, he lowers his head a little more so that they are level with each other, hands pushing deeper around her waist and lifting her up without really thinking about it. When their lips touch, he feels his entire face flush as if on fire, and has to close his eyes from how blurred his vision becomes.
...but damn, if this doesn't feel good.]
LMAO it's all good :'D
It feels nice to kiss someone... and be kissed right back but she tries not to think about it. She's barely aware that he's lifted her up until, after a few more moments of this, she hastily breaks the contact. Her first instinct is of course to run the hell away but she can't and that's when she realizes...
Her face is flushed about as red as it can go.]
Um...
WHERE DID YOU FIND ALL THESE ICONS
I think that broke the spell.
[He moves an arm and sure enough, they appear to be free to go. The question is, will they?]
haha I MADE IT also this one
So it seems. [So her hunch was correct after all. ... She's so embarrassed right now she feels like she's about to die.
Since his arm moves she's able to squirm few of his embrace.] W-Well I'll, um... see you later. [She's two seconds away from just sprinting the hell out of here and pretending this never happened.]
these are adorable sob
W-wait! Naoto. I--[He coughs, and moves closer to her again. Not holding her this time, just leaning to her side, even that small bit of contact feeling strange. If she wants to leave, he won't stop her, but at least she needs to know;]
I really liked that.
they are i love them so
She flusters somehow worse than previously. W-Wait, what is he trying to say...?!] It... [She hesitates and swallows hard. This is too embarrassing.] I-It wasn't unpleasant. It, um... felt nice.
[Believe it or not Naoto has teenager hormones like the rest of 'em. But that definitely wasn't the point. She had kind of liked it too...]
I nearly tagged with Naoya I'm sorry
G-Good! I'm glad.
[Teenager hormones are on full overdrive and before he can stop himself, he takes one of her hands to his. Not to stop her from running away, but a feeble attempt to calm her down, even if his own heart is beating a mile a minute.]
...Do you want to do it again?
LOL
Wh-What...?
[What is he even saying?! He... wants to kiss her again? B-But....
She should probably just say no. The logical part of her brain tells her to anyway. Instead she silently nods because well... she did. Logical part of her mind protesting be damned.]
Naoto you look tiner than usual in that
...
[He can't simply do what they did last time; a repeat is one thing, but he quickly realizes he wants to lower the tension...or maybe up the ante? He's not sure anymore, maybe it's the cold air, or his mischievous streak rearing its head. Regardless, before Naoto has time to react, he grins at her before using their interlocked hand to push her closer, his other arm to grabbing her back then her neck to gently dip her.
Souji has no experience with kissing until now except for what he's read and learned, but that sure isn't stopping him.]
girl is tiny
She doesn't get much time to think about it though since he's kissing her again. Truthfully it's hard to do much when he's kissing her. Her mind sort of goes blank and she finds herself only able to concentrate on the feel of his lips against hers. ... And that sounds really strange to her but it's true. She lifts her other hand and curls her fingers into the collar of his shirt; keeping him close. Not that she thinks he'll move away right now...
She feels a little self conscious though. She definitely had no experience to speak of so she certainly can't be any good at this... but maybe it didn't matter because he seemed perfectly content to keep kissing her.]
this is the part where I run out of icons
Everything seems even more concentrated; the feeling of her fingers against his neck, the touch of her lips and skin against his, and he can't help but think how nice she smells. Heart pounding, blood racing, mind in a daze....why hadn't he realized before?
He wants this moment to last forever, frozen in time, euphoria, and comfort.
Of course he's not so stupid as to believe that would ever happen, so after a short while, Souji finally breaks their contact, gently setting her back up. Cheeks still burning hot he realizes that once again, he's not sure what to do. After facing thousands of battles, he finds himself undone and vulnerable.]
...Thank you.
[Honestly, it's the last thing he wanted to say, but he blurts it out so fast he can't stop himself from doing so.]
many many hours later. oops.
Oh, hey Naoto. Here's a cup of punch being offered to you from your kinda-sorta bodyguard friend.]
Here. Looks like this stuff isn't spiked with anything since I haven't seen anybody passed out from it yet, so it should be good to keep refreshed once in a while. [And he takes a drink from his own cup as he stands next to the small detective and glance around at the party and the other guests invited.] This place has too much high class people for my tastes... did you get in touch with your client about more info about this case yet?
\o/
[She's dressed classy in spirit of the party... though to be fair she usually dressed a little classy. Or maybe "uptight" was the better word. She chose to wore a suit if only because in this kind of a situation it was easiest. Dresses and heels were hard to move in. Not only that but such things just wasn't her style anyway.
Her gaze seems to be drawn on someone across the room for a long moment... but after a pause she finally glances up at him.]
Yes, I did. I spoke to them earlier while you were away. I'm not certain why they wanted me to attend this as a criteria for more information but it seems to have served its purpose. Of course they also told me I have to stay for a certain number of hours so I can't leave yet. [They kept their promise so... she had to keep hers. As weird as it was but this client was a family friend so such an eccentric request was all right this time.]
no subject
[Classy or no, at least Naoto knew how to fit in with the group with the formalities and proper attire. Rock, on the other hand, is... well... as formal as he can get with his own funds. He's here to be the meat shield for Naoto, so he didn't really consider the party to be something like this!
His eyes did follow her gaze at that particular 'someone' she was looking at, although he tried to hide his staring by making it look like he was gazing at everyone else that has attended to the party. And upon hearing her explanation, all he could do is give her a pat on the shoulder.]
Well, if that's how it is then it looks like we'll be around for a long night. It's all good though. I'm not in a rush to go anywhere, and when was the last time we could properly relax like this anywhere anyway? Might as well enjoy it while it lasts. [And as much as he wanted to ask what else she had spoken with the client, it'll be both a bad idea in case someone is listening and because he'd probably get lost over most of the situation. Who knows if corporate politics or family feuding is involved or what.]
Gotta admit though. Didn't think the party would be this particularly festive. Almost feels like a formal ball party than a christmas one. Then again, this is probably what the normal life is like for people on this side of the financial end.
no subject
But this wasn't the time and place for thinking about that. He was right. Simply standing here and being present would have to suffice given the importance of this case to her.]
I wouldn't say this is normal life but it certainly is a more common occurrence than it would be for normal people. [She would know. Sort of. Her grandpa would have gatherings sometimes like this in their estate and when she was little she remembered watching all the people from the upstairs balcony.
She huffs a bit.] It's too crowded in my opinion.
no subject
And by escort, I mean him placing an arm around her and gently pulled her along with him so that it would be easier to get the message.] Well, in that case, let's find somewhere that is less crowded. We just need to be in the premises of the area, right? We can find another place to take a breather at and get away from this crowd. I remember seeing a balcony free, so we can head over there to get some air. It shouldn't be too cold either, so that's also a plus.
sorry for the delay!! work sucks
Hm? Ah... yes. That would be acceptable.
[She's definitely had enough of this gathering to be honest. She wants to go home... but a deal was a deal and she follows him as he leads her away. She's grateful to be out in the fresh air once they step outside on the balcony.
She pauses awkwardly before speaking again,] Thank you.
S'all good! I know the feeling all too well with school.
[Once the cool breeze whisks by when they step out, Rock lets out a small sigh of relief now that they are free from the party crowd. He'll even let out a slight chuckle now that the feeling of freedom is starting overwhelm him.]
Good lord... after tonight, I think I'll just pick up something to eat for the two of us after this is all over. This atmosphere? Definitely not my tastes. And maybe its the drink they're serving, but I am getting pretty heated up since we've arrived.
[Whether that is actually from someone maybe spiking the punch bowl as per tradition in a party, his nervousness suddenly turn into a source of warmth, or him still having his arm around Naoto's small frame playing a part of it all... who knows. Either way, he's a lot more relaxed now that the two of them are alone.]
Thanks for bringing me along though. I know it's not exactly professional to bring in civilians and all to your case, but I do appreciate it all the same. Maybe sometime I'll take you to a party back in my hometown... well, that is if you can deal with an american atmosphere.
