"Heeey, you've reached Yang! Well, actually, you didn't reach far enough, 'cause I'm not here right now! But don't yang up! Just leave a message on this baby, and I'll get back to you soon enough, okay?"

[ Please specify VOICEMAIL, TEXT or CALL. ]

[Good, settle on into his couch-- Naoki returns soon enough, trying not to smile at her in his sweater, holding one of the mugs that he's carrying handle-out to her.] Little warmer?

[He's gonna settle in next to her anyway. He's about as warm a heater as you could ask for.]

[Still is what his raised eyebrow is saying. She had to be more than a bit chilly. But ah well, he'll take a sip from his mug too.]

Favour?

[...Nope, in this moment, he's completely forgotten about that one.]
masakados: dns (you make me wanna go harder)

--oh, that favour.

[He hides a slight blush in a sip from his mug, turning his head juuust slightly to another side. He didn't think she remembered that--no, well, he didn't even remember it then, but he definitely didn't think she was about to take him up on it seriously...]

[Well, she has a point.

A point that makes Natalia cross her arms, more defensive than aggressive as her fingers curl around her own arm, even as she gives Yang a sheepish smile.]


It has since been mended and he has accepted me as his daughter and the princess again--

.... I suppose it's still just something that's hard to forget.

Shin-Ah mostly seems to worry about me but not so much as to what he says to me...

[which is admittedly ideal but s t i l l ]

[With dignity:]

I never said that. I don't wanna go back on it now. [Which means he wants to... secretly.

Being close sounds nice right now, after all of that. Even if he feels self-conscious and very...aware at the thought, he tries to force those feelings away. It'll be fine so long as he doesn't think too much about it.]

I will. I believe in your ability to be patient for-- a cuddle.

[Naoki laughs into his mug, drinking from it again.]
masakados: (even though i’ve realized the truth)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-30 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I've noticed. In-between the times when we're trying to punch each other.

[But, he doesn't take long to finish off the cocoa. Leaning forward, Naoki sets his empty mug on the table.]
masakados: (you're so crazy in the head)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-31 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks for noticing.

[Grinning in turn. But no, don't leave the next move up to him! He's watching her out of the corner of his eye. But, once her mug is down, he aims a sideways smile her way. And then he holds open an arm in offering. C'mere.]

[Naoki can feel a small lump in his throat as she tucks herself closer, under his arm, and curls it around her, hoping his smile looks the same as usual. His palm rests on her back as he turns slightly toward her, bringing them closer together.

This is totally fine. It feels pleasant and comfortable, and his heart's not beating really hard, it's just hugging Yang.]
masakados: (something to prove)

[The prettiest girl he's ever met--

Naoki laughs and hopes desperately she can't feel how hard his heart is beating when she rests her hand against his chest.]


Can't say I was. It's not usually on my agenda.
masakados: (so you’re the ones)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-31 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[She's definitely not imagining it, he can't calm down no matter how many times he reminds himself they've been plenty touchy in the past--

Naoki glances down to meet her eyes with a blink, a thoughtful frown.]


I... think I will. [Now, after he's gotten a chance to calm down, to talk things out with her.] I'll try, anyway.
masakados: (understanding)

[personal profile] masakados 2015-03-31 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Naoki laughs a little.]

Well, I don't need to sleep that much. And... [His hand smooths an absent circle over her back.] I haven't been able to completely shake how vulnerable it is, even if it's different here.
