I think if you had, we might've been the center of attention preeeeeetty quickly.
[ Not that she would have minded, but this side of Naoki is something she's okay with keeping for herself. She's also humming encouragingly as his hand moves-- seriously, she'd never known she'd like his touch this much. ]

And that right there's why I didn't do it.
[It worked out. After all, he gets to be this close to her now without worrying about looks or attention from anyone--besides Yang, of course, whose attention he wants all of. He nuzzles right under one of her ears, giving it a playful nip.]

[She'll hear Naoki's sharply indrawn breath next to her ear, but he doesn't move, either-- He can feel warmth gathering quickly under where she touches, aware of her as he is.]
Whoops. [One day, that'll go right to his head.] I'll try to tone it down.

In public, at least. [ She almost sounds huffy, even as she learns the sweeping lines of this particular tattoo, mapping it with her fingers distractedly. She can hear the effect it has on him-- and she's growing to enjoy it, even though she'll keep the touching fairly light, chaste. ]
Do you have any idea how hard it was not to do anything to you tonight?

[Naoki's laugh next to her ear is thin, breathy, and the skin under her fingers trembles minutely as she traces it. Though light, it leaves that electric feeling and lingering heat.]
...Mm-mm. [His head moves in a tiny shake.] Were you trying not to drag me off somewhere too?
[Naoki'd thought about it.]

I'd like to be. [Sincere, as he looks back to her eyes, but there's a tinge of uncertainty in his expression. Though he's given Yang his full trust, that's still difficult yet with others.
He wants to change that bit about himself, but he-- still can't quite--]

[His chin lifts a little, but his expression relaxes. He tightens his arms around her thankfully.] ...Okay.
I still feel kinda bad about it sometimes, that's all.
[That mix of wanting to be friends with someone, being friends with someone, and yet not trusting them completely, unable to discard memories of what'd happened when he had.]

[Naoki's eyes close gradually, his face tipping slightly into her palms. He's his own worst critic, when it comes down to things of the past.] Mm... [But he nods.]
I just remember when it used to be easy. [He cups his hand at the back of one of hers, turning his face to kiss her palm.] But, I won't rush it.

Got it. [Naoki sighs softly in contentment, and he's smiling when he looks at her face.] I wouldn't ever forget it.
[He slides his hand up her side, up her arm in a warm, firm sweep to cup at her cheek and draw her in close, until their noses graze.]

[His palm slides along her cheek, slow, taking his time to trace, also like he wants to let his feelings seep through somehow.]
I'll remember that, too. [Naoki smiles to her mouth and curves his hand to the back of her neck, drawing her in to kiss her again.]
