"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?"

[ Yang doesn't look any better, released hair spilling over one shoulder and lips also parted to catch her breath as she peers at him.

... He's doing that 'irresistible' thing again. ]

[masakados]

[She looks beautiful, is how she looks, and Naoki swallows thickly on a breath in. He just looks back at her as she looks at him and it'd be awfully easy to scoop her into his lap and maybe...

But he forces his mind from that idea and gives her a shaky smile instead.]

[flaredo]

... We got a little carried away, huh?

[ But it had felt so nice. ]

[masakados]

Just a little.

[He's... pretty okay with it all the same. Even if his self-control ended up fraying a bit.

Thinking about how he'd like to just ask her to stay over, he just as quickly casts it out of his mind as he combs a hand through her hair. Her sister just got here, it's definitely not the time.]

[flaredo]

[ Maybe the next time he asks, she'll say yes. But for now-- well, she also has Ruby in mind, and her little sister will probably need her as she settles in. So she leans in, just to kiss his cheek. ]

It was fun, though.

[masakados]

[Naoki smiles, content, as she kisses his cheek and sweeps his hand in a gentle motion down over her hair and her back. He kisses her cheek in turn.]

Can I take that as a go-ahead for any getting carried aways in the future?

[flaredo]

Didn't I say that I liked it when you were impatient? [ And Yang grins at him, running her hand through his hair in a quick sweep. ]

Permission granted.

[masakados]

[Naoki's head tips to follow that quick sweep of her hand through his hair, humming appreciatively.]

You said that, but I still wanted to check. [And he's sure she'll stop him if he ever gets too impatient.]

[flaredo]

Then, O mighty demon lord, may I also have permission to overwhelm you on occasion?

[ SPOKEN SO FORMALLY. ]

[masakados]

[SNORTS.]

Permission granted, charisma queen, master of overwhelming. [Because, of course.]

[flaredo]

Oh, you haven't seen anything yet.

[ She'd crack her knuckles if she wasn't petting his hair. ]

[masakados]

...be gentle.

[(Though, no, she really doesn't have to be.)

Also please do keep patting his hair, because he looks terribly content...]

[flaredo]

I'll think about it.

[ Well, at least the hair patting is gentle. ]

[masakados]

Well... Good enough.

[Shaking his head with a grin, Naoki leans in, kissing at her chin, cheek, in soft but lingering touches.]

[flaredo]

[ Yang's sigh is warm, and she draws her legs up slightly, turning her head to return the favor. ]

I can't stay too long, but one day, you're going to have a hard time kicking me out.

[masakados]

[He'll just continue what he's doing-- dropping soft kisses on her skin, pausing only to hum in amusement.]

So... is that supposed to sound like a bad thing?

[flaredo]

It was supposed to be threatening, but I guess I failed.

[ Yang, you didn't even try. It doesn't help that the soft kisses are relaxing her way too much; she's getting heavy-lidded. ]

[masakados]

It sounded way too nice to work as threatening.

[Naoki's chuckling, sound as soft as the brushes of his lips, though he pulls back slightly to see her expression. Cute. The pad of his thumb strokes idly across her cheek.]

[flaredo]

... Mm. [ And she tilts her head towards his thumb, expression growing drowsily thoughtful. ]

I'll totally punch you in the face if you try to kick me out next time. Better?

[masakados]

[He refrains from telling her that, with that sleepy look, there's no way that could sound threatening. He lets his thumb follow her tilting head, smiling.]

Better. I'll make sure I'm prepared next time you're over. [But, this said:] Am I putting you to sleep, Yang?

[flaredo]

Yes, you jerk.

[ There is absolutely no heat in that statement. ]

[masakados]

Yep, it's pretty terrible of me, [with a snicker.

He pecks a kiss to her lips before he leans back with a pretty self-satisfied look... So soft kisses and attention work for making her drowsy too. Noted.]

[flaredo]

[ Only when she's already tired, don't get any ideas, Naoki!

... And if he is, she's just going to reach over and wriggle her fingers against his stomach. DON'T GET SMUG, YOU. ]

[masakados]

Guah--

[Squawking, Naoki squirms at once, backward out of range because noooo, no tickling, let him have a smug moment. They're rare!]

[flaredo]

[ Nope, this smug moment is ALL HERS. Look at her, lounging back like a queen. ]

You looked a little droopy yourself. [ No, he didn't. ] Wide awake now?
