"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?"
[Naoki starts laughing, pulling her by the hand to encourage her closer-- so that he can drop a kiss to her cheek, and then lift up their hands to kiss her fingers.]
action;
[ Hang on Naoki, she's just going to unceremoniously SCOOP YOU UP. ]
I'm walking my boyfriend home, so I'll be back tomorrow! [ YANG AWAAAAAY. ]
action;
This isn't walking me home...
action;
[ Quite easily, and rather pleased because look how red he is-- ]
action;
You can walk easier when you're not carrying me.
action;
But I like keeping you close like this. [ Try again, Naoki. ]
action;
[Well now he just sounds pathetic.]
action;
When you stop sulking, I'll put you down.
action;
[WITH DIGNITY... but he's mollified by the kiss to his cheek and it shows.]
action;
[ Cutely, but still. ] Besides, I owe you for the time you carried me.
action;
Nah, you totally could've let that one go.
action;
[ but she'll set him down. ]
action;
Now they're fair, right?
action;
[ Be prepared. ]
action;
[Does he need to watch out for her going to scoop him up abruptly...]
action;
[ Yes, that's what they're calling it. ]
action;
[Dryly.
Naoki's arm sways, hand catching at hers. See, they can't hold hands while she's got him lifted up.]
action;
So, am I walking you home?
action;
That is what you said. [But, after a moment,] I'd like that, too.
action;
[ Complete with dorky sweeping bow. ]
action;
Then, escort away, chauffeur.
action;
[ But she's laughing, giving his hand a tug as she takes the lead. ]
action;
[AS SERIOUSLY SAID AS POSSIBLE. Even if he himself thinks it's supremely lame the moment it leaves his mouth.]
action;
[ Yeah, Yang's suddenly laughing so hard she's nearly doubled over. ]
T-that's the word for it!
action;
...Well, his goal had been to make her laugh so he sure succeeded. Doesn't mean he doesn't feel his cheeks starting to heat up...]
action;
Well, I can't say I don't like your confidence level... [ that was beautiful. ]
