"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's fingers curl at her sides, clutching and keeping her close. He exhales a long breath that doesn't shake and he rubs his nose into her neck.]

My heart's changed a little. After all, I love you now. [Soft, but earnest.]

[flaredo]

[ Yang laughs, squirming closer and nearly overwhelmed by the rush of affection that floods over her in a warm accompaniment of his words. ]

Then your heart's changed for the better. And mine too.

[masakados]

[Naoki's arm lifts slightly, the better to tuck around her, his fingers stroking the space in-between her shoulders. They curl slightly and he lifts his head, bringing his lips to her forehead.]

It was already amazing before that, too.

[She always accepts him unflinchingly...]

[flaredo]

So we both had awesome hearts, basically. [ As her eyes close, to savor the light press of his lips. ]

[masakados]

Basically. [He smiles and combs his fingers through her hair.]

...Sorry that I... [He waves a hand.] My own body freaks me out sometimes. I think I've gotten used to it, and then something else happens that makes me rethink it.

[flaredo]

And that's why you have me. [ As soft as her voice is, it's firm. ]

For the moments when you're scared.

[masakados]

You're too reliable and cool. [He sighs and pulls her closer, but his kiss that he lays against her cheek is tinged with gratitude.]

...And you know you've got me for the same.

[flaredo]

It's Unspoken Clause in the rule of relationships. Be there when you're needed.

[ So there. She'll snuggle all the fright out of him. ]

[masakados]

And even when you're not.

[He'll just add that on to the Unwritten Rule. Because it's always nice to think and realise ah, I'm not alone, even when things aren't tough.]

[flaredo]

... Yeah. Just be there in general.

[masakados]

I'll always be there for you. [He declares it so upfront...]

[flaredo]

I know you will, demon lord. [ She's never doubted that, and she turns her head for a soft kiss. ] You've never let me down.

[masakados]

[Naoki laughs softly against her lips, more of an exhale because he needs (needs) to kiss her back.]

I'll keep up that streak.

[flaredo]

Mmm. [ A throaty noise of agreement, and her hand runs over his back again. He needs to rest, but she won't force him. She'll just stay with him like this. ]
