"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?"
[He sets his hands at the bottom of his shirt, pulling it off over his head with an easy twist. Normally, it'd probably be a good show, with the flex of muscle underneath his tattoos but right now it's undermined by the POOF of dust originating from his shirt.
Naoki coughs, flapping his hand.] I think Inugami rubbed all his dust off on me when I found him.
A very dirty, loving dog. [At least the rest of him isn't so dusty now! He steps out of his jeans and stands there self-consciously in his boxers as he peers into the mirror to see if there's any more dust lodged in his hair.]
Well, he's definitely one of the few of my demons who's okay with being like an animal.
[ But she's moving up to him from behind, winding her arms around him and leaving a kiss on his back. A nearly-naked boyfriend shouldn't be neglected, she feels. ]
I think you could take some confidence lessons from him, actually... [ As her eyes meet his in the mirror, she smiles and tightens her arms around him. ]
That's not just confidence, that's crazy overconfidence. You shouldn't be trying to get me to follow his example. [His smile widens and his fingers reaffirm their grip on her arm before sliding, taking one of her hands into his own.
Maybe just a little? [ She's relaxed with him, not an ounce of resistance as he slips her glove off. She'll even be so thoughtful as to offer him the other one. ]
Hm-- [It's easy to get distracted, peeling off her gloves. It's nice, intimate and relaxing, and he catches her hand in one of his own to rub his thumb over her palm.]
Weeeell... [ drawling it out, as she moves her head again to speak against his back (markings and all) and her fingers curl towards his thumb ] Once your own confidence kicks in, you're fine.
[ She'll give him an affectionate squeeze (and a parting shot for the hip bones, hope those aren't ticklish) before she steps back and strikes a dramatic, languishing pose. ]
Oh no, I'm trapped in my clothes! If only I had a strong, brave hero to free me!!
[They totally are ticklish, given his jump, but not a word. He turns around to look at her and snorts.]
So this is your confidence boosting... [He trails off significantly, as though he's going to say something else, but:] Works for me. One strong, brave hero incoming.
Oof. Hit me harder right where it hurts, why don't you. [Just grind your fist against his bruises or something!! Naoki tosses her shirt off over his shoulder, shaking his head.]

[He just swings his hand over casually to slide his fingers into hers.] That's for the best. But, hey. You're just helping me clean up, it's all fine.
[Totally innocent. So off to the bathroom they go.]
action;
Yep, just cleaning.
[ Ahoooy. ]
action;
I've got a loooot of dust on me.
[Into the bathroom they go.]

[ Peering at the top of his head. That sure is a layer of dust... ]
Okay, demon lord, clothes off.

Don't mind him. He'll just peel off her glove.]

Is that really just a little?

If you want to...

[JACKET FIRST]
action;
Oh thank you, kind sir!
[ What a ham. ]
action;
[Such a ham. He can't stop snickering, pushing off her jacket and okay, shirt next.]
