I was covering my face...

[ doesn't even try for the Extremely Dignified tone, just sounds sheepish. and pleased. his nose is definitely scrunched up, but his eyebrows aren't furrowed ]

[levelheadless]

Well, my hand's here now. Do you want it gone?

[rubs that thumb up between his unfurrowed brows]

[was_no_monster]

[ huff. shifting his grip on Rille's wrist because yes, he did just leave his hand there ]

No—

[ aaand that sudden silence is the sound of a man metaphorically walking face-first into an objective ]

[levelheadless]

Kaito? I can't see you, what is it?

[strokes his fingers down the side of Kaito's cheek]

[was_no_monster]

[ his breathing actually stutters before he forces himself to breathe evenly ]

...Sorry. I set off an objective.

[levelheadless]

Should I stop?

[was_no_monster]

... Give me a minute?

[levelheadless]

[flops onto his back, shuffling over]

[was_no_monster]

[ slides off of his legs and just. lies there, face pressed into the mattress. why ]

[levelheadless]

[folds his hands on his stomach, waiting patiently]

[was_no_monster]

[ sulks like that for about a minute, then huffs and lifts his head ]

Mnnf. I think I'm all right.

[levelheadless]

Did it upset you?

[was_no_monster]

No, I'm only embarrassed. That could have been better timed.

[levelheadless]

I don't mind it. I don't mean that in a flirtatious way, just... [shrugs] It's okay?

[was_no_monster]

I mind.

[ muttering ] ...I get overwhelmed easily, so...

[levelheadless]

You need some cold water or something?

[was_no_monster]

[ lsdkvrb. rolling back over to lean against Rille's side ]

No, I'm all right.

[levelheadless]

I won't judge. It happens.

[not touching him again yet, hasn't been given permission]
