[kings-are-speaking] - Ryan surprised Kairi with a visit, appearing in front of her with a gentle grin and arms behind his back. He wore his usual get up but it was obvious he spent more time getting ready than normal. He looked at her, his girlfriend, the one he was spending more and more time with. His cheeks warmed and he quickly cleared his throat and spoke. "Hello, Tulip!" He fumbled with the object he held, but kept his smile up.

Kairi expression warms considerably at the sight of her love, her gaze twinkling happily. She gasps, this was quite a lovely surprise! She quickly places her palms on his shoulders and stretches on to the tips of her toes. With a slightly audible noise, she plants a kiss on his cheek. Her heels touch back to the ground and she flashes a brilliant smile. She had not realized that today was her birthday, but she was still beyond happy to see her beloved.

"Hello, love!" Her hand were still on his shoulder when she noticed him fumbling with something behind his back. The only clue that she had noticed was a brief flicker of her gaze, "To what do I owe the pleasure?" Her smile widened a bit.

His cheek tingled at the affectionate gesture, closing his eyes automatically on impact. He’s gonna have to get used to the way it makes him feel.

“Well, it’s your birthday and,” a wide box was circled around to his front to show her, “I wasn’t going to show up empty handed.”

The box was a plain white color with a lilac bow tied around, but what really mattered what was inside. “This-This is only half of the gift, though”

Inside was the dress he made for her, the one he promised to make. He knew her birthday was coming up and decided that was the perfect time to give it to her, so he stepped up the time and worked many all-nighters on it. It cost him a lot of sleep but it was totally worth it on how it came out. The length of it reached her ankles and was a beige color all round. The sleeves were lace that would hug the edge of her shoulders and went all the way down until her wrists. The dress had a sweetheart neckline and a natural waist flow. It should wrap around her figure but allow free movement with the slit on the skirt on the left side.

He hoped that she would like it, as she did give him almost all free reign to do whatever he wanted with it. He tried to make it simple but beautiful, and he found himself wanting to see what it looked like on her. He held the box to her.

“Happy birthday, Kairi”

[kings-are-speaking]

He was finishing up the bottom part of her when she spoke again, this time her voice much more drawn out. It made him look up and take a double take on the intensity her eyes were as they trapped his in their gaze. He was caught off guard at the look, and his adams apple bobbed when he gulped. He stood up to finish whatever measurements he’d missed, including his arms, but his movements were much more shaky and flustered. He quietly told her to raise her arms to her side, making sure to do a precise job but rushing to finish.

He wrote the last number and he was finished, gulping once more and found himself wanting to look in her eyes again, doing just so when he moved his head away from the now filled paper.

[silver-rose-notpirates]

Kairi inhales slowly, but her blood won’t stop singing, won’t stop pounding in her ears. Her eyes are open and waiting patiently as their breath mingles and his hand cups to back of his head, underneath her ponytail. A blush, present due to how searingly hot she was, stained her cheeks. His eyes opened soft and tender, making her breath catch. Her throat felt swollen with emotion and she swallowed only to find her mouth dry. Then a beautiful smile spread on his face and she felt an equally happy smile spread to own features. A breathy chuckle bubbled it’s way out, out of sheer glee in the situation.

Breath continuing to fan over his features she pulls her hand from his hair to rub a thumb over his cheek, she watches it for only moment, before they slid back to his beautiful soft eyes.

“I came up with an idea, for clothing…” Her breath is heavy and rides on a whisper, only loud enough for him to hear, despite them being the only two in the closed room. “A dress, any color, and form fitting with beautiful sleeves. When it’s done I can wear it to our first official date.”

[kings-are-speaking]

He listened to her words, only slightly coming out of the euphoria he was in as she spoke. Her voice was like a lullaby at this point: soft, sweet, and wanting to hear more of it. Still, he listened and was entranced, expression only becoming softer, no where on his face showing his usual looks. He already agreed in his head before she even finished speaking, only becoming numbly shocked at the end of it in the best way possible.

“Deal, but only…only if I get to call you my girlfriend on that date.” His lips were still slightly swollen from the intense kiss they had, and when he talked for the first time it left his lips tingling. He smiled at what he said, not breaking eye contact with the girl he wanted to become official with.

[silver-rose-notpirates]

Kairi watched him closely trying catch his reaction to her words and was pleasantly surprised went his expression only softened further. A smile started to grow on her features and then her heart leapt into her throat.

He… He what? Her blush darkened by at least three shades and her intake of breath was sharp. He wanted to… what? A full second passed before it sunk in and by the time it did, she realized her eyes were stinging. She breathed out slowly, trying to keep any tears from falling, but it was a useless attempt. A watery laugh came from her flushed lips as a stray tear rolled down her face.

“Yes, of course,” She flashed him a beautifully happy smile, that was not in the slightest bit deterred by her watery eyes.

[kings-are-speaking]

He watched the tears fall and realized that tears of his own were in his eyes, watery enough to make his eyes glossy but not enough for tears to fall. He let out a small laugh, followed by a louder one as he pulled her into a hug, squishing her body against his, one hand on her hand and the other around her waist. He was just going to get her measurements done, how had it moved on to this? What made Kairi want to kiss him so suddenly? He shrugged off the questions soon enough, just happy that it led to this. This happy moment that he was going to be thinking about for weeks- months. Honestly, once this was done he is going to wonder what she sees in him, but right now he was just too happy to think that. 

Kairi was his girlfriend. 

Ryan seemed to grin wider at the thought.

[silver-rose-notpirates]

Kairi squeaked out a sharp laugh as he swooped her into a tight embrace, her smile bright and her chest tight with heavy emotion. This time, she felt loved and the feeling flooded her every sense. She sighed and nuzzled into his chest, feeling so happy, so content. Hers arms reached around his neck, to pull herself closer making it so that her toes barely touched the ground. She flushed darkly as she was reminded of leaning up to kiss him, reminded that he was tall.

Kairi’s heart was once again beating wildly, but a lopsided smile grew on her face.

Her head tilted up to look at him, her eyes reflecting happiness and content.“I really want to kiss you again,” Their first kiss as an official couple sounded far too enticing for her, far too perfect.

[kings-are-speaking]

His body was steadily declining in the burning heat it was in, but still stayed warm in their embrace. He was all too content to stay where they were for however long they wanted, but he pulled back upon hearing her wish.

He looked down at her, feeling as if his skin were glowing. His lips lifted in a small smile, lifting his hand from her hand and redirecting it to place on her chin, the grip soft but firm. He inclined his head, lips capturing hers in a soft brush of the lips before fully placing them on hers. It was short and sweet, pulling away before they can go any deeper.

“I wanted to kiss you again, too.”

[silver-rose-notpirates]

Kairi did as he asked quietly, she knew in the back of her mind that he had caught her gaze and the intensity behind it, but her mind was fogged. Filled with him.

His eyelashes, his cheekbones, his jaw.

Her arms lowered again when he moved away.

His shoulders, his hands.

Kairi’s eyes shot back up to his face as he turned, her head tilting.

His-

“Ryan?” Her mouth was moving before her mind could even second guess its decision, her eyes slid back to his gaze, “Can I kiss you?

-lips.

[kings-are-speaking]

It wasn’t just his heart that froze, it was his soul. He stared at her, not breathing, not moving, but at the same time wanting to relax and enter her arms and never leave. His arms were limp by his sides, yet he felt as if his body wanted to flail them all over the place, never wanting to stop moving, stop fidgeting. All too soon the breath was forced out of him, his breath not helping in cooling his warming body.

This…This is the second time she’s asked and this time, this time he wanted to. He looked down at her lips, moving to her eyes and back down, but not making a move to initiate. It was like he was frozen, and that’s when he knew he wasn’t able to start it.

So, with a shaky breath and shaking body, he nodded, eyes once more going to her lips and staying there.

[silver-rose-notpirates]

Kairi’s lips immediately pulled into a soft smile as he nodded and her feet gladly carried her steps. One, two, three steps and her chest was pressed against his. Her hands slid up to his neck, fingertips in his hair and splayed across his cheeks, and time felt slow as her toes stretched to bring her closer.

Cheeks flushed, her half-lidded eyes glanced down to his lips, before settling back on his intense gaze; A gaze on fire with emotion. Now, it was her turn to shake, anxiety bubbling in the depths of her stomach. Kairi licked her lips to quell the sensation. He had said yes. He had nodded. She reminded herself, the man she loved… wanted to kiss her. Warmth exploded in her chest at that revelation and then, like time had commenced as normal… her lips were pressed against his. The kiss was soft and gentle, but filled with every emotion that she hadn’t yet described out loud. Her heart beat loud and hard in her ears as she melted against him.

Against Ryan.

[kings-are-speaking]

His heart was beating wildly against his chest, so sure she felt it once she was on it, so flush against him. He couldn’t blush, he couldn’t move, only let her touch him where she wanted. They looked into each others eyes and, while his body was frozen, his eyes spoke of desires he couldn’t explain. And like that, her lips were on his and it was a rush of movement.

He breathed a deep inhale through his nose, his body only now responding as his shoulders rose up and his hands automatically did the same, but stayed in the air as if they didn’t know where to go. The urge to flail them amplified, but in the end they ended up lightly taking hold of her upper arms, touch soft and gentle.

Her lips were soft, the kiss even softer, but he heard it. Barely, but the distant feeling was there that he couldn’t quite grasp, feelings she felt but he himself didn’t understand yet. All it took was a whisper, however, and his feelings rushed like a wave and he was kissing her in fevor, head tilting down more for easier access. 

[silver-rose-notpirates]

Kairi hums in surprise as he tilts his head presses more firmly into her lips, more passionately. Like the waves in a ocean, heat trails up her body coating her in fire. Her head tilts to the side in response to his actions and she returns his fevor just as passionately. Her fingertips dive into his hair and her toes extend even further, trying to get closer to him. Needing to get closer. Her lips move against his heatedly, but with heavy reluctance she pulls away, needing deeper inhales than what her nose can provide. She does not move far though, and her eyes open enough to see his expression through the haze over her mind. The words are on her tongue, but she won’t. Not yet. She leans forward and instead of immediately diving for his lips, she kisses chin and then the corners of his mouth. Then presses another kiss to his lips, but only after her brief peppering.

[kings-are-speaking]

Her fingers mess up and shift his hair but he can’t seem to care right now, bending his torso to get as close as she was. Their lips were warm and needy now, like they’ve been deprived of something they’ve wanted and in a way, were. There was a dull ache that left him wanting more when Kairi pulled away, a gasp leaving his lips as she did so. She was so close that their lips continued to brush against each other, their breaths fanning each others face. He kept his eyes closed, still too into the moment to get them to open. He felt her move and when he thought she was going back, he found in surprise when her lips connected to his chin, the feeling delicate and tingly. Next was the corner of his mouth and he couldn’t help but think even now she was teasing him, almost causing him to smile. Her lips met back with his, Ryan not taking a moment to kiss back, their once soft kiss turned passionate.

[silver-rose-notpirates]

Kairi melts against him once more, this time he was leading the kiss and it made a surprised shiver run up her spine. She felt completely at his mercy and found that, while usually it would make her uncomfortable, with Ryan it felt perfect. Every movement she committed to memory, every breath he made, every time his grip on her arms fluctuated. Even the way she knew, that he was just as clouded as she was, if not more so.

Kairi wanted to drown in everything him, but it was because of that… that she pulled away, not quite as a abruptly as the last time. This time she pulled away slowly with chaste kisses that were a result of her own longing for him. She swallowed, trying to bring some kind of clarity back to her thoughts. Her forehead leaned against his and one of her hands slid down to rest near his sternum, her other hand gently unconsiously twirled and played with a strand of his hair. She could feel his heart beating wildly underneath her palm, it made her’s skip a beat.

[kings-are-speaking]

Ryan was loving every minute of this. He had a quick thought of doing this sooner, but tossed it away once he realized that it wouldn’t be as perfect as this if they had done this at an earlier date. It was perfect, everything about it. He was beginning to feel hyper touched, starting to get aware wherever she was touching all too feverishly when she pulled away in short, sweet kisses that in the end made him impatient for future ones.

Their foreheads touched and he found out just how hot he felt, breaths ragged and clothing stuffy. His heart was going too fast and he heavily closed his eyes to try to stop it. His hand finally moved from its place and reached up to cup the back of Kairi’s head, keeping her there. He couldn’t speak, and he was still rooted to his spot, but he still wanted to be in close contact with her. 

He opened his eyes, look much softer now, gazing into her own with a tender touch to it. Slowly, as if he still couldn’t believe all that just happened, a dashing smile lit up his face, that pink blush he always had on once more adorning his cheeks.

[kings-are-speaking]

He was finishing up the bottom part of her when she spoke again, this time her voice much more drawn out. It made him look up and take a double take on the intensity her eyes were as they trapped his in their gaze. He was caught off guard at the look, and his adams apple bobbed when he gulped.

He stood up to finish whatever measurements he’d missed, including his arms, but his movements were much more shaky and flustered. He quietly told her to raise her arms to her side, making sure to do a precise job but rushing to finish.

He wrote the last number and he was finished, gulping once more and found himself wanting to look in her eyes again, doing just so when he moved his head away from the now filled paper.

[silver-rose-notpirates]

Kairi did as he asked quietly, she knew in the back of her mind that he had caught her gaze and the intensity behind it, but her mind was fogged. Filled with him.

His eyelashes, his cheekbones, his jaw.

Her arms lowered again when he moved away.

His shoulders, his hands.

Kairi’s eyes shot back up to his face as he turned, her head tilting.

His-

“Ryan?” Her mouth was moving before her mind could even second guess its decision, her eyes slid back to his gaze, “Can I kiss you?

-lips.

[kings-are-speaking]

It wasn’t just his heart that froze, it was his soul. He stared at her, not breathing, not moving, but at the same time wanting to relax and enter her arms and never leave. His arms were limp by his sides, yet he felt as if his body wanted to flail them all over the place, never wanting to stop moving, stop fidgeting. All too soon the breath was forced out of him, his breath not helping in cooling his warming body.

This...This is the second time she’s asked and this time, this time he wanted to. He looked down at her lips, moving to her eyes and back down, but not making a move to initiate. It was like he was frozen, and that’s when he knew he wasn’t able to start it.

So, with a shaky breath and shaking body, he nodded, eyes once more going to her lips and staying there.

A few days had passed since Ryan had seen Kairi, the last time being the pillow fight that turned into a romantic nap together. Now, he was on their ship again to fulfill a promise made by him, in his hands his bag full of equipment. The brunette looked around, the cool breeze combing through his hair and brushing it to the side. Ryan greeted the crew members as he passed before he set down the path to Kairi’s room, gently knocking on the open door as a way to gain her attention. He smiled at her when she turned to him.

“I’m here to finally start working on your designs like we talked about. I’ll mostly just need your measurements today, then later if you want we can discuss what you’d like to be made”

[silver-rose-notpirates]

Kairi had just finished replacing her bow string when a soft knock echoed through her room. She blinked and set it down, well it wasn’t anyone in the crew because they would have simply entered. She shook her head softly and pulled the door open, pleasantly surprised when a handsome face met her eyes. A wide grin grew on her face, happy to see him and his own smile made her insides melt as his words sunk in. She stepped aside to allow him entree.

“I’m glad you came by and not just because I finally get something made by you.” Her smile widened as she shut the door behind him.

Kairi’s room was simply put together and mostly a soft blue with white paneling on the walls. The only decoration being the framed, and bolted down, picture of her siblings and her weapons on the walls. The assortment included everything she put on her person before leaving the ship.

She turned and quirked an eyebrow at the tall brunette, “Now uhm, where do you need me, for the measurements?”

[kings-are-speaking]

He entered, taking a quick look around to note what her room looked like, before setting his gaze back on her. “Well, I sure hope it’s not just ‘cause of that” He joked, moving and setting his bag down on her bed and zipping it open. 

Taking out a notepad, he flipped multiple times, almost going to the end before it revealed a blank, clean page free of little scribbles and crossed out designs. He once more entered the bag, this time getting a singer, unfolding it before setting it next to his notepad. He turned back to the woman waiting, hearing her question. 

“You can just stand there” He answered, pointing to the space diagonally of him that was free of space.

While she walked there, he picked up his notepad and, getting a pencil, wrote down her name on the top, smiling at the prospect of finally making something for his crush. Whatever she wanted, it was going to be something he was going to work extra hard on, that was for sure.

[silver-rose-notpirates]

Kairi chuckled a bit as he joked with her before turning to walk where he gestured her footsteps not making much sound since she was bare foot. She spun on her heel to face him as he wrote down, what appeared to be her name at the top of the page.

“You know, I think I may also like seeing your handsome face.” She teased with a sly smile, as she waited patiently for him to come over, her thumbs hooking into the front of her sweatpants.

[kings-are-speaking]

His grip tightened on his book and a blush settled in, clearing his throat as he dodged the interaction, forcing his blush to go away as he focused on the task at hand.

“Well, let’s get started, yeah?” He grabbed the singer and walked over so he stood in front of her but slightly to the side.

“Could you please move your arms in front of you?” He demonstrated the gesture, keeping it in front of him before dropping his arms back to his side. He went on to explain, “You’ll need to keep it there while I do your upper body but I’ll give your arms a break when I do the bottom section of your body.” 

[silver-rose-notpirates]

Kairi watched his reaction closely and flushed a bit when he avoided responding, she chewed her lip. She swallowed nervously as he came over to her, but smiled and did as she was asked without hesitation. Her bright brown eyes glued to him as he spoke confidently.

She tilts her head at him, her hair swishing around from its restraint in the ponytail, “Is this okay, love?”

[kings-are-speaking]

The man smiled and nodded, flushing once more at his now normal nickname. He bent his posture to meet her torso, using the singer to begin measuring her shoulder to hip measurements, bust, then around her neck before ending at her waist. Then, he moved so he was behind her, taking the singer from the nape of her neck and down. He wrote everything down in between places, before moving back around to her front.

“Okay, you can put your arms down now”

[silver-rose-notpirates]

Kairi’s eyes followed his every move. He was a different person while working and it made her unable to tear her eyes away. He looked so serious and confident, but content and it stole her breath away. Her eyes watched his hands in the way the pulled the measuring tape taunt to get proper measurements, the way his expression twitched with mental notes before jotting them down on his notepad. She memorized everything. That is until he stepped behind her and a gentle touch was on her neck. She couldn’t help the squeak of laughter that bubbled out from her lips. She was incredibly ticklish, but had managed to wrangle it in by watching him… right up until he had gone where she couldn’t see. She bit her lips to restrain her laughter, but it did little to stop her torso from jumping in the presence of giggles.

She lowered her arms as he had requested, and sent him a lighthearted apologetic look, “I’m sorry, I-I’m very ticklish!” She breathed, trying to calm her laughter. He was actually lucky she hadn’t flailed… like her body had wanted to.

[kings-are-speaking]

His lips twitched at the sound, watching as she gave her apologies. It was cute, and it reminded him that he shouldn’t get too into his job when it involves his crush being here like he had been. He rolled his shoulders, grinning down at her. “No worries, it just made me know a spot where you’re ticklish now.”

While he was staying serious about what he had to do, he now had an upbeat sense to him as he walked around her before taking her hip measurements. After, he got down onto his knees to check her leg length and everything that came with it.

“You should take this time in thinking of what you want. I can make anything, so don’t hold- well, actually, no, I can’t crochet like I told you so maybe hold back a little?”

He grinned up at her before going back to what he was doing, much more aware now that her gaze was always watching him, a blush fighting to rise to the surface.

[silver-rose-notpirates]

(Training starter) “Woah!” Overestimating the firmness of her block, Ryan’s weight overpowered Kairi’s and he fell forward - taking Kairi down with him. He manages to push out his hands as they land between her head, unintentionally straddling her as he stopped himself from falling on her.

Kairi would forever deny the squeak that came from her lips as she hit the floor, but it most certainly came from her lips. Her eyes opened and first she laughed, it was sweet and happy like a chime. She loved to spar and being knocked on her hind end by Ryan was hardly a surprise. The laughter quickly died on her lips though, when his hair fell into her face tickling her cheek and lips. Her eyes opened and the second her eyes connected with his she went completely still and her face exploded into a blush. Her mouth was open, but not a sound came out.

[kings-are-speaking]

The moment she stared into his eyes was when he really froze, body tensing as he tried to comprehend their position but unable to do so. His mind went blank and all he could do was get lost in her gaze. This was how many times they’ve been this close to each other? Ryan felt like this is becoming a regular thing between them. The blush on her face made him even more transfixed on her, the soft red going well with her looks. His breath was hitched but his body slowly relaxed, his body twitching as his muscles flexed as he held up his weight. He didn’t know why he wasn’t moving, wasn’t saying anything, but right now he could only focus on how pretty Kairi looked right now.

[silver-rose-notpirates]

Kairi was... shocked she was definitely blushing harder than he was and given their position, her subconscious tried to piece together how. She drew blanks as her eyes scanned his features. The gaze combed over his brow, his cheek bones, his nose, his jaw, his lips- She swallowed and looked back towards his eyes, her blush possibly darker than before. The lavendar haired woman gave a nervous smile, trying to break the tense atmosphere as her hand reached up to smooth over his forearm.

"Are you comfortable?" She tried to tease, but it came out with a stutter and she bit her her lip in light frustration.

[kings-are-speaking]

He watched her check him out, his blush finally coming in at that fact, matching hers. It was a mystery to even himself how his breathing was calm, how he was calm at the moment. It was like his brain hadn’t registered what was happening and he was reacting subconsciously, and only half snapped out of it when she sent him a smile and talked.

“Yes” it was breathy and whispered, before he finally realized what he just said and where he was laying. He was laying on top of her. She was under him. Oh god, his legs are- a full on blush erupted on his face, eyes wide as he panicked and tried to talk.

“Uh, um,” he gulped, his heart going into overdrive as he tried to form a sentence, his mind too panicked to realize he hadn’t moved from his spot yet.

[silver-rose-notpirates]

Kairi stopped breathing as his words made her thought process come to a screeching halt. He... what? She felt her body jump in heat and everywhere he touched was searing. She barely even took notice of the fact that he was panicking, too oxygen deprived and flustered to notice. Her lungs ached before she realized and she inhaled slowly. Her hand, was still on his forearm, but it was just that. It was completely still. She swallowed but all it accomplished was an awkward mouth movement, her mouth was as dry as if she had face planted in the sand. She licked her lips in attempt to bring moisture back to her mouth.

"I-I mean, I am... yes- I mean, me..as well, but uh... what?" Her voice was small and almost shy as she stumbled to produce a response.

[kings-are-speaking]

Ryan continued to panic, his face getting redder the more he stumbled with his words. The two were both blabbering on and trying to talk over one another until Ryan just stopped and stared, trying to get his heart calm before recollecting himself. He stared at her, her blushing and fumbled form, and his eyes softened enough for him to actually start thinking. He knew he was being jumpy, too blushy and always freaking out with her. He knows that’s just part of who he is, but he knows if he wants to push through, he has to get more comfortable with her, more relaxed.

With that resolve, his heart calmed and he stared into her eyes, “Yes, I am comfortable. I’m comfortable here, with you close to me.”

[silver-rose-notpirates]

Kairi inhales sharply and looked up at him, into his eyes, her own brown eyes blown wide. The main reason for her flustered embarrassment when it came to Ryan had to do with doubt and insecurity, but as she looked into his eyes she wondered... if she had any reason to? Her blush was still present, but not nearly as fierce as before as her hand gently grips his arm. Then she smiles and it's hardly a regular smile, it's full of warmth and adoration.

"Really?" Her question is soft and would have been missed if he had been any farther away. Kairi's other hand comes up to rest on his shoulder, "That... actually makes me happy." Her blush darkened again at her admittance, but it did not deter her, instead her smile widened.

[kings-are-speaking]

“Yeah...me too” He said, the depth of what he said sinking further into his chest.

Looking at Kairi, he realized he’s never looked at someone like this before. He couldn’t believe it took so long for him to realize that the feeling was adoration, affection. His eyes grew softer and his arms just a tad weaker. His heart started beating louder as he let out a soft exhale, everything hitting him at once.

How long has he truly felt like this? Was it when they ate together, or when they spent the night under the stars? He couldn’t be sure anymore because all he was feeling right now was the full force of his awakened emotions. All he could do now was stare into her eyes, wanting nothing more than to keep her close.

What was going to happen now? He couldn’t even find it in himself to blush, too shocked in his thoughts. He knew she liked him and now...now he realizes he likes her, what do they do now? He had no idea but, staring at the woman in a new light as she gazed up at him, he knew he wanted to go somewhere quick.

[silver-rose-notpirates]

His breath was hitched but his body slowly relaxed, his body twitching as his muscles flexed as he held up his weight. He didn’t know why he wasn’t moving, wasn’t saying anything, but right now he could only focus on how pretty Kairi looked right now.

Kairi was... shocked she was definitely blushing harder than he was and given their position, her subconscious tried to piece together how. She drew blanks as her eyes scanned his features. The gaze combed over his brow, his cheek bones, his nose, his jaw, his lips- She swallowed and looked back towards his eyes, her blush possibly darker than before. The lavendar haired woman gave a nervous smile, trying to break the tense atmosphere as her hand reached up to smooth over his forearm.

"Are you comfortable?" She tried to tease, but it came out with a stutter and she bit her her lip in light frustration.

He watched her check him out, his blush finally coming in at that fact, matching hers. It was a mystery to even himself how his breathing was calm, how he was calm at the moment. It was like his brain hadn’t registered what was happening and he was reacting subconsciously, and only half snapped out of it when she sent him a smile and talked.

“Yes” it was breathy and whispered, before he finally realized what he just said and where he was laying. He was laying on top of her. She was under him. Oh god, his legs are- a full on blush erupted on his face, eyes wide as he panicked and tried to talk.

“Uh, um,” he gulped, his heart going into overdrive as he tried to form a sentence, his mind too panicked to realize he hadn’t moved from his spot yet.
