Hey baby you don't need a teaspoon of sugar to make me go down.

Uh, excuse me? What-

-Gifts him with more misc. adorable creatures. They're practically tumbling out of the Academy's windows that's how much she is tossing his way.-

[Thinks it's a paradox. Starts researching the cause of this nonsense as locals begin to question where their tax dollars are going given the amount of adorable gushing out of the Academy. And yet they are content because it's at least cute things.]

[prophecyofhopes]

I'm proud of you.

[The statement is met with silence, to be followed with a laugh, not quite nervous so much as he was lost for an intelligent response. With her, praise was definitely hard-earned, even if he felt it was unwarranted given how much he still needed to do, how much was still needing to be done--High standards for himself, after all. But he would play it off with an immense amount of composure, giving the other a small nod-]

Just...helping where I can. [A short pause followed, then feeling the atmosphere heading in an unfamiliar direction, he sought to deflect it and gave a more laid back chuckle, tone light and playful.]

But if we're playing the who's proud of who game out of nowhere, then you should know I'm proud of you too, Light. And thankful. [He did his best not to move while in such close proximity just yet (a desire to move away was absent in him), his voice kept low as both a courtesy and so only she may hear.] I mean, I wouldn't be where I am if it weren't for you guiding me, showing me how to stand on my own. So...

[A tight hug is given after a moment, as if a split-second decision, taking her initial gesture and raising it to show his words were genuine--if it was even necessary, that is. Otherwise, he'd very quickly run out of sensible words to say, and so fell quiet, content.]

-Leaned close, lips a hairsbreadth from his ear.-

…—

[Opts for silence, both listening closely should she speak and falling still should she move.]

[prophecyofhopes]

-Palms settled atop his shoulders.-

Uh- Light?

[prophecyofhopes]

-May or may not contemplate affection that is more suitable. Laments. Perhaps he does deserve an embrace. Still deadpanning; But otherwise rewards him with one.-

I will tame you. And you will let me ride you into the sunset, foreign creature. :l [c!ic]

You're going to tame me? Bwahaha! That's rich! You don't know who you're dealing with!

But, hey. You're a cutie! I'd love to see you try!
