And thus on his way back for a third time, he grabs her, dipping her low.

"Do what?" But before she can give an answer, he kisses her.

@reasonsheir || unprompted but keep going-

And now, with his third return--she finds herself squeaking at him as she's dipped low.

❝ I-I-- ❞

Not that she gets to answer--finding his lips upon hers. Her cheeks turn the brightest shade of red, almost matching her hair. Upon them parting, she quickly covers his mouth with her hand, looking away from him.

❝ ...T-That....A-Anyway... ❞

[healerkissed]

Only for him to come back through about ten minutes later, pressing a kiss to her other cheek, mirth evident in his uncovered eye as he does so. But thus he goes-

@reasonsheir || unprompted but more than welcomed

And now another kiss was given to her other cheek--the mirth he had in gaze not missed by her--and now he was gone again.

❝ I....Hmmmm! If you're going to do that you....oh, perish the thought.... ❞

She was not willing that into existence.

[healerkissed]

A gentle kiss is placed upon her cheek, before he walks away, chuckling a bit.

@reasonsheir || Completely unprompted, but accepted.

Of all of the things she didn't expect--that was certainly one of them. Her cheek turns a bit red, her hand going to her cheek as she stares at his receding figure.

❝ A-Anaxagoras-san...Y-You...I...W-Why... ❞ She of course doesn't get an answer--he's already down the hallway.

"I shouldn’t be this close."

           𝐇𝐈𝐒  𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒  𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐄  𝐇𝐄𝐑  𝐏𝐀𝐔𝐒𝐄,  𝐒𝐇𝐄  no  longer  attempting  to  leave.  He  was  covering  a  portion  of  his  face  with  one  hand,  the  other  resting  up  on  the  wall--noticeably  close  to  her  waist,  and  trapping  her  between  him  and  the  wall.  Emeralds  blink  twice  at  his  statement,  at  him  and  their  current  position…and  she  swears  she  can  hear  her  heart  pounding  in  her  ears. 

            He  had  already  originally  grabbed  her  wrist  when  she  had  attempted  to  leave  earlier,  under  the  guise  of  needing  to  attend  to  something.  Truth  of  the  matter  was,  she…had  a  hard  time  staying  in  the  same  room  as  him,  due  to  her  feelings.  She…shouldn't  be  in  love  with  him.  Of  all  people.  Not  because  he  was  bad  or  anything--quite  the  opposite.  He…was  far  more  gentle  than  he  let  on.  He  cared  more  than  he  showed.  He  was  brilliant,  knew  so  many  things,  and  was  willing  to  teach  them  to  people.  Yet….

                                    She  couldn't  fathom  him  wanting  her,  of  all  people. 

           ❝  A-Anaxagoras-san…  ❞  She  whispers,  and  when  he  finally  uncovers  his  face--she  finds  her  emeralds  meeting  mismatched  hues. 

                                     ❝  W…What  are  we  doing…?  ❞

              𝐒𝐇𝐄  𝐖𝐀𝐒  𝐂𝐄𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍  𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒  𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐍  𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌  couldn't  get  more…confusing  with  them.  Yet,  here  she  was  with  him  in  a  room--their  gazes  meeting.  Her  skin  tingling  after  his  lingering  touch  up  on  her  shoulder---in  fact,  his  hand  was  still  there,  keeping  her  facing  him  in  this  room.  It  was  here,  she  noticed  in  that  singular  gaze--a  common,  classic  tell. 

                                                His  pupil….it  had  dilated. 

               She  didn't  tease  him  about  it.  No…but  the  fact  that  she  had  noticed,  along  with  him  deciding,  for  some  reason,  to  grab  her  shoulder  and  hold  her  back--how  could  she  not…heed?  A  man  she  swore,  up  until  now,  purely  hated  her…but  then  again…they  had  learned  recently  the  two  of  them  did  in  fact  share  more  in  common  than  it  seemed.  So  much,  both  of  them  enjoyed  conversing  more  with  each  other..though  admittedly;  She  had  always  enjoyed  their  encounters.  Even  the  ones  where  she  was  certain  he  wished  she'd  perish  on  the  spot  for. 

                              Perhaps….perhaps  she  had  not  irritated  him  as  much  as  she  thought  she  had. 

              ❝  Anaxagoras…  ❞  She  whispered,  dual  toned  eyes  meeting  his  singular  gaze,  before  drifting  to  his  hand  still  holding  her…then  back  to  his  eye.  Did…he  have  more  to  say,  or  was  there  something  else?

              ❝  Might  I…ask  what  is  on  your  mind?  Enough  to  keep  your  hold  on  my  shoulder?  ❞

              𝐇𝐄  𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑  𝐂𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐃  𝐓𝐎  𝐀𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄  𝐇𝐄𝐑  with  his  antics.  The  worst  company?  Lock  him  away?  Truly-had  any  of  that  been  what  she  desired,  it  could  have  been  done  quite  some  time  ago.  And  she  knew  full  well  the  other  was  aware  of  this.  In  that  same  breath,  he  knew  full  well  she  was  not  the  type  for  senseless  blood  shed;  Unless  he  thought  otherwise  of  her.

                Still,  none  the  less-his  reaction  to  her  amused  her.  More  than  she  let  on.

              ❝  Now  if  I  wished  to  do  that,  such  would  have  been  done  already.  ❞  She  responds,  a  small  chuckle  leaving  her  lips.  She  could  hear--and  feel--the  sarcasm  dripping  in  everything  he  said.  But  she  opts  to  not  let  it  phase  her.  She  was  merely  seeking  conversation  in  regards  to  the  events,  nothing  else. 

              ❝  Have  I  ever  stated  such  to  you  before?  Surely,  Anaxa,  you  understand  that  if  that  were  the  case,  I  would  tell  you  so.  And  if  I  recall  correctly,  I  have  not.  Nor  have  you  given  reason  to.  Surely,  the  heir  of  reason  would  understand  and  know  this,  correct?  ❞
