       ❝Nn.❞She mumbled and blinked as he moved away from her ever-so-slightly, leaving her a bit confused, but also gave her a chance to rub the color out of her cheeks. ❝You’re not..doing anything wrong, Ryou-kun.❞ She paused to move and press her fingers to either side of his cheeks, ❝I-I’m not used to this.❞ She wasn’t used to being that intimate with someone before; even if she wanted to be as close to him as possible. ❝I don’t want to be bad at it—❞ Cheeks flushed yet again as she spoke.

"Used to what, Adeline?" He knew what she wanted to say; knew very well what his presence could do to her. After all, she had a similar effect on him, though he was much better at hiding it. "Me? Because that's all this is. Just me. And you. Nothing else." His intentions were not to scare her off, no. All he wanted was to keep her close; keep her with him. His thumb brushed against her skin gently then, following the contours of her face. "And I don't want to see you afraid every time I come close. It worries me. It makes me doubt my every move."

[akakiga]

Her nose moved to nuzzle against his in a rather innocent manner as he gave her a bit of space. It was nice, to be able to breathe again. Cheeks had a bit more color to them, than normal. But he always had that affect on her. No matter what he did, she would turn red as a tomato. ❝Nn. I'm--I'm not running.❞ She made a promise to herself that she wouldn't run, as long as he never ran away from her either.

"Are you sure? Because to me…" Fingers quickly found their way to her chin, lifting it so she had no other choice but to meet his eyes. He made sure to keep his facade intact, face emotionless.

"It looks like you are. Are you afraid of me, Adeline?” His other hand let go of her waist completely, sliding up against her curves rather freely. He kept his touches light, but made sure to memorize every line of her body, for future reference. “Have I ever given you a reason to feel that way? Have I ever taken something from you without asking first?”

"Am I doing something that you do not like?" His words were barely a whisper now as he leaned in, lips near hers, yet still far enough so they wouldn’t actually touch. "Tell me. And I’ll stop. Tell me and I’ll move away."

[akakiga]

Following his movements, Adeline took a few steps back before her backside hit the wall. "--Ryou-kuuuu!" She whined through her lips as he nipped at her bottom lip. Honestly she was only here to see if he was working -- then she would have been on her way. "--But.. You need to get it done."

He simply smiled against her lips, keeping his hands firmly locked onto her hips, in case she tried to wiggle her way out of his reach. It was highly unlikely, he knew. But best not to take any chances, no~

Paperwork didn't matter. His job didn't matter. Not now, when he was finally given a chance to spend some time with her. All that was left to do was to take her mind off of it as well~

Slightly backing away, but still keeping her pressed against a wall, Ryou tilted his head, feigning seriousness.

"Are you trying to run away from me, Adeline?"

[akakiga]

Fingers curled around the fabric of his robes -- pulling him a bit closer as her whole face covered in a nice rose color. Honestly, it didn't take much for her to turn into a tomato. "Nn--." Words left her lips a bit breathy as she leaned into his touch, "R-Ryou-kun..! You can't put off your work."

"I think we should stay~" Teeth grazed her skin gently, leaving ghostly imprints against the perfect porcelain as fingers brushed the rosy tendrils aside to give him more access. This was all her fault, really. She should've known better than to approach him so carelessly after being away for so long. There was no way he was leaving her side for his work. "Though we could move a bit. Like this~" At that he slid his hands to her hips, keeping her locked to his frame, and took a few steps ahead, bringing them both closer to a wall. "Work can wait. This can't~"

[akakiga]

Cheeks couldn't hide the blush forming on her cheeks as he moved his thumb across her lower lip. She did miss him, a /lot/, but he had work to do -- unless he wanted to lose his seat. "H-How much work do you have to do, Ryou-kun?" She leaned up to let her nose brush at his cheek in an innocent but affectionate manner.

"A lot." His hand closed around her chin as he inched closer, mouth pressing against the skin of her neck. Paperwork be damned, he had other plans. "We won't be finished until tomorrow~"

[akakiga]

As soon as his arms wrapped around her petite frame, Adeline couldn't help but rest her head on his chest. Nuzzling a bit closer she tugged on his sleeve, "You should be doing your paperwork, Ryou-kun."

Lithe fingers raked through her lovely hair before he slid them to her back, pushing her even further into him. "Ah, is that so?" His free hand came up to slightly tilt her head up, thumb brushing across her lover lip as soon as he did so. "And I thought we should spend our free time doing something more... entertaining. But paperwork it is~"

[akakiga]

Nuzzles herself under his arm.

Wraps his arms around her frame and brushes a soft, rather chaste kiss against her hair. Despite knowing how immature and selfish it makes him seem, he is beginning to dislike her profession. And anything else that keeps her away from him, including her best friend. Of course, he doesn't say it, but simply urges her even closer, tangling his fingers in her rosy hair.

[akakiga]

Blinking a few times as he wrapped his fingers around her chin, removing her head from his neck. Using the motion to brush his lips against hers, leaving her more flustered than before, but the well, stanza of phrases that left his lips, made her heart soar. A sudden surge of confidence cause her to lean forward and press her lips further to his while running her free hand through his blonde locks. "Je t'aime."

Lips were quickly curled upward as he smiled against her kiss, palm coming to rest at the base of her spine. And splaying his fingers and pressing her into him, Ryou buried his face into her neck the moment their kiss broke.

"Foolish girl." He breathed out, leaving a small kiss just below her ear as his other hand came up to tangle her hair. "I love you too."
