[ She steps forward with purpose, places a hand on the back of his head to guide him down and the other on his arm and goes on her tip-toes to kiss him on the mouth. It's--a little on the aggressive side.
[ On the contrary--she's never seen Eclipse as the bashful or easily flustered type--but rather someone who has possessed an unusual maturity and sense of dignity for their age. So a kiss on the hand seems both charming and natural from him. ]
I thought as much! You know, one of these days you're going to be a real lady-killer, Eclipse. --Or a gentleman-killer.
[ Somewhere on the inside, Eclipse can't help but grow cross-eyed at the idea of ever becoming either of those things. They're not bad things to be, really; they imply certain skills that he finds admirable in a person, and those help get things done. Gods know he thinks the way the sisters ever so warmly and kindly rob men and women, with the right words and gestures, as nothing short of amazing. It's the kind of thing he aspires to on some level.
It's just also...
...Mrrgh, he's probably reading too much into it. Hiryuu meant it as a sincere compliment; there isn't really a point in thinking this hard. ]
Yes.... I'm sorry that it had to come at the expense of so many people's good days. You and Taisho especially.
[ She's also--well--there is a sense of disappointment across the bond. She'd especially hoped he would want to play this one--or at least not be opposed to it. But it feels wrong to ask him now... so she won't. They can always kiss later--for not points. ]
Are you heading back to your dorm? Do you want me to go with you?
A game like this is one that would cause me to feel uncomfortable, and so it is best that I sit out I think. But I would like for you to enjoy yourself and talk with him more if you are able. You should join up with the rest of your teammates and continue on. I actually have some errands I need to run today.
[ on the one hand, blanket permission to go be a ho!
on the other hand...... why does it feel like she's being sent away?
well. it's fine. it's fine!!! he wouldn't be comfortable. So... that's understandable. nobody should be forced to participate in this sort of game if they don't want to and it's not like they need to see each other all the time or she needs validation on camera..... it's just silly to feel bothered and she doesn't want him to feel obligated to participate on her behalf. ]
Okay! Good luck with your errands. I'll see you later then?
MOSTLY SO HE DOESN'T BRING HER MOOD DOWN. Or so he thinks. He can't relate to her feelings right now and he's trying desperately hard to mask the fact that he's just not happy. Distracting himself elsewhere is the only thing he can honestly think might help right now. ]
Of course. I'll see you later. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you run into any trouble.
when you have a direct link to someone's heart, it doesn't really work so well. She would rather help him through his unhappiness than otherwise!! But... he clearly doesn't want to share it. And--she understands. Sometimes, you need to be alone with your unhappiness and process it on your own.
But the whole situation sucks. BUT! She doesn't want to make it suck more. So she's putting on her own show of false cheer. ]
It's fine! If I have any problems today, I'll handle them on my own! You just enjoy your day, okay?!
[ She will die and visit Lilith before she bothers Haku today.
--That will not happen. She will, however, have a very..... eventful day. ]
[ And if she takes advantage of his willingness to help her too much--well, it's wrong, for one, but someday he might change his mind, too. Whether he realizes it or not--Haku needs time and space to deal with his own problems and not always hers. She asks a lot of him--she doesn't want "a lot" to become "too much" or "unreasonable."
My eyes are. It's kind of painful, so I tend to stick to the shade, and prefer dim light at home. But it's not as though I hate sunlight or anything. It's beautiful. I guess I'm just more nocturnal than most.
I'll look for some though. If I can't find any then I'll simply make do with one of my umbrellas. I'm not usually wandering around broad daylight without one. Though now that I think about it, sunglasses might be good for Rei-kun...
[ And especially after saying something like that--she shouldn't leave, right? They need to sort this out--or it's going to become awkward. If Wednesday started to avoid her... she definitely wouldn't like that. ]
Listen, I... I don't know if I feel that way or I don't, it's just--very sudden--
[ but she did have that doki in the helevator--that memory suddenly does come back to her quite vividly and her cheeks co...lor.... ]
... Or if I do, I have been--avoiding thinking of it. But regardless, I... I would like you to stay! And if you want me to kiss you then I... I don't have any sort of problem with that. ... Now or another time.
[ it's. it's not exactly the answer that Wednesday was probably hoping to hear but? it's something? it is in fact a start and she is confused and her heart is beating wildly so. most likely. there is more here to suss out, she just needs... ]
Time. Please just--give me a little time, won't you?
[She stops short, tensing at the feel of Hiryuu's fingers about her wrist.
[And then there's nothing to do but to listen, and to try very hard not to - to feel too much, to feel too awfully discouraged, so much like a silly little girl with a silly schoolgirl crush on her senpai...
[She's probably relying on it too much, but Clouyd Nine will clear her mind. Just a little, just enough, just so she can focus on what Hiryuu's actually saying. Enough that she can think about what Hiryuu is saying, instead of simply feeling it.
[And of course it's worse than she was hoping - but it's better than what she feared.
[Time, she's saying. She wants time...
[At least she's not just pushing her away.]
O-of course, Hiryuu-chan.
[It's more than she could have asked for, had any right to expect, given the bomb she's just gone and dropped on a perfectly good friendship.]
I'm sorry.
[Can I hug you anyway? She tentatively reaches out to touch Hiryuu on the shoulders.]
You don't need to be sorry, Wednesday. I'm not upset, and you didn't do anything wrong.
[ hiryuu has no problems with a hug BUT THE THING IS
they've talked so much about kissing, and Wednesday hasn't communicated that all she wants is a hug--so unless Wednesday stops her, Hiryuu is going to put her hands on either side of Wednesday's face and lean in for said kiss. ]
[She's talked herself out of it so comprehensively, made herself feel like such a presumptuous little fool, that the last thing Wednesday can believe is that Hiryuu is still, is still prepared to actually try and kiss her. For a moment she stiffens up, her fingers digging into Hiryuu's shoulders, but she doesn't pull away: the last thing she wants is to pull away. The moment passes as quickly as it came upon her.
[She closes her eyes instead--
[She leans in too, her lips slightly parted: and just like that she's kissing Hiryuu.]
Edited (better icon. yes, i am that ridiculous.) 2019-06-07 23:44 (UTC)
[ Although the kiss itself is gentle and slow, it's nonetheless full--purposeful, even. When Wednesday parts her lips, Hiryuu moves hers to match.
.... It's certainly not the sort of kiss you'd give a friend you were just trying to score points off in a hurry with, but rather... something thoughtful and exploring. ]
on the one hand even though absinthe kind of makes her feel? wary? on the other hand
she needs those points. and he's not a bad guy--didn't that talk they had that one time help clear that all up? ... but she just can't shake this sense she gets about him....
ugh. C'MON HIRYUU, MAN UP! she slaps her own cheeks]
