[ Continued from here. ]

[ It is. ;_; And with rabbit ears! ]

[ Nope, that's too embarrassing. ] Come on, you're not much of a cat if you don't eat fish or meow...

[And who knows when they might get the urge to jump each other? She's starting to relax and could almost stay like this, but that idea sounds nice to her. It's still really warm.]

Yeah. I'll just throw on something lighter.

[blackshadow]

[ They might just get the urge while walking down the street! In winter... ]

All right. [ He lets go of her and leans back a little. He doesn't really want her to go, but he's pretty warm himself. ] I'll change, too.

[negativegate]

[A nice way to warm up when it's cold out...

She never thought she'd be so reluctant just to get up and change, but...Well, it'll be quick. She makes for the door, giving him a smile over her shoulder.] I'll be right back.

[blackshadow]

[ They definitely warmed up together earlier...

He smiles back at her, almost excited for her to come back again already. ] I'll be waiting here.

[ And change into something more comfortable himself. ]

[negativegate]

[Very, very warm~

Rita's smile widens, and her heart feels light and warm, so she slips out the door before she gets too sappy. (As if they haven't already.)

It doesn't take her long to put her skirt and light shirt she wore the previous day back on, and then she returns, mindful for once to knock on the door.] Are you ready?

[blackshadow]

[ And there's nothing wrong with getting that warm in public, right~?

She's making him feel sappy just watching her. The minute she leaves, he bounces off the bed to hurriedly change into the first t-shirt and a pair of pants that he sees, and doesn't think twice about throwing them on, though part of him wonders if he should look better for her...

The thought is quickly dismissed when she knocks, though. He opens the door as his answer, still all smiles and high nerves. ] Yeah, come on.

[negativegate]

[Certainly not-! Even if they feel like ducking into a more out of the way spot first~

She might have thought something was up if he dressed fancier. As it is, she smiles back at him as she steps into the room, thinking he looks perfectly normal and comfortable and just...Tyr.

--And impulsively, reaches up and tugs him down for a quick kiss. Nothing too wild.]

Better?

[blackshadow]

[ Being in public doesn't mean putting on a show~

As impulsive as he knows Rita to be, that kiss still catches him off guard. His surprise gives way to a sort of playful smirk after only a few beats, though; he's getting used to it. ]

Much better.

[ He'll just slide the door shut behind her before taking a step closer to her, hand slipping behind her head and tilting her head up. ] Wanna get back to where we left off?

[negativegate]

[And they're not out there to entertain anybody else~

She might have cooled down comfortably thanks to changing, but she's still feeling pretty warm and fuzzy where emotions are concerned. So she grins right back, putting her arms around him.]

Not so tired after all?

[blackshadow]

[ It's all them, all the time. ♥

Being with her made him not want to stop, and that little break and changing into lighter clothes might have been all he needed. His emotions haven't waned too much.

He curls his other arm around her waist to return the embrace a little. His response is as nonchalant as it could be. ]

It's a second wind. You're not getting sleepy now, are you?

[negativegate]

[And only them~♥

And now she's more than happy to pick up where they left off, her reply fast and certain.]

Not at all.

[Rather than kiss him right away, though, she moves her hand up to run it gently through his hair. A large part of her just revels in them being so close like this.]

[blackshadow]

[ Only ones who matter. ♥

He takes in a slow breath as she does. It's a simple gesture, but it feels like more when it's her - it sends a little shiver through him. Part of him wouldn't mind if they just stayed close and talked like this more. His fingers start to play in her hair a little. ]

I thought so...

[ Another part of him just wants her always closer like he has to make up for lost time. But then, he never got to be like this with her before, either, and why spoil that? ]

[negativegate]

[Only ones in the City~

Rita feels a certain sense of wonder, too--that they can be so close and be comfortable. She hadn't imagined ever being like this, but here they are, and she never wants to stop. She isn't even sure what exactly she wants to do--kiss him or just keep stroking his hair--so for now, she presses closer to him and keeps running her fingers through the strands.]

This is nice...You know, just...us.

[blackshadow]

[ More than best friends forever~

That type of closer is good, too - and maybe any type would be. He hugs her closer automatically, holding her gently but still close. It doesn't even feel weird to be this open and in love with her. ]

Yeah... It is. It feels sort of right... [ Or not "sort of". It just felt less sappy to add that. ]

[negativegate]

[The best kind of friends~

If there's any part of her questioning why she feels so open, it's so small she's not even listening. She's too happy to see how much he likes her and to show how much she feels the same for him.]

It's weird, but...I think I know what you mean.

[blackshadow]

[ Heck yeah it is~ >:3

He smirks a little at that. ] I guess it'll take some getting used to, too... [ He wraps some of her hair around his fingers as he plays with it. There's something about being able to touch it that he just really likes. ]

[negativegate]

[Awww yeah. >B)

And she's found that she really likes him touching her hair, so she's pretty content like this, letting her fingers tangle in his.]

A little. But I like it.

[blackshadow]

[ I love them in all the ways~

It's something they know they like now, and there's no reason to stop. With a little amusement- ]

Me too. [ Playing with her hair, playing with her hair. He thinks around the words a little, but eventually - and abruptly - just says the first thing that comes to his mind. ] We should have bought a few more things yesterday...

[negativegate]

[Me too, aah~ Forever ship!

Only reasons to keep going. Rita holds him snugly with her other arm, feeling very very content.]

Hm? What, more clothes?

[blackshadow]

[ Forever shipping~!

He nods, beginning trace his fingers over her back. ]

So you could have more to change into when you stay over randomly like this.

[negativegate]

[Alwaaays~!

She easily relaxes in his touch; she's become so comfortable with him, but now more than ever. Her fingers just keep threading through his hair.]

Oh, that's right...I could bring something over next time.

[blackshadow]

[ Best ship ever~ B)

If they weren't standing, Tyr could almost doze like this. As it is, it's just calming. ]

That works. It's cheaper that way...

[negativegate]

[I love it. ;v; /slooowly works on sketch-!]

[Maybe they should've gone back to the bed. Actually, that doesn't sound like a bad idea to Rita.]

And I'll bring something light to wear.

Anyway, you wanna sit down?

[blackshadow]

[ Eeee~! Fanart, fanart~! I need to redo mine on my computer since I started in my sketchbook... ]

[ The thought of lighter clothes puts a playful smile on his face that doesn't go away when she suggests sitting down. ]

Ah, right- we should. [ He untangles himself from her easily and reaches up to take her hand. ] My neck is starting to hurt a little...

[negativegate]

[Fanart~!! Eee, I can't wait to see yours! Mine's just a really vague sketch right now, so I need to work on it some more...]

[She holds his hand and steps back just enough so they have space to walk over to the bed, all while putting on a slight mock pout.]

Well, so's mine. [Because he's taller!]
