[ Pretty much, yeah. It's gross.

He's so at peace though, even though they broke into the planetarium and there's probably a law here against that he wouldn't change it for the world. In fact, he'd probably do it again for another moment like this.

Athena Cykes: worst lawyer for encouraging this behaviour tbh ]

You're distracting. [ Is all he murmurs after a long moment of staring at her like that. ] That's all. [ "THAT'S ALL" ]

[psycholawgy]

[ athena cykes is not an angel, let it be known.

and she's broke into a space center before, too. LIVIN' THE DREAM!!!!! ]

Wha- What? [ ... her cheeks do turn red, though. and she puffs her cheeks. ] Well, I'm so-rry.

[sortileges]

[ only an angel of thirst

Though he does grin at her when she puffs out her cheeks. What children. ] You don't need to be, I didn't say it was a bad thing.

[psycholawgy]

[ EXCUSE YOU?!

they truly are children, and it's fun being a child. ] That was sarcasm... Nevermind.

[ she lets out a wistful sigh. ] I'm so reminded of home right now. I miss my mother. You know, I didn't like her, and I never really got to apologise for disliking her before she died.

[sortileges]

[ It is... it sure is. ] Oh, I know that.

[ Mr. Sarcasm over here and all. He goes quiet after though, finding it hard to understand. Even after seeing what happened. He was always so close with his mother that it's just... so different. ] I'm sure she knows now though. From where ever she is.

[ Do you believe in life after love deathhhh ]

[psycholawgy]

That's what my boss says.

[ is that a tear falling down her cheek? sure is. but she quickly wipes it away, but another tear replaces is. and then she's suddenly crying. but she doesn't seem upset.

so upset, anyway... ]

I wish I could apologise to her here. I want to see her here.

[sortileges]

[ He shifts her slightly, pulling her up against himself a little more so his other hand can reach out to smooth tears away. For a minute or two he doesn't actually say anything, just tried to offer comfort with his hands because he needs to think of the best way to say it. ]

I wish you could too, that you could have a chance to make it right now that you've grown so much. I'm sure she'd be proud. You just need to believe it, too.

[psycholawgy]

[ she looks up at him and smiles, laughing amiably. ]

I can only hope so. And I'd introduce you to her, too. [ she laughs again. ] Try not to make yourself too dorky in front of her.

[sortileges]

[ His eyebrows shoot up at that. ]

Too dorky? [ What are you trying to say, Athena? ]

[psycholawgy]

[ it would be impossible for merlin to meet metis, but it's funny to think about, anyway. she's... at least sure that she'd approve of merlin. he's a nice guy, and his heart is in the right place. but most of all, because athena likes him.

metis may have been a strict mother especially when it came to her ability, but athena's a hundred percent sure now that her mother loved her.

she can't help but smirk when merlin asks that. she just wants to tease him, really. ]

You heard me.

[sortileges]

[ His own mother would be fine with whoever he chose anyway, as long as he was happy. As long as he was alive. She's more than aware of the dangers his life is constantly in because of his destiny, but she also knows that there are people who will look after him, too.

Even if it costs their lives, just like Will lost his life for him.

He lets out a breath, frowning at her. For a second it looks like he's a little miffed by that, but then his hand is sliding down over her side to try and tickle her. ]

Who's the dorky one here? [ Well, it's a good job he's been trying to self teach himself new vocabulary anyway. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ fasd;gk not this again! she squirms a bit and laughs but eventually puts both her hands on merlin's cheeks. ]

Stop tickling me, [ she says flatly. but then she kisses him. ] This guy, right here. He's so dorky.

[sortileges]

[ You give in once, you know it comes back with revenge... Though he does stop fairly quickly, it was more to say wow, that's rude, athena. ]

Like you're any different. [ He's not alone in this, though that's probably why they get along so well. Two idiots together. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ a pout falls to her face. she is not a dork! she's... she's a winner! or something... ]

I'm not much of a dork than you.

[ this is another competition, jsyk. ]

[sortileges]

[ Yeah... a winner dork.

There is a way to make this competitive moment end though, and he takes it. His hand reaches to tangle in her hair, pulling her down to kiss her. ]

Does it really matter?

[psycholawgy]

Yes, [ she whispers playfully, returning that kiss. ]

Because I like being on top all the time.

[ this is not a gagtag. ]

[sortileges]

[ ah ]

You're impossible. [ What's even more impossible is how comfortable this seems to be, despite being on the floor right now. He tugs her up and closer, curling both arms around her.

This is even more ridiculous considering she practically is on him right now i hate you ]

I'm not complaining, though maybe I should be.

[ this is also not a gag tag ]

[psycholawgy]

[ a hand moves to brush her fingers on his hair. his hair is short, so she ends up curling a finger on a couple of strands instead.

and she kisses him again. ]

Don't complain. I'm not a sore winner, remember?

[sortileges]

[ It's actually relatively soothing and his head tips a little towards her hand, though that's short lived as he returns the kiss instead. ]

No one is a sore winner. [ Though it's hard to be a sore loser when she keeps kissing him anyway, isn't it? ]

[psycholawgy]

It's possible, you know. Braggarts.

[ she's returning the kiss again. this may as well be a pattern with how they're conversing right now. ]

[sortileges]

You can be a braggart. [ She is already or he'll give her permission--whichever it is he's too caught up in this to really consider what he's saying.

At this rate he's going to have to buy chapstick. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ there's a light laugh in her voice before she says: ]

I have a competition for you. Who's the better kisser between the two of us?

[ this is not a gagtag ]

[sortileges]

[ He breathes in sharply, a little startled because Athena???????? ]

What? How is that even going to be judged?

[psycholawgy]

I'll be the judge! And I promise I won't be biased.








[ she's clearly thought this through. ]

[sortileges]

[ C l e a r l y . ]

You're being serious?

[ He looks up at her, absolutely bewildered.

Is she trying to say something here???????????? How else is he supposed to take this. ]
