[ ATHENA STOP THAT--

Whatever language that is and the blacking out.

He panics because he doesn't want to have to knock her out again, and considering she can't listen properly when in this state he reaches out to hold the back of her neck and pulls her into a kiss. It's firm, his breathing is off because he has no idea if this is going to work or not but he's... giving it a good try.

Here's hoping????? ]

[psycholawgy]

[ merlin W H A T are you doing!!!

the kiss does wake her up and it's really gross because while his lips are on hers, making some weird noises without opening her mouth. ]

[sortileges]

[ He's trying to avoid another disaster?! And apparently failing. Thankfully he looks just as unsure when he pulls back to look at her face. ]

...Are you still here?

[psycholawgy]

[ she just stares at him for a few good seconds until her vision comes back. ]

I'm- I'm here.

[sortileges]

[ His hand slides from that back of her neck to cup her cheek. His lips twitch up a little. ]

That actually worked?

[psycholawgy]

[ she leans into that hand, but she still can't get over her own imagination. ]

S- Sorry, I had no idea what came over me.

[sortileges]

[ He slides his thumb over her skin but... ah. ]

Maybe you're also a pervert. [ Just........ saying. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she was about to smile but then her forehead creases as she frowns. ]

Excuse me?

[sortileges]

[ He presses his lips together, knowing that this is playing with fire a bit but... ]

I'd still love you either way, you know.

[psycholawgy]

[ he really is playing with fire at this point. ]

My sexual behaviour is not regarded as abnormal!

[ sure, let's get technical here. ]

[sortileges]

[ Is she going all psychology on him now?! ]

Then explain how you went from Ai liking someone who might be a pervert who potentially doesn't like her back to... them doing stuff on the couch?

[ His face might be getting hotter saying that. help. ]

[psycholawgy]

Well, if he likes her back and--

[ a pause, and her face turns hotter. ]

You get it.

[sortileges]

[ ...He actually glances away then. Clears his throat. ]

Doesn't she have her bedroom for that?

[ Why is this a conversation they're having?! ]

[psycholawgy]

[ MERLIN STARTED THIS CONVERSATION!!! ]

W- Well, some people don't just take it to the bedrooms. [ welcome to the future, merlin. ] Some people even do it outdoors.

[sortileges]

[ He only wondered if Ai was into perverts?! Why did it go this far?!

His hands move to cover his face as he groans (in pain!!!) at where this is taking them. ]

Why are you telling me this? [ It's probably a bit muffled, but she should be able to hear it. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ HOW IS HE IN PAIN WHEN SHE IS THE ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS?! ]

I don't even know anymore! [ she flails her arms wildly. merlin, please think of something else to talk about. ]

here 2 help ur thirst

[sortileges]

[ Because he's the one listening!!!!

He finally pulls his hands down and wow okay for once he's actually red as well. But no, he can't think right now. He blinks a few times, but his heart is pounding because whenever it comes to these things 1 + 1 makes 2 and he thinks of different situations.

I mean technically he touched her boob on the couch if you want to put it like that, Athena.

Which he is now thinking of, thanks. His hand moves back up, only to smack himself across the eyes. ]

Maybe-- [ His voice sure did dip then, huh? He freezes when he realises as well and hopes that Athena is too traumatised by her own mind to notice. ]

gtfo

[psycholawgy]

[ what the heck. she moves his hands to check his eyes if they're okay. ]

Did you poke yourself or something?!

:* :* :*

[sortileges]

[ There's no protest when she pulls his hand away but... he doesn't look her in the face, almost like he's ashamed. ]

What kind of idiot do you take me for?

[psycholawgy]

[ she lets go when he speaks, crosses her arms, and looks away. ]

Well, so much for being concerned.

[sortileges]

[ Ah... ]

Sorry. I just... [ Now he's looking away, pulling up one of his knees to rest his elbow there, that same hand slides up into his hair. ] ...ended up thinking about something else.

[ He definitely says that quietly. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ well, she won't ask what it is if he's so ashamed by it, but. . . ]

So long as you're okay, I guess.

[sortileges]

[ Slowly, so slowly, he drags his hand over his face. His other hand reaches out for hers to try and entwine their hands together. ]

I'm fine, sorry for worrying you.

[ Is he even fine? He doesn't even know. He does at least finally look back at her, though if she's paying attention she might notice that his eyes flicker down and over her before they slide away again. ]

So...Rapunzel likes Jaune.

[ ...Sorry, friend, he's throwing you under a bus to save himself. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she feels bad for no reason in particular - it's as if she's done something wrong to him and she doesn't know what, so when he does take her hand, she doesn't look at him and continues looking at her side. ]

I don't know who Rapunzel is, [ she murmurs, though she kind of remembers the name from lee's hot or not network post. ]

[sortileges]

[ That makes him blink. ]

You don't? [ With how things have gone here he doesn't expect that. Given how everyone he's talked to seems to know Athena... He. Doesn't know how to explain who Rapunzel is either. ]

I... arrived at the same time as her. [ And they're actually pretty close, but he doesn't know how much he should say about that when Athena won't even look at him. ]

...Hey. [ His hand reaches to her chin, trying to get her to tilt her head towards him again. He's learning though, because it's probably the third time he's seen this reaction now. ] You haven't done anything wrong.
