[ he gets a rather strong jab at his side for all that tickling.






SORRY MERLIN. ]

[sortileges]

[ Okay this time he hisses loudly as she jabs him in the side, jerking back and--





falling off the bed. There's a soft groan from the floor but lbr... it was his fault. ]

[psycholawgy]

Yeah! Take that!

[ she's punching at the air now, seated up.

sorry. ]

[sortileges]

[ She will be. He reaches up to pull her wrist when she punches the air and tugs.

He's careful about it though because while Athena is light... he doesn't want either of them to get injured. His eyes flash and the pillow she'd been gripping before skids down to cushion her fall... onto him. ]

[psycholawgy]

Ee— [ and before she could finish, she falls over with an "oof!"

then she just looks at him, cheeks puffed. she looks offended for a few good seconds before she just bursts into laughter. ]

[sortileges]

[ His hands reach up from where he grabbed her to stop her from falling too harshly, pressing down on her cheeks and smiling back up at her. ]

That didn't quite go to plan.

[psycholawgy]

[ ah... he's so cute when he smiles. what a boob. ]

Oops.

[sortileges]

[ Not as cute as her though ofc. His thumbs slide over her cheeks before his hands just drop to rest on the floor. He laughs then and says: ]

This definitely isn't as comfortable as the bed. ...Though I've probably rested on worse.

[psycholawgy]

[ WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE A COMPETITION WITH YOU, MERLIN. you're cuter ok ok.

eventually, she stops laughing and just rests her head on his chest. ]

I could sleep here.

[sortileges]

[ UM?? Who is miss competetive here? 'Cos it isn't him?!

His arms wind around her when she rests on him though, holding her securely. ]

You aren't on the floor.

[psycholawgy]

[ she nuzzles her head against his chest, clearly getting comfortable right here and then. even though they're on the floor. who cares? ]

At least it's not dirty.

[sortileges]

[ His hands slides up into her hair, fiddling with the tie kind of like he's asking if he can tug it off to let her hair down. At least now he's accepted his fate as a floor cushion. ]

Shigeru would have a heart attack if it was.

[psycholawgy]

[ it's actually a headband! and he can take it off if he likes. he can take it all off if he likes.................. :') ]

Then it's really good that the floor is clean, then. I'm glad you guys help each other out.

[sortileges]

[ When there's no protest he pulls at the thread, letting it unravel gently, her hair spillong loose. He drops the headband to the floor on his right and slides his hands up to gently thread through her hair. After a moment his fingers starting massaging her scalp, trying to relax her even more. ]

I don't want him to struggle any more than he already does.

[psycholawgy]

[ with her hair down now, it's like she has a blanket on top of her considering how long and thick her hair is. but she doesn't mind. it's easier to fall asleep like this, too. but she isn't going to. not yet. ]

I wish you could've met Ryuko. She was my first friend here, and we ended up living together. Kind of like you and Shigeru.

[sortileges]

[ Not yet but even he's starting to feel super warm and sleepy like this. His fingers slip to the back of her neck, slowly brushing against her skin with his thumbs before he shifts his arms so his hands can knead at her shoulders slowly, paying full attention to her. ]

Maybe one day I will. We don't know what will happen yet.

[psycholawgy]

[ she moves her shoulders a bit, surprised by the contact, but she ends up flopping on him right back again. ]

Mm. Maybe.

This feels good.

[sortileges]

[ He licks his lips just out of being nervous for being so touchy here but he's still smiling after. ]

Yeah? [ His thumbs press down and rub in small curcles, fingertips spreading out over her shoulderblades to knead there gently. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she nods slowly, accompanied with an agreeing moan. ]

Yeah... [ she just breathes it out, definitely showing she's so relaxed at this point in time. ] It does.

[sortileges]

[ A tiny laugh bubbles up then. ]

Sorry for putting you through so much stress. [ But hopefully this helps get rid of some of it. His eyes flutter as he concentrates on pressing his fingers into her spine, slowly dragging them down the center of her back then back up. As a moment though he pauses, hesitates as he flusters a little. ]

It might... [ Ah ] ...be better without your jacket if you want...? [ This isn't trying to get you undressed, Athena, it's just an after thought. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she shakes her head and slowly gets off him, crawling back to the bed. her lazylike motions really do give off the sense that she's sleepy and wants to relax, but time with merlin is important, too. she takes off her jacket and just drops it to her side, not even caring to fold it or anything. she's lazy, okay. ]

Well, if you're going to do this, then you might as well go hard.

[ with the massage, she means. ]

[sortileges]

[ At first he thinks he's ruined it and asked for too much even if he was giving the option for her to say no as well but then she's pulling the jacket off, leaving him to sit up utterly bewildered with what is happening.

And really his own room has the odd t-shirt in the corner it's fine.

But even though he knows she means with the massage he still gets a little embarrassed. He's received massages before after injuries, knows how to do them well but...

He ends up biting his lip as he shifts to climb onto the bed as well and just hesitates for a moment. ] I'll probably need to... [ He cants his head a bit, trying to indicate that he means he's be over her just to keep his balance. It's just to let her know in case she jumps again as his knee slides over her leg, straddling her thighs so he can use both his hands freely. It ends up purely professional then though, his palms flattening against her shoulders to start there again, thumbs pressing up towards her neck as his palms slide up in a long push to knead the muscles there. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she doesn't jerk, thankfully, and is just completely calm and relaxed when he resumes the kneading. it's nice this way, and she hopes that she'll be able to return the favour someday. ]

Remember the massage you got when we had our teambuilding? [ she giggles softly, one hand gripping tightly onto the mattress. ] That was funny.

[ sorry. ]

[sortileges]

[ He breathes out slowly as Athena, though he's concentrating hard on trying to remember how this works best. His hands slide up so his thumbs can reach he back of her neck, and this time when he kneads there, there's a little more pressure. ]

How was it funny? [ Ah, it sounds like he's sulking a bit as he drags his thumbs down then, hands twisting until they're clenched into fists as he drags his thumbs down over her spine. He puts a little more pressure in given the angle but...stumbles a little half way down when he catches the back of her bra through her shirt. He clears his throat and ducks his head a bit, but tries to not linger on that. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she feels that in her skin, but makes no notice of it. he's practically touched her breasts through her bra once so this isn't even noteworthy.

ah... ]

You were moving funnily, that's all, [ she says, huffing out another laugh. ]
