[ hmm, she lets out a soft noise of pleasure, clearly enjoying this massage.
she should have told him that he's not the only reason why she was stressed. she's been stressed over that npc post, too. but everybody should be thinking about it, truth be told. people can enjoy their lives here all they like, but at some point, they're going to have to make their move. ]
It's never happened to me, not even when I was learning judo.
[ Leaning forward slightly, he lets his hands press into her shoulderblades again, only this time there's a soft murmur of something in return. He's cautious about it though, careful to not startle her when his hands warm a little. He curls his fingers and palms over her shoulders, making sure he kneads at the muscles properly.
Really he should be worrying about that more, but it's impossible to know what to do without more information.]
I think ... [ He pauses even with his hands for a second, before resuming, his voice going even softer. ] I forget sometimes. How tough you can actually be.
[ ...That isn't supposed to be an insult. ] Or I did.
[ He can feel it though, which is weird. Though honestly? He's smiling even wider at her words. ]
You are really cute. Pretty. Beautiful. Stunning. [ Now he's just going to list a bunch of words that are 100% true while his fingers fan out, towards her sides, gliding down her back. When they reach her waist they curve around the side so he can use that hold to keep steady.
He leans forward then, kissing the small area of skin that shows above her collar, and even though it still aches, he nuzzles his nose there. ] Precious. Perfect...
[ He's definitely doing it on purpose. As soon as she starts kicking and slapping he shifts his hold on her waist to try and lay across her to stop the movements but without putting all his weight on her. ]
Atheeeeeeeeena [ He returns softly, finally shifting a bit so his weight definitely isn't on her anymore, but he doesn't pull away. Instead, she'll feel a faint pressure through her shirt as he kisses the top of her back, slowly kissing a little further down over and over, until he covers the top part of her spine.
It's a long lingering moment before he says: ] I love you.
[ this is killing her inside. it really feels like a dream come true every time he says "i love you", and it takes a lot out of her to hide a goofy smile because she's just so happy. so content.
she moves a bit until she can roll to her back so she can face him, not even minding the closeness. (though he probably would.) it's just so she can kiss him on the nose. ]
[ Well to be fair, she could just hide her face in her arms or hair but... well. It's both a blessing and a curse when she starts to move. He leans back to give her space, looking confused. Though he doesn't pull back much further than a few extra inches.
She might find that the confidence partly came from her not facing him though, because when she says it back to him he might grin stupidly but his skin does flush a bit and he ends up pressing his elbow into the bed and hiding his forehead against her shoulder. ]
You're still a little bit weird though. [ He's teasing... ]
[ eh, she's been told she's weird so many times that it's nothing. she doesn't know how much he's been told he's weird, but this is fortunately a competition that athena wouldn't mind losing in. ]
You're weirder. I mean, you scream and jump in cinemas and all.
[ she laughs, at least, a hand making way for his hair to stroke the back of his head lovingly. ]
[ Well, he will take that to be honest. He's the one more out of time and place, though he's at least trying to adapt well enough now. Though. Wow?? ]
That was one time. [ He shifts a little when her hand moves into his hair, trying to settle in a comfortable enough way that she isn't too uncomfortable. It's difficult, but he tries to make sure she won't suffocate etc. Ah. ]
[ Well that's the best kind of smothering-- wait. Though ok, ok... ]
This is nice though. [ Another soft murmur, and really his own sleepiness is starting to sink in now he's comfy and they're so warm like this. He nuzzles his cheek against her shoulder to make his point. ]
[ she's so comfortable like this, too. even if she isn't on her own bed. even she could fall asleep right now, an arm still around merlin as if he's a pillow. ]
[ His eyes do stay shut this time, lips parting just slightly as he concentrates on winding down and finally letting the lack of sleep from the past few days catch up to him. His arms curl against her sides, head tilting to kiss the bottom of her neck softly. It lingers, before he just starts to doze off there to be honest.
It's the happiest he's felt in a long time, so much that his heart is probably singing right now. ]
[ and it's practically a lullaby that's sounding her off to sleep. though she tries to stay awake for a bit longer, even though her eyes are closing and she can't bare to open them anymore. she just wants to savour this moment - that they're together and they overcame a hurdle together. it feels nice, and calming, and this is probably one of the best days she's lived.
it might just be her being excited about everything and overflowing with emotion, but she loves him so much. and she'll love him even more tomorrow, and then the day after that, and so on. ]
[ It's a few hours later when he finally wakes up, though at first he forgets where he is. Not that he forgets them sorting this out, talking, making up. He's just a bit foggy from such a great sleep, and more than a bit comfortable. He makes a small noise as his eyes open, staring at the opposite wall as he nuzzles his cheek a bit.
It's almost as though he's fighting to go back to sleep, honestly, but after a minute or so he shifts a little to look towards her face only... to realise where his own ended up.
No wonder he's super comfortable, tbh.
Instead of jerking away he forces his shoulders and back to relax, telling himself this is probably okay. ]

Instead he presses his palms flat against her and pushes them up her back to try and relieve tension. ]
