[ she looks up at him at that, curious. it probably isn't the best time to ask about iris, though. ]
I don't know what happened to Iris, but Mr. Wright's a really good guy. I met him while I was studying in Europe. I didn't really have much purpose in life... that's what I thought, anyway. But he told me to study law so I can save Simon.
I can tell. [ The doofus part, that is. The ice cream trip had proven that. Thouqgh he shakes his head at the apology. ]
Take your time, I know. It isn't easy opening up about things, so don't worry. [ He wrote her a letter and fucked off for that exact reason...ah ] I'll be more careful in future.
[ if she could run and just slam into him right now, she would. but all she can manage is a really tight hug. probably the tightest she's ever given him ever. ]
You're the best.
[ the smile on her face is pretty goofy now, but she can't hide how happy she feels. that somebody understands. she doesn't like talking about herself that much, so this was a new experience for her. ]
[ And in term he makes a sad wheezy noise as his lungs ache. Ow. ]
Well, I wasn't going to say anything-- [ Ah... it's a nice difference though to how it was before. He's a little proud of himself for adapting to her as well. ]
[ as if she can even disagree with him??? she looks at him with so much love in her eyes before she kisses him. her movements are pretty slow so he can push her away if he doesn't want it. she'd just give him a really tight hug again if he did. ]
[ Why the hell would he push her away? He just tips his head a bit to make it easier, letting her sink against him as much as she wants while the kiss descends into something slow and solid. ]
[ she does end up leaning against him some more as she melts into the kiss. one of her hands move up to his hair, stroking it gently. she wants to tell him she loves him over and over, but she'll let her kisses do that for her, instead. ]
[ ah... well then. she'll just say it!!!! she doesn't feel bad about it anymore when he does pull away, understanding where he's coming from. better not accidentally pressure him into anything, anyway. ]
[ Best girlfriend tbh. ] Hey? [ He's smiling with her though when he glances at her face, letting that same gaze drop to her lips where his thumb grazes. ] What is it?
[ His fingers just splay across her skin as he watches as well, and look...at least with this she knows he does want to keep kissing her, he just knows it's a bad idea. ]
When you need to, or want to go back home, just tell me, okay?
[ because she realises too that he was probably doing something. or whatever. who knows. it's a bit too late to ask what he was doing before clonco showed up at his front door. besides, it's getting a bit late now, anyway. ]
[ skdjakd no... as if she can smack him like this when she's so flustered that she can't even speak or move. widget isn't even on her to say anything. ]
[ Probably for the best, who knows what widget would say at a time like this. ]
Hmm? [ He doesn't even think anything weird of it, instead smoothing his hand up and down her back gently, eyes dipping to her shoulder so he can admire her hair and how she looks in the dress. ]
