[ ah... it's the kiss that actually pulls her back to reality, or at least, somewhere close to it. she closes her eyes for a brief moment as she kisses him back, biting his lower lip as she pulls away. she can see a bit of light once she opens her eyes but it takes her a while to be able to see colours and images properly.

then she just rests her forehead against his, breathing right into his face as her breath slows down. ]

I can't— [ breathe. ] talk. [ you just did, athena... ]

[sortileges]

[ Slowly and carefully he pulls his hands away, flushing a bit when he doesn't know where to put them. He swallows when she bites at his lips, laughs softly when she struggles to come around. ]

It feels great, right? [ Or at least he's hoping that's what this dazed reaction means. He leans to pepper a few more kisses to her mouth, nuzzling their noses together. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ fsdagsdh merlin why do you have to ask... as if she wasn't already red enough!! which just means she closes her eyes s he won't get a good look at her before she nods. ]

It does. . . [ you don't have to rub it in though jesus ]

[sortileges]

[ Because he wants the satisfaction of hearing it from her. Even if she closes her eyes he still has a good view of her, though when he tries to lean back on the couch he ends up flopping back onto the floor, itterly dazed. Only that aggravates his back enough ro lean up on his elbow, trying to look back at it. ]

What did you do? [ Well it was fine until he aggravared it... ]

[psycholawgy]

[ w o w excuse me!??!?! ]

What did I do? You're the one who kept— [ ah... she reaches for her shirt but ends up letting go of it right away just so it doesn't get dirty. she's back to feeling so exposed now, which is why she uses an arm to cover her breasts. ]

It was your magic.

[sortileges]

[ :*?

He blinks when she says that, looking back at her when he can't see his back to take in the sight of her. Yeah, okay, it's a little perverse when he raises his eyebrows when she tries to cover herself, but it's very hard to not find that attractive. He gets distracted for a moment before he pushes himself to sit up, trying to twist around. ]

Not that-- [ wait what... He frowns then, looking behind himself then... Clears his throat when he realises how far back it rolled along with the rest of the messes in the room. ]

... I didn't even realise.

[psycholawgy]

[ she gets off him slowly, careful that she doesn't accidentally knee his shin or anything. it would have been nice to just relax after what had just happened but he's made that impossible now.

not to mention, she's kind of hungry now... ah.

she looks around to see the mess, though. while she did hear things falling down and such earlier, she just ignored it because she figured it'd be easy to fix. but she certainly didn't expect the living room to end up like this. ]

Ai— [ ah. now she remembers. ] We should probably fix this before Ai gets home.

[sortileges]

[ Look if they'd been in her bedroom it would have been a lot different! They could have snuggled and everything?! He leans to give her a brief kiss, then grabs his discarded shirt to wipe his hand. Ah. That done though he starts getting the furniture to correct itself until he can lean and pick up the ice cream tub. Some dripped on the floor but he uses magic to make the stain disappear, then looks at her as he tugs up his jeans again. ]

There, done. Did you want to um. Shower?

[psycholawgy]

[ oh... well, that was quick. things really are easier when you have magic :( she was going to help but it looks like he has it taken care of.

but ah... yes, a shower sounds great right now. and so would an entire box of pizza.

she gets up now, using the arm that was covering her breasts to have her hand pick up her shirt and bra, then goes back to covering herself. ]

Y- Yeah... [ she'll just grab the blanket later when she's squeaky clean again tbh. ] I should... probably... [ especially when her tummy's gotten all wet too. thanks for that. ]

[sortileges]

[ It is... gomen Athena.

Though he glances up at her when she moves to stand up, moving to lean forward now. ]

Before you get in can I...? [ He makes a gesture with his hands. ] Quickly. I can start dinner then, if you want? It'll be ready when you're out.

[ And he'll just be gross I guess, that's fine. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ oh, he bought dinner for her too? what a sweetie :<

her expression turns puzzled, though. wouldn't he want to shower? really, that's more important than having dinner right now. ]

You can shower first if you want. [ she nods towards the bathroom. ] Go on.

[sortileges]

[ Well... stuff to make dinner for her and Ai, yes. That was the purpose of him going out before! Not ice cream.

Though he blinks at her then, glancing down. ] I'll be quick?

[ Though Athena, you might want to hide if you're going to wait in that state... ]

[psycholawgy]

[ OF COURSE SHE'S GOING TO HER ROOM??? and by the time he's done she'll be wrapped up in one of the towels from earlier smh... if he really is quick, he'll find her tidying up her room and taking out the stuff he prepared earlier that night and putting them back to their proper places. the food goes back in the kitchen, too. ]

delish foos

[sortileges]

[ Yeah but he isn't getting his clothes dirty by taking them with him, hopefully Ai doesn't get home in the meantime--ah. He only takes 5 minutes though to quickly wash off, mostly because his back has got a bunch of red lines on it and it stung to be under the water.

Thanks, love. At least he's... holding his towel securely though when he turns around after knocking and entering her room. ]

I'm done. [ And his hair is just dripping everywhere like a wet dog tbh... well done. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ what... in the world is she looking at??? did he just let himself get wet and leave the bath without cleaning?? why was he so fast? do all men shower this way?!?!?!

still, she makes no comment, and instead gets up and brings her change of clothes with her as she leaves to shower.

merlin pls dry your hair... ]

[sortileges]

[ What kind of judgement is this?! of course he cleaned himself??? He just isn't going to fuck around while in there?

When she's on her way out though, he'll glance back at her. ]

Is spaghetti okay?

[ spaghetti u//u ]

[psycholawgy]

[ they'll never shower together at this rate... but ah. athena looks back at him when he asks that. ]

Sounds great. I can help. I shouldn't take long.

[ not this time, anyway?!?!?! she only took an hour to shower at his place because she used hot water then and it was really relaxing :( but she's also really hungry now so it doesn't take her that long this time. she's only gone for about 15 minutes or so. ]

[sortileges]

[ Oh, he'd definitely slow down for that u////////u

But he gives her a smile then. ]

Meet you in the kitchen then.

[ Because he... needs to get dressed, which is the second thing he does after trying to dry his hair a little more. He only bothers with trousers though so really hopefully Ai doesn't get back just yet. His back is just still sore...

He tries a shirt but it just keeps rubbing uncomfortably...

By the time Athena gets there she'll see that there's a pan with chopped up onions, beef and tomato cooking for the bolognese. There's another pan with water slowly starting to boil, spaghetti set out on the side for 3 servings. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ oh my... (blush)

athena is quiet when she leaves the bathroom though. she's dried her hair a bit so it isn't dripping wet when she gets out, unlike a certain someone here... and she's really only quiet because she wants to surprise him by slamming into him from behind and hugging him.

hopefully he's done chopping stuff bc we don't want him losing a finger or an entire hand. ]

[sortileges]

[ (blush) ...and be overly touchy tbh... gomen.

Thankfully he's just stirring the meat and onions and tomatoes when she slams into him. He falls forward a bit, but thankfully doesn't get injured. He does end up flinching a bit because he's conscious of the fact there could have been an accident. When all is well though, he sighs out to relax. ]

Hello, there.

[psycholawgy]

[ she peeks at the stove from behind to see how he's doing before looking up at him. ]

It smells good. What can I do?

[ a beat. ]

Oh! Oh! And guess what?

[sortileges]

[ He peeks back at her, one eyebrow raising. ]

It just needs to cook now, so it's fine.

...but what?

[ Why is he worried???????? ]

[psycholawgy]

[ ah... she can hear that hint of worry, but he's getting worked up over nothing. her smile turns goofy when she says: ]

I love you. That's all I wanted to say.

[sortileges]

[ Ah... what a cutie. He has to bite his lip and look away because a dumb smile is starting to grow on his own face. He uses stirring everything again as an excuse. ]

I love you too. Just stay like this for a bit?

[ With her hugging on, that is. u//u It's nice.

It feels like they're married... ah ]

[psycholawgy]

Okay.

[ she only hugs him tighter then, not showing any indication of wanting to let go. ]

It feels weird though. You don't have a shirt on.

[ WHY CAN'T THEY GET MARRIED!!!!!! cries ]
