[oh, so's his. After all, this is someone who about three weeks ago totally hated him.

... ... ...

Definitely an awkward moment.]

[Aaaand she's realizing what she's doing. A-and starting to pull away. almost hesitantly.]

[Well, here's a surprise. He's pulling her back.

... Yeah, he has no idea what he's doing.]

[Something just stopped working for a moment. Then it started flipping out, fff not good for her new heart to be pulling stunts like that, but jesus. She's keen on staying here, until it really hits her what's happening a few moments in.]

[That's when she shoves away from him, covers her rapidly reddening face, and turns to try to run away.]

...

[Yeah, uh. He just stands there for a moment, totes facing the other direction because, really, what.

... And now he'll go after her again.]

[By that time, she's probably torn off down a hallway or two and is dodging into a random room to sit behind a couch. She's panting. Stresssssssful.]

[well... following whatever direction she went, looking, looking. >|]

[She curls up eventually, making a little sound. Was it perfectly timed?]

[--He runs past wherever it is she hid...only to turn back around.

And slip inside.]

What was that all about?

[ffffff curls up more.]

I-I should ask you the same.

[...well she does have a point.]

You first.

Do you think I can control myself very easily when emotions are strong? [stops being curled, but doesn't make eye contact.]

No. Especially if you were a Nobody for a while.

Then guess.

[pauses, then sighs]

So you actually do feel that way, huh?

[No reply. She's... scared. It might be obvious. But she's trying very hard to hide it.]

[he can be patient when he wants to be. As is this is still weird to him.]

Take your time.

...

Please, don't... hate me for wanting to say yes.

[...sigh.]

I don't.

[Well shit, now she has no idea what to say or do, but her heart is pounding and her stomach is fluttering, and she can't remember ever feeling anything remotely close to what she did (even in her life as a Somebody) when he pulled her back.]

[there's a long pause before he starts moving over to her, slowly.]

... [pulls her knees to her chest a bit. She's not used to feeling this vulnerable, and it's getting to her.]

[And Riku's not exactly good at... well, this. But b'derp, he'll plop right next to her.]

It's fine.

[Her cheeks get hot when he sits next to her. She stares down at her knees.]

[just goes quiet again for a moment. 8|]
