[Just another heavy cringe before he leans and tilt his head back, clenching his teeth as he feels the last of it finally passing through before he can finally relax again.]

It's fine, I kind of asked for it for being a jerk earlier.

[Just a little strained because man that was one doozy of a brain freeze. But it'll pass quickly.]

[mooglebow]

[Just. Gonna stare at him for a moment, before cupping his cheeks with her hands, leaning in, and kissing his forehead.]

You're so stupid. I said I wouldn't worry, and I didn't, but I am concerned that you just... did that.

[rokubro]

[He honestly wasn't sure where she was going with this, so the kiss on the forehead is a very pleasant surprise. So there's just a light chuckle as he looks at her.]

Hey, I'm a daemon and it's just a brain freeze. It's not the worst thing.

[mooglebow]

Yeah, yeah. You still didn't have to do that, you know.

[The hands that are still on his cheeks give just the gentlest of caresses... before she pinches both of his cheeks and pulls them a little.]

...there. Now we're even, I think. I didn't think I'd be pouring out too much of the rum but I was trying not to. Just enough to scare you a little. I didn't think it was that important to you, but you showed me.

[rokubro]

Ow ow ow—!

[Cheeks pulled!! How mean, especially after he started to let his guard down from that gentle caress!! But also. Fair in the grand scheme of things.

He just kind of winces a little, but at the mention of the rum and its importance, he just pouts a little.]

It's not so much "important" and just... Well it would have been a waste if you really dumped it all, especially since it's actually pretty good.

[mooglebow]

I wasn't going to. I also thought about just dumping your ice cream on you, but that seemed a little too mean. ...maybe nudging a bruise by "accident" but that would have made me feel really bad, especially after everything. So I went with the least mean thing I could think of.

[She'll be honest with him, at least?! But no, actively hurting an injury or doing any of that really would have made her feel terrible for a lot of reasons, but the alcohol could be a casualty, even for just a shot glass worth of it.]

So the rum got the worst of it instead of you. ...I feel bad even thinking about the other two before that, if I'm honest, so... I'm sorry I did.

[rokubro]

...Even if you didn't do it, the fact that you thought of it still says a lot about your ideas of revenge. [A very wry if wary grin. Maybe he should think twice about his pranks—]

But since you feel bad about it—

[Just going to suddenly lean in and steal a kiss.]

—now we're good.

[Cheeky grin is very cheeky.]

[mooglebow]

Yeah, but I feel bad that I even thought of those things in the first place! That isn't what I should think of, those are just mean--

[... you know. She'll let the kiss slide.]

That's all it takes for us to be good, huh?

[rokubro]

[Just a careless grin and a shrug.]

What can I say, I'm a simple guy.

[mooglebow]

Yeah, I guess you are. At least now I know it doesn't take much for you to put something behind you. Imagine everyone else who has gotten a kiss from you for that same reason!

[Considering she's laughing, she's joking... probably.]

[rokubro]

[Pft. He can tell she's joking, but he's running with it, anyway.]

I'm a little more selective than that. Only the ladies get that treatment, the guys get a kiss from my blade instead.

[If he were more of a ladies man—that actually could have been a true statement.]

But you're getting off a little easy now. I may have to ask for more depending on future transgressions.

[mooglebow]

Glad I'm not a guy, then, and I get the other kind.

[Though it's not like she hasn't gotten hit by his blade already, but.

His response in general gets a raised eyebrow. "More" huh?]

Like what, two instead of one kiss? Oh no, how terrible.

[rokubro]

Maybe.

[And are those his hands at her sides? And is that his face moving closer to her and dipping down to her neck? Why yes. Yes all that is happening.

But instead of what she might be thinking, he ends up........





.....................tickling her.]

[mooglebow]

Wh-- Rokurou, what are--

[His getting close like that, and then going toward her neck, she braces for his worst (and of course, to enjoy it) until... UNTIL...

He starts tickling her. She's really glad she hadn't grabbed her ice cream again, because it would have gone alllllll over the floor, but in between her laughter and flailing and trying to get him to stop, she does smack the container of the whipped cream...

...to get it on to them and the floor. Whoops.]

[rokubro]

[Yes, he could have gone thought route, but he went for the more fun one instead. Punishment and all that. Plus it's nice to hear her laugh, and he's starting to laugh as well as he continues his terrible attack.

However, he had not expected the whip cream to suddenly splatter everywhere—okay maybe he should have been more aware of things but he honestly just forgot about it.]

Whoa—! Whoops—

[Well. It did make him stop, arms raised a little bit as he stares at the whip cream splattered on them.]

[mooglebow]

[...well it was better than her accidentally slamming a hand into an injury of his, at least? So she's at least grateful for that, and she's kind of giggling still, but she's looking at the ice cream topping on her arm, shirt, and a little on her cheek, she thinks?

And then there's Rokurou, who doesn't look like he came out unscathed in the whipped cream massacre.]

S-sorry, you... [just gonna giggle here] you kinda deserved that...

[rokubro]

[He's got a long, splattering streak starting from a little on his lower cheek, a few specks on his neck to the exposed neckline, down his shirt, and across his arm, so yeah definitely not unscathed. He'll just be in his assumed awkward position for a few moments before he looks at her.

...Pfft.]

Maybe so. So here, let me make it up to you by helping clean up a bit.

[And then there's just a devilish glint in his eye as he first leans in to bring his lips to that cheek, licking off that bit of cream before pulling back with a smirk.]

[mooglebow]

H-hey, Roku--!

[Ooh-- that was rude. Well... kind of rude... it's kind of hot?? But he shouldn't be doing that?! She's blushing pretty furiously at his actions though!]

[rokubro]

[Oh he sees that blush. He had planned to just end it there, just an extreme form of teasing, but... Even he couldn't resist going in for just a little more.]

Hold on, think I missed a spot.

[There's still that little glint and smirk as one hand goes to her side while the other moves to her other cheek, tilting her face up a bit to expose more of her neck. She'll then feel his lips against the top of her neck, near the underside of her jaw before he starts to travel down a bit. Slowly.

Yeah.

There's no whip cream here.]

[mooglebow]

A-ah, R-Rokurou, you--

[Nnnnnot gonna complain. He should be careful that he doesn't reopen anything, but she's not pushing him away, no. She'll just pull him right on in. That little glint in his eye is probably her undoing here, isn't it?

It's not, it's his kissing her neck is what is her undoing, don't even lie to yourself, Serah.]

[rokubro]

[He might be a little "aggressive" in the sense that's just going forward with this without much warning. But he's also not going to be too forceful, either, both out of consideration for both their conditions, but also because he actually expects her to push away.

However, when she doesn't and actually seems to pull him in? He's not going to stop. As he continues his little journey south, lips kissing and tongue lightly brushing over tender skin, he'll be working to pull her more onto his lap. Honestly he gave real consideration in pushing her back, but that's probably more dangerous (and might still happen, depending).

And once she's repositioned, one hand may be slipping under her shirt.]

[mooglebow]

[Ahh she does have a second thought about this and she breaks away from him for a moment to look him over. She doesn't push him completely away, just enough to stop his kissing... for the moment. No problems with staying in his lap though!

While she looks over his features, her hand brushes his hair away to show off the daemon markings on his face, brushing over them softly, just fingers tracing.]

Huh. I think there's something here, too.

[It's said in a serious, quiet tone, before she leans in to get some of the whipped cream off of his cheek and neck. Yeah, you aren't the only one who gets to do this, Rokurou!]

[rokubro]

[He's not too surprised when she pulls away from him. A little remiss because he was enjoying himself, but he had a feeling she might break away. Maybe it's for the best? His hands are "resetting" at least so that they're in more appropriate positions.

He'll let her look him over, just eyes watching a little curiously when she brushes his hair back before they close when he feels her fingertips brushing against his markings. He's growing to like it when she does that, relaxing a bit...until he half-hears her words and feel her doing the same thing he had been to her.

Although not flustered by it, he is a bit surprised...but pleasantly so. Honestly he never would have expected Serah to return the favor, so to speak. At least not yet. So he just enjoys it, a low hum escaping him when she reaches his neck. He even tilts his head a bit to give her more access because he is certainly isn't going to stop her...right away, anyway.

There comes a point where it's his turn to pull back, but only so that he could catch her mouth with his, pulling her into a deep and almost impatient kiss.]

[mooglebow]

[His actions and his little hum spur her on, more than she thought they would when she started, but here she was, being just as terrible as he had been. His own movement away is a disappointment, but he moves quickly to kiss her instead which is not unwelcome, nor does she hesitate in returning it.

She is trying to be mindful of what she presses against and whatever she may brush against, considering she doesn't want to hurt him or really... stop... right now. So while she's not as intense as Rokurou, it's more of a mindful "should my hands go here so I don't hurt or disrupt this" and if he watches her, or notices, it's obvious it isn't from lack of interest!

Unless he pauses, she'll inch closer and, after finding suitable places for her hands to actually go, her hands will trail up over his shoulders with one lingering and the other to his marked cheek since she saw how much he seemed to enjoy that-- it's something she'll employ a lot more as time goes on-- and let that hand stay where it is, as if holding him in place to urge him to continue.]

[rokubro]

[He does notice how careful she's being, although he doesn't really mind where her hands go, even if she may brush against a sore spot here and there. So catching onto her signals, his own hands will resume their own wandering. The one that had slipped beneath her shirt travels upwards along her back, also minding her injuries. It's the only reason why he isn't being more aggressive than he normally would. The other hand remains behind her head, also keeping her in place as he continues the kiss, but it, too, soon begins to travel lower.

One of the good things about actually needing to be mindful about her injuries is that he has to actually move slower, his touch a little more lingering but no less sensual in nature. And so long as she doesn't pull away, he'll continue to do his little "wandering," hands skirting to her back or sides whenever he gets close to her chest.

Not to say it isn't tempting to do otherwise.]
