[It would be a lie to say he wasn't disappointed or that he didn't wish she had continued going further, but in the back of his mind he gets it. So he'll continue skirting that line—literally at times, his touches sometimes pushing dangerously teasing as he continues to feel and explore her more—but he manages to hold himself in check. If barely.
There is a point where he does return to her mouth, his kisses a little slower and more drawn out until she feels his lips at her ear, a bit of a smirk as he speaks in a very low murmur.]
Starting to think you don't want me to stop.
[Different meaning he knows, but still teasing her all the same.]
[With the way he's positioned, it's hard for her to really explore him while he does the same, but when he comes back up for more slowburn kisses? She's pretty eager to return them, even going so far as to chase him, essentially, trying to get more when he whispers to her. She only grins some, catching his lips with her own before she says anything.]
You're making it hard to want to say stop, Roku, so I guess I don't want you to.
[And with an added nip at his lower lip, mischievous smile following:]
[Just a smirk in return as he kisses her, hands once more roaming towards more suggestive areas. Like partly pushing up her top, suggestive (though it would be a miracle if it hadn't already shifted up a bit from everything else).]
I know I don't want to.
[Stop, that is. It's just another heated whisper before he pulls her into a rougher kiss, movements and touch just a little more aggressive.
He of course will, but the longer this goes, the more likely he might resist at first. That sense of logically they should stop before things get too far, but do they really want to stop? Honestly he probably could use the whole spilled whip cream that started this to begin with as an excuse, but he's long forgotten about it.]
[It's there in the back of her mind that they should, especially since the kisses and the touching are getting more aggressive and wanting. A lot more hungry than before. She knows what he wants. What she's really growing to want out of this. But they really shouldn't. Not yet. Even if her hand is moving toward where she had stopped herself before--
She pulls away though, knowing that, and boy does she look disappointed that she's even saying it. She already said she didn't want to, but--]
But-- but we should. Stop, I mean.
[Yeah, she's frowning that she said that, but... if they go any further, it might be something that's laced with regret later, so...] I don't want to, but I know we should.
[It's hard for him to not feel some disappointment. There is definitely a desire that has not been completely fulfilled, but it can't be said that it's dissatisfied, either. It's not like he had planned any of this to happen—hell, it's certainly not what he expected given how this even started.
He doesn't say anything for a few moments, hands lingering where they are. It does briefly cross his mind to just push, anyway, to try and convince her otherwise. But he, too, knows full well that they're not prepared to go any farther. Emotionally, physically...and other reasons. His fingertips lightly brush over her skin one last time before he lets out a long exhale.]
All right.
[She can probably hear that bit of disappointment in his own voice, one that matches her own. But he gets it, he really does, so he tugs her shirt back down and leans up a little to look at her properly. Only then is there a soft smile of understanding, and he gives her one last kiss before he rolls off of her to be more alongside her.]
[No, he's probably right, but like Rokurou when it came to her, she's finding that she doesn't like to see him disappointed like that. So she catches his hand in her own.]
I don't like that look on you. I don't want to disappoint you, I want to make you happy.
[This is not helping him in trying to restrain himself. Just seeing her feel bad about this makes him want to kiss her again, and he knows where that would go.]
I'm a little disappointed, sure, but I'm already happy enough as it is. Just being with you is enough for that. And if you really feel bad about it...
[Just a playful smile as he leans in closer.]
You can make it up to me later.
[When they're both ready. Well, mostly her, he's clearly okay with it.]
I'm telling you, it's fine. [Seriously, he can't help but laugh a bit as he slips his arms around her and pulls her to him.] Besides, you seemed a bit disappointed yourself.
A little. But that's probably because I don't like seeing people disappointed. And, you know, you're special to me so I really don't like seeing you disappointed with me or something I've done.
[Just going to look up at him; she's probably more disappointed that she made him disappointed than she is why he was originally like that.]
[This one gets returned too, and another one, and another one as well... though she knows if they continue they'll be back where they started too. So she eventually pulls away from him with a light smile on her face.]
All right, all right, I believe you, Pupperou.
[She brushes some of his hair back and lingers on his jaw before brushing over the mark on his neck.]
I can make it up another time. I want to see you smile when you're with me, you know?
[Yes, this is definitely dangerous, but it's just so easy to sink into it. But when she pulls back and touches his mark, there's already a smile there, one that becomes a little more amused at her words.]
I know—and believe me, I do. You're rivaling swords and fighting as the top things that make me smile.
[His grin is more cheeky as he's clearly teasing her.]
Almost better than swords? That's high praise coming from you, Rokurou.
[But in probably a surprise to him, she'll just gather him up to hold on to him, to be as close as she can.]
And it looks you're much happier compared to when you walked through the door with me. So... I think your intention to cheer up worked, even if it meant some rum went down the drain, huh?
Exactly. You might be more dangerous than I initially thought.
[Again said with a bit of a smirk. And her holding onto him is a very pleasant surprise, one that he definitely will not complain about or resist.
Although at the reminder of why he came here to begin with... There's only a slight change of his expression, a small downturn of his lips as he recalls not the rum (which was despairing in its own right) but his brother. So there's a moment where he's silent, thinking back on their little "reunion"...before he just erases it. He doesn't really want to think about him right now of all places, so he just closes his eyes and presses his face against Serah's neck, as if seeking refuge from even that annoying memory. But what he chooses to say instead may throw her off from what he's really thinking about.]
Alas, as much as I hate to remember, the rum did make a noble sacrifice.
[The loss of rum really was pretty bad!]
Although... [And then there's a smirk against her skin.] Did I miss some whip cream?

[He reaches over to brush back her hair, fingertips against her cheek.]
It's for the best and better to stop now than get carried away and have to cut things short later. Then it really would have been bad.

I didn't mean to disappoint you that much though, that's what I feel the worst about.

But I guess I care about your feelings more than my own.

Date: 2019-07-27 07:40 am (UTC)[Just going to enjoy the warmth of her body pressed against his.]
Otherwise, I'm going to feel like I need to cheer you up, and I'm pretty sure we'll be in a vicious cycle of disappointments if that happens.
