❤ Week 1 Mingle

Welcome to a new week, lovebirds! Monday dawns gray and misty, and it's actually not long before a thunderstorm rolls in! You can, of course, kiss dramatically in the yard in the rain and risk getting struck by lightning-- or you can stay inside, cuddle in the conversation pit, USE THE GODDAMN BOOM BOOM ROOM or do anything else until the storm blows over by the evening! Don't worry, the rest of the week will be bright and sunny and beautiful!

There's also a new section of the house, weirdly enough! There's a bright turquoise door located near the bedroom and opening it leads to... a massive indoor pool. The water is a pleasant temperature, there's a hot tub, there's an assortment of flotation devices for those of you who might have trouble swimming (tubes, life vests, boogie boards, pool noodles that can also be used to wage Deadly Combat if you are Sara and Kasque or Jeritza or anyone else ready for Violence). And if you somehow didn't pack a swimsuit because why on earth would your canon let you have one--

Worry not!! There's a rack of swimsuits in every size you lot could need! The catch (or not): they're all sexy. Like. Barely there sexy. Impossibly adhering to you sexy. Shoelaces would maybe cover more sexy. Absolutely great to play Chicken Fight in sexy. You get the idea.

Anything having to do with being able to write is still also Not Present.

Enjoy!!!

[ imagine if she wasn't as quick with her reflexes as she is; they'd totally be eating it. but she is and they're safe though as they reach the cone and he places a hand on her shoulder she will flinch for a moment.

more like a reaction to the touch than being spooked by it. ]

It isn't terrible.

[ just. there are reasons that she's not going to put into words because she doesn't know how to put them into words. though there will be an attempt given that he is being so considerate of the whole arrangement. ]

...it's just new.

[ which kind of gets to the point. ]

[He isn’t surprised. He even notes the flinch beneath his hand, and it’s more than obvious to Rufus that she’s encroaching on new territory here.]

It’s not unusual to face a new experience with some uncertainty, but I’ll do my best to make it a good one for you.

[He has the advantage of not being fazed by a single kiss. For good or ill, Rufus is rarely lacking in confidence or the motivation to make the first move. And he does in this case, too, one hand gently coming in to tilt her chin up as he leans in to give her a lingering kiss on the lips.]

[ well!! thank you rufus for doing the thing that someone else wasn't able to do. despite his wishes, she will still flinch at the kiss to start off with and she just kind of...stand there. oh if only a certain could see the two of them now. they'd probably be throwing a riot but they're not here and instead kuchiha finds herself frozen in place.

...mostly in place because while this was just a single kiss for him, it quite isn't for her. or more like that she isn't there mentally where she can do that sort of thing. not that she wants to make it seem that obvious but her face flushes deeply.

betrayed by her body. ]

[wankos]

[ ...

ahem. just one more moment for her to come back to her senses. ]

...w, well, that wasn't terrible so I...appreciate that.

[corporative]

"Wasn't terrible?"

[He scoffs, but it's light-hearted and without any real offense. To Rufus, a kiss is just a kiss, though he'd be lying if he said he didn't take some enjoyment out of it. But he can't say that the gesture was returned; she was as stock-still as a stature.

At least the flush in her cheeks gives something away.]

What a backhanded compliment. So you're as red as a beet because it was a run-of-the-mill kiss, is that it?
