[ He's too hungover to be as unfair as he normally would be okay. It's a good time to catch up.
What she says definitely manages to fluster him a little further though, because she's clearly more forward with this than he is, even with the dumb macaron moment. But he isn't going to wait around all day either.
He isn't slow when he leans down, but it feels like it takes forever to finally kiss her properly. They both probably taste of chocolate and fruit. It isn't exactly soft either, as he lets part of his weight push into it. His mouth lingers. ]

A specific phenomenon? You made it vanish like it was nothing.
[ Excuse you, Shiki, this is a little offensive. ]

You saw something I can't see? [ It really isn't easy to comprehend though. ]
Are you saying you saw through my magic?

Merlin. [ He just sulkily digs into the ice cream then, because that isn't fair at all.
Must be hard to be knocked down a peg. ]

[ Unusual name, but he pauses with the ice cream half way to his mouth then. ]
With everything going on someone was bound to eventually. [ A pause ] I didn't think I had a choice.

Hey! You held a sword at me. What else was I supposed to think?
[ Shiki?!?! But no, it matters because you never know what this place will throw at you. ]
[ Shiki?!?! But no, it matters because you never know what this place will throw at you. ]
And how exactly could I have done that? [ This time when he scoops up ice cream and puts it in his mouth, it's done with a scowl on his face. ]
You could have just said, "I don't want to fight." I would have believed you.
[A beat. She stares off into space as if she isn't paying attention to Merlin at all.]
I'm only really interested in fights where the opponent's willing to go all out. I don't get many of those.

[ it's good that he's the one initiating it because if athena did, she might do something wrong again and make things worse. this is better for the both of them, really.
a hand raises to cup merlin's cheek softly as she kisses him back. there's hint of spaghetti and the soup too, but there's definitely more chocolate and berries this time around.
it tastes good. ]

You didn't look like it. [ He gives her a slightly apologetic look, slowing with the ice cream now. ]
But why would you actually look for something like that?

[ His eyes flutter as soon as her hand touches his face and he melts into it a little. It's just soft little kisses in between, taking his time for each one to be felt between them, and to let the taste sink in. Sharing macarons was definitely a good idea.
Carefully he shifts his arm to get a better grip on the bed then lets the hand behind her move to press against her waist, holding on there so he doesn't topple, but also to hold her ]

[ He makes a faint clicking noise. Yeah. Thanks. ]
You never know, maybe I would have thought of something.
[ Probably not........... ]

Going to kill me like the fire, then?
[ He says it rather casually, just because he doesn't know what to expect with her answer. ]

[ she shifts to give his hand a bit of space just so she doesn't crush it or anything, but that's all she does about it for now. her hand moves to his hair, brushing through it softly, and a finger softly traces his earlobe to tickle him.
sharing macarons was definitely a good idea, and a sweet one at that. both literally and figuratively. her lips curve into a smile even as they kiss each other, really unable to hide what she's feeling right now. ]

[ Carefully he twists a little more so they're closer, but he's careful enough to ensure he isn't resting on her or anything. It's when her hand moves into his hair that he makes a soft noise in the back of his throat though, letting her know that it feels nice--or it does until his head jerks to the side with a faint laugh. His shoulder jumps up to protect his ear, but he only mumbles a soft: ] Tickles [ before he's leaning to kiss her again. Leaning to kiss the smile on her lips and how comfortable this feels, even with his dumb headache.
Honestly? This is helping a little bit. ]

[ you can top her all you like, merlin, don't be shy.
that said, there's a faint giggle when he speaks, and when their lips are parted again, she whispers: ]
Sorry-- Don't like it?

[ Ah............
Quietly he leans to press his forehead against hers, tongue licking the corner of his mouth before his teeth dig in there. ]
It was just... different? It's more sensitive when someone else does it.
[ Or at least he hasn't felt the difference when he does it to himself???? ]

[ well of course he wouldn't feel the difference, smh... merlin??? ]
Well, yeah... that was the point.
[ to hit your sensitive spots and stimulate you. . . but ah... shhhh (blush) ]
