[ she finishes her juice, shaking her head slowly as she does. and once the glass is empty, she puts it back in the basket which she'll be carrying home. her abashed look hasn't changed, though. she's so flustered right now. ]
[ He bites into his lower lip when she pulls back to do that, the look on her face is...
tempting. (not in a gross way jfc) Either way he can't help himself when he reaches out for her face to cup it, laughing out a breath. ]
What kind of face is this? [ It's a soft murmur before he leans to kiss her again. At least they both taste of juice rather than anything else now. ] Stubborn. [ Not like he can say anything about that....... ]
[ he really does know how to make her keysmash internally. her mind almost shuts down at the kis but it reboots when he pulls away. he's got two on athena now, and as flustered as she is, she can't let that happen. ]
You're stubborn-- [ and once again, she returns the kiss, licking her lips when she pulls away.
she'll catch up later. for now, he has a one kiss lead on her. this isn't a competition, but athena would really like to show her affection in this manner. ]
[ Stepping off the blankets he pulls them aside so they won't get caught on anything, and before she can protest holds his hand up. With magic, the blanket folds itself in half first then starts rolling itself up so it's all neatly put away. The pillows seem to... walk??? until they're all flopped on top of each other.
He just shrugs when he looks back at her, reaches to finishes his juice off like he hasn't done anything at all. ] Just shoes left then.
Just thought I'd liven things up a bit. [ ...why is he laughing at this ] Y'know, because they're... moving by themselves.
[ Lame, tbh.
At least he doesn't pull the same trick again and actually walks to pick his own up, it's only when he walks back that he leans to put his glass in the basket and sit on the floor to pull on his shoes properly. ]
[ So they have everything, and it's... finished. The let's go has him reaching for her hand too, rather than causing problems though it's the hand with the basket he reaches for though, curling his hand against hers where she's gripping it.
He even gives her a smile as if to say he thought of this already (he didn't, but her disappointment... was kind of felt by him too so!! Why not like this? ]
[ she can't help but let out a soft laugh when merlin reaches for her hand. why is he such a cutie. but alright, this works. it's not the most convenient of ways to hold hands, but it works, and she likes it.
athena sets down the things she's carrying only while waiting for the elevator, only to pick them up again when the doors open. she'd like to ask what now because at this moment, all she wants to do is be with him. ]
[ Considering he has to dip slightly to make this work, it isn't the greatest of ideas but it'll do. The blankets and pillows aren't too heavy in comparison (and besides, he's used to being used as a packing horse :(
Still, even when the doors reopen and they start walking to her door it's hard to imagine walking away now
especially when all he wants to do is spend the day with her. it's why all he says for a moment is a very helpful: ] Uh...
[ What now indeed. He just stands there for a moment, glancing towards where he knows her and Ai's kitchen is, then towards here he presumes Ai's room might be. It's darker down that way anyway. Quieter. ]
You don't need a reason for that. [ They spend plenty of time together without a reason anyway, no need to start now baka. ]
A text... would be nice. [ They're both idiots here, honestly, he scratches at the side of his face then glances towards the door. ] I should probably... make sure Shigeru isn't having a panic attack though so...

It's signifying that it's almost time for them to go though. Especially when he adds: ]
Is it just the blanket on the floor and the pillows left?
no subject
[ which she can carry herself. ]

[ Show off tbh ]
no subject
You- You weren't supposed to do anything. It was my surprise, so I should've fixed it up.
[ a beat, and her expression lightens. ]
But thanks... [ she bends down to put her shoes on now. ]

Thanks. For last night. It was... fun.
no subject
And Athena don't make this sound like a hook up?!?! ]
It was. [ He glances back at her. ] We have plenty of time to do something like this again though, right? Maybe not here, but... Other things.
no subject
she gets up and grabs the cooler and the basket. ]
Okay, I may actually need your help with the blankets this time. But, yes, next time sounds lovely.
no subject
Thankfully he does reach for the blankets normally once his shoes are on and he's standing. It's easy enough to hold them in one hand. ]
Next time. [ It feels like an even better promise than the last time they did this. ] Do we have everything?
no subject
That's everything.
[ she smiles, unsure. ]
I guess that's it. Let's go? [ she makes a motion to extend her hand, but she's carrying so much stuff that she can't even reach for his.
ah.... ]
no subject

I can handle things from here.

You should probably put these down first.

[ and with a huff, she sets some of the things down on a nearby counter. ]
Could you just put the blankets on the couch?
no subject
Now what? Somehow it was easier the times before when they said goodbye in the elevator. ]
...Done. [ What a pro. ]
no subject
what... what now. ]
Do you want something to drink or eat before you go? [ she laughs amiably. ] I just want a reason to be with you longer.
no subject
You don't need a reason for that. [ They spend plenty of time together without a reason anyway, no need to start now baka. ]
no subject
Then... I'll text you, or something!
