[ 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...
Next time. [ He repeats, then adds: ] Later. Sometime later.
[ He starts to step towards then door then, only seems to think better of it, glancing back and biting on his lip. It's then that he turns on his heel in a bit of a rush, leaning to kiss her once more. It's with a laugh that he steps away this time, saying over his shoulder: ]

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.... ]

I can handle things from here.
no subject
You should probably put these down first.
no subject
[ 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!

[ SO.............. ]
no subject
Then... [ ah, this is so awkward.
she claps her hands together as if she just came up with a bright idea. (it's not a very bright one.) ]
I'll see you next time.

Just one for the road.
