Event Thirteen.

The cracks of paint and varnish on the brow; Soon to distrust all impulses of flesh That strews its sawdust on the chamber floor, While at the window peer two crones Who once were Juliet and Jessica. | |
Welcome to Awash's thirteenth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. Please keep in mind that while this is a general event log, it is also an intro log; be sure to pay plenty of attention to our newcomers! |
no subject
I... I was serious too.
[A pause...and then he huffs out an amused (embarrassed) breath.]
... I think we're both really embarrassed now, aren't we?
no subject
[Shiho's mouth twitches into a smile despite her embarrassment.]
I've found that happens a lot when I'm with you. [But she doesn't actually dislike it.]
no subject
[He looks way too fond, too, despite everything.]
But I'm not surprised you're good at flustering people. You're Shiho-chan.
no subject
Well... of course. [Still, she's blushing when she says it because while she knows she's cute and that her psychometry gives her an edge, there's something about hearing him tell her so that has her looking away briefly again.]
....And you're way too good at flustering people yourself, Minato-kun. [There's something about his sincerity coupled with everything he says that just destroys her every single time.]
no subject
It's fine.
He can't deny that he's a little pleased, but part of that? Is because after all of that mirror nonsense, they somehow managed to spin something positive about the situation.]
I think you're overestimating me a little. All I'm doing is telling you the truth, you know?
no subject
He sounds pleased and despite it all, Shiho can't help smiling a little herself. Thanks, Mr. F??]
And you're underestimating yourself. Being able to tell the truth just like it's nothing makes you really dangerous, you know? [She's kind of in danger herself.... (which is a lie because it's too late for her at this point)]
no subject
[Well he supposes he can kind of see what she means, but when she puts it like that... he has to point out:]
But I think for the people who can't say things like that so easily... it just makes them even more precious when they do.
[Like Shiho.]
no subject
She's blushing, mouth turned down in a pout.] You're doing it again, Minato-kun.
no subject
Oops. I'll have to keep that in mind.
[But there's a definite teasing lilt to his mouth and tone, so he's definitely not actually that sheepish over it.
Maybe he just thinks Shiho is really cute when she's flustered like this...!!]
no subject
Keep it in mind so you can do it more often? [But she can't manage to sound too stern. It's... nice to hear that she's precious to him.]
no subject
HMMM...
Minato hums contemplatively, more for show than anything, and then settles on:]
I'll keep the answer to that a mystery, I think. [Which just makes it obvious, really, that yes he'd like to tease her more.]
no subject
A mystery? When I'm a psychometer? [Never mind that it's obvious he intends to tease her with this.]
no subject
[Minato flashes her a smile in return.]
... Maybe I like that you know what I'm thinking without me having to say it.
[It's definitely something he thinks is pretty special to their relationship.]
no subject
...I think you're the second person who has ever told me that. [The first was, of course, a five-year-old Kaoru.
Her powers were always something useful, convenient, cool, terrifying. When people told her they didn't mind if she could read them... she couldn't help but love them at least a little bit.
No one has ever told her that they liked the fact that she could read their thoughts and just... knowing he thought it makes something warm and bright well up in her chest.]
no subject
[He wonders who the first was--if he had to take a stab, he'd guess Kaoru or Minamoto, but he's really not sure. It's not that important, though; Shiho will tell him if she wants to.
Either way...]
It's kind of like a thing just for us that way, isn't it? Like nobody would even know that we're always on the same page.
no subject
[Minamoto has never told her something like that. To him, her powers are a gift, something that made her wonderful. But he still has his secrets and while he doesn't mind which is already so much, she knows there are still things he didn't want her to know. But...]
When you put it like that... it sounds really nice. Like our own little secret. [She's never thought about her own powers like that. She's never thought... anyone else would think about her powers like that.]
no subject
That sounds like Kaoru-san. I'm somehow not even surprised.
[Still, even more importantly:]
Yeah, exactly. When I think about it like that... it's just even more exciting. It's something that's all our own.
no subject
She's been like that ever since she was a little kid. [And has somehow managed to stay that way... it's amazing.]
Well... then I guess I'll allow it. But not too often though because it's embarrassing. [...though really she already knows she'd let him speak to her through psychometry whenever he wanted. It makes him happy and it makes her happy so it all works out well, she thinks.]
no subject
[That amuses him, it's true. He knows that for Shiho, using that would be as easy as breathing, so the thought that she'd avoid speaking that way too often because it's embarrassing is...honestly really cute.]
I guess I'll just have to make those moments that we do talk that way really count then, huh?
no subject
You can't say something like that and not tell me what you're planning on doing, you know.
no subject
He just shakes his head, expression fond.]
Honestly? I don't know what I'm planning on doing. I just...really like the idea.
I like the idea that I can reach out and hold your hand and talk to you about anything. That if I want to be embarrassing only for you to hear, I can do that. Or we could share secret plans, too. Anything, really.
no subject
...You really...
[How does he say stuff like that without blushing??]
....You really do have it all planned out already, huh.
no subject
[He smiles a little, shaking his head.]
Those are just what popped into my head immediately. [IS THAT BETTER OR WORSE.]
no subject
(Or both.)]
no subject
[Without shame...!!!]
How could I ever miss an opportunity like this?
[It sounds like way too much fun to him.]
