[D7, EE] It would sure suck if I got kidnapped after this

[Kaiu Nagisa]

"Be careful of what you wish, Nagisa-chan, I might abuse this power." She teased in return.

Now that causes a brow to rise questioningly. “Oh? How would you abuse this power, might I ask?”

Curiosity might get the better of the Kaiu.

"I might call you Hwoney Woobie Cwutie Pwie in public."

[Kaiu Nagisa]

"I might call you Hwoney Woobie Cwutie Pwie in public."

“Honestly…” The Kaiu tilts her head to the side, a slight smirk forming. “I think I’d be more impressed than embarrassed if you were able to say that with a straight face.”

[Kitsuki Ichitaiyo]

“Honestly…” The Kaiu tilts her head to the side, a slight smirk forming. “I think I’d be more impressed than embarrassed if you were able to say that with a straight face.”

Ichitaiyo strolled forth closer, pulling in her half head of height over the mechanic to stare down. "Then, how about Pet."

“You can call me whatever you want.” She stands firm, despite redness spreading up her face. “A deal is a deal.”

A hand set itself on Nagisa's chin and left her gently.

"And how about mine?"

[Kaiu Nagisa]

A hand set itself on Nagisa's chin and left her gently.

"And how about mine?"

“Of course. If you’d let me call you the same.” Nagisa had officially turned off that nagging part of her brain that overthought everything and injected doubt into her actions. It felt amazing.

Ichitaiyo noticed that Nagisa had officially turned off that nagging part of her brain that overthought everything and injected doubt into her actions. It was scary, as her every raise was called and turned around.

Was she infatuated? Drawn to her knees? She questioned herself as she finally realized the little race of her heart and heat on her cheeks, the little beads of sweat on her forehead and the tensing of her jaw.

There was an gulp down her dry throat, thee moment of tension before her instict called out her move.

"After the race!" Ichitaiyo blurted, finally calling uncle, concealing her embarrased face by a stare to the side. "I- I-let's.. slower. Please."

OOC: inb4 something on the lines of 'You better not be slow tomorrow too then'.

[Kaiu Nagisa]

Cute flustered dragon noises

Oh. Was that how she would look when flustered? Nagisa now sees the appeal in the teasing. She pulls away, a slight chuckle escaping as she moves. “Of course. We can take our time and slow down. We can see what happens after the race.”

She leaned back again, watching the Kitsuki carefully. “Oh, you’re really cute when you’re flustered. It’s just us here, yeah? You don’t have to hide away from me.”

"I'm not hiding I'm just.-" She she tried to object, much like a cornered cat caught licking the human dishes.

"I'm not used to.. compliments. Ones that aren't about my professionalism. Nor things that aren't just for the night."

“Oh, I can relate to that, mostly.” Nagisa moves over towards the garage door, lowering herself to sit with her back against it. “I do mean what I said.”

Ichitaiyo followed, not going down to her yet, hands on her hips, her hand holding a sobriety.

"There is something to a dashing, sharp dressed and witty me. But seems you saw something more, to ask me to.. come after and later."

The Kaiu looks up at Ichitaiyo with a brow raised curiously. “I mean, getting to know someone involves letting them peel back the layers a bit, you get me? What you project to the world is appealing, yes, but there’s something far more intimate to see this side to you?”

A sigh escapes from Nagisa’s lips as she looks up at the ceiling. “Honestly, it feels nice to not be in my own head for once. It’s probably just as nice for you to not be in your shell.”

"I.. it's bit of the opposite. I am.. more scared of being weak or vulnerable. I can tell people of my problems, as long I am 'in business' about it. Gathering allies or solutions to them. It is different to admit.. fear, or that the voice that hates me still echoes."

“Mmmm… Come sit with me.” Nagisa pats the spot on the garage floor next to her, looking to Ichitaiyo expectantly. “These kinds of feelings are normal. And… If it makes it easier for you, I can be weak and vulnerable with you.”

Ichitaiyo crossed her arms.. and held herself in doubt, casting her gaze asides for some moments before surrendering to the mechanic's incredible persuasiveness, and sliding down the wall next to her.

She let a long sigh. "Were not because of how 'useful' I am, my Lord would have already dispensed of me. And.. take years of it and.. it sort of feel like truth sometimes. That.. if it is not useful, it is unloveable. What lies behind the mask is unloveable."

Letting Ichitaiyo open up to her, Nagisa listens. She nods along before pulling up her knees to her chest and resting her chin atop them. “I don’t think that this… You, right now, is unlovable. But I understand how the actions and words of someone can be so… Painful.”

"It gets to you, getting it beaten into you, literally and figuratively." Ichitaiyo nodded, looking forwards. "So.. it feels scary. Actual love, regardless romantic or friendship."

"It's simple.. and when you.. said so confidently I'd stay and race next year.. that's not a game. It got me."

"It's simple.. and when you.. said so confidently I'd stay and race next year.. that's not a game. It got me."

“I meant what I said.” Nagisa clarifies, glancing at the Kitsuki. “I believe you will be here next year. And I want you to be.”

[Kitsuki Ichitaiyo]

“I meant what I said.” Nagisa clarifies, glancing at the Kitsuki. “I believe you will be here next year. And I want you to be.”

Ichitaiyo shot a hand to her heart and (in an obvious but not ridiculing) played as if she had just had a knife jabbed in there. "Twist it again, will you?"

She let go the overacted wince of pain to let a chuckle out, and the barrier of wit go down, sighing her act out.

"No.. my point is that I believe you. And that is scary. To think I can.. well, be me and harm you, or to fail your expectatives."
