week 05, wednesday, late evening, hinata's closet

[hopefragment]

[No dead bodies to be found here! Though there might be some hiding behind the coats or under the snacks, who knows? It's hard to tell since he makes no move to turn on a light in the closet. Clearly he must be hiding something! Considering the only light once he closes the door behind them is what little leaks under the door and around the frame.

But... now what? Can she hear his heart beating furiously in the darkness? Hopefully not... right? Super hearing wasn't listed on her profile, he thinks. He's pretty sure, anyway. It's hard to think about stuff like that right now.]

So, um...

[What little he'd had to drink certainly hadn't been enough to calm him down in this kind of situation. At least in the darkness, no one can see him blush.]

Did you, uh... did you want to play...?

I'll be looking forward to it.

[Seeing how much of a loser she can be, anyway. He laughs again and just nods, because yeah, what luck, indeed. This is a much better closet lock-in than his earlier one with Faize, anyway.

Why does she have to leave it up to him, though?? He knows what he'd rather do, but that sounds really desperate to just come out and say, right? Hm.]

Well... I mean, as hosts of the party, maybe we shouldn't break our own rules for these games, you know? And since, you know, it's a traditional Earth game, [poor Faize,] we shouldn't break the rules... It'd set a bad example.

[For this game that no one can see them playing, in the closet. He's laughing a little too still, because even he knows how ridiculous that sounds.]

[ What did you and the elf wizard get up to, did you make out with the elf, Hinata. ]

Oh, that's right! [ reaches out to slide her arms around his neck and move closer. not that they aren't probably smooshed together anyway because closet ] We'd be such despicable party hosts if we just wantonly flaunted our own Earth game rules, wouldn't we?

[ You could have just said "make out" but the ridiculous version of that works too. Time to just casually get up on her tip-toes to aim for his mouth with her mouth, which is harder than you'd think because it's dark ok. Forgive her if she misses. ]

But listen, he can't just come out and say that, it sounds way too desperate! Joking about it and having her initiate it seems much safer. When her arms go around his neck, he leans in, trying to meet her halfway. It's a bit of a false start in the dark when his lips brush against the corner of her lips, but it only takes him a second to readjust to catch her lips in a firm, insistent kiss.

He doesn't know what to do with his hands though?! He's never done anything like this before, and with her arms up around his neck, it's going to be hard to reach her cheek. Instead, after a beat, his hands fall to lightly grasp her waist, trying to tug her flush against him.]
