They're definitely right.

[He just reaches to take one of the apples he'd brought and toss it lightly from hand to hand, smiling and shaking his head.]

I'm glad you're back.

[ hajime opens her mouth to respond, but then the countess chooses that time to just... wander off. most likely to claim one of their beds. but now that the cat is away hajime gets up, not fully, but so that she is sort of just walking on her knees to close the distance between her and hinata and then just

goddamn tackle hugs him. ]

I'm back!

[Oh no Countess... come back, you're soft and fluffy and Hajime likes you?? Hinata turns to watch where the Countess is headed and thus misses Hajime getting up on her knees to close the distance between them. By the time he turns around, she's already mid-tackle, and he lets out a startled yelp of surprise.

The apple goes flying, and Hinata topples backward, smacking the back of his head against the floor as his arms wrap around her waist in a belated attempt to stop her fall.]

Ow...

[He's a graceful one.]

[ she's giggling at this point, but she does at least reach over to pat his head to check for any possible bumps after he hit it? he probably has a Nice View for a few seconds there as she does that, but once she is satisfied that he isn't like... bleeding from his skull or something she settles back down. still in his arms probably if he hasn't let go? ]

Whoops! Did that hurt, Number One?

Ah...

[Oh. Oh. That sure is. A View. He freezes, staring for just a second before quickly closing his eyes and willing his heated cheeks to cool. Calm down, Hinata! He's not actually injured, though his pride is incredibly bruised.]

N-no, I'm okay...

[But she's not moving, so he's not pulling his arms away from her just yet, just trying to relax there against the floor and not think about boobs at all.]

You just surprised me, that's all.

I would have done that earlier but I didn't want to scare the Countess away!

[ so instead she just scared hinata, which seems like a fair trade? the countess should live a calm, stress free life. ]

I'll warn you next time.

[ although whether she means hugging or like, disappearing for a few weeks is up in the air. ]

[He laughs, shaking his head and just shifting his arms into something closer to a hug and closing his eyes.]

Well we can't scare the Countess...

[Even if his back is against the floor, this is still way too comfortable. It's probably illegal? But he doesn't feel like telling her to move just yet, instead just exhaling a breath and keeping his eyes closed.

He really had been afraid she'd disappear. Be one of the many who'd just vanished into the ocean, never to return. Holding her like this just doesn't seem real.]

You'd better warn me next time, [he just grumbles good-naturedly, though, not wanting to return to the topic of her leaving again. And not really upset about the unexpected hug, either.]

You comfortable?

I'm fine. Shouldn't I be asking you that though?

[ since she is kind of on top of him and also, the floor?

she's not really making to move though. not unless he tells her to or implies that he is not comfortable. if that happens hajime will roll off. ]

After how long we spent on air mattresses, I think I can survive.

[His lips twist into another wry grin, but the peaceful moment isn't fated to last. With Hinata's hair on the floor, the Countess returns, batting at his ahoge.]

...What, seriously?!

[He tries to move his head to discourage that, but it only makes the Countess dart from side to side, continuing to go after his hair.]

Aaah, that's so cute!

[ sorry hinata but hajime needs to record this?? so she is now recording this, it's adorable and it needs to be posted on instaclam immediately. ]

Does she do this all the time?! I'm so jealous!

Yeah, she just likes that one bit... hey!

[He makes a grab for Hajime's communicator. Wtf!! Let him rest with his dignity somewhat intact!!

(That will never happen.)]

Don't record it!!

Edited 2016-10-01 22:24 (UTC)

Ah. I've already posted it.

[ a pause as she glances at the communicator. ]

It's already gotten seven likes.

Number Two....!!

[He lets out an exasperated groan, letting his head drop back down to the floor. And letting the Countess get right back to playing with her favorite toy. He's really not as annoyed as he's pretending to be.]

I'm going to record something embarrassing of yours and post it sometime...

[No he won't. Also is there even anything that would embarrass her???]

Good luck!

[ as in, she is perfectly aware that that's a difficult feat to accomplish. and also, he is a good boy so she kind of doubts he would. ]

It's very cute though. You'll like it too.

[He just groans again, more loudly this time.]

And here I was going to try to make you a nice notebook as a welcome home present, but maybe I'll just keep it for myself now.

[That will show her!!!]

[ hinata's first mistake is underestimating just how much she loves notebooks. she actually gasps?? ]

No!

[Ah-! Figured out what her best gifts are, now there's no way he'll fail a free time event!!!]

Yeah. I was going to make some cute fabric with the Fabricator to cover it in, find some nice paper for it...

[He sighs dramatically.]

I mean, I guess I could probably still make it for you...

[he doesn't... know how to make a notebook....]

Number One, I will love you for the rest of my life if you do.

[ she................ loves notebooks a lot.

a lot.

she is staring right into his eyes as she says this. ]

[Wow. He just kind of blinks up at her, because well. Okay. Now he needs to learn how to make a notebook for a myriad of reasons??]

O-okay, you've convinced me. I'll make you a notebook.

[Secured a date and also potentially has a declaration of undying love?? What a comeback.]

[ she loves stationery? a lot? it is the easiest way to win her heart. ]

I'm looking forward to it! Gatcha!

[ this is the best welcome back gift. ]

[Well now he can't let her down... crap. He really had to open his mouth, didn't he...?

She's been back for only a few hours at most, and he's already exhausted. But it's fun, more fun than he's had in a while. Also she's still on top of him, which is kind of a reward and kind of a punishment all on its own so?]

Just don't go away for weeks just to see what kinds of presents you'll get for it. This is a one-time offer, okay?

Boo!

[ she pouts, although it doesn't last very long and turns back into her usual smile. ]

I'll need to get you a gift too.

Don't give me that look...

[She really could get him to do just about anything with that pout. Or just by asking him nicely, lbr.

But he huffs with amusement, lifting his head from the floor to look at her more easily.]

And you don't have to give me anything. I didn't go anywhere to need a welcome-back gift.

Then consider it a welcoming me back gift!

[ that is a thing that she just made up right now. but they are on a different planet that does not have its own set customs, which means that it is completely within hajime's right to just make them up. ]

What do you like?

There's no such thing!

[He tries to groan again in exasperation, but it just turns into another laugh.]

Isn't that up to you to find out...? It's cheating if I just tell you.
