Some people are into the really simple stuff.

[sliding it on to look at it on her hand, though]

[powerisyours]

I'm me, though; so if I do ever propose to you for real, I'll make sure it's at least a little but sparkly.

[ridestherider]

As long as there's a distinction.

Thank you, Jiu Wu.

[powerisyours]

[ leaning in and pressing a very chaste kiss to her forehead ]

You're welcome, Natsumi.

[ridestherider]

[you are getting a pretty tight hug in return, because burrowing is a thing]

[powerisyours]

[ tight hugs are good and he can give one in return and nuzzle her cheek affectionately ]

[ridestherider]

[if I hide efficiently enough I can pretend I'm not going to cry on you.]

[powerisyours]

[ I will even pretend not to notice any potential wet spots on my shirt and instead give head rubs ]

[ridestherider]

[This is why you are the best and I am an idiot.]

[powerisyours]

[ All I want is for Natsumi to be happy ]

[ridestherider]

[I am trying. :(]

[powerisyours]

[ Will also accept cuddles. ]

[ridestherider]

[I'm okay with cuddles. You're getting those.]

[powerisyours]

[ super gonna crawl on the couch next to you and just lean ]

[ridestherider]

[Time to curl up like bonded kittens, apparently.]

[powerisyours]

[ I'd lick your ears but as you have no fur I'll settle for nuzzling your hair ]

[ridestherider]

[... yeah that would be awkward, but I like nuzzles and maybe now I can calm down.]

[powerisyours]

[ I also promised some weeks ago not to put my mouth on your ears, so there's that.

Calm is good and he'll continue with the snuggles and the headpets ]

[ridestherider]

[Yes good, the headpets are super relaxing.]

I'm still sorry I made a mess of things.

[powerisyours]

You didn't make a mess. I promise. It's just a little--untidy.

[ridestherider]

That's still not good.

[powerisyours]

Untidy is easily fixed.

[ridestherider]

This kind of untidy?

[powerisyours]

Mm. We'll figure out a way to make it tidy again.

[ridestherider]

I hope so.
