[ Ragna, on the other hand, felt like he was practically holding his breath the entire time he waits for Weiss to answer him. And the longer he's kept waiting, the more anxious and twisted his heart feels. Inwardly, he could have started kicking himself for trying to sound cool or being too upfront. That this is why he doesn't "deal with this sorta crap". But she doesn't fluster or "affectionately" call him an idiot either. To the point that she harkens back to something that still feels like yesterday in his mind. All those times that she taunted and teased him over having a crush on her from the moment he laid eyes on her.
...regardless of the truth? Given how everything happened between them, Ragna may as well have when she winks at him and shifts the cuff of his pant leg up to get a direct feel. ]
Something something about "putting words in my mouth"... I woulda said something like that before, right?
[ Just as the taller man's foot makes a move to let hers ride just a little further up against his skin beneath his pants, she breaks. She laughs. And he just can't help himself anymore. Not when his shoulders shake and he chuckles behind sealed lips with a growing smile. His leg does eventually settle down for now, drawing back from their little under-the-covers tussle their footsies were having. ]
You know I can suck it up and do it anyway, right?
[ Now was he joking?! ...Partially. Because it certainly wasn't something he would do for just about anybody. Yet the urge was there. That protective instinct that he didn't even acknowledge for a very long time. Weiss' heart wasn't the only one hammering wildly and rapidly. But he he does well in quelling his breathing with gentle, deep breathes. Especially as they find themselves approaching a topic most sensitive in a place like this. He learned real quick about what the word "polygamy" was...and even still, something about it didn't sit right with him. Yet their circumstances weren't exactly normal, were they?
His expression is still as calm as before, a smile having yet to leave his lips when she speaks so honestly. How the hell can he not answer in kind? ]
Yeah. Something tells me it's because of what's going on around us that we don't let on as much.
[ But he wouldn't tell her to stop seeing her other playing partners. Just as he would expect that she wouldn't do the same thing for him. Was there a slight pang when he thought about her "having fun" with someone else? Absolutely. And yet between adjusting to have a more comfortable way of living in this haunted resort, until the time came they could get out, Ragna...was doing much of the same.
But in this isolated space, with the time they've got before their waiter can come back to serve their drinks and appetizers, he's going to use this for something deeper and more important. Something for just the two of them. ]
I guess since we're being honest, if I had it my way? And we didn't have these ranks or suits or games?
This is all I'd want.
[ Dates like this. Relaxing days in the kitchen improving on his hobby. Movie nights in. Walking and talking. Yes, even all the sex they have. He'd take it all if he was going to spend all this time here. At the core of all of that...all he'd want is to spend time with her. While they still can. ]
