FTEC – Saturday [December 13]

[intraspective]

Ino had a million and one things she could be working on while at the clinic. She was, for the most part though, just staring at the entrance with deliberate thoughtfulness. And trying not to sigh. She didn’t need loads more things to have to consider and fret about right now.

If anyone asked, she was practicing her mental walls.

"I don't think you could stop him," she said, leaning over to tug at his hair. "He's rather forceful."

"You mean he's a pain in the ass," Ichigo corrected, tilting his head into the touch as he watched her. "So am I safe to kiss now?"

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[intraspective]

She smiled.

And leaned over and kissed him. Answer enough, really.

It was and Ichigo was very eager to have some distraction from the topic of conversation. He shifted forward in his chair so he could return the kiss, his hand coming up to touch her cheek.

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[intraspective]

This was, in a way, still on topic!

Really!

"Sorry for being weird," she murmured, before kissing him again.

He let her distract him for a moment before he pulled back a little. "This isn't just about following my pace, Ino."

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[intraspective]

Ino eyed him. With lots of dubiousness.

"...yeah?"

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"Is that a question or agreement?" he eyed her back.

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[intraspective]

She flushed a bit, sitting up straight and fiddling with her hair. "...question."

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"This isn't just about me," he said stubbornly.

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[intraspective]

"I don't think I ever said it was?" Ino asked, honestly confused now.

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

He shrugged. "Sounded like it."

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[intraspective]

"I'm confused," she said plaintively.

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"Just the way you said that it's up to me," he shrugged again and his pancake was definitely cold now.

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[intraspective]

"...it is, though." More confused. "We're going at your pace more than mine."

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but... You shouldn't be the only one who has to compromise," he frowned at her.

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[intraspective]

Sadly, that was generally how Ino worked it.

She blinked at him. "I don't mean to be?"

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"Good, then don't," he said easily.

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[intraspective]

"I'll try not to be, I guess?"

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"Don't guess. Just do it," he reached out to tug her hair good naturedly.

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[intraspective]

"I don't even realize when I'm doing it," she said, wrinkling her nose at him. "So I'll try."

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

He eyed her. "I guess that's a start."

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[intraspective]

"Better than nothing," she huffed, and poked at her pancakes.

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

He sighed. "Mine are cold," he complained.

Re: Day Shift - Front Desk

[intraspective]

"Mine too," she admitted, flushing a bit because it was her fault. "Should we try mircowaving them?"
