Austin + Yuki, Sep 22

Sep 22 01:12:18 <LipstickThespian>	"How was class today, Austin-senpai?" Yuki asked from across the kotatsu.  The peak of Japanese design, a comfortable low table with a warm heated comforter.  She'd made them both tea, she didn't think he cared what blend she chose but she always chose a nice flowery one for him.  It was late in the evening, she'd had club activities and had only invited him over once she was through most of her homework. Because he had a problem where he made homework almost impossible to concentrate on.  But now, with only easy homework left, it was nice to spend time with him.
Sep 22 01:16:20 <Knave>	Austin was a little sad that Yuki had caught on to his game with distracting her from her homework, but then, that was part of the game. It just meant she was winning. He sipped his tea with a smile, reflexively commenting "Good tea." to himself. He leaned his elbow on the kotatsu and his chin in his hand, smiling gently at her, "Not bad. I found out today that the person at the front of the room actually teaches you things in those classes, they're not just for sleeping in." He flashes a grin, "And how has my sweetheart's day been?"
Sep 22 01:19:05 <LipstickThespian>	What a tryhard gamer, Yuki. Always trying to win even in flirting with your boyfriend.  "Really?" She answered with a small laugh, trying to keep as straight of a face as Austin did. Which she had never really managed to do with him, he threw jokes in too quickly for her to stay composed.  "Well, ah," she pauses a bit on the word sweetheart and blushes.  "It was nice. I took a quiz in one of my classes, and Tennis practice went well.  And I'm about to be done with my homework."  She tapped her pencil against the work in front of her, "so I've have a very good day."
Sep 22 01:21:51 <Knave>	"Pleased to hear it." He beams moonily across the kotatsu. Then he perks up, straightening his back and laying one hand on the table, idly drawing circles on the surface with his index finger. "You know, it's impressive how dedicated you are to... everything. You're such a hard worker. It's inspiring, really." His smile pulls up his left cheek, "Impressive."
Sep 22 01:24:05 <LipstickThespian>	Yuki worked through the last half of her notebook page, before flipping to the next one to start.  "You shouldn't tease, Austin-senpai." She says with a frown, "it's not very nice.  And you're very dedicated too, just in your own way.  Dedicated to goofing off and causing trouble, and taking too many naps."
Sep 22 01:25:54 <Knave>	"I'm not teasing!" He insists, leaning forward, sounding hurt but still smiling, "I mean it. It's great how hard you work." He points at his face and circles it with the finger, "I know I never look serious but that's just how my face is." He leans back again and takes a sip of his tea, "Anyway, I don't try to cause trouble."
Sep 22 01:27:44 <LipstickThespian>	"I think your face is cute, even if it's never serious." Yuki says with a kind smile, trying to make up for being so defensive.  "I bought a few chocolates the other day as well, if you'd like to share them with me? We could celebrate my conquering of this homework!"
Sep 22 01:29:57 <Knave>	Austin raises his cup with a smile. "I'll drink to that. Eat chocolate to that." Austin's mouth wrinkles as he thinks about what he just said. "Yes, I would like to share chocolate with you. That sounds great." He shrugs at himself.
Sep 22 01:33:36 <LipstickThespian>	Yuki's face always turns a bit as she gives some thought to what he said, then she claps her hands and stands up.  "I bought a few different kinds, they each have different fillings."  Walking over to her dresser, she reaches up to grab a small box from the local candy store.  "Would you like strawberry, peach, blueberry, cherr-" as she's pulling it off the dresser it knocks the simple white box next to it. Enough to send that box off the edge and toppling down to the floor.  Hitting the ground, it's lip popped off and it landed upside down next to Austin.
Sep 22 01:40:38 <Knave>	Austin's lazy smile flits from Yuki to the box on the ground, and he reaches over to it, sliding out from under the kotatsu to be able to pass it up to her. "Here, let me grab-" He says, as he turns the upturned box onto its side to right it without too much of its contents spilling out. Then he sees the contents. "Oh."
Sep 22 01:43:52 <LipstickThespian>	Yuki stands there frozen, hands wrapped around a box of sweets.  Then he moves to grab it and she starts to make a sound that might be words but just comes out as a whimper.  She looks down, the lid askew, and the contents visible.  The collar, the leash, and the rest of it underneath.  Her mouth hangs open as words fail her, and she stands staring at him.
Sep 22 01:46:36 <Knave>	After the initial moment of surprise - and it must have felt at least a little good to see his mouth in that dumb O of surprise - Austin falls into a good-natured smile and stands up. "You, uh, you probably don't want my help putting those away, right?" He rubs the back of his neck, smiling at her nervous and a little lopsided, then offers his hand, palm up, "How about I put the sweets on the table for you?"
Sep 22 01:50:06 <LipstickThespian>	It was enough of a moment for Yuki's face to go pale, and her hands to start shaking a little bit.  "Y-ya," she manages to squeak out before she hands him the box of candy. More dropping it into his hands than handing it over. Then she dropped down, and as quickly as she could with unstable hands put the items back into the box. A bit of jingling and the sound of metal hitting metal.
Sep 22 01:50:07 <LipstickThespian>	Then she pushed it over and under her bed, barely covered by the comforter hanging down the edge.
Sep 22 01:54:02 <Knave>	"You don't have to be embarrassed or anything." Austin says casually, as he sits back down and puts the chocolates down in the middle of the table, "There's nothing wrong with... y'know... any of that. Stuff." He smiles up at her softly, his eyes big and gentle.
Sep 22 01:56:02 <LipstickThespian>	Yuki crawled over after the box was put away, as much as she really was willing to at least, and sat back under the kotatsu.  "U-uhm, it's ah, nothing weird.  I just was thinking about getting a u-uh dog."  She swallowed, hard, and grabbed her mug of tea to pull up and cover her face.
Sep 22 01:57:37 <Knave>	Austin looks mildly irritated. "Yuki..." He says chidingly, raising his eyebrows. He picks up his own tea and takes a long sip to see if Yuki wants to correct that last statement.
Sep 22 02:01:48 <LipstickThespian>	Yuki sets the mug down, and straightens her shoulders.  If Austin was going to press her on the issue, then she was going to face it as close to having some amount of pride as she could.  "It's for Cosplay."  Nope, cover it up, play it off, she's too weak for this.  Her face red with embarassment, even if Austin didn't know her intimately he'd know she was lying.
Sep 22 02:04:29 <Knave>	He opens his mouth to chide her again, then sets his cup down. He slides out from under the kotatsu and around to her, which frankly can't help but look comical at the speed he achieves. He wraps his arms around her shoulders from behind and rests his head against hers, "Yuki, really. I mean it. It's fine. You don't have to feel weird or embarrassed. It's me. You can talk."
Sep 22 02:12:01 <LipstickThespian>	Stupid frictionless boyfriends and their quick movements, it's like an Anime how quickly he's behind her. Or something.  She slumps forward when he wraps his arms around her, and bows her head forward.  "I am talking, and it is weird." She shifts a bit and tries to tug away from him but doesn't really have anywhere to go forward, so she just sits there.  "It's weird," she repeats.
Sep 22 02:14:22 <Knave>	"What's weird about it?" He says gently, trying to keep his grip on her as soft as possible. "Explain to me what's weird about it, because if it's making you uncomfortable, I wanna understand why, so I don't make you uncomfortable in the future." He gently nuzzles the side of her head in a manner he hopes is encouraging.
Sep 22 02:19:41 <LipstickThespian>	"It's something they do in doujinshi," Yuki mumbles, "people don't really do those things."  She slumps back against him at the gentle nuzzle, reaching a hand up to touch the arms wrapped around her.  "It's not something a normal girl does in her room alone."
Sep 22 02:26:30 <Knave>	"What makes you think that?" Austin says softly, with his usual good humour behind it. "I'm not exactly an expert, but real people /do/ do that stuff. I promise. How else would the people who make that stuff make a living?" He kisses her earlobe and snuggle into her. "And there's definitely nothing wrong or strange about doing it alone. Scou- No, journalist's honour."
Sep 22 02:29:39 <LipstickThespian>	Yuki smiles, despite herself. Austin is really terrible at always making a joke at the wrong time but managing to make her smile.  The kiss on her earlobe makes a sharp noise slip out of her.  "Thank you," she says with the same somber tone.  There's a few seconds before she speaks back up, "d-do you think it's weird?"
Sep 22 02:32:58 <Knave>	"Of course I don't." His head rests against hers again, cheek to cheek. "Especially not here. No. It's perfectly natural and innocent, and hell with anyone that says otherwise." He kisses her cheek quickly, "I think it's kinda cute, in fact."
Sep 22 02:39:43 <LipstickThespian>	Yuki takes one of the hands wrapped around her with her own hands, grabbing it to hold it.  She feels a little better at the reassurance, especially when he puts it in the perspective of this happening at this school.   Turning, she gives him a kiss on the cheek in turn to thank him for being kind.  Then she pauses, "you think it's cute?"
Sep 22 02:41:19 <Knave>	"Yeah." He says, and then shrugs. He inclines his head towards her, "Why? Is /that/ weird?" He smiles, almost teasing but too gentle.
Sep 22 02:42:24 <LipstickThespian>	"N-no!" Yuki says a little too quickly, then lays back completely against him.  Using him like a comfortable pillow, "I think it's kinda cute, too."
Sep 22 02:46:26 <Knave>	"Good, then." Austin says into her ear with a broad smile. The hand holding hers squeezes, then his free hand moves up to her hair, brushing it over her shoulder while two fingers trace a line around her neck. "I definitely think you'd look very cute in the collar." He purrs.
Sep 22 02:48:15 <LipstickThespian>	Yuki whines, a highpitched but quiet whine as the fingers trace.  She pushes her back against him and arches it slightly at the touch.  "A-ah," she starts to saw before it turns into a very soft moan.  A hand going up to cover her mouth in embarassment.
Sep 22 02:52:04 <Knave>	Once again, Austin's face shifts into momentary surprise. He thought he was just teasing her- he didn't expect that kind of reaction. After a pause, his lopsided grin returns and he gently pushes the hand down and away from her mouth. "No need to be embarrassed." He says again, this time less softly and more his usual, teasing tone. Despite that, he exudes honesty when he adds, "That was- that was definitely a good sound."
Sep 22 03:00:53 <LipstickThespian>	Yuki is a very sensitive girl, she is used to her boys being 2D, and also moe girls.  So have a 3D boy, an actual one in real life, holding onto her is a bit of a sensory overlord.  Or maybe finishing her homework just put her in a mood.  She doesn't resist the hand getting pushed away, and let it slip down into her lap.  "Was it?" She asks him, before she lets out a similair sound, then tries to sit up and get away from the holding.  "This is embarassing," she admits to herself more than him.
Sep 22 03:06:00 <Knave>	Behind her, Austin smiles at the sound, briefly biting his lip. As she moves away, he lets his grip loosen and his hands rest gently on her arms without holding her. He leans forward slightly and says, "We can stop if you want." before placing another kiss on the tip of her ear, "I'll go back to my side of the table."
Sep 22 03:08:46 <LipstickThespian>	"I don't know," Yuki said in a whining voice.  Reaching to hold on of the hands resting on her arm.  She backed herself up against him as she tried to put her thoughts into words.  "I like it, but it's embarassing. I've only ever done stuff like that in my games. Or read about it in my doujinshi."
Sep 22 03:14:23 <Knave>	"You don't have to feel embarrassed about stuff just because it's your first time doing it for real." He whispers. He leans his head forward to kiss Yuki's cheek, "Even if it feels unreal or weird, just enjoy it, okay?" He kisses her again and squeezes, "Think you can do that for me?"
Sep 22 03:16:40 <LipstickThespian>	"I-it's not my first time," Yuki blurts out as she's kissed on the cheek.  "I mean, with another person for real, I guess.  Like, not on camera or anything."  She shakes her head and then takes a deep breath. "O-okay. I can do that.  If you want to, I mean, do things, together, with that stuff."
Sep 22 03:19:23 <Knave>	"Okay." He says with a nod and a smile, wrapping his arms around her cozily. "Whenever you feel ready for it, just tell me. I live to serve." Then, because he's Austin and pushing his luck is what he does, he gently nibbles at her earlobe.
