And for all his wiriness, he's still got some pretty good muscles on him! He can show everybody how it's down in a flurry of flashy moves, twirling and spinning all elegantly... before finally wearing himself out and sliding down the pole to land face-first on the floor much to Hiyori's amusement, haha...
For what little bit it counts, he at least didn't dare to solicit kisses from people while sober. That should speak to some of his morales being in-line with hers, even if they start veering vastly off-base when he gets plastered. Though he's infinitely grateful to Hiyori for giving him another chance when she didn't have to. When he's still learning what love is and what it entails.
Oh, the physical part he's got. No problem there! Like, hell, he could even admit to liking the view when Bishamon was trying to take his head off. It's just the emotional and relationship parts he struggles desperately with. And maybe sleeping shirtless would lead them both to taking another step in their relationship, strengthening it even further. That's kind of his hope, anyway, whenever it happens. He won't push it aside from kissing Hiyori's forehead while she snores oh so gently.
Making her not mad is kind of the goal here, so the fact she's struggling to maintain her ire is a relief. He prefers happy!Hiyori to angry!Hiyori, and not just for his own sake. Watching her keenly leaves him feeling warm and flushed in the cheeks; he knows now what they're talking about, but how to proceed...?
He's relying on her to help guide him, yet all she does is leave him floundering helplessly again. Does... does that mean it's up to him? That he gets to choose how far they go? Shouldn't that be something she decides?? ...no, it means she trusts him to go at a pace they're both comfortable with. Swallowing hard, he nods, only the occasional blink breaking the spell they have over one another.
...fuck it. He's gonna do it. He's going to be bold and brazen and stupid.]
Sounds like a plan to me. ...m-maybe we should start with you on your back?
[After all he's done to upset her, he wants to make it clear how much he loves her. Even if it's frightening on some levels.]
the nerdiest of nerds sob;;
