[Attempts to dip him, seeing if Sunshine will allow it or speed right out of there]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Hmmmm. Is that so?

His tactic changes abruptly as his hands slide up into her hair and he tries to redirect the kiss into something more tender]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'm sure X would. Have you heard him talk for five minutes?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Tucks a strand of hair back behind her ear]

No one else is going to get a kiss like that from me this game.

You can tell me when it's over whether or not that's more important than your win.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He laughs delightedly against her when she presses up against him.

The hand on her shoulder slides down her side until its resting against the small of her back. Is he helping with her balance? Maybe! But probably not for altruistic reasons]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I have no idea what you're talking about because I never do anything wrong.

[criminaljustice]

Say it louder, maybe you'll convince me.

X

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Continued from here]

[It's really the only charm point he has.

After they're done sliding down the wall a bit, Intensity will slip his knee in between X's. There. Now he has something to give him support. Isn't Intensity soooo generous?]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Fine.

I never blamed myself for your deficiencies.

[criminaljustice]

No, you're just the guy who put humpty dumpty back together again and then lashes out at him when he's a bit too forward for you.

[deicider]

You do have a point. I feel like you already know I don't hand my regard out lightly.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Pushes himself off the wall to take a step toward Joker]

Put a puzzle in front of me, I'm going to solve it. Not wallow alongside you in your torrent of emotions like everyone else.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Where's the value in respect if everybody earns it?

[Moves to card his hand casually through Cardigan's hair]

[criminaljustice]

You ever think I didn't want people to wallow with me but help me figure out how to get out of the mess I was in?

Like, seriously. I don't know how much more direct I could have been--I guess the heart game helped with being even more blatant but.

[shrugs a bit]

For a supposedly objective thinker, you really do have your own emotional biases, don't you?

[deicider]

[They're pleased with the gesture, lightly tipping their head into it.]

You know, I explained what a bash was to you, but I left out the more important parts— Your bash' is where you belong, where the people you spend the rest of your life with care for you and push you to thrive at whatever you want to do. When I remember it, it's the best of all possible feelings, and you make it real for me again.

[eatsthecanary]

He did. But it was still a hug.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He tilts his head obligingly as Intensity does that, assuming he's looking for some kind of revenge for last time, but -

The tug on the earring is new. And when it's not an isolated incident and he realizes what Intensity's intention is....

Well, that's hot. ]

Ah...

[crossmyheartandhope]

...no?

[malignstar]

[ Curious enough at where this is going to play along, also light nipping now ]

[liftoft]

[ sucks in a breath, shifting his thighs a little wider, trying... To not press into that. He has a little pride!

Having pride is a distraction from kissing though, and he ends up just sinking his teeth into Intensity's lower lip and holding for a moment.]

[purrrnicious]

[Breaks the kiss (I mean, they're well past the requirements anyway), breathless, but otherwise holding her position, narrowing her eyes at him. She doesn't say anything yet, but this fight ain't over.]

. . .

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Laughs]

Well I'll raise you one better because I'm looking to win.

1/2

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[. . .

Cardigan. Cardigan, he wanted five points.

Not a confession]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Looks away. A little awkwardly. Though the hand doesn't leave their hair]

There's also no point in respecting someone who doesn't challenge you to be the best version of yourself.

[deicider]

No. That's what respect is for.

[And now Cardigan lightly directs him back with two fingers along the line of his jaw, and kisses him, confident and unreserved. ]
