[Chiding her gently and, really, without any intent to make her stop, Kisuke turned his wrist just so slightly so he could meaningfully run his thumb over the inside of her palm while they were on their stroll.]

[So, while she had her moment to think about the sweeter forms of declaring that transition between them, he was more than eager to distract with teasing that could stay well-hidden enough.]
[ Subtly... She was plenty subtle usually! But maybe the sheer euphoria of the moment was getting to her. Could you get drunk on love? It certainly felt like it. She smiled brightly as he spoke, closing her hand more tightly as she felt his thumb running against her palm. ]
Mhm, that's true.
[ She struggled real hard not to lean against him. Honestly... The entire time he'd spoken of himself as if he would be a bad influence on her. But it really felt like she was the one being a bad influence here! ]
You know, you made it sound like you'd be an unrestrained monster or whatnot... [She leaned to the side a bit.] But looks like I'm the one who needs to show restrain here, ahaha!
[He could hardly chide her over her attempts. Despite her desperate situation, Monika had never once tried to corner him in a way he wouldn't be able to come back from--finding it exceedingly charming that she would be so considerate with him.
Despite all rationale, he found it endearing when she seemed to hold back and wonder if she was pressing too much. If only she'd ignore that instinct once in a while?
