Somehow, when you call it 'bliss', it's a little hard to believe you. I'll just have to try it and see for myself.
[ It's a little strange to have his hands so gentle touching all the places he was so determined to bruise just a few hours before... the skin's still achingly tender even with him being as careful as he is, but she certainly doesn't want him to stop. It's rare that he ever touches her like this without things... escalating, after all. ]
You'd be in big trouble if it turned out I really liked it, though. Who'd clean up after your mess all the time if it wasn't for me?
[ His hands are all over her thighs and chest, but not for the sake of turning either of them on... definitely rare. ]
Well, I certainly won't, so I suppose we'll just fall into slovenliness together.
[ His hands gently cup her chest... he'd really been mean to them, hadn't he? Pulling them, biting them, pinching them, squeezing them... granted it got her screaming in a good way, so it's not like he feels bad enough to not do it again, but for now... this can be one of the few times he's gentle with them.
...they're also just, really nice to hold, turns out. ]
[ Does he think she just... forgot what he was doing with his hands not even two hours ago?? There's a reason she's so bruised and tender and he's right here in the bath with his hands all over her again.
... But he really is being gentle this time. So it's probably fine to answer honestly. ]
Girls are delicate all over, you know. Not that you'd think it with the way you treat me. But those are extra delicate.
[ She's never been one of those girls who's particularly sensitive there, but... well, it obviously works well enough for the sort of thing Oberon likes doing with them. ]
Well, what can I say? Don't you find it satisfying when you damage something delicate?
[ You'd think around this point he'd do some teasing and give her a harsh squeeze or something, but... no. He holds them gently a little more before moving down to caress the rest of her as well. ]
Well... I can treat them gently for now. Maybe.
[ Liar, he's already been doing that. It's like he's trying to soothe her poor, battered body, even now. ]
[ A breath flutters out of her, halfway between a sigh and a laugh. ]
Nope. Not me. I'm a good girl. If I break something delicate, I apologise and charge the repairs to Strawberry Productions.
[ Despite the joke, her voice is unfurling into something warm and loose and floaty. She'd been lulled partway into a doze when he'd been washing her hair and now they're actually in the bath, the combination of the warm water and his hands carefully stroking over her skin has her all but melting against him.
It really is a dangerous combination. Her eyes keep fluttering, but she won't let herself fully drift off quite yet. She's enjoying the moment too much for it to end quite yet. ]
Is that why you have so much fun messing me up like this? Damaging something delicate?
[ He smiles a smile that she can't see as she begins to drift off. Seriously, falling asleep in the bath... does she expect him to wake her up when they need to get out? Or is getting her into bed and all the subsequent steps that lead to that up to him now?
Ah well, he did decide to pamper her tonight, didn't he? She can doze in the warm water for as long as she wants. ]
I'm the only one willing to dirty you, aren't I? What do you think?
You have some nerve asking that knowing I'm a liar.
[ God, she's such a handful... and so mean. He'd say she's wrong in a heartbeat if he could, you know. He sighs and tilts his head back, thinking for a moment. ]
Hah... of course you're not special. But you are mine, and I'm never letting go.
I'm just checking in, that's all. You were a little more honest than usual today, so...
[ Don't think she's forgotten the "my woman" stuff and the trailing around after her even before he snapped. In fact, she's holding onto those for later use.
Not that she's actually planning anything, with the state she'd in. But it's good to know she has options for the future. ]
It was kind of cute watching you get all jealous, though. [ what happened to not provoking him.......... ] I knew for sure you were the type but getting to actually see it was something else.
...You'd think that with your body being in the state it is, you'd be less inclined to try and get a rise out of me.
[ God, is it possible to get a second wind out of pure pettiness? If he did, though, he might actually get banished to the roof. Still, he can't just not retaliate.
As such, Ai has earned herself a light nibble on the ear. She can't say she wasn't expecting something to happen, was she? ]
[ You'd think she'd have learned her lesson by now... but no, she's laughing. ]
Who says that's what I was trying to do? [ aside from basic, observable reality, presumably ] I just thought it'd be nice if I could be a little more honest with you right now, too. Since you can't do it.
[ Most annoyingly of all, this does not seem to be entirely a lie. ]
It was just... a nice change, I guess. [ her voice goes dry and just a little bitter. ] Usually when people get jealous, they take it out on me.
[ Still, he smiles... she really is beautiful when she's being even just a little honest like this. Even the hint of coyness only serves to heighten that beauty. ]
Well, that's humanity for you...
[ There's a hint of bitterness in his voice as well, but... ]
Ah, though of course now, they'd have to go through me, won't they?
Mhmm. They didn't even try today. It was kind of funny.
[ So she was Very Aware of all the attention they were getting as a couple, then. With how blithe and unbothered she'd been about it, you could fully believe she hadn't noticed a thing. ]
Does that mean you're gonna have to follow me everywhere to keep an eye on me from now on? You really are turning into my bodyguard.
[ though let's be real that's basically what he's been doing this whole time as it is ]
Heehee. Now that's definitely gossip worthy. The tabloids would go crazy over an idol being with her bodyguard.
[ He's a Servant, he's practically been her bodyguard since day one... ]
Hah, it would, wouldn't it? Perhaps keep that in mind... you know, in case you decide to be the most scandalous idol instead of the most perfect.
[ As far as scandals go, it's about as picturesque as they can get, after all. As if to further play at the idea of a scandal, his hands reach her chest again, lightly cupping her breasts in either hand. An idol dating her bodyguard and having kids at 16... what a combination. ]
I don't think I'd have a choice if it was up to you. You'd be staking your claim every chance you got, no matter how much trouble it caused. [ Then she giggles to herself again. ] Ah, then again... That's what you do all the time as it is. So I guess nothing would change.
[ apart from the twins trying to blow him up with their minds but ]
You definitely wouldn't be able to get away with making me this much of a mess either way. So you'd better enjoy it while you can.
[ She settles back against him with a satisfied sigh. ]
... or get used to treating me a little more gently. If you can manage it.
Hm... I'm not sure if that'll fly. I suppose we'll just have to mark you where no one can see it...
[ Said as if she doesn't have photoshoots and the like to deal with... photoshoots with a variety of different outfits. Her life as an idol will be getting much, much harder... ]
But you're right, I'll be taking full advantage while I can~
[ So he's definitely not going to be any gentler, aside from moments like these. ]
[ Well, if she's having fun, then it's only fair that he has fun too, right? ]
The victim? Would a victim really say...
[ Then, in a terrible impression of Ai's voice at the time... ]
Please don't stop, it hurts but I love it, I love it so please don't stop!
[ He would make it exaggerated, but... honestly compared to how she was actually saying it, the way he says it is tame in comparison to the desperation in her voice when she thought he might actually stop.
...that doesn't make him deserve to be smacked any less, admittedly. ]
[ Belly to belly is... more awkward of a position, honestly, but he's not ready for it. The way his face is flushed... is definitely because of the water, yeah. ]
I... I suppose so...
[ No getting out of it, no taking it back... it's already been decided.
[ Ai takes in the look on his face for just a few seconds too long and with a look in her eyes that's just a little too bright, too intense.
This is too much. Saying it to tease him, to rile him up with neither of them are really thinking straight but looking each other in the eye totally clearheaded and choosing to say it anyway...
It really is too much. It really is too soon.
They're much too far gone to be saved.
Her mouth twitches into a tender, uncertain smile for just a second. And then with a big performative sigh; ]
Aah, I guess I really am stuck, then... if there's no getting out of it, there's no getting out of it.
[ Her arms settle around his neck. ]
You'd better start acting like a proper husband, then. If we really are stuck.
[ It's much too fast... but neither of them know how to slow down any longer. Even if it results in an awful crash, how could he ever let her go now? ]
...What, I haven't been already?
[ She's so close... she was already close, but having her look at him in the eyes like this is... it's a lot. Too much, even... but he already decided to be gentle with her here, so he just has to force it back down... ]

I guess anybody delicate enough would do, then... so long as they wanted you to do it. Maybe it didn't have to be me... Or maybe I'm not that special.
[ She shoots him a sly, challenging little smile over her shoulder. ]
Or am I wrong?
[ she's really gonna make him use his words for this, huh... ]

[ they're already divorced?! ]
no subject
HAH!! Too late, no take-backsies.
[ What are they, children!? ]
no subject
[ "Yet", she says. "Yet."
With another huff, she turns around in his arms so she can squish his face in her hands.
... Don't think too hard about the fact that this means they're basically belly to belly right now. ]
... So I really am stuck as your wife, then? No getting out of it?
[ She's got a sulky face on as she says it, but...
Well, you don't need fae eyes to read the subtext of a question like that. ]
no subject
[ Belly to belly is... more awkward of a position, honestly, but he's not ready for it. The way his face is flushed... is definitely because of the water, yeah. ]

[ She tips her face up so she can kiss him - but rather than his mouth, she presses a kiss to his forehead instead. ]
But I like how things are right now. I like you the way we are right now. Even if you're the worst.
[ Then back down to his mouth - a kiss and her words murmured right against his lips. ]
So I think it's okay if we stay like this for at least a little longer.
