[ S-Shut up! You're the one who has to watch anyway...! Basically, you're not helping, Komaeda. He can feel his heart hammering in his chest nervously, licking his lips before he takes a breath in... then out. ]

Um... if I mess up, just tell me, Nanami.

[ He admits that meekly before leaning in for the kiss. Here goes nothing...! ]

[i_think]

Okay... !

[ Not that she would really know how one can mess up kissing. Maybe if you had bad aim? Or if you kissed someone after eating a lot of onions or something...

Right, kissing. It was happening.

Hinata's lips are pressed against her own before she knows it. She doesn't do much in response except press back with her lips, just enough so that their lips sort of mold together and fit well. A small smile tugs at the edge of Nanami's lips, and she squeezes Hinata's hand gently.

This is really nice..., she thinks, loudly enough to be heard. ]

[hopedout]

[ Hinata gives a gentle reassuring squeeze in response, smiling back at her as he parts his lips to deepen the kiss. He just can't get enough of her, and honestly, he wants to kiss her as much as he can so that he can remember it, make sure that it's real.

When he has to catch himself, he parts his lips from hers, but really, he's not seeking to end this just yet, as he affectionately peppers some kisses along the side of her neck, before saying in embarrassment mentally to her, S-Sorry, I got a little greedy there. I really wanted to kiss you in other places...

At least, before he stops and just breathes out heavily, pressing his forehead against hers. ]

I... really love you, Nanami. I'll repeat it as many times as you want.

[i_think]

It's okay...! [ She likes hearing him in her mind. It makes her smile, even as she deepens the kiss with him.

She gives a little sigh as his lips move elsewhere, eyes half-lidded. Before she knows it she's rubbing foreheads with him, the emotion almost too overwhelming. The room is filled with light, and not all of it is coming from the windows or the fixtures. It's just hanging in the air, isolating the three from their surroundings.

She may not know much about love, but if this affection, this closeness, this more-of-anything-she's-ever-felt-before-in-her-life is love? She's feeling a whole lot of it and wants to feel more.


Quietly: a secret only he and Komaeda can here. ]

I love you too, Hinata.

[ And this time, she's the one leaning in for the kiss. Because she's here to stay. No matter what. ]

[eyeswideopen]

[He politely clears his throat. It's been a little difficult to watch once they got into it but, the smile on his face is smug. They're his. His.

He focuses his thoughts, sending them both Now, I know you've waited forever for this. But will you permit me to cut in? ...if you're alright with me kissing you, Nanami.

His love sweeps into the connection, like the tide coming in. He's inwardly reeling just how much this has done for the damage in his heart. It won't cure everything but it does enough he doesn't feel quite as afraid.]

[i_think]

[ She feels his presence in her mind like the surf washing over her. There's a distant sound of gulls in the enlightened room, maybe a beach just beyond their sight.

It's calm, and it combined with Hinata's emanating tangible love makes her so happy. She smiles into her second kiss with Hinata, and as she breaks away from him she gives him one more quick kiss. As if she's parting somewhere, one last goodbye.

Not that she's going anywhere. Instead she tugs on Komaeda's hand to pull him closer, and in turning towards him she leans on Hinata. Her dazed, love-filled look would look sleepy to someone who only knew Nanami in passing. But if she was sleepy, it would be a very happy dream.

Come here... please, she doesn't even have to think, but she does so anyway, smiling all the while. Arm circled around Hinata.

This is an activity they can all three engage in. ]

[hopedout]

[ He can't help but pause, his face heating up as the words that pierce his mind causes his scarlet red eyes to shoot wide open matching the flush in his cheeks. He can't believe what he's hearing.

Is this a dream? Surely he has to pinch himself to make sure, since Komaeda actually offered to kiss her... and he gets to watch? He isn't sure if he'll be able to take it. ]

[eyeswideopen]

[He'd argue with Hajime that this is exactly why he needs a bigger, more comfortable couch. But Nanami has her hand on his arm and he's pulled off balance. He grabs Hinata's thigh to keep from toppling off the couch. That would have been a great way to start this connection.

As you wish. Komaeda gently cups the side of her face and marvels at the soft texture of her hair on his fingers. His control slips; pale, star-like white flowers carpet the floor of the house, spreading out and emminating a soft comfortable glow. Gold dragon scales ripple about him before he shuts his eyes when his forehead makes contact with hers.

He needs to calm down. Dimmly he's aware that he's approaching that limit of what he can handle all at once. This has been a difficult week for so many reasons. It takes a moment to get himself under control.

Komaeda draws back enough she can see his face clearly and tips his head to the side, leaning in. If Hinata's kiss had been desperate and full of his love. His is gentle, and clearly asking for permission to venture further.]

[i_think]

[ Ah! The three are almost on top of each other now, Nanami holding Komaeda with her other arm. When their foreheads connect, she lets out a gasp as the golden scales briefly pass from his skin to hers -- but they're gone in an instant, before she can blink. She would squint at the brightness in the room if she weren't already doing so from the emotion she's feeling, and she's just conscious enough of it to know that it's her causing that light.

Komaeda's kiss is gentle, and she imitates it, getting to know how he feels and how he tastes. If it's permission he wants, he has it; her mind is open to them both, and it's full of love and inviting. ]

[eyeswideopen]

[He takes his time, exploring her lips in gentle surges. It's as much to let her adjust to the difference, and to let himself keep steady. Like he'd expected, he has to show her what little he knows about kissing.

It doesn't bother him in the slightest. It's alluring that they'll learn from one another. His heart settles, no longer thudding so fast that it would be a problem. Komaeda breaths in through his nose and deepens the kiss at last, letting himself finally surrender to it.

His hand on Hinata's thigh travels up his stomach and over his chest, fisting the fabric. He has to protect this. The feelings, the care two people are giving him without asking anything of him but the same.

All he's ever wanted is right here and if someone dares try to take it he'll make them pay. This is...something that makes his hopes feel like they could do anything. Even carve paths through the poison of the world below.]

[hopedout]

[ Watching them kiss like this didn't feel strange at all; being that observer actually made his heart pound more, nearly leaping out his chest as he licks his lips, nervous as he watches intensely, a small groan passing through as Komaeda fists the fabric of his shirt. ]

O, oi...!

[i_think]

[ She's leaning on Hinata's chest at the same time that she's tasting Komaeda, getting to know his taste and his touch. Sighing into him and holding him, gently rubbing his back as he did earlier, experiencing the two of them as fully as she can.

The light begins to fade as she pulls out of the kiss for air, smiling at the boys. She's so happy that she can barely stand it. ]

Hmm... how about if... I stay with you two for a little while today... if that's all right?

[eyeswideopen]

I was going to ask if both of you would stay until tomorrow morning. [Komaeda tucks himself up against them with a tired sigh. His hands relax as the last of energy slips through his fingers. He's so drained, all of the emotional highs and lows of the week catching right back up with him. It's a lot like a leaf in the wind, he supposes. All the stress is...mostly missing.]

...this is my only full day free for the next few days. I can't tell you much except the treaty is going along about like one would expect. We're also studying to see if we can discover more accurate transporter codes. [It's about this time he realizes the only one that knows he's a representative of Peromei is Hinata. He sets his chin on Nanami's shoulder like a cat looking for a scratch.] Ah, right. Nanami, I'm one of the Arehtei representatives.

They're using us as mediators between the two governments Shaarnath and Verens. [He's overwhelmed by all the closeness but, at the same time he dearly wants it. He murmurs sleepily and shuts his eyes.] I'll tell you more when we're not under a clause to keep our mouths shut.

[hopedout]

I don't mind, but... is there enough space on the bed for three of us?

[ Unless the arrangement is going to be different, but he really wants to cuddle with the two of them. ]
