[I MEAN. IT IS ALSO TRUE. SHE CANNOT DENY]

And you still like me anyway. Your taste is a biii~t questionable.

[jokered]

What can I say? I'm a bit of a shady guy.

[wow. he doesn't deny his questionable taste.

mostly because he already knows his taste is, in fact, questionable.]

[spinatalltale]

[squints at him]

[. . .]

[pinches his glasses between her fingers and tugs them off]

[. . .]

There we go. Now I see it.

[jokered]

[in return, she'll get to see a smile that definitely does the job at proving that point.

no shame, no shame at all.]

1/2

[spinatalltale]

[jesus christ]

[spinatalltale]

[. . . HEY NO, WAIT. WASN'T SHE THE ONE TRYING TO ONE-UP HIM HERE??? no fair!!]

[smooshes his cheeks together with both hands so that heart-stopping smile ceases to be so heart-stopping and turns into something worthy of laughing at instead]

[jokered]

[he's still making the smug face through the cheek smooshing, but it's fine, because he's also chuckling gently.]

[spinatalltale]

[. . . pfffffft]

[that's actually. . . ]

[pfffffffft]

[for the briefest of moments, her expression actually softens into something way more fond, way more earnest than her usual teasing smiles and sharp laughter. she lets go of his cheeks and leans forward to press her forehead against him with a sigh]

Ugh. . . you're really annoying sometimes, I hope you know that.

[there's no heat behind her words]

[jokered]

Well.

[are you ready, magilou.]

If being annoying gets you to make faces like that, then it's worth being annoying.

[oh.]

[spinatalltale]

[n-no. she wasn't ready. she is never ready for these kinds of earnest assaults on her heart]

Hmph.

[a beat. she doesn't pull away]

Well it isn't as though I go around giving these sorts of expressions to just anyone. You should feel honored.

[jokered]

[this is what happens when you date the guy that literally has arsene lupin in his heart, his true self.

2romantic, though in a stupidly earnest way.]

Truly, I'm always honored when I can steal a particularly tough heart.

[spinatalltale]

[SHE LIKES IT. . . SHE REALLY DOES. . . all those statements about his charm not working on her are totally lies]

[how did they go from sassy teasing to this in .5 seconds flat]

Heeeey, when you say it like that, you make it sound like you've stolen tons of other hearts before mine.

[jokered]

[because this is just how they are.]

You know that's what a Phantom Thief does, right?

[spinatalltale]

[hmphs!]

I think some phantom thieves prefer actual treasure over hearts.

As long as I'm your favorite, I suppose it's okay. ☆

[jokered]

Well... yours is the only one I want to keep.

[oh.]

[spinatalltale]

[. . . oh. . . ]

[huffs!!]

[she doesn't give a verbal response, but. the lack of sassy commentary, coupled with the way she gingerly brushes his bangs from his eyes and then leans in to kiss him is probably pretty telling]

[she, too, has her genuine moments!!]

[jokered]

[qell, this is a genuine moment that's definitely welcome in akira's eyes.

...and against his lips.

he shifts a bit, resting his hands on her hips and being a bit unrelenting. you know, just because he can.]

[spinatalltale]

[oh, hello. that too is certainly welcome on Magilou's end, and she's going to just card her hands through his hair as she leans further into him, matching his unrelenting pace with some of her own]

[the box of pocky that she had long since abandoned, but still held in her lap, is dropping to the ground with a thud]

[jokered]

[all of that pocky, probably ruined and broken now.

which makes akira snort gently into the kiss, pulling back enough to say:]

It's more fun without the snacks, anyway.

[spinatalltale]

[someone think of the poor pocky]

[he pulls away, but she doesn't go far, her nose still brushing against his]

. . . maybe a little. But they're still a nice perk.

[jokered]

[the pocky is cheap, it's fine.]

They're an okay perk. This is a better perk.

[kisses are the superior perk.]

[spinatalltale]

[she probably at least bought it with her own pocket change. Magilou learning not to mooch!!]

Eh.

They're "okay."

[JUST OKAY. . . she's purposefully underplaying it, which is probably pretty obvious cuz she is leaning in again to kiss him BECAUSE SHE CAN]

[jokered]

Is that why you keep coming back for more? Because they're just "okay?"

[he can give her some minor hassle between kisses, it's fine.]

[spinatalltale]

[she deserves every bit of it because she hassles him in return!!]

It is because I, the great Magilou, am an excellent kisser! And I wouldn't dare deprive you of that. That'd just be cruel.

[SURE, MAGS]

[jokered]

So she's a benevolent witch, after all.

[sure, akira.]
