[He shakes his head, still keeping his eyes fixed on their hands. Nope. he couldn't tell. He was still a completely clueless virgin at that point, he wasn't exactly sure what to look for. He could tell she was enjoying it, yes, but...not if she was enjoying it.]
Y-yeah, kinda. [He's a little easier to tell now that he knows what signs to look for beyond "girls get wet down there". But he still can't always tell immediately. Girls a tricky. Much easier for them to hide or even fake arousal, compared to boys.] Well...then I'm still not completely sure what the conditions are.
[He knows that Kokichi didn't enjoy having his guro square filled, but that doesn't necessarily mean he wasn't physically aroused while it happened. The other guy WAS fucking him while also chopping his limbs off, so... Eugh, no he doesn't want to think about that. That's still so messed up. He shakes his head a little, as if to clear it and looks back up.]
But, um...the whole point of body paint is to eventually lick it off, so...if you want to write on me, that's fine.
[Since he knows you like sweets more than he does.]
U-uhm... guess we could...try and knock out four at once.
[You'd think a guy would be super excited and jump right on that offer to have his dick sucked. Shuichi, on the other hand, looks uncertain.]
But...if that's the case, then I...wanttobetheonewriting.
[The words come out in an embarrassed rush. Small victory though, he manages to keep himself from trailing off into a mumble this time. Maybe the next time he tries to tell her what he likes, he'll be able to speak 100% clearly. Third time's the charm, right?]
[She did kind of think a guy would be excited about that, even as embarrassing as it is. That's just what guys are like, isn't it...? But then he looks uncertain, and she opens her mouth to tell him she was just joking and not to worry about it.
She closes her mouth without saying anything at all at his rush of words, though, eyes going wide as a flush slowly suffuses her cheeks. He wants to... oh. Oh. She kind of wants to press both hands to her cheeks, but she only has one free hand, so one hand to her cheek it is. Kind of a silly-looking effect, but. So it goes.]
Oh... really?
[She doesn't sound doubtful, just surprised and a little embarrassed. She didn't know that was something he'd want to do...?]
I-I mean... we could always split it up and do that on its own, too. Um... if you wanted. I mean, obviously I wouldn't mind, but--
[She's rambling, jeez.]
I-I just mean, we don't have to do it at the same time as writing! If you wanted to, um, do that...
[It really does look silly. Like she's a southern belle with a case of the vapors or something. Oh my stars.]
[He nods mutely. Yes, really. He hasn't just been reading novels when he holes himself up in the library for hours at a time. Plenty of that time has been devoted to research, as well. And, to him, the idea of going down on Kaede is more appealing (and less embarrassing) than having her suck him off.]
[Not that he'd say no to that, if she really wanted to. Of course he'd enjoy that too, but... In a situation like this, where things are a little less mutual...where one is giving and the other receiving...he'd rather be the former.]
L-later, then. I do think it's a good idea to try and do at least two at a time, but...I don't think we should...force it either. You know what I mean? [Do squares that go together, sure, but don't add stuff on just for the sake of adding it on.] It's not a race, even if we have to play more seriously to support Oma-kun. We can still do things at our own pace.
[Hey, boyfriend? You're getting another kiss. Just because. She holds it for a few seconds, dropping her hand from her cheek to hold his other hand. Because he's cute and she loves him.]
So... is there anything else you, um, wanted to talk about trying? Whether it's on the card or not, I mean... stuff you wanted to do together, even if it's not right now.
Um... [Well there's the whole moving in together suggestion she made yesterday. That's something else they didn't really adequately cover. They didn't even ask Kokichi if he'd want to do it. But...does he want to bring that up right this second?]
[That's still just...such a huge step, even with as much time as Kaede spends in his room.]
[She hums quietly and leans in, wrapping her arms around him for a hug and nuzzling her nose against his cheek affectionately. Maybe that's a lot to ask, having him admit he wants to... eat her out, on top of the other stuff they'd talked about. Yeah, she won't push him to keep talking about the cards. They're at a good point to start.]
Um... have you thought about what I said yesterday? [she asks finally, keeping her nose pressed against his cheek.] About... getting a place together? Even if it's just the two of us, we could still put the extra money aside for Oma-kun.
[She must really be set on it, to bring it up again so soon. And the fact that this time she didn't open with "maybe the three of us could get a place together" makes him think that, maybe, it wasn't helping Kokichi that had prompted this. She must just be ready to take that step already.]
[Which...isn't all that surprising, really. Kaede isn't exactly a model of patience. She doesn't dip her toes in the pool, she just dives right in.]
Mmm...not much. I thought about it a little bit while I was waiting for the two of you to finish talking, but after that...
[After that things got Busy and he hadn't spared it a second thought. He nuzzles her nose a little with his cheek.]
[Kaede "leaping in with both feet" Akamatsu at it again.
And maybe it is a big step -- or it would be, normally. If they were at home, and things were normal, she wouldn't even dream of it. They're still high school students, after all! But they're dead, or narrowly-saved, or something, and there just doesn't seem a reason to hesitate. Not when they've gone so far together already.
She hums quietly, pressing her lips briefly to his cheek.]
Mmm... yeah. We could have more space, and some places have kitchens, and Oma-kun could come hang out with us more easily... if we're really going to be here for a long time, we really should get a place with at least more than one room, don't you think?
Of course...I didn't think we'd stay in these cabins forever. [Especially not Kaede, given her spending habits. At the very least, she needs somewhere with a bigger closet.] I just...didn't think we'd be discussing the possibility so soon.
[Of course he didn't. Because if left to his own devices, Shuichi moves at the pace of a half frozen snail.]

[She hums, but, well, anything they'd do together hopefully gets both of them aroused, so... it shouldn't come up, she's pretty sure?]
Alright! I'll have to think about what to write... Oh, but we don't have to do that right now. And, um...
[While they're on the subject of trying to do multiple squares at once,]
We could... probably do the, um, the oral square too. If you wanted.
[She'd be licking him anyway so like?? It's fine.]

[Not much... would change... with how often she stays over already.]
no subject
[He'll come around, soon enough.]
M-mm! [He nods, giving her hand a little squeeze.] I can do that, promise.
