As long as you're not calling me cute, you can stay.

[that just seems like he's asking for it, though]

[fleurescence]

What about adorable?

[foolmetwice]

[his ears lay flat against his head and he gives her a deadeyed stare]

[fleurescence]

Or sweet? Precious? Loveable? Charming?

[foolmetwice]

[turns on his heel to walk away]

[jokingly]

[fleurescence]

Mars, nooooo!

[Catching him by the hand]

[foolmetwice]

L was being too cruel so I had to leave.

[but he isn't trying to pull away when she grabs his hand]

[HE IS BEING OVER DRAMATIC]

[fleurescence]

[She does not let go of his hand, big sad puppy dog eyes]

I didn't mean to be cruel! I just thought it was important to establish boundaries so I wanted to know where they were.

[foolmetwice]

[blinks at her a little bit, the faux grouchiness fading]

-- you weren't teasing me?

[fleurescence]

It wouldn't be fun to tease you about things you actually minded, you know?

[foolmetwice]

[omg]

[L is pure]

. . . I don't really mind.

[fleurescence]

[Squeezes his hands, looking so relieved!]

Really? Phew! I was worried for a moment there.

So, it's okay if I call you those things?

[foolmetwice]

Only if you don't mind me being grumpy about it because I have an image to maintain.

[fleurescence]

Awww, that's okay, I don't mind that.

[And then with a teasing grin, now they're both in on the joke!]

It's part of what makes you so cute.

[foolmetwice]

[STICKS HIS TONGUE OUT]

You're totally not the first person to say that.

[he seems more at ease now that she isn't taking him seriously]

[fleurescence]

[JUST AS PLANNED. L laughs, still hasn't let go of his hands.]

Somehow I'm not surprised to hear that.

[foolmetwice]

[ROLLS HIS EYES A BIT]

Anyway, you got a square I can help you fill?

[fleurescence]

Oh, don't worry, you are right now.

[foolmetwice]

-- I am?

[he looks confused]

[fleurescence]

[Lifts up their clasped hands]

I had a square for hand holding, I can use this!

[foolmetwice]

Oh.

. . . ah.

[huh]

Well. Uh. Glad I could. . . help, then.

[fleurescence]

Thank you Mars.

Ah, and if others have been petting you, are there any other squares you'd like help with?

[foolmetwice]

[lifts up his card]

You've got the pet square. It's been claimed by L.

[fleurescence]

Awww, I'm happy to claim the superior petting.

[foolmetwice]

You should be. That's a pretty coveted spot, you know.
