Guess we better get moving then.

[unbr8kable]

Maybe I'm just waiting for you to get a move on.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Jeez, pushy.

[But he shoves himself up to sitting, laughing - hops up to his feet, and offers her a hand]

[unbr8kable]

That's my charm point.

[Is it though? Either way she takes it, easy]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Pulls her up]

Newsflash, dude, you got a bunch of em.

[unbr8kable]

[Gets to her feet and neglects to pull away after]

You saying I'm super pushy?

[crossmyheartandhope]

I'm saying it's charming when you're pushy, but there's a bunch of other stuff that's charming, too.

[Loops an arm around her waist and steers them toward the dorm]

[unbr8kable]

[Snorts, nudging at his side as she falls into step]

You're full of it.

...What kinds of things do you like?

[crossmyheartandhope]

What, about you?

I mean... a whole lot.

[A little flushed,]

[unbr8kable]

O-of course not about me.

...In partners, in general.

[The tips of her ears are quite warm,]

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... someone who's fun, and funny, and strong.

...patient when I'm dumb about stuff.

Kinda pushy, too.

[A beat of silence, as they walk; his ears are also pink now]

...guess it ended up being stuff I like about you, after all.

[unbr8kable]

[Ducks her head a little, face hot, but she leans in a little, bumping shoulders]

Funny how that's all stuff I like about you.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[The flush goes deeper still, and he glances away - glances back - leans into the shoulder bump, as he holds the door to the lobby so they can head inside]

Oh yeah? You saying I'm pushy?

[unbr8kable]

You can be pretty persistent when you wanna be.

[Enters, still keeping pace]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sometimes I got good reasons to be.

[Hitting the button on the elevator, when they get there]

[unbr8kable]

And sometimes you're just pushy.

[Leans against the wall so she can grin over at him]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Reaching over to poke at her, casual]

Says who?

[unbr8kable]

Says me, and I should know.

[Pokes back, familiar--hooks fingers at his side to tug him closer]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Leans in against her, easy, and stays that way when the elevator dings open. He loops an arm around her to steer her in]

Oh yeah? Cause you're the expert on pushy, huh?

[unbr8kable]

Your words!

[She expertly pushes the button to head to Avante at least, leaning into him a little as the door shuts]

[crossmyheartandhope]

What can I say? You're good at it.

[Settling in agaisnt her, casual]

[unbr8kable]

Don't question it, then. The expert has spoken.

[Stays steady there until the door opens and she can kick off the wall to let them into the dorm]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Following along with her, still close enough for their shoulders to brush]

Can't really argue, if you put it like that.

[unbr8kable]

Yep... And that's why I put it like that.

[No interruptions on the way through the receiving room and the common area; they can safely make it to her quarters]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[When they're safely in place and the door's closed behind them, he nudges her, gentle]

Okay, dude. From here on out, you don't gotta do nothing. It's nursemaid time.
