[She'd only come over to deliver the (adorable) cake she'd picked up from that new posh little bakery down the road. Maybe stay five minutes more or so just to chat, if she could afford the time. That was supposed to have been it. Kelly has about a million other things on her schedule for today, but...somehow it's difficult to care about that when she's wrapped comfortably in the arms—uh, tentacles, of the guy she likes most. Tako knows just how to squeeze all her concerns away and bring her back to being herself, for a little while. It's hard to resist.

Kelly presses another kiss to Tako's face, grinning a little as she brushes her fingers through his hair.]

...You know, it's been twenty minutes. I think my next appointment is going to be very late.

[Not that her tone suggests she's going anywhere.]

[She nods.]

I'm sure.

[The smile on her face falters as seriousness seeps into her expression. Kelly drops her gaze and places a hand gingerly upon one of Tako's arm tentacles, making long, light, hopefully reassuring strokes with her fingertips.]

If...I do need to stop... [She looks back at him again, her eyes full of earnest.] ...Then, you know it's not because of you, right? It's only...well, you know by now how I am with this sort of thing...

[tako]

Yeah. I know. [ his tone is soft, quiet. ]

I don't have a lot of experience with this sort of thing- [ re: none. ]

-but if I do anything wrong, let me know, alright? Don't just run off okay? I wanna' talk or- you know, whatever.

[ he's never been all that eloquent, or good at expressing his feelings. ]

[redhotmagma]

[It doesn't matter to her that Tako isn't eloquent. Kelly was once used to the confidence and poise of the boys from the drama department, how they play to their scripts and speak sweet nothings with such ease. She had enjoyed that. At least, until she dated Tako and found more honesty in his nervous confessions than she ever had from them.]

I won't run away. I promise. [She looks directly into his eyes, wanting him to see how honest she is. She's not going to hurt him like that again, she's going to stay with him however uncomfortable she becomes and see this through. She presses her lips to his again in a quick kiss before drawing back, the hand at Tako's tentacle shifting upward over his shoulder and to the back of his neck, her fingers drawing lightly through his hair.]

You know, I've never felt this comfortable with anyone before. But let's take it a little slow...I don't want to rush this.

[tako]

...me neither, not counting that I've never been this close with anyone else before.

[ he just felt safe with her, safe enough that he didn't have to even worry about retracting his tentacles. it kind of felt like stretching. ]

I don't think I could move fast if I tried, I wanna' savour every second.

[redhotmagma]

[She laughs softly.]

Same here. Just getting to be here with you like this, it's lovely.

[Her hands are on the move again, her fingertips trailing down across the fabric of Tako's shirt. She can't settle on just one place to focus on, having to remind herself to be patient as she spreads her hand upon his chest. She wants to explore his entire body and show love to every previously unloved inch of skin with soft caresses and kisses. Hazarding something a little bolder, Kelly gently nudges Tako's chin up so his throat is exposed to her nose and lips. She plants a safe, light kiss just below his Adam's apple, before shifting upward to settle a warmer kiss under his jawline.]
