[reluctantjinrou]

Can't hurt, I guess.

[Natsuno sits next to her and grabs a bottle. If it doesn't, he'll have to branch out and make physical contact.]

[booyaka_boom]

*After taking another large gulp, Selphie shakes her head and tops up her glass with apple juice*

Urgh, this stuff is seriously gross on its own.

[reluctantjinrou]

[He takes a drink.]

I tried it on Isla Empieza when we first came here. It's not that bad. I don't know if I can get drunk though. But my heart beats, so maybe.

[He's never tried it. He used to be such a good kid.]

The only relief from the cold I've found is...[He sighs.]

Physical contact.

[booyaka_boom]

Yeah, but I like it better when it tastes of something.

*Because that makes sense. She takes another sip and nods her head, satisified with the rum to juice ratio. Then she perks up a bit and raises a brow at him, sidling closer*

Oh, really, Yuuki? Tell me... how did you figure that one out, hmm?

[reluctantjinrou]

[He sighs a little bit. He did walk into that one, didn't he?]

Ace woke me up last night getting into my hammock, and with that knowledge, Riku and I sat close together this morning.

[booyaka_boom]

*Yup! And Selphie does look rather pleased about it*

Ooh! Ace and Riku? Aren't you Mr Popular?

*She giggles as she takes another drink*

[reluctantjinrou]

[He sighs again.]

I don't think so, no. Ace has a tendency to wander. I wonder if he's sleepwalking.

[booyaka_boom]

*She laughs openly at that this and shakes her head*

I think he's tried everybody's bed. Riku, on the other hand, that's another matter...

*Sly grin*

[reluctantjinrou]

[Natsuno just blinks at her and takes a drink from the bottle.]

What do you mean?

[booyaka_boom]

*She shrugs a shoulder casually, though there's a definite sense of mischef about her*

Well... You maybe went out of your way to go cuddle up with Riku, whereas Ace came to you. Besides, Riku's cute, so why not?

[reluctantjinrou]

I wouldn't say I went out of my way.

[Nope, not touching that cute comment, not at ALL.]

[booyaka_boom]

Naah of course you wouldn't. Why would you?

*She grins at him and takes a sip from her glass*

But I'm glad being cuddled with him helped.

[reluctantjinrou]

I don't know, I wouldn't.

[He glances away and shrugs a bit.]

It was warmer at any rate.

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie just grins and shakes her head*

Well, that's good. It must be nice to have someone to sit and get warm with.

[reluctantjinrou]

[It was definitely warm.]

It helped at least, but now I'm the same, freezing to death.

[booyaka_boom]

Uh huh. And you won't come sit any closer to me to warm yourself up because that space is reserved for Riku?

*Cause seriously, she's shivering too and it isn't nice*

[reluctantjinrou]

[He rolls his eyes at her and moves over to sit next to her.]

I'm not going to hug you.

[booyaka_boom]

I'm not asking you to hug me. But if you're gonna stand there freezing, and I'm gonna sit here freezing, then that's just plain stupid.

*She sighs a little at his response, but when he sits next to her she grabs onto his arm*

This isn't a hug, by the way.

[reluctantjinrou]

Alright, fine.

[He lifts a knee and leans his other arm on it.]

If we did this at home, people would talk.

[booyaka_boom]

Are you worried, Yuuki?

*Selphie nudges herself against him, squeezing his arm tight. There's a look of false shock and horror on her face*

Oh, no. Are people going to think we're in love?

[reluctantjinrou]

Worried? About what?

[He leans his cheek on his hand, looking at her.]

In Sotoba, the old women would be planning our wedding right about now.

[Rolling his eyes so hard.]

[booyaka_boom]

About falling desperately in love me?

*Said with the most seriously deadpan expression she can muster*

Aww. That's sweet. I think our kids will be super cute, don't you?

[reluctantjinrou]

[He snorts.] Well, I would, but I'm afraid you're just not my type.

[With that, he rolls his eyes at her again.]

I don't know about that. Imagine if we had children that inherited my hairstyle.

[booyaka_boom]

Aww, Yuuki, why do ya have to break my heart like this?

*She sighs and pouts, all dramatically exaggerated - though he could be forgiven for thinking she was actually heartbroken. She giggles straight away though and ruffles his hair*

Nah! It'd be cute! Your hair, my eyes - the sweetest little babies!

[reluctantjinrou]

I'm sure you'll get over it.

[He stares at her blandly. Ace did the same thing. Just what about him is saying 'please mess up my hair'?]

I still think I'd like to pass. I don't think children are in my future, for many many reasons.
