[Thankfully, he seems to think the fussiness is cute. Honestly? It's adorable... the fussier she gets, the more he just wants to kiss her even more.
She speaks before he can, though, and then it's his turn to look a little bashful. He doesn't really think he deserves that much...! But... he also doesn't want to disagree with her, since, well... he also very much likes the sound of that--?! This is a difficult position she's put him in!]
Ah, well... um...
[He dips his head to bury his face in her hair, where he is safe from showing too much of his embarrassed expression.]
I don't know about that... really. I'm pretty ordinary. [And happy that way--he's sure she understands that feeling.]
But... I also don't exactly want to tell you to stop, you know...?
[ That opens her up to having this turned on her, and she knows it, but also, she can't not say it. Even if he's already being embarrassing, saying that much. On some level, there's still a part of her that kind of wants to punch him and run, just out of sheer hair-trigger anxiety. Nice things don't happen to Ritsuka! Not very often, at least, and certainly not enough that she can settle gracefully into the feeling.
But it's just an impulse, a thought that flashes in her mind and is gone again. She doesn't actually want to run away, no matter what the lizard part of her brain is trying to tell her. ]
So... so if you don't tell me to stop, I won't. I'm pretty bad at giving up.
[It's true that he could try to turn it around on her, but... right now, he feels like there's a way better use of his time than that. Later, though--he'll put a pin in it for later, because Ritsuka is still one of the most extraordinary people he's ever met, and he just wants her to know that with all of his heart.
Right now, though?
He'd much rather focus on how her words make his heart skip a beat.]
I definitely won't.
[A beat, and he nuzzles into her hair just a little bit more.]
You know... I really like it when you're a little fierce like this.
[ It's a joke, but it's also serious. Minato?? Please, you deserve a nicer girl than Ritsuka can really be.
But she's also unwilling to let go or pull back, so the complaining is mostly mumbled into his shoulder, her fingers flexing in his shirt. Even if she's saying that, she's still giving herself the permission to be greedy. Just for now. That's okay, right? ]
I'll kick your ass too. And then mine. We've gotta find you some nicer people to spoil you.
