"What are you doing, Gourry?"

His hand stills as he looks at me sheepishly. A moment ago he'd been running it through my hair as I 'slept', caressing, playing - tantalizingly sweet. Don't toy with me, Gourry.

"I thought I saw something."

Sure you saw something. What's your game, anyway? You've been playing this attraction thing for a while now ... bath backrubs, midnight cuddles when you think I'm not awake ...

"In my hair? Ouch!"

What the - ?!!

"Um ... this."

A strand of kinked and jagged hair. Nice recovery, Gou-kun. You aren't as stupid as you look. Something I've had first hand experience in learning for the past weeks. But why would you hit on me??

"Oh. Did you have to pull it out?"

He looks sheepish again as he discards it, not noticing how his fingers are absently playing with my hair again. Taunting me like forbidden fruit. I want to hit on you, but that'd break the spell ... I want you to work out whatever plan's been cooking up there inside your not so dull head.

"Sorry."

The fingers withdraw and he pulls back a little, giving me some space. I'll play along with you, Gou-kun, just play a little faster!!! Cut to the chase already, I'm just sitting here for gods-sakes! Do I need to pull a desperate virgin routine?!?!

"It's okay, Gourry ... Just warn me next time, okay?"

There. Nicely bland, not letting on how I'm feeling about all this. He smiles brightly. It's such a pretty smile ...

"Okay."

I drop back and feign pre-sleep. A creak of wood and he suddenly drops down next to me, cuddling. Feeling brave? Well so am I. I reach out and snuggle up in his arms, enjoying the look of pleased confusion on his face. Guess what, Gou-kun. Change on plans. My turn to hit on you.
