[ tadashi sort of regrets spilling the beans there, because - really, no matter who gave it to him or what that might mean, it's still just a hat, and he hates that he's made her feel guilty. he settles, going still when she presses her forehead against his back, before he finally swallows a little sigh and tosses the hat onto the bedside table.




and really, as important as it is as a symbol to him, 80% of the reason he wears it is because of his ears. :|!!!!! ]

Probably not a good idea to go lugging something like that around planetside though, right? If I really do lose it, probably not gonna actually find it again.

[ he's trying to twist a little, to pull her around to his front. ]

[ino]

[ Newsflash: IT MAKES THE EARS LOOK BIGGER BOYFRAIN ...

She lets him do that though, looking up at him remorsefully now ]

You can do whatever you want with it. I bring my lighter everywhere with me.

[ Honestly, she'd probably feel a little less guilty about this if she didn't have an item of her own that was a tie to someone she would most likely never see again. But she does, and somebody hiding it without telling her would probably upset her, so ... ]

[ishere]

[ someone should clue him into that fact girlfran...

he winces a little at that remorseful look, leaning down to kiss her gently but firmly. apologizing, in his own way. ]

I never said anything about it. And until I got it back, I didn't even remember where I'd gotten it in the first place. [ it only really became meaningful after the weight of the realization that he'd probably never go back home settled in. ] Just... tell me things, okay? I promise my feelings won't be hurt if you think a hat I like looks dumb.

[ino]

[ She is also not very used to a boyfriend without an explosive temper, and so even when she's digested what he's said and kissed him back, she still looks unsure when she pulls away. ]

You're not mad?

[ishere]

I was kind of annoyed for a few minutes, but you apologized, so...

[ he's making a funny face at her. ]

Seems like a pretty dumb thing to get mad about, though. No harm done, right?

[ino]

Yeah, but ...

[ But what? It's not like she WANTS him to be mad.

She relaxes a little bit after a moment, like she was almost holding her breath without realizing. ]

... I guess not. I'm sorry.

[ishere]

[ tadashi will just lean down, moving as if to nip the tip of her nose. he's found his hat, everything's good, there's nothing worth being upset about. not when he has her here like this, so. ]

And I'm sorry I woke you up.

[ino]

Tadashi, the air turning on wakes me up.

[ She is a very light sleeper, if he hasn't noticed ... part of being a ninja, sigh.

But, at least that seems to have gotten her lips to quirk up in a small smile ]

You're fine.

[ishere]

[ he has, but he's ... still gonna apologize... ok... ]

I was gonna make some joke about you being fine, but - [ he's laughing even as he's talking here, weirdly embarrassed. ] I don't think I can talk like that and keep a straight face.

[ino]

[ That's ... rly cute ...

She's grinning a little bit, now, settling in his lap and draping her arms on his shoulders ]

But it's cute when you get all embarrassed.

[ She's leaning in for a kiss, when -- her communicator goes off ]

[ino]

...!

[ She gets a quick smooch in, but then she leans back from where she's sitting to grab at it from the bedside table ]

Ooh, that might be Allen -- !

[ishere]

[ after this long, little smooches still leave him looking kind of doofy. ]

Yeah? Is he okay?

[ino]

He'd better be, he was on a date earlier.

[ She's scrolling through her messages ]

I just wanna see if it went well!

[ishere]

Oh.

[ he cracks up slightly, reclining against his pillow. ]

Maybe he's calling to let you know he got tied up and interrogated.

[ino]

[ She's trying not to laugh, but ... he was the one who made a joke about it, so. There's a few giggles. ]

I don't think there's anyone else around who's crazy enough to do that.

And besides, these are just casual dates!

[ishere]

Is that supposed to matter? We hadn't even started dating yet, remember?

[ino]

[ She huffs ... ]

Yeah, but that was different.

[ Because she actually did, like, have a crush on him before that ... ]

[ishere]

If you say so, Ino.

[ with an air that sort of says 'i don't understand any of this relationship shit tbh.' ]

[ino]

It was! Because it was you, and all ...

[ ... She decides to leave it at that with a little huff, and returns to what she was reading ... before clapping a hand over her mouth. And emitting a muffled squeak of excitement ]

Oh my god!
