And so he stays just close enough to be distracting without providing any touch, humming cheerfully as they walk, until they get back home and he can innocently head off towards his room.]
[Also it's harder to talk about with Jean! She knows better than most how fraught their situation was. Is, still, in back of Pavo's mind. But he's trying to downplay his hesitations, so instead once they're safely alone he's gathering Noctua into his arms.]
[He is pulled! He slips, falling sideways onto the bed next to Noctua, snickering all the while. It's fun. It reminds him of when they were kids, and that's soothing enough to make Pavo relax a little even deep down where he's actually a churning maelstrom of Issues 24/7!]
[The problem, here -- the truly unfair and horrible thing -- is that despite Pavo being taller, Noctua is more solid. Pavo makes up for it visually with excessive stupid shoulder padding, but right now it means he is failing to flip them.
And thus, he'll have to resort to dirty fighting. Like, say, subtly kicking his own boots off and over the edge of the bed, just so they'll make a sudden noise and maybe startle Noctua!]

Well, that went better than it could have.
Re: Day 28, after gatecrashing Mint
There was far more gossiping than I anticipated.
Re: Day 28, after gatecrashing Mint
Really now. I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm obligated to report to my commanding officer.

Re: Day 28, after gatecrashing Mint
If you're going to embarrass me with things that apply to you, at least embarrass yourself too.
Re: Day 28, after gatecrashing Mint
[Gently squashing him!]
Re: Day 28, after gatecrashing Mint
[fondly, going for a kiss.]
Re: Day 28, after gatecrashing Mint
It was fun last time, getting you riled up.
Re: Day 28, after gatecrashing Mint
Re: Day 28, after gatecrashing Mint
You could try. Or I could pin you. Or... we could fight it out.
Re: Day 28, after gatecrashing Mint
[one he likes]
Re: Day 28, after gatecrashing Mint
[aaas he just casually attempts to lift Noctua and throw him over his shoulder. Wrestle???]
Re: Day 28, after gatecrashing Mint
[KICKY FEETS]
Re: Day 28, after gatecrashing Mint
[laaaaughing, twirling them both around and then dropping Noctua onto his bed!!
...Although really, it's more like slamming him. Cause they're fighting.]

tickle him.]
Re: Day 28, after gatecrashing Mint
N-Noctua!
[he squirms, laughing differently now and grabbing at the offending hands]
Re: Day 28, after gatecrashing Mint
[delighted. letting Pavo grab his hands, but just so he can lace their fingers together cutely and settle himself firmly atop him.]
Re: Day 28, after gatecrashing Mint
...I'm going to grind your face into the floor.
[So he grumbles, trying to roll them over despite Noctua's firm weight.]
Re: Day 28, after gatecrashing Mint
[does his best to just. be heavy.]
