[flustered Maki is a cute Maki who must be smooched and thus Boss smooches.]
Be right back, then.
[and pulls away, letting go of her hand to go raid Shuten's room and maybe leave a message like "I O U -Boss" because phantom thief always leaves a message, right?]
[Perhaps this is still not ending up quite as subtle and private as Maki had hoped. but she still cannot quite bring herself to care, even when she is left alone to think about this for a minute, just shifting aimlessly in anticipation, wondering if there's anything she should do while she waits. She could start taking off her clothes? Is that too much?
Ultimately she does not, since she is not sure how long he'll be.]
[Now she does undo her obi, and take off the outer layer of her elaborate kimono, leaving her in her slip and petticoats, arms and a lot more of her collarbones bare]
...Let's sit on the bed, so we don't have to lean.
[target location for kissing spotted. but more importantly, he reminds himself to breathe even as he feels like his mouth's gone dry. he at least remembers to toe off his socks (assuming shoes were left at the door) and works on undoing his cuffs as he moves more onto the bed.]
[Taisho beds are low to the floor, and she folds her legs mostly under herself as she sits on the edge of the bed, close to him. She settles one hand lightly on his shirt, and runs the other through through the hair at the side of his head.]
[she's slower to build the intensity of the kiss too, still clearly a bit nervous despite her best efforts, but it doesn't take too long before she gets into it, lips parting and her hand splaying on his chest]
[nothing but encouraging on his end, following her lead in the kiss but also almost teasingly, playfully letting his tongue slide between her lips and against her tongue.
this while one of his hands goes down to her leg, her thigh where it settles and he draws circles against her skin with his thumb. probably. belatedly realizing he's still wearing gloves but. that's fine.]
[it is fine. the sensation of the fabric rubbing against her bare skin makes her squirm slightly, and she threads her fingers through to grip his hair like she did earlier, as she presses into the kiss with a considerable amount of force]
[that is a very nice sound. it triggers her to break away, her hand still gripped in place, only hesitating for a brief moment before swinging her leg around to kneel half-straddling his lap, which raises her up above him slightly. she is very red as she tilts her head slightly to bare her neck]

... okay. So. This is the part where I let you know that I really only have the vaguest idea of what I'm doing.
Just... in case there was any confusion there.
[a little embarrassed but also like. he remembers something about her yelling about him about that before, so like. yeah.]
no subject
I got that idea, but thank you for clarifying. We can just... try things and say what works? And figure it out together?
[saying that last makes her lips twitch up slightly.]
no subject
Okay.
Pick up where we left off, or...?

Good idea.

Something like that...?
no subject
Yeah, like that.
