Monkey and Bunny (D4 LE, Tomoe's Yurt)

[Soshi Yuuru]

He chuckled and winked, "Who's exaggerating now my dear? Not a no-dachi... but not a tanto either. Lets meet in the middle."

He smiled, "Perhaps I'm willing to give up my big fish stories for someone who I know won't fall for it? Especially if it means she'll come to respect me a bit more."

[Usagi Tomoe]

"Maybe I could trust you a bit more if you weren't always trying so hard to impress," she retorted with a playful grin, biting gently once on her lower lip.

"Big Fish stories don't impress anyone who's more clever than you."

[Soshi Yuuru]

He smiled handsomely, "So you'd prefer solid proof and examples rather than boasting?"

[Usagi Tomoe]

"Of course," she nodded. "Boasting are for the Ikoma, and made-up things are for fairytales."

[Soshi Yuuru]

He leaned in a bit closer, "Perhaps you'll allow me to show how much I care for you then?"

[Usagi Tomoe]

She didn't draw away this time, but there was certainly a strong blush coming on. "Uhm... h-hai?" she gave a small nod.

[Soshi Yuuru]

He smiled and lifted his hand up to the back of her neck and tenderly kissed Tomoe. He moved his other arm around her waist to schooch her body up against his. He held the kiss for several precious moments before breaking and gently nuzzling noses with Tomoe.

Looking into her unique eyes he smiled and whispered, "You're so beautiful."

[Usagi Tomoe]

The empty cup was dropped as Yuuru pulled her close into his embrace, one hand coming to rest on his shoulder while the other arm finding its way around his waist to rest its hand on his back.

Tomoe, usually outspoken and acting tough, was now a timid quiet thing, not sure what to say in situations like this.

"Damnit, why are you so charming?" she murmured in reply after a few moments, resting her forehead against his.

[Soshi Yuuru]

He chuckled through his nostrils and began to gently massage her neck, "That's about as easy to answer as if I asked, 'how did you get so beautiful?'."

[Usagi Tomoe]

His touch was soothing and relaxing. "Maybe it's true I have an ancestor in my family who was a foxwife?" she said with a small giggle. "But what's your excuse? Bayushi-ancestry, perhaps...?"

[Soshi Yuuru]

He smiled, "I'll have to ask."

He leaned in and kissed her again, this time more briefly, but equally tender and sweet. He pulled her head in to rest on his chest which was still slightly exposed and gently caressed her long hair.

[Usagi Tomoe]

She wondered if he could feel the heat of her blushing face against his exposed chest. "You look so cute in women's clothes, so maybe a Doji somewhere in your family history..." she teased playfully and hugged him closely, the hand on his back tugging lightly at the fabric there.

Her lips and nose nuzzled against his bare skin.

[Soshi Yuuru]

He smiled and kissed the top of her head, "Maybe... thanks for helping me find that part of my past. Though... I'm starting to feel a bit constricted by your little dress."

[Usagi Tomoe]

"Uhm, well... y-you could take it off, if it's uncomfortable..." he could probably feel her tense a little as she said that. "I'm sure it's unhealthy to wear clothes that are too tight. Or something..."

[Soshi Yuuru]

He smirked and moved his hands to the ties on his robe, "Doctor's orders."

When he slipped the robe off his shoulders he smiled, "Now you realize you'll have to stay close to keep me warm." He wrapped his arm around of her waist and brought her close to him.
