[ That retaliation earns him a glare. He'd otherwise have gotten a bonk on the head for that, but a) she doesn't want to ruin the moment, and b) she'd hurt herself more than she hurt him.

She's doubly glad she doesn't do it when she gets some sweetness in return. It may simply be nuzzling, but it's as good as a kiss to her, considering what he'd said about having no mouth. Monika's stunned into silence, and it's now her turn to have difficulty looking at him. Not to say she doesn't seem happy, because she absolutely does. The way she giggles, ever so smitten, says a lot. ]

You're welcome, too. Fate just found a funny way to bring us together, I guess. Even if you're pretty hopeless on the socializing front~

[ Haha! Zing! She always gets the last word!

With his leaning back, she doesn't need to be told what to do. Immediately, she gets comfortable against him, curling up on his chest after some readjusting of her hair. Any chance she can get to listen to his special kind of heartbeat, she's going to take it. ]

You can stay. I don't think I would've had the heart to actually make you leave. Maybe I'm not so good at being mean? Ahaha.

[ Mm. Yeah. Okay. ]

Besides. You promised me the entire night. It's not nice to break promises~ [ Her finger draws lazy patterns over the decoration? tattoo? something or other on his chest. ] And...it'll be nice having someone around that I trust for once.

[ Her "spouse" could go kick rocks. ]
