[ with enough time, oushi would be far more sympathetic. empathetic, even, because there is certainly a particular kind of anguish in laying oneself out bare, only to be met with anything other than what one might have been hoping for...
true enough, oushi is getting there. he's no stranger to reacting strongly, after all. but for the moment he'll keep his focus on the now, just in case he fucks up again. ]
Just don't get any funny ideas about kicking me, [ he says, and though he's mostly joking (a meager attempt to lighten the mood) there is a small part of him that's serious... this position brings vanitas' foot awfully close to certain delicate parts of him, after all.
but after a scant glance upward to make sure there is only annoyance in the other's face and not actual malice, he readjusts himself so that he's seated cross-legged. with a hand around vanitas' lower calf, he slowly guides that waiting foot down to rest over his knee, where he can get to work on tugging free those laces.
once loosened enough, oushi will slowly ease the heeled boot off the other's foot, resting one hand around vanitas' calf again to hold the leg aloft. with a loud and dull thud the boot is dropped to the floor. he pats his knee again. ]
