Usually, Blair was ready with a witty response. Armed and waiting for the perfect moment to strike, seizing all opportunity to push away, bark, yell, order… but Jonah’s playful words actually made her require a pause. The harshness in her eyes disappeared and without warning she shoved his back abruptly yet gently towards the nearby wall so she could prowl in closer for her ‘attack’ and assume control of a very much needed kiss, which felt as if it was going to tear out from her chest if she didn’t take one from him again. It was a softer kiss than usual, the same eagerness as always but gentle and affectionate which surprised her truthfully. Her hands took slow and soft caresses up his arms to his shoulders, then tugged him in closer where she wasn’t ready to pull away just yet. Her heart must’ve grown in size in that moment, breaking away from him but resting her forehead against his as she sighed. “Whatever it is going on, just know I like it, alright? I like you. This, us. Whatever.” she said quietly, which also was unlike her. She still hadn’t even let go of him, and her light eyes glanced up to his before a grin broke out against her features. “But you’re right, I definitely only like you because of your cooking.”
He watched her carefully, ready to follow her lead, he had learnt pretty on in their friendship that it was just easier to let things go at her own pace, and now that they were doing whatever this was it would be stupid of him to think otherwise. As he was pushed to the wall he gave a small ‘oof’ laughing purely at how much strength she had in that tiny body of hers. “This where you beat me up for showing up at work again and embarrassing you?” He hummed but his words were cut off by her lips and then he really didn’t need to say anything else at all. Instead he let his arms wind around her, keeping her tight to him, returning her soft kisses. Anyone could see them that past on the street, any of Blair’s colleagues, friends that they knew, and he couldn’t bring himself to care he was just happy. Softly the male pressed his lips to her forehead as she pulled away and he nuzzled his arms behind her back. “I know, I don’t need you to reassure me or keep me happy, I know.” His voice was rough as he looked at her. “I like it to, even if you are just using me.” Stealing a kiss from her once more the male stifled a yawn the best he could. “Come on, let’s get you some sleep.”
