How long has it been since their schedules aligned for a night like this ? Skipping the night out for an evening in with candlelit dinners and soft music. Still savoring the last of their meals, Ojiro holds one hand in hers, another around her waist as they gently sway to the melody that lulls them into warmth only felt when together. Though her features often remain transparent, he knows they share the same expression to one another. His smile is gentle, simper soft & lovestruck as he pulls her in close to himself.

He knows her well. The way he tilts his head just right to know where to meet invisible eyes with his own. The ability to take her hand without a second grasp to find it. And somehow, knowing where exactly to find her lips with his, kissing her in slow, meaningful fashion as the song plays along well into the rest of their night.

There's a soft hum to go with the way he twirls her in a dance within the living room of their space. No voice of an angel, but one that could hit the notes right enough to pass by. Spinning her around, he pulls her in close with a gentle peck on the lips. Then another. Then one that last longer than the rest, smiling adoringly into the kiss to his lover this fine evening.

"  There  was  a  sudden  mission  call  in  the  middle  of  the  night  yes-…  yesterday  ?  "  Oh  how  time  blends  in  the  midst  of  exhaustion  &  fatigue  as  he  barely  stands  to  be  awake  as  he  leans  back  on  the  couch  of  the  common  room.  "  Geez,  yesterday  I  think.  "  He's  fairly  certain.  "  We  ended  up  apprehending  a  whole  underground  operation,  which  was  really  cool  but…  took  a  long  time  to  prepare...  and  then  after  it  all,  get  everyone  arrested  and  processed…  "

A  yawn  escapes  him,  only  masked  by  a  hand  draped  over  his  mouth  for  a  moment.  "  Maybe  I'll  just  nap  here  for  a  minute…  then  we  can  do  the  assignments  together.  Sound  fair  ?  "  If  he  were  to  move,  he's  not  sure  he'd  make  it  all  the  way  up  to  his  room  at  this  pace.
