Just Hanging Out

Maeve noted the frown on his face and frowned herself "Hikago tell me how do you feel right now" she said referring to the frown and his gazing out "Yeah... I guess he his though I don't see how he's lucky" she said her eyes darting away from him.

He tilted his head and thought. "Happy for a friend." He poked her forehead. "He's lucky because he has someone pretty with a lovely voice who is also very kind."

Maeve blinked at the poke and nodded "Thank you" she said before standing up wanting another drink, her throat feeling dry all of a sudden "I wonder how he is... I haven't seen him since that blasted kissing game of his" she mumbled with a pout as she opened the fridge and took out two glasses then poured out some milk. She huffed and leaned on the counter and sipped at her drink quietly.

He walked over and took the second glass. "Kissing game?" He asked as he sipped his milk. "I have heard of it and saw people play it but never played it myself as well as this odd one called the nervous game. I'd never play them myself unless I wanted to date the girl." He spoke casually and leaned against a wall.

Maeve glanced at him and shrugged "Played them both with Aris quite hilarious really" she said with a smirk as she took another sip of her milk. "He played it with lots of his friends I think" she said with a casual shrug "and the rules we played on the kissing game was loser dates the winner till she/he gets better than the winner" she repeated then blinked "How the hell do I still remember that" she grumbled at herself

Hikago tilted his head and frowned again at the wager of the kissing game and then shook his head figuring it wasn't his place to say anything all though his ears dropped a little. "I see.." He nodded. "Explains why when I did want to play no one wanted to" He shrugged his shoulders and set his glass down.

Maeve frowned slightly as she glanced at him again noting that his ears drooped. She sighed and reached for his tail with her own. "Speak out your thoughts" she said, looking forward out a window that she barely noticed was there before "and people are fools sometimes" she uttered then sipped at her milk "you're a great guy ya know lots of girls should be dying to play the kissing game with you"

He coughed and blushed more then ever before his skin practically turning all red. "Well I don't think it's right to date someone just because they won this isn't the dark ages ya know." He wrapped his tail around hers and his ears perked up at the touch. "Plus I'm jealous of him." He muttered the last part and picked his glass back up to sip some more. "Thanks for the kind words."

Maeve turned to him as he coughed , a bit worried before blinking at his statement. A Cheshire like grin spread her face as she started laughing "Quite true" she said after before blinking her ears perking up hearing what he mumbled "You're what?" she repeated, raising an eyebrow at him before tugging at his tail "Welcome"

Hikago shook his head and took a large drink from his glass finishing it. "I didn't say anything." He looked away and could swear his face had turned as red as a tomato. He hoped she bought what he said as his tail wrapped around her hand. "I doubt there are many girls that would want to play either game with me I know none ever have before." He said softly seeming torn between happy and sad about the fact.

Maeve tsk'ed at him and shook her head "Oh no no no no Mr. Lionheart tell what you said" she demanded playfully a grin on her face. She pouted though at the next part "Trust me you're sweet and kind no girl in their right mind would turn you down" she said with a slight smile before taking his and her glass and putting them in the sink. She turned back to him and hugged him, her arms slipping round his waist "And stop undermining yourself"

He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly. "I said I was jealous of him.." He spoke softly and laid his head on top of hers. "Well then everyone I've liked so far has been crazy?" He asked with a slight chuckle. "As for undermining myself it's a defense mechanism if I don't have confidence in myself most of the time then no one can make me feel worse." He spoke like it was such a simple and justified reason

Maeve smiled and purred contentedly "Jealous? Why?" she asked as her tail swayed around behind her trying to find something to do. "Am I crazy?" she asked, pulling back a bit so he can see the cute mock pout on her face. "But..." she said with a real pout "Please... just stop undermining yourself"

He smiled down at her and his tail found hers so their tails could cuddle. "Well I haven't asked you out or anything so you can't turn me down and by your own logic be crazy." He nodded. "I will try to not undermine myself around you." He said as he petted her.

Maeve chuckled and shook her head at him "You're the crazy one" she retorted at him before purring at the pet. She cuddle closer to him and grinned "I claim thee!" she exclaimed with a giggle "You shall now be mine.. if you want to that is" she said as she looked up at him

He laughed and looked at her with an inquisitive look in his eyes. "So now I'm some kind of pet?" He started thinking about that while his tail rubbed hers.

Maeve shook her head, her raven curls strewn about slightly "Not a pet!" she exclaimed before cuddling him trying to hide her face as she was blushing at their tails "More as a snuggle cuddle buddy"

Hikago rubbed his chin as he thought more and cuddled back to her. "I guess that is acceptable since it's better then nothing." He smiled. "As long as your boyfriend doesn't get mad over it since I don't want to cause problems."

Maeve grinned and kissed his cheek "Yay!" she exclaimed, her ears perking up "Thanks you!" She pulled away from him, regretfully and rubbed her hands together "I do seem to remember we have a tour to get too?"

Hikago nodded and grumbled at the loss of contact. "Yea I forgot all about the tour." He smiled and grabbed her hand. "Shall we get to the tour then?"

Maeve nodded and made her tail wrap itself round his wrist "Well as you can see we're standing here at my very very cozy kitchen" she said in a mock serious tone before a grin spread her lips. She wandered to the door leading to the living room was and stopped in the middle of the room "This is the living room and over here..." she said leading him into another door "Is the hot tub" she said humming. "Next is upstairs..." she said then grinned "Keep up" she said and dashed towards the second floor. She stopped abruptly at a maeve colored door and opened it. "This is my room" she said then moved on to the next room and entered "The guest bedroom and then" she said as she walked them over to the door connecting the room to the other room and her bedroom "The bathroom."

She huffed slightly and opened the door to her room via bathroom and plopped down on her bed "Thats about it"

Hikago smiled and kept up with her easily listening to what she said. He sat down next to her on her bed and his hand rested on hers. "I like your house it's cozy but living alone in any house would be lonely." He said as he squeezed her hand a little.

Maeve sighed and squeezed his hand back "Yeah that's true" she said with a pout before moving to lie down. She turned her head to look at him "And where are you staying Hikago?" she asked.

He shrugged as he thought about it. "I haven't decided yet exactly." He moved to lay next to her. "If you think it'd be a good idea I could always stay here.." He had to admit that the idea wasn't at all displeasing.

Maeve smiled slightly and cuddled up to him then blinked "You're not staying anywhere" she said in disbelief before pouting "That's it you're staying here" she said with a nod before poking him "The guest room is officially your room"
