Manabu-- [Kazuma follows the retreat of his arm by reaching out to him again, his own arm going round his waist. An attempt to keep him close, to keep him from pulling back too far.] I know. I don't worry about you doing any of that on purpose.
[And for good measure, he follows up the reassurance with a peck on his cheek.] I don't mind a bit of static. I'm a little fond of the spark.
Wuh-- [Manabu flushes scarlet for a flash - just enough to fluff hair again before the cold part of coldblood evens his color out again. the flustered expression remains, however! it's like a staticky swoon, this particular Manabu style.
he'd have shrunk away more if the peck didn't halt the very notion - and his train of thought before he can snap out of it.]
Okay, well, that-- That's good. [lame, Manabu. he clears his throat again, lifting his chin - nearly bumping Kazuma's face doing so.] Er, that is, it's not like I could've done anything about it anyway, you know...!
Yes, well...[There's that soft, fond laugh again.] You're in luck, considering I find it endearing. [A pause, a grin. A chance to possibly fluster him further:] And cute.
[That statement is followed up with a brief, stolen kiss before he let's Manabu go.]
Though...it's only getting later. And I believe we have a date tomorrow to rest up for?
[goddammit he's winning again. Manabu wavers in place with the lingering, floaty feelings that cheeky kiss has instilled; he has half a mind to grab that face of Kazuma's and smooch it again!
but instead opts for just floaty frustration as the mention of being in time and a place is brought back.]
Uoh, ri-right...right. Yeah. [he backs away, reluctantly freeing himself from the hold.]
Let's get out of here. [and sleep?? sleep. imagine sleeping as opposed to stewing over kisses and cheeky laughs and smirking faces. damn.]
Yes, let's go...[Kazuma's just as reluctant to let him go fully, even though he's the one to have suggested it.
Sleep isn't even on his mind. Rest and sleep are completely different things right now, and one of them is not going to come easily with thoughts of tonight and the potential for tomorrow on his mind.

Pity the walk to the Lamp was a short one.]
