[video] what a happy nerd

[carbungle]

[The video opens with the camera up close to Noctis, where he's trying very hard to look serious while fighting off what can only be considered giddiness.]

Hey, question for Havenwell at large... I'm pretty disappointed right now.

[He turns the camera, revealing a little lake, sparkling blue-green in colour and surrounded by lush foliage. There's a soft splash just off the shore, and Noctis utters a muffled, "there you are!" fumbling with the communicator for a moment until a lure goes flying towards it, attached to a fishing line.

When the camera returns to Noctis, he is grinning like an absolute fool, holding his fishing rod.]

Why did no one tell me about this place? Or am I the first? I hope I'm the first. Can I name it? [His voice lowers, conspiratorial.] There's fish here.

[The video cuts off, but included in his message are the coordinates to what one might assume is the pond in question, where Noct can be found fishing all. Day. Long. There's a blue chocobo curled up on a nearby rock, waiting patiently for him to finish as she's done dozens of times before.]

[The wiggle makes him squirm a bit in turn, his hands lowering to her hips. They're in public, so it's not like he can do much, but he can tease in return a bit.]

I can't help it, when I see fish wrapped in seaweed I just wanna take a bite.

[ What a shame they're in public, she can think to herself, but she knows how he is, and she doesn't want to do more than what he's comfortable with.

So, her hands move once more from their respective positions to settle upon his chest, warm as always, and feeling the soft fabric of his shirt. His hands upon her hips keep their bodies close, and she's not protesting there. She feels light in his arms, and... happy, too. Teasing can be fun in of itself, silly but with warmth and attraction, the kind that makes her cheeks flush a tender pink when he says he wants to take a bite. ]

This fisherman is getting a little too ahead of himself. [ One of her hands upon her chest lifts up to his jaw, and a finger delicately crooks beneath his chin. ] You don't want to unwrap me first?

[carbungle]

[He gives a musing hmmm at that, closing his eyes for a moment and just quietly feeling her warmth. He's gotten to fish for a while now… he's had a great day. And here she is, cozy and warm in his arms despite her little dip in the lake. He's got a bucket of weird fish already, and he can certainly come back. Meanwhile, the blush on her cheeks is so cute.

Maybe he is getting ahead of himself, but he can read the room, so to speak. He knows what he's doing. He dips his head a bit to kiss the tip of her finger, then leans in close to her ear, voice lowering conspiratorially.]

I should probably do that kind of unwrapping at home.
