fortune favors the bold (except when it doesn't)

He giggles and hugs her again, then turns her face up toward his and kisses her blushing cheek.

She makes a small pleased squeak.

He gets the most delighted look on his face. "You're so cute!"

"Thank you."

He hugs her some more, then says, "C'mon, let's go sit down."

The bed is kind of the only place to sit around here.

"Mmkay," she says shyly.

He leads her to the bed and sits on it, scooting into the middle so he can lean back against the wall and stretch his legs out over the blankets. Then he holds out a beckoning hand in her direction.

She flushes even deeper and scoots onto the bed and between his legs.

This seems like the right occasion for another hug. But this time with her in his lap. A cuddly lap-hug.

Ooh yes good. She snuggles in.

in-my-hands

So cozy! He hugs her and pets her hair.

She nuzzles into his hand, then stills and reaches up and pulls out her hairsticks and shakes her hair out.

Even more pettable! Excellent. She will be so petted.

Mm yes good. She gamely attempts to snuggle his hand with her head.

"Cuuuuuute," he says, tucking his other arm around her waist and giving her an affectionate squeeze while he continues to pet her.

...She giggles and ducks her head. "You really think so?"

in-my-hands

"You're adorable," he assures her, very sincerely.

She does not seem to know what to do with this! Besides looking sort of flusteredly bewilderedly pleased.

And be snuggled and petted. She is also very much being snuggled and petted.

Being snuggled and petted is extremely good and important.

in-my-hands

It is.

Snuggled and petted and perhaps, if she would like, kissed?

This will result in more startled squeaking, but yes she would like.

in-my-hands

Her squeaking is so good!!! What a good huggable kissable pettable lapful of snuggle she is!

She blushes a little more when he beams at her.
