[Even if it's not the sort of thing he's had to deal with personally in recent memory, it's not like she doubts him... The prospect of trying to keep this from Jade for over a week, though... She groans.]
Ugh... Well...I'll come up with something. It's not like he needs to see our faces every day, or anything...
[...She appreciates that he'd offer to do something like that, but... No, she doesn't want to pretend they had a fight. It would make her seem pretty immature! Plus...there are other reasons. Faking an aspect of their relationship doesn't sit well.]
My roommate's gone again. [Which might've been sad if Yakko hadn't been so annoying. Yeah, she's not actually sorry to see that one go.] So it's not like there's any reason for us not to hang out in my cabin instead of yours.
[They could never dare to make out in here with a menace like Yakko around. Now? The room's finally all hers--theirs, even. She glances down at his hand, can't help herself from leaning towards him even as she speaks up-]
Well...Clarke said I should put ice on it...
[It's just that Natsuno has a way of becoming her priority.]
[But she can't say she feels in any kind of hurry to check, not when Natsuno makes such a loving gesture--even at a time like this, when she has gauze stuffed up her nose. He really is the sweetest...
And so, you know, she just can't help but reach up lace fingers with that hand he used to brush her hair back, locking eyes with him at the same time.]
[Gauze up a bruised nose or not, her eyes are beautiful and he could stare her eyes forever. Without breaking eye contact, he brings their joint hands to his lips.]
Hmm... [He hums into Rita's knuckles, kisses her palm, the inside of her wrist. She likes when he's being smooth, right?] I don't know about lately...
[Natsuno draws closer to nibble on an earlobe and all but whisper:]

[It's going to look weird if Rita doesn't hang out in 109 like she used to, but Natsuno keeps his promises.]
We can pretend we had a fight and you're too angry to come out, or something.
[He doesn't like the idea, but he'll do that for her!!]

[Nope, he isn't sorry about that one either. Rita's roommates never seem to last for too long - she must as well have the cabin to herself!]
It'll be nice to have somewhere to hang out without worrying about weirdos walking it.
[He rests a hand on her knee. Obviously they're not gonna make out right now with Rita still in pain and all, but... you know!]

I bet there's some in the mini-fridge...
[The hand on her knee slides up toward her waist. The other brushes a lock of hair behind he ear. What are they talking about again?]

...Have I mentioned how great you are lately?
[Because he really should hear it frequently.]

[Natsuno draws closer to nibble on an earlobe and all but whisper:]
Tell me again?
no subject
[Nevermind that "lately" meant they were separated, with Natsuno trapped in the labyrinth illusion while she waited in the lobby.
She shivers in delight, squeezing his hand and nuzzling the side of his face, and in a stuffy, nasally, almost-whisper of her own:]
You're...a good boy. The best boy.
