[. . . that's so cute. but also--]

You might fall into the water?

[WILL NO]

[makeine]

[ she likes him. it's terribly sad, but even at this point, she does. ]

You'd let me? How mean, Will-kun.

[willandaway]

[AFFRONTED]

I wouldn't--!

[makeine]

[ that earns him her giggles and she shoves at him with her shoulder gently. ]

I know! I'm just teasing.

[ why else would she feel okay enough to sleep on him next to the pool... gosh. ]

You're a good guy. You'd fall first.

[willandaway]

[rocks to the side, then rebounds back towards her, bumping her shoulder in return]

I'd fall. . . or you'd push me?

[ANOTHER TEASE]

[makeine]

[ oh... there she goes, rocking and then coincidentally bumping him back!!!!!!

... and lingering in her press this time. ]

Don't worry, I'd be right in after you.

[ okay. she'll get up after that, shivering at the chilly wind as she goes to grab her towel and wipe at her legs. ]

Am I walking you or are you walking me?

[willandaway]

I'll walk you.

[Will stands as well, grasping at the strap of his bag as he waits for her to dry off]

[makeine]

Gonna kiss me at the door too?

[ she's teasing please don't ta

i know he's gonna take it seriously but please don't take her tease seriously. there we go. she'll fold the towel over her arm. ]

[willandaway]

[ANNA YOU JUST]

[KEEP DOING THIS TO YOURSELF]

[YOU JUST!! KEEP DOING THIS!!! TO YOURSELF!!!]

Hm. . . yes. I think so.

[and he starts making his way towards the door!]

[makeine]

[ she






does in fact keep doing this to herself, and she stands there watching after him a moment before looking back at the pool in deep consideration. ]

I was just joking, Will-kun... you don't really need to do that.

[ maybe that's enough... as she... slowly makes her way after... ]

[willandaway]

[it's not. I'm sorry]

It's okay. We've already-- [well, she knows. their time in the embrace space!!]

. . . and I'd like to, if that's-- okay?

[makeine]

[ he'd



like to? she pauses, then shuffles forward again. he wants to? this is bad for her heart. she hopes not a single light goes up tomorrow. haha. ]

Oh, yeah. Of course it's okay. You can, I mean. If you wanna. I don't have any complaints.

[willandaway]

[and unfortunately for Anna, the walk to the back door is fairly short! and once they reach it, he slows to a stop, turning to face her fully]

. . . good night then, Anna.

[and]

[don't mind him as he reaches out to slide his fingers underneath her chin, tilting her head up slightly so he can lean in for a very innocent, very chaste kiss]

[makeine]

[ oh

my god

she's going to be thinking about this all night. innocent and chaste as it is, her freer hand finds his wrist as she returns it softly, lingering a moment with her eyes closed before she leans back. her cheeks are forever warm. ]

...You too, Will-kun. Sweet dreams.

[willandaway]

[and. . . that's it, isn't it? that's the end of this little ritual. it feels so strangely abrupt, and for a moment, he wonders if he should say something else]

[but there isn't anything else to say, is there?]

[so with a nod, Will draws back fully, grasping at the strap of his bag and adjusting it over his shoulders. and just like that. . .! he turns around to head back to camp]
