[Nico was horribly aggressive when it came to getting what she wanted. She'd do whatever means necessary to achieve a victory that satisfied her. Though whenever he decided to act all charming like that... Well, even that had caught her off guard. Her brattiness quickly shifts into hesitant awkwardness. She couldn't help and feel a bit red in the cheeks too. This was supposed to go the opposite way, damn it!

That's when it fully registers that it would be the first time that she's ever gotten this close to be a boy. Well, asides her little brother... But this was a completely different case. Okay, she could do this. There was no backing down if he was taking this seriously as herself!]

O-Of course not! I'm sure that you're totally happy to have Nico-ni all to yourself, riiiight?

[Stalling? Who's stalling? Totally not her! So Nico will gingerly approach and take his hand to sit in his pat like some kind of flustered kitty. First step complete!]

Hm hm... When I'm up this close, I can hear your heart pounding like crazy. It's kinda cute. [... That's her own heart, by the way.]
