[ume is an old baby and honestly almost nothing bothers her. so when tetsu cradles her like a baby she just takes it like a champ. excuse her while she falls back asleep.
hitoshi stands up and holds out her hands for her cat back.]
[he leans in, almost as if he's about to hand back the cat. instead, he ducks his head lower and goes in for a quick kiss on her lips. he lingers for like a half second before pulling away. then, almost as smoothly as tetsu's kiss does he say;]
that stuns her enough that anything she was planning on saying dies quickly. her face almost immediately turns red all the way to to tips of her ears as she realizes what just happened-]
U-Ume is sleeping. [she winces at her voice stumbling like that, but a stupid kiss isn't going to make her rename her cat.]
[he smirks, almost like he knew she would get flustered. tetsutetsu presses the advantage and leans back into her face. he is being the most gentle of metal husbands while holding her cat.]
[to her credit hitoshi doesn't step back, but her face does turn a brighter red. arguing about her cat's name is all good and fun, but something else is on her mind now.
she hesitates, searching his face before she quietly speaks again.]
[now it's his turn to blush, and he kinda jerks away. he hadn't really thought why he'd kissed her. his one track mind kind of muddled everything together when he'd kissed her and so he stammers for an explanation.]
I- [he frowns, being shy about his answer.] uh.... Y'know? Cause of stuff. And things?
[he looks away because he is really embarrassed. god why can't he just become steel and not have to deal with this. oh wait... he can but... that isn't going to solve anything!]
[that seems to take the steam out of her (again). ume, sensing the bed will probably be in use later, zips off to finish her nap underneath the bed instead.]
You... you think I'm cute? [hitoshi glances away, chewing her lower lip for a moment before-] ... You're... cute too.
[that is possibly the nicest compliment a girl has ever given to him to his face. it's so nice that he decides to seal the moment with another kiss. this time he's not pulling away. in fact, he kinda just pulls hitoshi closer to him for a deeper kiss.]
[her hands almost immediately go up and grab at his hair as she tries to keep her hands from shaking. even with him bending down hitoshi finds herself still forced to push herself up on the tips of her toes just to be able to return the kiss in full.
she's never really kissed anyone like this before, and while she knows she's probably not the best at it this still felt... really nice.
when they finally do break for air she lets one of her hands fall to his shoulder, leaning against his chest with all the confidence that he can hold her weight.]
Not bad, Einstein. [she says teasingly, her voice just a little shaky and a small smile that she can't seem to wipe from her face.]

Fine. Start naming, then. [she sits on the edge of the bed and crosses her arms again.]
no subject
I could go on and on!

[also don't fucking rename her cat???]
Ume is the best name and so is Tuna and that is final.

She is not! Her name is Ume, Einstein. [that's his new name now until he stops being stupid.]
Get your own cat and name it Johnny Cage.
no subject
[he boops the snoot, and tries to hold Ume like a baby. Tetsu is a good boy?? surprisingly??? who knew???]

Why did you kiss me?

but that weird fluttery feeling in her chest turns heavy pretty quickly as she frowns.]

[because she feels like this is a joke being played on her exclusively. why else would someone kiss her- why would he kiss her?]
I'm not some- easy target for you, so if that's what you think of me then you can leave right now!
