[ He beams a little at her curiosity - he did manage to come up with an idea, and he's pretty confident in it. He tries not to show any visible reaction at her assumption, not wanting to give her any kind of hint as to what he's thinking. ]
That would make sense, sure.
[ He uses his free hand to gesture to himself, offering a half-shrug. ]
You going to search me for it?
[ If he were a touch quicker on the draw he might realize that doesn't exactly sound super appropriate ]
I mean, no, no she won't. Luckily, as inappropriate as that MIGHT sound to someone who a touch more perverted, she's not in the right frame of mind to have her thoughts head in that direction. Not with them going back and forth about how much they like each other.
He's not giving her any hints to think in that direction anyway. Her finger pokes into his side. Search him, huh? ]
You have the right to remain silent. [ She says, in an authoritative tone. Then, grins a little. ]
Just kidding.
YES DEFINITELY MAYBE it could happen it's not.... impossible.......
The blank look on Asuna's face from his squeak/squeal (cute...) suddenly has her eyes narrowing slightly -- a light in her eyes that's completely different from the expectant and excited gleam he saw just prior.
The hand not being held by him moves behind her back, trying to look somewhat innocent. ]
I don't think that counts.
[ ... It's too tempting. A moment later she sneakily pokes him in the side again with a small laugh.
[ He jerks away from that poke, probably inadvertently tugging on her arm in the process - as much as he wants to escape her relentless assault (???) he still wants to hold her hand, so it's kind of a catch-22. ]
Well, let's see how you like it!
[ From a battle of words to a battle of pokes - he tries to return fire, trying to poke her in the stomach. Granted, he has no idea if she's ticklish at all, but he has to try, right?
[ Despite being tugged, she's chuckling and holding onto him. Her laughter is a bit louder now with her shoulders shaking. Ah, it's fun acting like a kid every now and then. She only really does it in front of Jaune, though. In front of everyone else, she's the cool and collected Asuna Yuuki.
Not this Asuna, playful and DEFINITELY squeaking now too with his return pokes. ]
No!
[ It's more of a laugh than a protest, body twisting away from him to hide her stomach. His hand isn't released either. THIS must be the reason she couldn't resist, because Asuna is just as ticklish as Jaune is. ]
I don't like it! I'm sorry![ But she's laughing... ]
He's grinning wide as she tries to avoid his touch - if she enjoys indulging her inner child then she's with the right guy (though sleeping in feetie pajamas might be a bit much, but that's a bridge to be crossed later and also a hill he will die on, they're comfy okay). ]
Oh, sorry, I couldn't hear you! Can you say that a bit more clearly?
[ Poke poke poke, you would think he'd be merciful since he knows what it's like to be ticklish but... well, she did start it. ]
[ Between gasps of air and bursts of laughter, she repeats herself. He's much more merciless than she had been but it's true, she deserves it for starting it.
For so long, Asuna always tried her best to be a certain way. A perfect student, a daughter her mother could be proud of, a dependable and responsible friend, and a strong hero. All of that crumbles in front of her, but she doesn't mind. The replacement is a young girl who's actually having fun, playing around with her boyfriend as they avoid parting ways. ]
Jaune! I don't like it!
[ Stop laughing and maybe he'll BELIEVE YOU, ASUNA. ]
if she ever tells him that he's going to marry her
[ Jaune had thought, for a long time, that he had to be a certain way. More manly, more macho, with his chest puffed out and a swagger in his step. He came from a lineage of men who had that sort of demeanor, and always thought he needed to live up to that reputation.
But Asuna liked this side of him. Someone more sensitive, who wasn't afraid to be goofy and would rather laugh his heart out than try and look cool. Someone who was learning that he didn't have to live up to anyone's expectations but his own. ]
Well...
[ He lifts a hand as if he may go for it again - but instead he takes her wrist in his other hand, offering her a chance to catch her breath as he smiles. ]
There. Now neither of us can keep up the battle. It's a ceasefire.
[ She's learning that, too. It's okay not to be perfect, it's okay to have faults. It's okay to let her guard down sometimes, it's okay to trust and open her heart to others. It's okay to laugh and cry and hurt.
When she first met Jaune, he did seem like he was trying very hard to be a certain way. Something she could understand so deeply. Too deeply. Whereas Asuna seemed nearly infallible when it came to the image she wanted to portray, Jaune wasn't as successful. She was drawn to this person he was deep down that no machismo or expected masculinity could hope to hide.
The sensitive and goofy person she wished was more easy for her to be, like it was natural for him.
But this? This is enough for now. At least she can be sensitive and silly with this one person.
Her hand nearly tries to smack his away, but he does something unexpected again. Coupled with the easy smile on his face, she glances at his hand. The other one is still laced together, neither of them willing to let go. Like he had done, she turns her wrist and works her fingers between his. ]
Truce. [ She agrees, still a little breathless. ] Even if you did it much more than I did. But... I didn't squeak as loud as you did either, so it's fair.
[ LET HIM CHEW ON THAT while she tugs him down a path towards the center of a park. There's a wooden bench that would be fine to sit in, but she's not going there. She's taking them to the empty swing set. ]
[ ... Well it's not a lie, exactly. Dude can be loud. It just isn't always something that works out in his favor, kind of like now! Oops.
But she agreed to the truce, so it would be a pretty dirty move to try and free his hand to go at it again. Besides, he can take a little good-natured teasing! He certainly had his fair share of less-than-good-natured teasing at the hands of bullies and the like. Jaune is no stranger to the inside of a locker.
He eyes the bench curiously as they pass it, but once his eyes settle on the swings he seems to light up again. His inner child is getting a lot of exercise today, it seems! ]
Man, I don't even remember the last time I was on the swings! It feels like forever ago!
[ He SURE DOES. She doesn't do much but smile in response to his retort. Unfortunately, there's no way to see it with how she's leading them along. A little more pep in her step. He should probably tease her back though... she does it because his reactions are worth it.
He's ticklish! Of all things. If she hadn't teased him she would have NEVER known that. Or she would have found out later.
And if she hadn't decided to take them to the park, she wouldn't see how excited he would be at the prospect of swings. Asuna has to pause again, letting that sink in, more endeared than a millisecond ago. ]
Me either. [ A sheepish smile, if not idle smile. ] The park is just down the street from my house, but it's lonely coming here by myself. [ Sometimes she does anyway. Sh. ]
You've been here before? Without inviting me? I'm hurt.
[ His tone carries a pout to it, but one so overly dramatic that it's obvious he's not anywhere near remotely serious. What matters is they're here now and they're going to use the swings and he feels like he's seven again and everything is great.
It's hard to do so but he finally, reluctantly, lets go of her hands so he can take his place behind the swing, gesturing to it with a flourish and a bow. ]
Your chariot awaits, milady.
[ ... he's not wearing a fedora so it's okay for him to say milady right ]
[ Thing is, it works. It's dramatic and full of theatrics and suddenly she's not thinking about how lonely she was, growing up. Now she's thinking about coming here more often with someone. With Jaune.
It's a nice thought. ]
It was before I knew you. [ She spins to face him. ] Okay then! I'll invite you to come with me when I want to visit here from now on.
[ Look at her stupidly innocent smile. Protect this heart of hers.
Asuna, too, misses the warmth and contentment that came from holding hands. Swings are a good distraction, at least. Exasperated, but definitely amused because she's playing along, she gives Jaune a small curtsy.
PLAYING ALONG. It's fun, okay. It's BEEN fun. ]
Ah yes, thank you, kind sir.
[ As gracefully as possible, she sits down in her "chariot" and grips the chains at her sides. Then, she tilts her head back to look at him upside down. ]
[ He's... stupidly excited at the idea of coming here to the park with her again in the future. He has a girlfriend who wants to go to the playground! With him! How is that not the coolest thing ever?!
... Cool might be a matter of perspective, but if he's happy and she's happy then there's nothing cooler in his book.
He straightens up as she takes her seat on the swing, stepping properly into place behind her to rest his hands flat against her back. At her offer he grins, teasing once again. ]
Oh, you better.
[ And with that he gives her a push, not too hard right off the bat - he's not trying to launch her like a catapult, just getting the momentum started. ]
i'm shipping this and i blame you, these pure af dumbasses
[ The next sound to leave Asuna's mouth is a delighted cry. Wind blows through her chestnut hair as she lurches forward, her cry tapering off to pleased giggles as she starts to swing back towards him.
Ah, she does feel like a child again. Like she's seven, too. When her grandparents were still alive. There were no swings around her their cottage but it was just as fun to be lifted by the both of them and swung between their bodies as they walked to a nearby shop.
[ This? This is the life. Not stressing out over not being one of the popular kids, or trying to live up to unrealistic expectations (self-imposed, mind you - his parents never pushed him too hard, really), just... laughing and loving life. That's what it's all about, isn't it?
He catches her as she swings back towards him, giving her another push, and the joy in her voice makes his heart swell. ]
Think you can handle going a little higher?
[ Hope so - he's already making the next push a harder one, intent on sending her even higher into the air. ]
... Can she? She has a small fear of heights, but she doesn't think he can swing her high enough for it to really scare her. Before she can decide, or even give him an answer, there she goes.
There she goes again. ]
Wah!
[ She's nearly parallel with the ground on this one and she has to lean forward so she doesn't topple backwards. It's pretty high, actually.
But she doesn't really find herself scared. Her heart is racing, sure, but she's not scared. Why? Is it because Jaune is right behind her, pushing her along? There's no need to be scared. But with height comes, ]
[ It gives him life to hear her so exhilarated, watching as she soars to just about the safest height the swing will allow. He might not be the strongest but he does have some muscle, so it's not too hard to get her that high up in the air.
He perks up a bit at her declaration. ]
Really? Hold on, take another look!
[ And so when she swings on by he'll make sure to give her another push...! ]
[ JAUNE?!?! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL YOUR NEW GIRLFRIEND
The name of this meme is Heart Pounding and Blood Pumping for a reason. Not for any that someone might expect, though. The reason Asuna's heart goes leaping into her throat is because she is going too high and might do a 360 over the top bar. ]
Gh!
[ Before she can, she launches herself off the swing to land some twenty feet away. It would have been kind of cool, but this isn't an MMORPG. Her Acrobatic stat is pretty low IRL. So her ankles really hurt from trying to stick the landing and she goes stumbling, tripping onto her own feet and landing on her knees.
SO GRACEFUL. She's going to stay there, staring at the floor, trying to steady her heart. ]
Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh oh my gosh ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh--
[ --is his mantra as he abandons the now-empty swing to hurry over to where Asuna has, for better or worse, made her landing. Either oblivious to her visible fury or just too worried to pay it any mind he kneels down to her level, trying to get a look at her legs to see if she's hurt. ]
A-are you okay? I'm sorry, I didn't mean-- it was an accident, I just wanted you to-- seriously, are you okay?!
[ He seems properly apologetic, at least. Some of the heat in her eyes fades, but the warmth in her cheeks lingers. One of them is puffed out at him while she swallows the sharp scolding she had been ready to unleash at him.
Don't push people so hard, BAKA!!!
She should probably stand up, but she moves to sit on her hip with a sigh. ]
Yes, I'm fine. [ There's a few splinters in her palms from collapsing on her hands and knees. The soft wood chips around the swing set didn't spare her. She peers at them. ]
These will take ages to get out. [ Her fingernails already try plucking at one. How will she push him like this?? ]
[ To say he feels bad is the understatement of the century. This was the one thing that was really, truly going right. They had been laughing, holding hands, being just... happy in each other's company. It had been perfect.
And he'd screwed it up.
What else is new.
His shoulders sag a bit, but he tries not to lose focus on the situation at hand. He reaches out, trying to hold one of her wrists, if she'll let him. ]
Let me help, I've, um. I've had some experience with this kind of thing.
[ He used to get bullied a lot on the playground. Now he just gets bullied everywhere else! ]

When she pokes his side.
Or maybe squeals would be more accurate, but either way he immediately squirms at the contact. ]
H-hey, I'm ticklish! Don't! That's police brutality!

Oh no.
