Re: bards quicklog: marvel apartment Ughhhhh... [A long groan that came out of Jules when he pulled her closer to attempt to comfort her. No, no. He was comforting himself. Jules knew that she was just messing with him. More often than not she was guilty of overinflating his ego. Not because she was lying. She honestly did believe in him that much. And while sometimes she said harsh things to encourage him to try harder or fight for what he wanted, this was not one of those times. This was because sometimes when the balloon got too full it was more fun to untie the knot and let it deflate while it sputters loudly and zooms around the room with no direction. But she went too far this time. He sounded like she had straight up popped his balloon.
Had he made any sort of fuss, she would have left the game going for a few minutes. With him hugging her like this, she simply couldn't. He wasn't supposed to make her feel bad about it! It was just a joke. Still, they could stay wrapped up this way for a little while longer. After all their training together, all of their shows, being pressed up against him felt more like home than almost anything. She leaned into him, her arms pulling him closer so she could tilt her head towards his ear.] Don't kill me. [It was a soft whisper, and it came after a sharp breath to gain her courage. Her hands slowly moved over his sides, inching up into a place between them. It wasn't a hug anymore. She was preparing.] Buttonmasherswantsusuptherefortheshowtonightsoweneedtohavelefttwentyminutesago. [Yeah, because if she said it as one word, maybe it would sound magical. It didn't.]
