ALSO !! smooch for niko mayhaps?

first five get a lil smooch | @metrictita gets smooched by chiyo!

oh, this is weird. this is weird and uncomfortable, and chiyo absolutely hates it. she's always understood the concept of jealousy, but she's never felt it herself, never had a reason to. she's always assumed she simply isn't the type. apparently that isn't the case, though, because she can't stand the way the bartender keeps glancing over at niko.

she also can't stand that she feels this way when she doesn't have a right to. niko is her friend; no matter how she might feel for him, that's all they are to each other. chiyo tries to keep that in mind, keep her mood in check and her impulses suppressed. and anyway, his eyes are on her, aren't they? his smile and teasing are all for her, aren't they? what does she have to be jealous about?

the free drink gifted to niko further into the night makes it a lot harder to keep a level head. the beaming grin and phone number hastily scrawled upon a napkin -- oh, it makes her stomach churn, gaze falling to the counter. chiyo doesn't look at niko again until the bartender waltzes away with a skip in their step, and she's frowning when she meets his eyes. she hates this feeling, hates the fact that she can't do anything about it.

well, she can't do much.

it's her wretched heart that moves her hand, has her burying gentle fingers into raven strands and resting her palm at the base of niko's skull. chiyo hesitates then, heart pounding as her brain catches up. what the hell is she doing? she's being ridiculous.

but it's more suspicious if she stops now. at least, that's what chiyo tells herself as she pulls niko closer until his face is mere centimeters away. " y'know, i should've done this earlier. would've saved myself a little grief, " the brunette murmurs, glancing down at niko's lips and leaning forward... to kiss the tip of his nose, his cheek ( and how she grins, knowing she's surprised him; how she internally panics, fearing that her acting might not fool him anymore ).

chiyo leans back and releases niko, fixes his hair a little as she casually complains. " they've been hoverin' all night! and it's kinda rude to give you their number when you're here with somebody. they don't know what we are to each other! "
