[Oh, these pajamas...?! They're... incredibly silly, but that's not going to stop Kaeya from taking his pair and sizing it up. He's worn worse, and these do look rather comfy even if they're quite the eye sore.]
It does match with the theme, doesn't it? Alright.
[Wave's seen him partially to fully naked many times, so Kaeya has no problem stripping down in front of her and pulling on those pajamas. Wow, he looks. Stupid. Who could've guessed?]
Well? Please don't hold your applause. I know I look dashing.
[They're so silly, so tacky, and she honestly loves them for those exact reasons. They're hilariously awful, and lords, his hair alongside the bright orange and sorry, Kaeya, she's laughing, even though she's also applauding him.]
The highest of fashion. They should be putting you on the covers of those magazines in the lounge.
[She'll similarly change into her own set of pjs, just as unconcerned with her modesty in front of him, before coming over to him and hooking an arm around his waist.]
So what's going on? Just wanted to hang out? [Or... how u doin' sir, it's been an emotional few days.]
[It's absolutely been a tire fire of a week, but damn, Wave. You're just gonna make him unload like that, huh??
Returning the gesture, he holds Wave about the waist before picking her up and hauling her into bed with him. Hers is comfier than most, but only when she's in it with him.]
Oh, Wave... Always so quick to get to the heart of the matter. As you might suspect, I've been feeling a bit under the weather.
[To be fair, when does she not cut to the heart of a matter when it's something that needs discussing? But he gets another laugh as he lifts her, and once they've made it to the bed Wave won't hesitate to curl up close with him.]
If you don't want me to ask, you should've distracted me first.
But yes, I'd guessed as much when I saw your new cape. It looks cozy.
Ask me to distract you and you'll be too tongue-tied to speak.
[And besides, when so many of their attempts to simply talk end with them giving into temptation, they both have to make an effort to rein it in.]
Rene gave me this lovely little cape. My favorite flowers alone weren't enough, so he spoiled me with this. Feel it.
[Kaeya pulls it up around them, and what Wave might immediately notice is how comforting it is to lie beneath it. Worrying is a difficult task with this blanket around.]
Since when have I ever complained about that? [Though it is true.] Besides, nobody said it had to be with a kiss. I should tell you some time about the Great Ghost-Pumpkin War. It's been an ongoing joke since our first day here.
[--oh. Oh, that blanket is nice. She wasn't expecting the sudden sense of comfort it provides, and even though she's already pretty relaxed, it almost feels like she could melt into the bed if she tried hard enough.]
Oh, that's nice. He really picked out some great gifts for you, didn't he?
[Turning on his side, he leaves his hand draped on Wave's abdomen, somewhat protective. It'd be all too easy to fall asleep like this, comforted beneath a cozy blanket and with good company, but he did come here to chat with Wave. They can doze off in their silly pajamas later.]
He sure did. I'm quite glad I not only put him in my top four, but landed a date with him as well. [She should know what this is leading into, and Kaeya grins. These week's tasks are perfect for his nosy ass.] Speaking of, why don't we discuss those? I'd love to know who your choices were these last two weeks.
I should've known that's what all this was about. Nosy. [But it's fond, laughter in her voice. Like she cares, he can be as nosy as he wants.] I picked you, Sylvain, Crow, and Gentaro the first week, and Justy, Rene, Zola, and Heath last week.
[And then, with a nudge--] This had better be mutual. I want to know who you picked, too.
Seems we've both guessed wrong. [He drums his fingers idly on Wave's stomach.] In truth, I didn't have to pick unique contenders every week. I was allowed one repeat if I so desired. That makes me the Witch.
[Oh, catch that look sent his way, a careful, scrutinizing look. You said your role wouldn't allow you to put Fai on your list a second time, sir, SHE'S CAUGHT THAT LIE... but it's only there for a moment before it clears, and Wave shrugs, stretching her legs down to see if she can poke his toes with hers.]
And are you planning on repeating anybody this week? Or are you going for a clean slate again?
[Shh, just leave it go, let it happen... Kaeya wasn't lying when he said he was a liar. He returns that little poke, grinning.]
I might be. [Ooh, ~mysterious~!] I wouldn't mind going on a date with you in an official capacity, but I'm afraid I've yet to be rejected. You won't score any points from me.
[Yeah, yeah, she'll let him get away with it, the punk... it's a lie that doesn't really matter in the end, so outside of making it clear that she noticed, she's content to let it go. She doesn't mind a liar.]
Hmm, and what makes you think I care about that? [She shifts onto her side to face him, returning his grin as she nudges him again.] If I'd cared that much, I would've rejected you the first week. I would've gotten four hearts if I hadn't matched with anyone.
[But she'd made the conscious decision to take the loss. Sometimes other things are more important.]
Besides, I only have to match two people to max out for the week. I can afford to put someone down because I want to.
Oho... So you admit you picked me because you fancy me? You're going to make me blush.
[But the same is true on his end, so he really can't rib her too hard. Besides, he knows she'll call him out for it if he does. Fishing for her hand beneath the blanket, Kaeya gives it a squeeze.]
Regardless, I do intend to put you in my top four this week. I would much rather focus on those I have an active interest in than score points in this fun little game.
[It's not like he has a wish to fulfill, truly. He's just here to enjoy all the free booze, the wonderful pool and the occasional carnal delight.* (*more than occasional, dont @ him)]
[He'll have his fingers crossed, but he knows how these things go. Should they not end up on a date together, Kaeya will allow it so long as whomever Wave does end up with spoils her just as much as she deserves to be.]
I suppose that would be one way of doing it, but there are easier methods. That said, I'm not telling you them.
[Figure 'em out yourself, ma'am! Blushing is embarrassing, so kaeya would rather avoid it if at all possible.]
You know, Miss Wave, not every challenge is one you should feel the need to rise to. Aren't there better uses of your time than trying to make me pull weird faces?
[He'd rather see her blush, loosing their hands to wriggle his fingers against her ribs. Tickle tickle~]
Anyway, before he hits her with those tickles, Wave's making a face, wrinkling her nose.]
I like seeing you make-- [But whoops, that's when his fingers brush up against her ribs, and Wave instinctively arches away with a squeal, hands coming up to try and stop him.]
[She's definitely going to try to fight him off between trying to squirm away and catch his hands in hers, laughing uncontrollably, but if he's going to fight dirty she's not afraid to fight back--
Better watch out, Kaeya! All at once she dives forward, trying to yank up the bottom hem of that pj shirt to plant a raspberry on any bared skin she can reach. Take that!!]
[She's craftier than she looks! He'd like to claim he threw her a bone here, but it's Wave's own tenacity that bares his stomach and gives her the perfect canvas upon which to blow her raspberry. Kaeya is painfully ticklish, barely stifling laughter, so she'd better hang the fuck on if she doesn't want to get bucked right off.]
[Kaeya narrowly avoids screaming, ineffectually twisting and turning while his eyes bead up with tears. His cheeks are turning red too, of course, as are the tips of his ears, not that he's realized it.]
I refuse- to surrender—!
[LET HIM LIVE?? In his pettiest move yet, he throws a hand back to smack Wave flat on the ass. Retribution!]

Week one, it was you, Apollo, Fai, and Justy. Last week was Rene, naturally, along with Edward, Nuriko, and Gentaro.

Then it's a match. And hopefully, a date.
[But who knows--there's no telling how everything will shake out.]

Really? I'll have to see if I can figure it out, then. You don't blush as easily as some people I know.
[Which is a shame, because it's cute, even if she'd absolutely tease him about it.]
