[Runs a hand through her hair, still staring hard at the floor. A slightly shaky breath.] Then it's... fine. Hah. I'll... ah... I'll make out with you.
[Her tone goes vaguely hysteric there, a laugh beneath the words that says "I can't believe this is what that term means".]
I know. [But since is that anything new? For some people (her), simply being in the DR is forcing them to do something they don't want. She tries for a wry smile, in the off chance he's looking her way.] But at least this time I'm choosing to ask to kiss you, right?
...yeah. [She runs a hand through her hair again, makes as if to move or stand, and then settles back against the wall with a sigh.] Let's wait a bit longer, then.
[It probably won't do much, if anything. But Allen clearly doesn't want to put her into such a position, so she won't try and make him. If they're stuck in here much longer, though, she thinks she might have to either break something or kiss him herself. She hates feeling trapped like this.]
[The anxiousness just makes it worse, he puts his hands over his ears to attempt to block the noise but really it never helps. Slowly he shifts his position next to hers and takes Lenalee's hand once more, giving it another squeeze.]
[Squeezes back with a soft, 'god, we're really hopeless, aren't we?' kind of half-laugh. He might notice her palm is slightly sweaty, what with the butterflies swelling up in her chest and all.]
If- if it helps, I thought it was nice when we kissed- before...
[If he notices - which he usually does - Allen doesn't say anything. Doesn't ever want to make her more uncomfortable than she is already. He smiles weakly and laughs just the same.]
[-Er. Well. Something like that is actually a pretty good way to manage just that. Suddenly, whirlwind of insecurities! She knows she isn't at all the sort of person to be well-versed in the art of romancing, but is she really that inexperienced that someone rusty at kissing had been able to kiss her all the way into bed? The cupcake had a lot to do with that, but still...! Ducking her head away from him and staring, somewhat ashamed, at the wall.]
N-No, it was... [swallows, suddenly very acutely remembering what it'd felt like to be pressed against the wall while he'd kissed her] ...nevermind.
[HERPDERP. He said something he shouldn't have. Or something he thought would have helped but...didn't. Allen quickly shifts to lean his head against hers, speaking softly.] Inexperienced or not. Rusty or not. It was nice kissing you, Lenalee.
A-and while I don't mind doing it again, would like to... Forcing you to in order to get out of here... It just feels ungentlemanly.

[He can hear the fidgets, the winding, the thinking, the jovial tone that sounds so forced. And he blushes yet again.]
I-I promised that I wouldn't again.

W-we don't have to, Lenalee. I'm sure they'll let us out eventually!

It's still forcing us to do something we don't want. [Okay, so maybe he wants it a little bit but he won't ever, ever tell Lenalee that.]

I thought I was getting rusty to be honest...
