[...reluctant video / action]

[loyalraven]

[So at this point in time, Gilbert has realized that expecting anyone to recognize him by voice while he's much younger than he should be isn't going to happen. And well, even with the additional video, well, that helps a little. So he's eying the video feed warily. Housemates and guests? He's in the kitchen at the table, a forgotten cup of tea

[Yeah, Naoki walked by the kitchen just in time to witness this (he'd been feeding the fish~) and blink blinks a couple of times. Then walks inside and over to peer down at him.]

...are you okay?

[Action]

[loyalraven]

[Gilbert is lying in a pile of failure on the floor when he hears Naoki's voice and finds himself peering up at him. Wide gold eyes blink a few times before he blushes. O-of course Naoki got to see him klutz out. Both hands lift to kind of hide his face, and he nods, still flat on the floor. Muffled:] I'm all right.

[Action]

[demibrat]

[...oh god one person should not be so freaking adorable excuse Naoki blushing and looking away, resisting the urge to cover his mouth to hide a smile that wants to form. Then he lowers into a crouch and takes Gilbert's wrists, lifting his hands away from his face before holding them in his.] Come on. Up you get.

[Action]

[loyalraven]

[Oh, his clever hiding place is foiled. But he certainly doesn't resist his hands being moved. He's still blushing even as his fingers close around Naoki's and he first sits up and then goes to stand.] Th-thanks. The chair tipped over... 'cause the cat was here. [Oh so lame.]

[Action]

[demibrat]

[Naoki helps lift him to his feet, idly going about tidying Gilbert's clothes and fixing his hair for him. No, he doesn't realise he's doing it.] I get it. It's okay. You sure you didn't hit your head or anything? [Dere dere dere~]

[Action]

[loyalraven]

[On his feet then, and Gilbert's not going to argue with Naoki helping to fix him up. He is going to turn a little bit of a darker shade of pink at it, because it's awfully sweet.] Ah... mm. I'm sure. I didn't hurt anything. [Fidget. But he's smiling.] thank you

[Action]

[demibrat]

[Naoki hesitates a little when he realises what he's doing and blinks, lifting his eyes to Gilbert's.] Um. [Blushing darker. He darts a glance to the side, fidgets...and then he's zooming in for a peck (childish and light) to his cheek before turning away. Marching stiff-legged over to the counter to pretend he's doing something.]

[Action]

[loyalraven]

[Oh, Gilbert can't help but start to smile at the blush on Naoki's face. Of course, the little kiss a minute later just leaves Gilbert turning a very similar color and blinking. He lifts a hand to his own cheek where it was a kissed. Blink. Blink blink. And a shy smile before he turns to look at Naoki and his suddenly busied self.]

[Action]

[demibrat]

[Y-yep. These cupboards totally need to be opened and closed a good half dozen times, yes indeed. Naoki fidgets some more, peers just slightly over his shoulder at Gilbert through a fringe of dark hair before looking forward and pretending he wasn't looking back. Tsun tsun. Maybe time to make tea now? Yeah, that'll look convincing!]

[Action]

[loyalraven]

[Ah yes, cupboards do need to be exercised or else they misbehave. Gilbert's still watching, though a grin ticks a bit further over his features when he catches Naoki look back. He ducks his head a bit and busies himself turning the chair right side up and push it in to the table carefully. That done? He's going to wander over and make tea-making harder to do by wrapping his arms around Naoki's shoulders from behind. ...what? He warned him already about the hugging. It shouldn't be a surprise.]

[Action]

[demibrat]

[Naoki's fingers still where they're going to reach for a cup thanks to those arms around his shoulders. His eyes widen a bit and he only just manages to keep a squeak down. Then his eyes fall half-shut and he leans back (slightly, okay! Only slightly! ...oh, who is he kidding. Nobody, that's who) into that hug. Bringing up his hands to hold a little to Gilbert's arms, nestling his chin down against them a bit.]

[Action]

[loyalraven]

[However slightly the leaning might be? Gilbert's pleased by it. Warm warm, happy happy. So don't mind him sticking around like this for a bit ok?] Were you making something?

[Action]

[demibrat]

[Warm warm...happy happy, okay? Nuzzling just slightly at your arms, Gilbert and closing his eyes fully now. He likes hugs, even if he won't admit it like this.] W-was gonna make tea.

[Action]

[loyalraven]

Oh? [Maybe Gilbert perks up even more at the mention of tea, and at the nuzzling. Because Gilbert's certainly not turning his head to oh-so-subtly (maybe not that subtly) nuzzle at at Naoki's hair.] That sounds nice. [Very nice. What? He likes the affection.]

[Action]

[demibrat]

[Blushing from the nuzzling, that Naoki is, and still holding on to the arms around his shoulders. That's very nice, yes indeed.] Did you...I could... Could make some for you. [Softly nuzzling against his arms again, so sue him.]

[Action]

[loyalraven]

[Gilbert's unaware of the blushing, but he's very aware that he's kind of really comfortable himself right now. A blink at the offer and he smiles a bit before nodding. But oh right, Naoki can't really see him all that well where he's standing.] I'd really like that. That's really nice of you.
