Post-shower Joe

[You could find him walking from the direction of the showers. Hair wet & washed, new clean clothes, relaxed, and hasn't even gone home yet.]

How was that suppose to help?

[strooonger]

Well, now we know that if you grab at any girls breasts, you stop functioning completely. Imagine if I had punched you right then and there?

[blueondeck]

. . .

[Damn it you have a point

... eying your breasts now like they've dishonored me]

[strooonger]

[You are lucky that I am not a girl and do not feel weird that you are staring right at them.]

[blueondeck]

[Would you feel weird if I stared at you like this when you're in your own body?]

[strooonger]

[I know you would be eying me with distrust.

The same way you are eying these boobs. But I can still tease you.]

Joe-chan, it's impolite to stare you know.

[blueondeck]

[Looks back up at your face] I wasn't trying to--

[just sighs and grumbles]

[strooonger]

You should still be aware of how things are perceived. I know this girls brother isn't that smart but, it's pretty easy to jump to certain conclusions.

[blueondeck]

What do you think he'd have said if he caught my hand on your- your... breast?

[strooonger]

Well, either he would stare until I explained the situation or he would do a cliche 'overprotective brother' move and punch you without hesitation.

[blueondeck]

If you get bright ideas of amusement like that again, at least wait until we're not in public to do them.

[strooonger]

That almost sounds like whatever ideas I come up with, you'll go along with it.

[blueondeck]

For the sake of this conversation, I'll say I might.

[strooonger]

Oh good, this will be fun.

[blueondeck]

W-what will be fun?

[strooonger]

[Can I just smile and you assume it's going to be bad?]

[blueondeck]

[That's exactly what's going on here anyway]

[strooonger]

That can wait for later. You still need to help me find my body before Hina-chan does something. [So grabbing on to your arm again and pulling on it for you to move.]

[blueondeck]

[Coming! Very aware of your grabbing, but following along with the pulling and walking beside you]

[strooonger]

[I wouldn't normally grab like this but I still need you for these stupid shoes and when am I ever going to be allowed to do this again.]

You're still breathing properly, right?

[blueondeck]

[Free hand to chest to make sure]

For now, yeah.

[strooonger]

You're improving already. Maybe the shock was all you needed.

[blueondeck]

I can breathe, but I'm very aware of your body right now.

[strooonger]

It's just a body.

[blueondeck]

You wouldn't understand.
