Is the fact you're happy unpleasant enough to feel embarrassed about? Are your feelings supposed to be a source of embarrassment for me?

[ she'd like to think she knows the answer to those questions, she hopes she does, anyway, but she feels the need to say them out loud to make sure he knows how ridiculous he sounds for apologizing. ]

N-no, of course not!

[His head darts up so fast that the towel slides off.]

That would be... I shouldn't have apologized like that. It was too forward of me.

[He leans back and sighs. Naegi is happy here, happy with her, but he's so bad at this.]

It's embarrassing that you heard me speaking so openly, but... I'm happy. I'm really glad I'm here with you, Kirigiri-san. Thinking that would be embarrassing for you was too presumptuous, though, and I'm sorry.

[ the towel goes back on his head and she leans in, lingering close ]

Enough apologizing. We had a good night.

Besides, being a little more forward isn't a bad thing for you.

[That had been the last thing he expected her to say, but... Naegi feels a light flush cover his cheeks. He's surprised but it isn't a bad feeling.]

D-do you really think so? I'm not very good at it, but... I could try it, maybe.

[He lets a small smile cross his features, though.] It really was a good night, though... I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.

Thank you for organizing it.

[ she sets her hairbrush and towel in his lap and turns around to splay out her damp hair. She looks over her shoulder with a small smile. ]

If you're looking for ideas on how to take initiative, you can start with this.

[ Even when she tells him to lead, she still dictates the terms. It's still her birthday, after all, and she wants to be spoiled a little. ]

[OH. WELL THEN.]

O-oh, of course!

[He's blushing still as he takes up the towel first, but there's a strange feeling that tightens in his chest. Somehow it's not uncomfortable, but is actually almost... pleasant?]

Let me know if I'm being too rough...

[Even as he says it, Naegi is extremely gentle as moves the towel across her hair. He jolts a little bit when some of her hair touches his fingers by accident, though he tries futilely to hide it. It's,,, Her hair is really soft.]

[ He must be doing something right, because she's humming, pleased at the feeling of his hands on her hair. The air around them is comfortably warm. ]

It's nice.

Ah, g-good.

[Dumb, probably, to talk right then. But the words have already slipped out, so there's nothing to be done about it now. Once her hair is suitably dry, Naegi takes up the brush and carefully pushes it through her hair. Though it's hard not to be... distracted as he holds onto it. It really does feel nice.]

...I'm glad. It's nice being able to do this for you, too.
