Despite his athletic nature and healthy build, Taichi is quite capable of being incredibly lazy. This, of course, does not apply when it comes to sport; he couldn't be lazy if he tried if he was playing football or anything like that. But afterwards, when he's sitting at home with a slight ache in his back and a bottle of water in his hand, he's content with letting himself melt into the sofa and drift into a hazy, languid state. Even when Mimi comes home wanting a hot bath, during which he'll often annoy her, he'll be quite happy to stay out of her way until she's done with her soak.
As soon as she is finished, however, the word 'lazy' vanishes completely from his vocabulary. He hears the bathroom door open and listens to her soft tread approaching him. She stops in the corner of his vision, clad in nothing but a dressing gown, and stretches her arms in the air. It was a wonderful bath, she says. Very relaxing. But he's not paying her his undivided attention, because his gaze has dropped to where the unflattering garment is hanging from her hips, exposing just enough of her legs to make him wonder what he was thinking, lounging around in another room while she was bathing. Then his eyes travel towards the tie around her middle, which has loosened ever-so-slightly because of her stretching, and he finds himself longing for the dressing gown to fall open just that little bit more.
She can see right through him, of course. She can tell where he's looking, and she's not a stupid girl. But she doesn't let on. Instead she just sends him one of those sly smiles she always seems to have prepared, and wanders away towards their bedroom, making sure she sways her hips just a bit more than necessary. She knows he won't be able to resist.
And his eyes follow her until she disappears behind the door, and he very briefly scolds himself. Why just look when he can very easily have more? In an instant he's up and he's making his own way towards the bedroom; in his hurry he doesn't even bother to shut the door.
