[Name] was in quite a predicament.
Genos was hugging her. Now, most would not call that a problem and would happily accept the handsome cyborg's embrace, but [Name] also had another problem.
She could not move, and was almost being crushed by the weight of metal arms. So instead of cuddling back with Genos like most would, she sat still tensely, face aflame, eyes wide as saucers, and mouth pressed into a firm line.
She must have fallen asleep while watching the detective show marathon, [Name] concluded. Guilt flooded her as she realized Genos must have stayed with her because of that and she stifled a sigh.
Now she would have to figure out how to get out of this sticky situation. She could lean back from her earlier position against his chest (Which was quite warm) and pretend to be asleep, but she would still have to get out of his clutches. She could wake him, but the thought was crossed out immediately. Too rude and embarrassment would still be involved.
She failed to notice golden eyes watching her closely while [Name] mulled over possible solutions. After a moment and no promising answers, she glared at Genos's arms.
"What a mess..." A deep voice spoke up from beside her, making a startled squeak escape her. "What is a mess?" [Name] turned her head to face the oblvious cyborg, a fake smile plastered on her face. "Ah, nothing! I was just remembering when my grandmother's cat destroyed her garden!" That was a complete and utter lie, and a horrible one at that. [Name]'s grandmother had died before she was born, and [Name] was pretty sure the woman, who her mother had said hated animals, did not have a cat.
He said nothing in return and continued staring into her with that half angry-half neutral expression on his face. [Name] sweated. What if he had lie detectors or something?! The (E/c) girl squirmed, "Um, can you let me go?" Instantly he released her, apologizing and [Name] shot from the couch, rubbing the back of her neck in embarrassment. "I apologize," he said for the second time, also standing up. "I turned on my heaters as you appeared to be cold." "Oh, thanks!" [Name squeaked, face growing even more warm. The duo stood in the small living room in an awkward silence, [Name] with her shoulders almost up to her ears and arms stiffly pressed against her sides. She could not tell if Genos was embarrassed that the two had been cuddling. He stood there, his posture perfect as always. [Name] eyes darted around the room looking for any ideas on how to break the tension and after none was found, she resorted to the one thing that always helped her in awkward situations.
"U-um, would you like some tea?"
~~~ [Name] kicked an innocent pebble in her path angrily, muttering creative obscenities under her breath. "'Would you like some tea?' Pathetic [Name]! Was that the best you had?" Other citizens that were taking a stroll or who happened to be nearby looked at the fuming girl wearily, dispersing quickly. The streets were soon nearly deserted, it was midday and that was the time most were working or running errands. "Stupid stupid stupid!" She continued, plopping on a nearby bench and placing her groceries beside her. Cupping her chin in her hands, she slumped forward and glared at everything in general. Her mind drifted to Genos, face flushing at the memory of the earlier event. [Name] pressed her lips tightly together, eyebrows furrowing. Her heart thumped wildly and her chest felt constricted.
[Name] was not dumb, though she did have horrible decision making skills, and she knew what this feeling was.
She cursed again, deciding to blame everything on the Sea King as that was the most reasonable thing to do.
"If that stupid fish guy had not shown up, then I would be perfectly fine. No cyborg or weird bald guy and no, definitely no, monster hunting!" [Name] brewed thoughts about how she would revive the Sea King and then strangle him, and then repeat the whole process over again. She repeated her words from earlier, though this time louder and packed with more anger.
