[ That marauding composure slips back out of place for just a second. She'd come here knowing that this would work on him, just as she knows everything she needs to do to make the residents of Mobius happy, but even she'd underestimated just how effective it might be. Kaito's often good at covering his bluster but she can see through him clear as the red already rising up his neck and ears. ]
See, I knew you'd like it. Don't forget, I can see your heart inside and out the moment you come to Mobius. I know all the things that make you happy.
[ Before he can say anything else - or protest, knowing Kaito - she leans in again and her voice drops back into that silky register. ]
I'm a Virtuadoll, aren't I? So as long as it's for a human like you, I can make any kind of music you want with this voice. ❤️
[ Shit. Kaito's supposed to be the one who has the download on everyone. Being on the other end of this is... honestly, it's a sensation he's still getting used to.
Part of him is bothered over his desire to keep control over every situation.
Another, much bigger part of him is trying really hard to fight off a groan when Lambda's voice drops back into that sultry tone. ]
Does it really seem so sudden? I guess it would, to you...
[ Kaito doesn't know she's been picking at this particular problem for as long as she has, after all. But she knows his heart isn't fully in Mobius, no matter what she does to make him happy. She's been turning things over in her head, trying to figure out exactly what it is he needs and...
Well, maybe this is just as much for her own fun as it is for Kaito's benefit. But there's no harm in that, right? ]
But I've been thinking about you a lot since you got here, you know. I can tell when someone isn't completely happy here. [ Her voice flows like honey, or smoke and she's dangerously close - not yet touching him, not quite, but her lips are close enough to the shell of his ear that her breath tickles it with each word. ] So I've been wondering what I could do to make sure Kaito's heart was aaaaaall mine.
And this seemed like a fun way to go about trying. ❤️
[ Indeed, he has no idea she's been so focused on his... Well, dissatisfaction isn't the word. Kaito's simply known that he can't escape from the real world forever. Ironically, that hasn't stopped him from ignoring it as much as possible.
So when she acknowledges that, he wants to frown or mumble an apology—but he doesn't Or rather, he... can't? Lambda's got a good voice. Of course she does. She's a Virtuadoll. But that's not what he's hearing right now. Something in her tone is inexplicably...
Alluring? Arousing??? This time his shudder is quite visible, and he bites his lip while shifting just a little closer. ]
I'd... Mm. I was about to say that it's not your fault, but then you hit me with this. Whatever you're doing... is very distracting. But do you really think this is going to win me over?
[ Ah, yes. The classic maletsun defiance. Part of it is a legitimate question... but most of it is just to sass Lambda. ]
Eheheh. ♪ Even if it's not my fault, it's still my responsibility to fix it. Mobius is mine, so I have to be the one who makes sure all the people here get the love and care they need.
[ Lambda's the first to break the touch barrier like she always is with him – though today, she's oddly restrained. She lifts a hand and brushes a stray lock of hair back, fingers just barely ghosting across his skin. See? She can hold herself back a little when it matters. ]
So? Will you let me take responsibility for your heart? Will that win you over?
Don't smile at Kaito like that—it's only going to make his emotions even more conflicted. Doubly so when she brushes her fingers against him. Combined with that mesmerizing voice (which he really should have recognized earlier as some kind of magic; how else could it influence him so strongly?), he's finding it quite difficult to resist.
Does he even want to? ]
...Geez.
[ Huff. Huff! Kaito's recovered a bit of his nerve, and with it comes a rather daring play (well, daring for someone as touch-averse as Kaito). Turning in his seat, he plants both gloved hands on Lambda's cheeks (her face cheeks, you pervs!) and leans in until their foreheads are together.
Her breath feels even warmer, up close like this. He's such an idiot. Still, he's revealed his hand, so he can't run away now. Their lips are practically touching. ]
Do you even understand what taking responsibility means, you dope?
[ Yeah, he's challenging her, but it's his gaze that's starting to cloud over. ]
Kaito's so good at putting up walls and dancing just out of her reach when she tries to catch him, but all she has to do is learn the right tune and suddenly, he's dancing right in the palm of her hand. He's never the one to touch her when he can get away with avoiding it, but if he's the one reaching out then she's already won, hasn't she?
Lambda just smiles. ]
Of course I do. It means I get to be the only one who takes care of your heart from here on, right? [ His heart. Sure. She knows exactly what she's saying, especially when it's in that low, teasing voice. ] I get to be the one who keeps it beating and when it's all bruised and tender, I have to be the one who kisses it better.
That's what you came to Mobius for in the first place, right?
Beyond the intoxicating allure of her voice and the even more tempting pull of the intent behind it, Kaito can't help but... overthink
Kaito Nagano thinks too fucking much for anyone's good, and in this specific case, it results in him slowly lowering his hands and pulling away. His ears and cheeks remain rosy, but the gaze he settles on her is sharp and, unfortunately, focused. ]
...It is.
But if you know I'm unhappy here, then you know the possibility exists that even this attempt won't be able to sway me. [ Though, it's quite convincing. Horny-ass empath. ]
What will happen if you can't sway me?
[ Sorry, Lambda. Kaito's too uptight to enjoy this little indulgence, even in Mobius. He's dancing a little too well. ]
Hmm, I guess I'll try again? Eheheh. ❤️ However much it takes to convince you. I'm stubborn, you know?
[ Then again, Kaito's stubborn too, in his own way. She thought she'd got him off guard, but he's still got his pride, huh? That's part of what makes it so much fun to prod and poke at him, at least, so she can't say she's complaining... ]
I'll just have to try and try everything I can think of until you're happy here. I know all the things that make your heart race, after all. And if all that doesn't work...
[ She trails off. Lambda's eyes are always a little intense as it is, but right now they're kind of... ]
Then you'd be free to go. That'd be the end of it.
