[If she knew that little fact, she'd feel flattered, and tease him without mercy. As it is, she has to answer back, even if she's a little...preoccupied.]
Gilbert! Welcome back. You're all right? More then...nn...just safe?
Learn something new? I still ooo-owe! You those cigarettes! Ah...no storm, the carnival is over. It's...quiet now. Far as I know, anyway. I've, um, been a bit...busy.
[Forgive her, she's going to take a moment. She's a little breathless.]
You're not. It's just...here. I'll show you.
[Too late for him to protest, she switches the video function on. She's kneeling in front of a floor length mirror, bound by...it looks like pink rope. Or ribbons. Someone decided it'd be cute if she had a big bow over her chest anyway, as well as bind her hands and feet.
It might take a good look, but she's on top of...well...something that's vibrating. And it's blue.
She's a little flushed, glistening even and breathless, but she offers him a smile on the other side of the mirror.]
[THAT'S DEFINITELY NOT NOTHING. He definitely means to say that but at first he's too busy being embarrassed. And thinking it's hot - in his head where no one else but him can hear it. Except for the fact that his inability to remain cool about it probably gives him away just as much as admitting it would.]
Th-that's... ah...
[When did speaking in sentences become so hard? He's not even doing anything and his sentences are just as broken up as hers jeez.]
[He's really having this conversation huh... well since he's not going to get away with it anyway, he might as well be honest. Though it doesn't make it any less embarrassing for him.]
I-I think I like you tied up like that...
B-but if you wanted to tie me up... I-I'd let you.
[And that's not something he'd probably let many do.]
[He's pretty sure there's nothing innocent about it. But he bashfully sets himself up in front of the mirror, standing there pretty awkwardly. It's not like he know what to do with himself. So just stand there he does.]
A-alright.
[But it's a good shot of his blushing face so she should be pleased.] D-does this work?
[audio voicemail]
[Goodness is he awkward at this. She's the only girl he knows in the city right now that he'd bother doing this for anyway.]
[audio]
Gilbert! Welcome back. You're all right? More then...nn...just safe?
[audio]
Thanks. Yeah everything's... good. [His trip back home had been good for him at the least.] How have things been... while I was gone?
[Nothing bad he hopes.]
[audio]
Learn something new? I still ooo-owe! You those cigarettes! Ah...no storm, the carnival is over. It's...quiet now. Far as I know, anyway. I've, um, been a bit...busy.
[audio]
Y-yeah, I did. I-I'll come visit sometime. You can give them to me then.
[Okay okay now this is about serious stuff... the stuff he's missed.] I-It sounds like it. [...wait...] I-I mean I'm sure you have!!
[NO WAIT THAT DEFINITELY SOUNDS WORSE.] I-I MEAN I-I didn't mean it like that it's just...
[Gilbert will just be here on the other end, dying of mortification and embarrassment.]
[audio]
Well, we can pick them...out! I don't know what kind you like. You've never...told me.
[Breathe Gilbert, and she'll try to do the same. She tries to offer a giggle, but it ends up as a half swallowed moan.]
Poor, poor Gilbert. You tried. I'm not with any...nnn! one, if that's what you're worried about.
[audio]
[That's supposed to be helping? He's not sure he sees it that way, gulping. But well, it's definitely better that way.]
S-Still I didn't mean to ah-- i-interrupt you...
[No matter how you look at it, it's definitely. An interruption, right?]
[audio -> video]
[Forgive her, she's going to take a moment. She's a little breathless.]
You're not. It's just...here. I'll show you.
[Too late for him to protest, she switches the video function on. She's kneeling in front of a floor length mirror, bound by...it looks like pink rope. Or ribbons. Someone decided it'd be cute if she had a big bow over her chest anyway, as well as bind her hands and feet.
It might take a good look, but she's on top of...well...something that's vibrating. And it's blue.
She's a little flushed, glistening even and breathless, but she offers him a smile on the other side of the mirror.]
S-see? It's nothing.
[audio]
Th-that's... ah...
[When did speaking in sentences become so hard? He's not even doing anything and his sentences are just as broken up as hers jeez.]
Something.
[A+ Gilbert, yes that sure is something.]
[audio]
Is it? Well ah-ah-
What I was going to say is-
Did you want this? Sometime? I mean the tying up. Not the teasing.
[audio]
S-somehow I can't help but think it would be both. [Tying up and teasing that is.]
A-Anyway I... I wouldn't... be opposed... to it...
[audio]
[Because really he's so fun to tease.]
Would you want me tied up like a present? Or should I...mmm, should I tie you up?
[audio]
I-I think I like you tied up like that...
B-but if you wanted to tie me up... I-I'd let you.
[And that's not something he'd probably let many do.]
[audio]
Ne, ne Gilbert. How about you get on video for a second?
[She's the most pure of intentions, really. Really. She doesn't want to see his pretty blushing face at alllll.]
[audio > video]
A-alright.
[But it's a good shot of his blushing face so she should be pleased.] D-does this work?
[audio]
It's perfect! Thank you very much~
[audio]
[No he's not sure he should ask.
...but now he has to wonder what he's supposed to do. He's supposed to excuse himself right? He's not supposed to... keep... listening... right?]
W-well that was what I wanted to talk to you about so...
[....]
U-um... I should... let you... focus on what you're doing...
[audio]
Unless you want to listen in. Or join me~
[Now she's just being mean. But she can't help it! He's so cute.]
[audio]
I-Isn't that weird?!
[N-not that he... considered it... okay....]
[audio]
[Kiss kiss Gil.]
[audio]
Probably both.
Even if she says that though-]
T-then... you wouldn't mind... if I did decide to listen?
[Just asking...]
[audio]
But I reserve the right to shower you with kisses later.
[It's blackmail payment, obviously. So no one may know that Gil is a pervert.]
[audio]
...a-alright, that's fine.
[Seems fair enough for protecting his secret.]
[audio]
Good. V-very, very good.
You're...very fun to kiss you know.
[audio]
[He's pretty sure he's a terrible kisser. Or at least that's what he's convinced himself.]
