[He sighs into the kiss and smiles as he ushers her out with a little wave of his hand. Hayato puts his hand to his chest and turns back to his work in the office for a while until their shifts are over.
While he's locking up, he's humming gently to himself, then finally waiting at the door to walk with Ruby to his house]
The time seems to slow down the closer to the end of the shift!
[She spends what remains of her shift basically skipping around the entire establishment, humming cheerfully, ready to cheer Gokudera up as much as she can.]
It's because there's fun stuff waiting! Who wants to work when there's better stuff to do?
[She gives his hand a squeeze and gives him a smile. And she's got a ton of energy for the both of them.]
My work brings me joy, too. Like, my actual work. The whole idol thing. Which by the way, me and Aqua are working on it! So you're gonna have to totally show up, okay?
[As long as it doesn't clash with his work. He also worries about how his other partners may feel about Ruby. Tifa may have given her blessing, but that kind of leaves out Beck, Tim, Wrio, and Artemis. Then again... they don't have any Girl-Code to follow.]
Don't know yet... we're working on that. We only just decided. But he knows all the behind-the-scenes stuff and everything since he helped our mom! But you'll be one of the first people to know, okay?
Wasn't I already kinda a regular partner? At least... at least for quota, I guess, but I know that's different. But I like meeting and knowing new people!
So even if it's about making sure you're okay if something happens or whatever, I'm all for knowing more people. Besides, anyone that likes you can't be all that bad.
Yeah, but my other partners don't exactly make much effort.
[To meet his other partners, he means.]
More people should know you.
[He stops at his front door and opens it for her before following in, removing his shoes, and taking off his coat. The heels only made the trek a little uncomfortable, but the fleece tights were wonderful.]
A little more flair? I'd have ruined these if I attempted to make them.
[He motions for her to follow him so they can go enjoy the chocolates on a bed together, preferably without clothing. Hayato just wants to get his mouth on her. The chocolates are nice and all but she's really the reason he enjoys them.]
[She follows, trotting after, but her words are still a little huffy.]
Like! Something more special, like maybe fillings or something! But I didn't want to ruin the kitchen and Kalim was too busy to help me... so I definitely had to keep it extra simple.
You could always come over and use my kitchen. Wrio is very good at making chocolates so he would have helped.
[Hayato's goes to sit on the bed when he walks in, an then he flops back with a groan. It's been a rough couple days what with the dying and the fighting. Those heels may not have been tall at all, but his feet do hurt. It's a relief to be off them.]
But I wanted it to be a surprise! And to do it on my own!
Even so, once he's on the bed and she's managed to put the chocolates down safely near him... she throws herself on the bed next to him. After a moment, she rolls onto her side and wraps an arm around him in a bit of an awkward side hug.]
[He's happy to have Ruby beside him, hugging him even if it's awkward. Hayato turns and tries to pull her on top of him, so he can hug her better in return.]
[She's easy to tug on top of him, thanks to the fact she's a pretty small person. And this way is easier to hug him, and she just... relishes being able to nuzzle into his chest and enjoy just being for a moment because she adores affectionate, physical contact.]
I'm glad... and did you know you're like, one of the best people to cuddle with? Because you are.

I'll be back, okay? And then we're gonna have the best night ever.
[Because for as much as she'd like to just abandon work for the moment, she still has some sense of responsibility.]

[He grins slyly at her.]
no subject
[She huffs, a little playfully, bumping her elbow against his side.]
We can probably coexist, though~ maybe I can do the movie theme!
no subject
[Hayato hooks her arm with his own to draw her closer while the walk.]
You'd have to reach out to my BABLUFF. I'm too biased to weigh in.
no subject
[She lets him pull her closer, though, beaming.]
I'll think about it. It depends on if my kinda music would even work for it, y'know?
no subject
It only makes sense if you want to be one of my regular partners, that you should know the other people I spend a lot of time with.
Just so you know who to talk to if you ever need me. Just... if something happens.

You are really cute all dressed up like that, though!
no subject
[Hayato takes Ruby's coat and hangs it up before he's smiling, and blushing.]
Thank you. Someone special to me picked it out for me.
no subject
Here. It took me forever to get them right since I'm not all that great in the kitchen, but—! I tried!
no subject
I'm sure they're amazing. Better on you, too, probably.
[And he's opening the box, taking a bite out of one chocolate and beaming before he offers the other half for her to try.]
no subject
[She's still a little red, but leans forward to take that bite.]
It's okay. But probably better with a little more flair.
