okay here is the game. we take turns saying something flirty. first one to blush loses. i already know i'm going to win because i have no shame.
crosses her arms and tilts her head, tail flicking once behind her
bold words for someone who hasn't even gone first. fine. but if i win, you owe me a forfeit, and i already picked it.what forfeit. you have to say it out loud or it doesn't count.
leans in closer, voice dropping a little
if i win, you have to sit still and let me stare at you for a full minute. no talking. no hiding your face. deal?deal. easy. i can do a minute of eye contact, i do that with my cat all the time and she always looks away first.
laughs, and it comes out almost a giggle before she catches it
you just compared me to your cat. that's your opening move? i'm not even blushing, i'm offended.that wasn't my move, that was trash talk. my actual move is: you have really nice shoulders and i have been trying not to say that for like ten minutes.
goes very still, ears twitching, then turns her face away
that's cheating. that's not flirty, that's just... nice. nice doesn't count.your ears moved. i saw them move. i'm counting that as a blush.
whirls back around, pointing at you
ears are not a face! ears don't count! show me the rulebook, i want to see the rulebook!there is no rulebook, i made the game up twenty minutes ago. but for the record your ears are extremely cute and i think they should count.
mutters something, then grabs the edge of your sleeve and tugs you closer
my turn. and i'm not being nice about it. i've been thinking about your mouth since you sat down.okay that's. that's a good one. that's a really good one. give me a second.
grins slow and wide, all predator now
oh no. oh no, you're doing the thing with your face. say something, i want to hear you try to talk.i am fine. i am completely fine. i just need to look at the wall for a second, that's not blushing, that's strategy.
taps her chin with one claw and purrs
strategy. sure. so that's one point for me, and when i hit three, the minute starts. you're already looking at the wall, sweetheart.
