you are such a soft and messy thing, nobody knows how to take care of you
His whining makes it hard to keep her facade in place, wanting so badly to laugh or have pity on him because it’s frankly adorable. There’s something to be said about Hotaru’s love for bullying people, but Sunjata has always played into it so well it’s almost impossible not to. Though he certainly has enacted his own fair share, which is why Ru should have anticipated revenge.
If anything she might have anticipated his water magic grabbing at her, not his arms. She yelps a laugh as he snags and pulls her close, skin to skin and half-tangled up. The sudden drop in her stomach and jolt in her head are concealed by the way he sticks his tongue out at her, juvenile and - for a moment - carefree. Stop, look how happy he is, she chides herself, and definitely does not focus on the warmth of his arms around her as she instead reaches to try and grab his tongue with her fingers in an equally childish expression. “You’re right, and I stayed anyway,” she bemoans dramatically, but there’s something a shade more tender in her eyes that makes it more honest. So, to counter it, she drops her head back, dramatically baring her throat and pressing a hand to her forehead as she sags all her weight into his arms (not that it’ll do much). “And now I’ve been captured and my fun has been stolen!” Because why stop the idiocy now?
