"Oh snappers!" Gem says, eyes alight with mischief.
Etho scoffs. "That is not how I sound." But he's smiling, because she's so fucking cute. He moves forward, poking her in the ribs in all the places he knows she's ticklish.
"Oh, no?" she teases, giggling and backing away, but not too quickly, because she doesn't really want to be away from him. Ever.
"No," he says, backing her into the wooden pillar behind her. Her cheeks pink, and her lips part a little, and he loves that he has this effect on her. "Want to hear my impression of you?"
She rolls her eyes, fighting the fluttering in her belly, trying to keep up the facade of the upper hand, even though he's so close and he's so warm. "Oh, sure, let's hear it."
"Oh Etho, you're so talented," he says, bringing his voice up an octave, and her cheeks are fully flushed now. "It's so hard being an Ethogirl on this server because you're sooooo handsome!"
She scoffs this time, but it's weak, and she fists his shirt as if to shove him away but of course she doesn't. "I don't sound like that," she breathes, and it doesn't matter if it's true or not because he's kissing her, and maybe it's not so hard to be an Ethogirl on this server after all.
