[ He's not! He's a full grown adult man, Kitsuno. Still, he can't resist the flush high on his cheeks as he fights the urge to retreat -- good thinking about trying not to make Noctis feel shy, because then he gets prickly and defensive and that's the last thing either one of them need right now. ]
I mean, you've always been pretty. [ He's defending himself! And trying to salvage the tatters of just how cool he is. She's moving closer now, and from here, he can see just how lovely she really is, the softness in her eyes and the bow of her lips, and he's fighting not to look down when she moves closer, because he's damn sure if he does, he's never going to be able to look away, and he doesn't want her to think he's some sort of filthy pervert. ]
And maybe you should just stay. [ He tells her recklessly before he can think of stopping himself, because he's wanted to say this for a long time now, ever since she'd started coming into his room -- saying goodnight to her and seeing her to hers at the end of the night has been something he'd been growing not to like, and why not, if she stays in his room? ] If you want to.
