Phys Ed; Thursday, First Period [12/21].

[sword_chocobro]

When the class came into the gym that morning, they'd find Gladio ready to go with a large red rubber ball in his hands. "You know," he said, "when I do these gym classes, I kind of like to do dodgeball for the last class, but, well, since it's almost Christmas, it seemed a little too far removed from the holiday spirit and I've decided we'll go with a less cutthroat final class instead."

Besides, this was quite possibly one of the less cutthroat classes he'd ever had. Unless you got Nell worked up into the right headspace, anyway.

"So we're doing some kickball instead. Obviously, there's not enough of us to really do teams, so we'll just take turns as pitcher and kicker and various field positions, and hopefully just have a good time for our last class. I'll go over the basics and the rules and how to play while you guys start getting stretched out, we'll do a quick lap around the gym to get out blood pumping, and then it's game on."

"I don't know," Gladio hedged, with a faint snort and a smirk on his face, leaning back a little in a way the hopefully made for more comfortable snuggling in, as well as a little snuggling back with his head ducked toward Nell's, nuzzling just a bit into her hair, "there's still a lot to with there...even with just kissing."

As he was pretty sure he didn't need to tell her by now...

"Mmmm..." she said, taking advantage of the leaning back to get even closer. "There definitely is. But I think I'm ready to add in some other things. I know I am actually."

She glanced up at him so she wouldn't miss anything on his face. "So... what are you doing after class?"

Gladio shifted again, just slightly, so that he could look at Nell looking up at him. It lingered, carefully, to make sure he wasn't missing anything or misconstruing or just projecting anything of his own feelings into her words.

But what he found there was exactly as he should have expected, exactly as she said, and he smiled, faintly, softly.

"Spending time with you," he said, "hopefully."

NFB from here

"Making love to me hopefully," Nell said with a gentle smile.

Well, there was hardly anything to be misconstrued there, and Gladio liked to think that Nell wouldn't just tease him over a thing like that. Nothing there in her face to indicate she was joking, either, so he felt his own smile tug into more of a grin, and his eyebrow lifted.

"Yeah?" he asked, his deep voice balanced between an open expression hopeful ancipation and just wanting to be sure. "You think so?"

"Well, I hope so," she said, letting him see the certainty in her eyes. "That's what I'd like anyway."

[sword_chocobro]

"Well, then," Gladio replied, "that definitely makes both of us."

Which was pretty fucking important in this sort of thing, if you asked him, and just to assure Nell of his own certainty (ha) in the matter, he lifted a hand to brush across her cheek a moment before leaning in with a kiss that wouldn't leave even a shadow of a doubt.

"So we should probably get heading on out of here, huh?" he asked, pulling back just enough to say so.

And then there was the barest of beats before he added, with a grin, "Unless you wanted to just stay right here on the mats."

He didn't think the school would approve, but he'd definitely run that risk.

Nell had to catch her breath after that kiss.

Then she laughed and blushed. "Not here! My bed is much more comfortable."

She collected herself enough to stand even though that kiss had left her legs a little wobbily. "Off we go then."
