we're sorry, Tsuruno, but Robby can't help his laugh. It's small, light and soft, accompanied by a very warm smile after the fact. He's brought his legs up and tucked them under the cover, though he's still resting on an elbow. ]
That's a special kind of thoughtful. I'd have taken the bed.
[ It's not said in an insulting way, at least.......... ]
[ It's true, she's lifting her head a bit to blink at him, because she can never really tell at first processing whether he's teasing her or not, trying to get a reaction out of her. ]
Wouldn't that just make it harder for you to sleep, anyway?
[ He seems to think about it for a second, before lifting his shoulders. ]
Dunno unless I try. Depends if you wanna try. [ But, with a small chuckle in his voice-- ] Wouldn't be as comfortable as sleeping in your own bed later, though.
[ So, you know. He'd get not wanting to squeeze up on a sofa with him compared to a bed all on your own, later. ]
[ The thing about her is that yes, she will always put proximity with Robby above all else, including a comfortable bed, especially when they're both rattled and uncertain, so after a short pause, Tsuruno climbs back to her feet and then moves to join him on the sofa. ]
[ Everything about what's happening here is done on the fly--that is, Robby definitely wasn't planning this. Just like when he suggested Tsuruno ask him out, and that led to him sincerely offering it, even if there had been some teasing involve.
He watches her now get up, and there's a giddiness in him, something unexpected but not disliked, and he moves himself to make room for her, pulling back the blanket, trying to push into the back cushions to make as much room for Tsuruno to work with. For them both to figure out, once she gets on. ]
Is this okay? [ He asks in particular, when he brings his arm that would be pinned between his body and the couch out near her shoulders; and then bringing it around, to hold her across the chest.
Or, you know. he can let it sit somewhere by her stomach. Wherever that isn't pinned under himself. ]
[ has she ever slept on a sofa with another person? Yes, technically, if Felicia got herself worn out and hadn't wanted to go to her own room at Mikazuki Villa, but this is markedly different.
All the same, Tsuruno finds it more reassuring than awkward, fitting herself back against Robby and pausing to consider where his arm is before huffing lightly. ]
Works fine for me. Is it okay for you?
[ he's not really getting the luxury of space here. ]

Why was the bed weird?
[ Also, why pick the floor over the seat, Tsuruno!!! ]
no subject
[ she mumbles this a little, aware it sounds ridiculous. But also shh the floor is comfy. ]

Yeah, well, you already knew I was weird.
[ And you decided to date that, goes unspoken. If she's sulking at all, it's very lightly so. ]
no subject
You can always sleep in my bed, even if I'm not in it. [ His smile hasn't gone, and with a pause: ] You can sleep with me here, too.
[ This is also a part of their relationship: Robby proposing an offer that might not sound entirely sincere. ]

Sure. [ ...he's putting his other over her waist, securing her. Almost-- ] You're like one of those body pillows people use.
[ Robby is not thinking of the otaku kind, mind.
But he is quite enjoying snuggling up to her like this. Her presence against his. ]
no subject
[ she is going to choose to believe that he's not referring to her as one of those. She is not a waifu.
But he's warm against her and it's a snug fit, not all that uncomfortable, and one hand moves to cover the one near her waist. ]
Get some rest, okay?
no subject
[ Was this meant to be Tsuruno just hanging around until he fell asleep? Sike, life. This is now two dorky partners cuddling together on a sofa.
.....instead of just going for a bigger bed.
Because sometimes, you're weird. And that's okay. ]
