[UMINEKO SPOILERS] Heart (Unscored): Beatrice

The story ends as such:
"when the seagulls cried, none were left alive"...

But this isn't such a sad story.

This is a story about love.

[... whines because his chest hurts but then stops and halfheartedly throws a pillow at her.]

Bring your foot over here and I'll kiss it. But I'm not budging.

Hmph, fine.

[lays back on the bed so that she can hold up her foot for him]

[takes her foot...

AND PULLS IT TO PULL HER OVER CLOSER.]

What, this foot?

[waves it at her.]

[GWAH

WHAT IS THIS BETRAYAL]

Battler!!!

[SNERKS it's cute]

All right, all right, calm down.

[looks to the foot he's holding and just. yeah, okay. fair enough. he'll give it a kiss.]

I'm sorry I put you through this.

[and another kiss.]

And you saw me hurt like that.

[and a third...]

[hey wow this is an even worse kind of attack]

...I-it's not like... you need to apologise for any of that...

In that case, I won't anymore.

[but won't stop him from giving foot a fourth kiss]

[how dare he be so good smh]

...I'm sorry I wasn't able to help sooner. Maybe if I had supported you more, the snake wouldn't have gotten a hold of you like this.

[watching her with that look, you know the one.]

You can't help or support someone who's not letting on that they might need it. I've just been... trying too hard. It's funny. I think even Ember said something like "try less" once.

You always try too hard, that's true.

[fond]

Am I trying too hard now?

[a bit ironically said but also it's time to massage the foot a little, mmmmostly to keep his hands busy with minimal movement]
