[He is spared of more talks about having children, but the next topic- the teasing isn't any better. In some ways, an incoherent Monika is cute and amusing to watch, if he wasn't the focused in her mind and be subjected to embarrassing things. But it's Monika, it's impossible for her to not always think about him.
Even in their own private home, even when Soundwave had once reluctantly said it, he still has trouble calling her "Moni Muffins", lips thinning as he refused to humour her on the name. Whose fault was it that came up with that nickname? ... He knows it's his own fault there and now can't ever escape that name.
Soundwave's going to ruin her fun and silences her singing by pressing his finger on Monika's lips.]
[ Well that's a shame because she's not tired, not even a little bit. She went silent the moment he pressed a finger against her lips to stop her singing. For a moment, it looked as though she would comply. Sleep was good, right? But then—
Alas, she parted her lips and leaned forward, taking his finger into her mouth and closing her lips around it. Nibbling playfully on it and giving him an amused (if only drunk) stare. ]
[Uuuh... He wasn't expecting that. Add that she can get very bold when drunk.
For a few seconds there, Soundwave freezes and watches Monika nibbled on his finger with a shocked face on the avatar, clear as day. It can be said that his brain module short circuited there for a bit. Eventually his composure then comes back, shaking his head before pulling his finger out of her mouth.]
No. I am not going to.
[His voice grows sterner.]
If you are not tired then.... Perhaps we can play a video game? I believe we have a couple of two player games we could play...?
[Aggressively trying to change the subject. He's pretty sure that he has a console game somewhere in the house.]
[ A two player game? That sounded exciting! A video game? Not so much. Instead Monika turned around and picked a pack of pocky she'd brought for them to eat after the meal if they so wanted. She immediately took a pocky out of it-- ]
The pocky game!!
[ Except she didn't aim to win and only aimed for a tie, because what was the fun if they didn't kiss? And there were like fifty pockies in the pack, so they could play for a long time. She placed the pocky in her mouth and leaned forward expectantly. ]
Hmm-mm!!
[ He's not going to deny her after he was the one to offer two players-game, right? ]
Pocky game? Unfortunately, Soundwave has never heard of that game before, so there's some bit of confusion on him as she hold the pocky stick in her mouth. Though with the expectant look on her and the tip of the stick is pointing at him, he feels he has an inkling of an idea on what he should do.
[ Gosh, why did he ask when it was so obvious? He was no fun at all! She took the pocky out of her mouth. At least he'd managed to sober her up some. Just a bit. ]
It's the pocky game! We take a bit of the pocky each turn and kiss when we meet...
[ She looked down and sighed. ]
I'm starting to think you don't actually want to play with me...
[Soundwave is 80% of the time a party pooper, but he also wanted to be sure! It is just as he guessed as to what it is supposed to be. He has to wonder how does one win or lose in this game, but he feels like this is just a cute way for them to kiss, maybe.]
Monika, I honestly have never heard of this game before.
[Reiterating what he just said earlier. But seeing that he unintentionally disappointed her, Soundwave sighs.]
[ Even if he'd never heard of it, that should have been obvious what her intent was... Was a cute kissing game so bad? Maybe because she was so drunk, she was more prone to mood swings. And yes, by "so drunks," that meant two glasses. One and a half, to be specific.
So she put the pocky back into her mouth, but without any enthusiasm whatsoever. ]
Hmf...
[ Yes, she's sad and pouting. And it's all Soundwave's fault!
.... Not really. She's very embarrassing when she's drunk. ]
[Why is she still upset? He agreed to play her silly game! Of course, it's simply the alcohol influencing her that she's acting like this, and Soundwave knows that much, but still... She's very embarrassing right now. Luckily, Soundwave is recording this so that Monika can watch it later when she sober up. Oh, when did he start recording things? Just imagine that he did a little while ago.
He stares at Monika with a flat expression, closing his eyes to briefly roll them, and then takes the other end of the pocky stick in his mouth.]
Mm.
[Now then... Soundwave holds up three fingers to start the countdown, and when the final digit is down, Soundwave starts first by taking a little bite.]
[ He may have closed his eyes, but she could still feel his emotions. The eye roll was as obvious as if she had seen it for herself. She wondered why he was so inconsiderate tonight? First the girl he had brought back, his dismissal of the other topic, now that...
Maybe he was just tired and wanted to sleep. He'd come back from a pretty long trip after all. She took a bite, a big one and went for the kiss immediately. She'd lost her desire to play— But not so that she wouldn't go for a kiss. It felt comforting, at least.
It didn't last long though ere she pulled back. ]
You're right... We should go sleep.
[ She got up from her seat on his lap and turned away. Her movements were still slow and wobbly, she still felt the heat in her cheek. Urgh... Was she just being irresponsible and childish because she was drunk? Shouldn't she expect for him to at least humor her?
[Part of it because he feel tired, yes. Maybe a drunken Monika was a little too much for tonight...
However, seeing that Monika is still upset over his actions tonight, and boy does he realize how inconsiderate he is being tonight, some guilt starts to eat at his spark. It certainly wasn't his intention to, but the fact now is that he's upset her too much in one night. Immediately after she gets up, Soundwave follows after and supports her, wrapping an arm around her to make sure she doesn't fall. His guilt adds up more when she hears her apology.
Guess she isn't the only mess tonight.]
... No, don't. If anyone here deserve an apology more is you, Monika. ... I am sorry for causing hurt to you tonight.
[ Monika had intended to return to her room, but stopped in her track upon feeling his arm wrapping around her and hearing his words. She remained silent for a moment— The pro of their emotional link was that she never had any room to doubt or question his words, even when she felt sad and hurt.
She knew he was honest. There was no doubt about it. ]
... I love you.
[ She lowered her head and leaned back against him. She really ought to better prepare for her next "alcohol toughening" session so that it wouldn't happen right after he came back. ]
[And in turn, he leans forward, pressing his chest against her back. Soundwave starts to walk towards Monika's room- that's where they'll be sleeping together tonight. He's not worried about his Manna burning up from using his holoavatar, confident in that by morning he'll be topped up.]
Yes, you may do that. I am not certain if I have the energy for, ah... more, now that I think about it, but... I can try to indulge in your wants. The offer remains open.
[ She giggled lightly, a bit wobbly still but the surge of emotions had sobered her up some. Once they reached her room, she plopped down on the bed. It'd been an exhausting evening, huh. And she felt they both were at fault here... She was too emotional. Too prone to fits of jealousy, too eager to do things with him and too scared to lose everything.
The healing was... Really slow. ]
Ahaha, I don't think I'd have the energy for more either... [She didn't have a crazy sex drive to begin with, and right now she just wanted to fall asleep cuddling him. Hence why she opened her arms as she was laying down, smiling at him.] Just sleeping alongside you is all I need.
[His own was his dismissal of talking or doing anything that he finds embarrassing, which Monika was eager about. He needs to learn to relax some more.... And not realising how inconsiderate his actions could be to how Monika may perceived them, even if ione of them came from a place of kindness.]
Mm, and that's enough for my own needs, too.
[Soundwave takes off the avatar shirt and jeans first before jumping on the bed with Monika. Not to ready himself for sex, but he feels a little more comfortable sleeping without having these clothes on him. He slips into her welcoming arms, lazily wrapping his own around her, nuzzling his face against her neck.]
