[The aphro may not kick in again, but it definitely gives Taako a jolt? He is just. So fucking sad. He loves it so much - giggling again, louder this time.]
Stop, stop, you're too much. [He kind of wants to kiss? Is that even allowed. Embarrassing.] One more time.
[but that's a cute reaction... and hige's expression just softens at that. he'll move closer to taako then, just so that he can press a kiss to his temple, carelessly affectionate]
I think I feel very lucky just to be in the presence of someone as beautiful as yourself.
[Okay, now that's some hardcore sincerity (maybe?) and Taako short-circuits a bit at it, turning to bury his face into a pillow and waving hige off, since now he needs a second. Is it bad that without the aphro effect, he's still pretty devastated by that? (It is.)]
Okay, okay, seriously that's enough of that. Good-- [He interrupts himself with a laugh, clearly embarrassed at himself for once in his life.] Good job. You did good too.
[Oh, he likes that. He feels like a very special boy right now and that's the only thing he wants out of this. His hair has mostly worked itself out of the braid, sticking up at odd angles in contrast to its normally artful messiness. He is very particular about this.]
I guess! [wow. harsh.] I think you know you're pretty.
[oh.... then higekiri will just try to make sure that he'll smooth where it sticks up at odd angles - he's also fairly particular about aesthetics so he'll help taako look runway ready again
but also he's just laughing a bit]
That's true - I think this form is rather pleasing to others.

[I mean, fair enough? How else you gonna put it.]
Though you could just go with, uh, thanks for blowing my mind, Taako. And then I'd say, you're welcome.
no subject
Thank you for 'blowing my mind', Taako.
[he says the phrase like he's never heard it before, because he hasn't]
no subject
You're welcome!
[Rolling over so he's on his stomach, putting his hands on his chin and kicking his feet up in the air.]
You'll just say whatever I tell you to, huh?
no subject
[there's a tilt of his head]
It's not as though you're asking me for anything difficult? I don't mind making you smile.

being waved off just makes higekiri laugh a little bit, amused at the reaction.]
Haha, thank you, thank you.
[and hige will just move to let his fingers run through taako's hair carefully, trying not to hit any snags too harshly]
I don't get to be told that I'm pretty?
[he already knows he's pretty, he's just teasing]

Don't you know that you're pretty?
