“…Oh.” Hel blinked. No wonder her mother seemed to just be going on and on about Mot in one of her most recent letters. “You are a tricksy cowboil.” She smiled at him. Call it a Christmastival miracle…Hel seemed to catch that sound before she was completely in the hall, and back tracked.
“What was that, Mot?”

Oh! Yay~ She came back!
C:
Mot smiled happily, currying across his bed to fetch something from his night table.
Secret fidgeting and then, as he turned.. A small flash of light.
He'd just taken a picture with his eyephone. "Okay, you can go now."

Hel tilted her head as Mot smiled and scurried across the bed. What was he doin—Then the flash. Hel blinked, and them made an exasperated sound.
“…Well…I suppose it would last longer, yes…?” She moved back closer to Mot, stopping when her knees brushed his. “…No one else had better see that picture…and you know…” She started to lean towards him. “…I think you owe me something for that…”

Mot was so happy ogling his photo he didn't see Hel approach until their knees touched. Looking down, his smile faltered. She was leaning in close. She looked like she expected something.
"Of course.." He answered. His eyes only. However... "I do? What.. do I owe?"

Hel leaned over him a bit more, her lips curling up.
The ghoul swayed a bit, placing her hands behind her back as she stared at him. Waiting. Expecting. She was being obvious right? Obvious enough? Oh wait…Mot was pretty dense in matters like this…Hel tapped her lips.

Dense is right.
Had Hel not tapped her lips, Mot would have been left guessing for quite sometime. The reaper turned red straight away once he got it, shoulders hunching as he leaned back. "O-oh..." That shouldn't be a hard price to pay. For Mot though, it took a lot of mental prep and courage.
His eyes darted to the sides, his fingers gripping his eyephone nervously. "S-sure.."
Psyche yourself up! Terra Cotta eyes flicked up to Hel's a couple times before bashfully looking away, but eventually the grim reaper got the nerve. He shut his eyes, leaned forward and softly pressed his lips against Hel's.

Mot hunched his shoulders and leaned back, away from her.
Hel’s face immediately fell. This was a terrible idea, she shouldn’t have even brought it up…but the kiss at the play had been such a pleasant surprise! The ghoul watched the poor boil glance this way and that, noticed how his fingers tightened on the phone, and it didn’t make her feel any better when he finally did lean forward. After just a quick peck of their lips brushing, the valkyrie straightened, pulling away from him now as she tried to give him a reassuring smile.
“Thank you!” She chirped, her pitch a bit high. “I’ll uh…be right back…”
She spun on her heel then, and went to go get ready for bed.

If you looked up the word dense in a dictionary, Mot's picture would be there beside it.
Why was Hel upset? Her voice had hitched and everything. Did he do something wrong? The cowboil scratched his head as she left. Perhaps this kiss was sub-par? But.. he did it just as he had at the play!
WHAT DO!?!?!
"Raagh.." Mot huffed, flopping face first into his bed, blankets still piled all over and around him. Only his toes stuck out from beneath the mass.

Hel returned a few minutes later, clad in her sleep clothes and hair braided, dragging with along her favorite quilt as well. She closed the door to his room, and hesitated there for a moment before locking it. After what happened tonight…no chances. None what so ever.
She made her way back to the bed, staring down at the lump on the bed and she sighed softly. He was…just shy, right? Right? Hopefully…hey…were those his toes? Hel shuffled to the end of the bed and stared. First step to ADD: toes. She’d never seen Mot’s toes before er well…she probably did…but she was actually paying attention to them this time, since the boil usually wore boots and socks. Hel reached out grabbed one of his big toes, tugging on it gently.

The toe retreated into the mass of blankets.
There was shuffling.
The blanket started to move.

A small smile pulled at the reaper’s lips as Mot’s toes disappeared underneath the blankets and the lump started to shift.
The smile faded and Hel climbed onto the bed, occupying the side that was open before she flopped down onto it as well. The ghoul rolled onto her side to that her back was facing the lump, and pulled her quilt up to her waist. Mot seemed to get…nervous whenever she was facing him and was so close so…yeah.

The mass of blankets seemed to still, waiting for Hel to settle.
Mot peeked from beneath his blanket pile, gauging where Hel was. He smiled mischievously, and retreated into his covers. There was more shifting, until the mass was fairly close to her.
It was time to make up for the lackluster kiss. The only way he knew how. The only way he was comfortable.
A giant hug cusioned with blankets.
"Aha!" Mot sounded out before wrapping his arms around the sulking for of Hel. His face finally emerged and he snuggled his cheek onto the top of her head. "Don't be sad. I like you."

The nefarious plan went unnoticed, until it was too late.
Hel actually squeaked out of surprise when she was pulled into a giant, cushioned hug, and her hands went to rest on top of his arms as they wrapped around her. The ghoul paused as she felt his cheek on top of her head, and tried to bat down the moths she was feeling in her stomach again. “…I..I’m not sad!” She protested, “And…I…I know you do…”

Mot giggled softly under his breath at her answer, holding her tightly in his cushioned arms. It was easier for him this way. He could still hold her close without those pesky moths trying to tear his insides out.
"Sleep tight, Hel." Mot instructed. He himself wasn't feeling the sleep bug, but he didn't mind keeping hold of Hel all night. It was like he was protecting her, even though she was usually the one protecting him.

Well this was new…Hel couldn’t say she was use to being in this kind of hold…but it wasn’t unpleasant. Just strange and new.
“…You too.” She murmured, though whether or not he’d get any sleep was left up to debate. Hel settled a bit more, pulling her quilt up before returning her hands to his arms. The reaper was silent for a moment, reflecting on the day’s events before she let out a yawn. “…Thank you, Mot.” She murmured, letting her eyes slip shut as the weariness from the day started to settle in.
