[blinks and shifts a little so that she has room.]
Sure.
[though this will be... a little awkward. this was a pretty small book so that would mean they would have to be pretty close for her to read the words.]
Want me to start from the beginning? [since he was kind of already halfway through.]
[ she hops over the back of the sofa, plopping down next to him, forearms touching. she hoists her knees up to her chest so she's a bit more comfortable, hovering slightly over him so she ca read the text.
and, after a glance at the page he's reading, Maka shakes her head. ]
No, here's good. The beginning is kind of slow-I really like when it picks up.
[ her eyes scan over the page quietly, occasionally darting over to see if Kid was reading along as well, before quickly going back to the book because she is being creepy and staring at people is weird.
[pretty much doing the same, except he's glancing up at the ceiling as he just. turns the page.]
Er, sorry.
[back to. quiet reading.
...now why was he becoming more aware how close they were? it's not like the first time they've ever sat close together. but that was probably because the situations were usually different. and not so. personal.]
read.

[and he'll be leaning just a little closer to her so that she didn't have to make herself overly uncomfortable.]
Just tell me when you want me to turn the page.

there's a moment before a realization occurs and Kid lets out a small chuckle.]
You know, this is the first time I've ever read a book with someone. Liz usually reads her fashion magazines, and Patti...well, I let Liz handle that.

Can't really say Soul is crazy about reading either. [ she rolls her eyes. ] It's not "cool" or something.

He would say something like that. If only he knew what he was missing out on.
[he turned to look at her, but uh. they're kind of close, huh?]
Reply
yes. yes they are close.
blushing and looking right back at the book? yes most definitely. she clears her throat. ]
I, um, finished reading the page.
