[ there's uncertainty in the look on Yang's face. she's not too sure on where Levi's got it in their head that judgement was going to be an issue tonight. not about something like this. yeah, they had their disagreements, but one's opinions and outlook on life had to be pretty bad to have Yang questioning their motives. this, tonight? this ain't about any of that. it's about having a good time.
no, scratch that. it's about enjoying the time they're given to the fullest.
so, Yang interprets the statement to mean Levi's thought better about wanting to kiss her right then and there. which is... well, Yang can't say it's not disappointing, but it's fair. it's their right.
disregarding Levi's feelings was never on the table. Yang slips off the bike and stands before them. close, but not too close, hopefully. she stops herself from reaching up to brush at those lips, wanting to ease some of the anxiety in that action with a touch if she could. her eyes flick downward, briefly, but stay on Levi's eyes. even if the glasses had been in the way she'd know where to find them. the movement is automatic. magnetic.
Yang's been chastised for giving mixed signals before. turns out you can't say "we don't have to keep going" when you've got your hand down someone's pants can be more than a bit confusing. she was younger, then, and has learned since to be more careful with the intent of her actions but, gods, sometimes she just wants to touch and be touched and when given the chance to get lost in the familiar she'll toss away her map and disregard the warning signs without giving it a single thought.
but she does give it more than one thought this time. ]
I'd never. [ they are both probably overthinking this. Yang steps back out of proximity until she can clutch the metal pipe that serves as the railing for the stairs. ] But we can just chill, if you'd rather...
[ she offers up a smirk. cool. casual. tries to squeeze all the implications and intimacy out of her statement. ] Whatever happens though, I'm getting out of these clothes.
[ Yang begins her ascent without waiting for an answer. she doesn't want to stare Levi down, put any more pressure on them than they might already be wrestling with. ]
