[... Shit.
Even non-accusatory there's a moment where she's clearly trying to weigh the possibilities, namely the one where he looked at her screen, even in passing, and might have seen something. This is where she'd probably lie and insist that nothing was really wrong, but he does seem concerned and she can't hide much of anything from him.]
Something like that. I'm sorry, I thought it would stop.
[That's a half-quack.] It's fine, though! Some stuff you just - y'know, you wait it out and then it's over with.
[From the very bottom of her heart Nariko is convinced that if she ignores Christian he'll give up, and they'll never hear anything from him again.]

[Okay, that went over well! She can now breathe a sigh of relief.]
Even so, I'm glad you're not the type to judge my food choices. I've decided that I've had enough of that.

Oh, whose counting anyway?
[Certainly not her! Though a lot of that is exactly because she doesn't need a whole lot of coaxing to react one way or the other! She was willing to chill here and play with his hair and not rush Boxer, but it meant existing in a state of perpetual, almost brutal horniness.]
You're gonna ... Put me ahead by two at this rate!

I wasn't letting it fester.
[Implying that she had hurts almost as much as him giving her the stupid phone.] I stayed away because I didn't want him to follow me to your apartment or something. [She was trying to keep the drama away from him! Not that it's worked out very well for her.]
I've already told him to leave me alone and they aren't going to let him in my building anymore.
[This is so not what she wanted to talk about, goddammit.]

[She loves all orgasms. She'd sit around and do nothing but have orgasms if she could be paid for it! But that's called being a prostitute, which is technically illegal and dangerous, as far as diseases were concerned.
But more seriously: She makes some kind of objecting noise and that's about the extent of her verbal skills right now. There's really something to be said for edging and then getting that glorious relief. It doesn't take anything more than a good handful of seconds to leave her writhing in place, stuttering out his name in big, drawn out fragments.
Hell, now she can't worry about it even if she wants to.]

[Holding! And then!]
Hey, we have to be clear about that!
[This Junction Jan's deal is really going to be their Thing.]
I like Mystery Jan's! It's just not my favorite! There's a difference!
[No there isn't. They're gonna have to get separate flat breads like an old bickering couple.]

When don't I gush over your tentacles? [This is almost a logical question. She always gets wet over his tentacles.]
It doesn't sound as if I can even begin to argue this.
[She wasn't rude!!!! Or at least not that much! Kind of!] Just give me my punishment, I probably deserve it.

[If he wants to do backflips and spell out letters with his tongue she isn't going to stop him! It's a free world and as long as he's near and he doesn't try to force her to wait it's all good. And so it's only right that when he comes back she lets out one long, indulgent moan, as if the noise itself was a pleasure unto itself.]
A-And to think I wanted - wanted to sleep!
[She almost missed out on this! It's a good thing he didn't let her just flop into bed.]
Boxer. [That's it, man, she comes, and incredibly happily at that.]

Boxer. [That's it, man, she comes, and incredibly happily at that.]
[She opens her mouth and her phone goes off yet again, he's calling her this time.]
I'll block him, okay?
[So at the very least even if he wants to call it won't bother Boxer any. She's letting the current one go to voicemail because if she denies it then it's probably going to seem like she's near her phone, and that'll probably make it all worse. The second she can unlock it she's just going to text her coworkers and tell them to email her if they need something. It's about the best she can do.]

Oh, god.
[Bless the universe. Bless everything. It's all so good and wonderful. She relaxes completely, stares up at the ceiling above her and breathes in and out until the heavy panting relaxes into a more normal, rhythmic pattern.] I love you.
[So much.]

[????]
Hey. [There's nothing worse than enthusiastic sex and unfortunately for him, he's easier to read than a book with huge lettering. She's not going to make him stop or anything but she's very easily slipped out of that sort of 'uppity' play she was going for - maybe it wasn't convincing enough or it bothered him? But either way.] What's wrong?
[If nothing else, she'll always go for pure, unfiltered honesty.] Was I putting it on a little too thick?
[Or not enough for him to realize she was messing around in the first place - either way.]

[She snorts and rolls her eyes, but for now it's better to let that go.]
I will concede on one very particular condition.
[And just take a guess at what that condition could be, Boxer! It involves her lips.]
