Lily beamed when seeing him get flustered, even if she ended up not being too much better. "Well, you also don't get to see your own reactions," She pointed out casually. "so you don't get to see how cute they are. And with how stoic you are otherwise, it just makes it all the better."
Why yes at this point she can't help but tease him a little more.
She was perfectly content to lean into him, only moving enough to take one of his hands into her own so she could play with it, both as further evidence that she's happy to have this contact with him, and to resist the urge to keep poking at his face.

Lily holds her arms out slightly towards Dawnbreaker, hoping to make it so he won't feel bad if he refuses her invitation.
"Would you like a hug?"
His eyes light up briefly at the prospect of physical comfort.
"...Yes, I would."
He steps towards her, enveloping her in a gentle embrace to avoid causing her any discomfort, despite his wishes. He leans his forehead on her shoulder, closing his eyes.

"I'm fine, don't worry... it's just a scratch. What about you? Isn't it a nope day? You should lie down..."
"I'm still going to worry," she insisted stubbornly, her eyebrows furrowed, "Sit down for now, I'll be right back."
As much as she knows she should listen to him and sit down, trust him to tend to himself, not over do it... She can't help but fuss. Is she going to pay for it later? Probably. But it's worth it to know he's okay now.
So she shuffled her way to the bathroom, grabbing a hair tie and messily pulling it back and out of the way for the time being. Once relatively satisfied with that, and once again dismissing the thought that short hair would be easier to deal with on days like this, she grabbed her first aid kit from under the sink and shuffled her way back to Xavier.
Very doting, for sure! It's sweet of him to be so determined, but if he's not careful then I really will run out of room for his gifts!
Not instead of working, no! Just on breaks and stuff.
...
Okay maybe sometimes instead of working on paperwork. Not my fault paperwork is boring! ;-;
Lillllyyyyy. God, can you please tell Xavier to stop spamming me pics every time he wins you a plushie. I get it.
He's what?
Xavier- ugh. Sweet of him to be so excited, but I'm sorry he's dragging you into this >//~//<
I'll see if I can get him to stop spamming you so bad.
On the bright side... At least he wants to share his successes with you? Maybe? ^-^"
Or send “I trust you” for the opposite scenario.
Lillly ugh I'm so tired from my mission. I don't think I'm hydrated enough. Wait, ohmigod I forgot didn't you have a doctor appointment? How did it go? Did Xavier go with you??
Do you need me to bring you some water?? Please take it easy...
Yes, yes I did have a doctor's appointment, and it went about like they always do, honestly. Xav did go with me, he tries to tag along whenever he can. I'm pretty sure he ended up asking more questions than I did, honestly!
Send ❄️ to throw a snowball at Lily!
Lily yelped in surprise at the sudden impact before turning to Rafayel, seeming almost offended for all of... two seconds.
A wide grin spread across her face as she leaned down to make a snowball of her own. "Are you sure you want to play this game~?" she asked playfully, glancing up at him from where her hands were making quick work of the snow.
Lily gave a thoughtful hum as she considered their options. She kept near Xavier but still managed to avoid the other people on the sidewalk with ease.
"Maybeeee sushi? Or a new type of pizza?" She suggested after some thought.
After spending the morning doing research on places in Linkon City that offer milk tea, Lily finally found a place that seemed like it would be a nice place to visit and had the coffee milk tea that Xavier mentioned. Plus it wasn't far from a few good places to eat so they'd have options based on what they were feeling up to without having to go all the way across town. Perfect.
Lily finally sent Xavier a text in the late morning.
'I found a place that has that coffee milk tea you mentioned! And it has really good reviews.'
After a moment of thought, she sent another text as well.
'And thank you for walking me home last night. I really appreciated it. It was nice, looking at the stars with you.'
If not for the sporadic texts, Xavier would still be asleep. Outside the birds that often bickered over his balcony were squawking at a volume loudly. The combination of factors is enough to stir him, just barely. He knows its her before having to unlock his phone.
↪[ Audio: I'm awake. I'm up. I'm coming. ]
↪[ It was nice. Let's do it again sometime ]
In a flash he rinses off, takes care of basic hygiene, and is donning a favored hoodie in spite of the weather.
By the time he gets downstairs, he's already rubbing his eyes again as he knocks on the door.
"I have to try and be good about it," Lily admitted with a small sigh, absolutely pouting a little bit to herself, "I don't need to go making it harder on myself to function by not maintaining a sleep schedule... plus my body tends to refuse staying up late anyways if it can help it." She hummed, laughing a little. "I remember trying to pull all nighters when I was studying for the entrance exam for the Association... but I just never could, no matter how hard I tried."
She couldn't help but doubt his comment regarding how cozy places are, since she's caught him sleeping standing up a few times. But... he must be trying to dismiss it for a reason, so she wouldn't press too much more.
"Probably a familiar one? Maybeeee one of the racing games?" She suggested, tilting her head as she looked at him. She could definitely feel the heat too, but had the advantage of her ponytail keeping her hair off her neck so it wasn't quite as stifling for her... yet.
