[She's putting the finishing touches on her own monstrosity, so he has a few more minutes to enjoy his crown-free life. As soon as he sits up, though...]
It's too small to be wreath! I could make an even bigger one, though? [Hmm. She shoots him an amused look.] Or maybe you should make a bigger one so I can take a nap.
I dunno how, and you can't teach me if you take a nap, so I guess not!
[So there!! He grins and pointedly folds his arms behind his head, staying right down here on the ground, where it's comfy and relaxing. No sitting up is on the immediate agenda, sadly.]
[Touché, but what a punk! He's going to sit up whether he likes it or not!! She's almost done tying her crown together, so just wait, Okuyasu... just wait...]
Really? But you won't have anyone to talk to if I take a nap, so then you'll get bored and fall asleep again.
[Does their ~calming touch~ work on each other? Do they even still have that ability? Mysterious. Anyway, she sets her finished crown to the side as she gives him a knowing look. Hmm. Hmm.]
[Forever, then? That's what she's getting from that, which is why she smiles down at him for a moment longer before she just... shrugs. Sure, Okuyasu. Okay.
And then, hoping that he's too lazy to dodge it, she reaches right over to gently smack him on the arm. It's time to get up!!]
[This is the best kind of flir—friendly teasing. Ochako watches him drift right up, unable to keep herself from giggling as she pushes herself to her feet.]
You were going to take forever to get up, weren't you? Admit it!
[Not that she sounds the least bit mad about it. Making him float like this is an A+ treat!]
[Okuyasu, having learned nothing from the first time this happened, is already teetering close to floating fully upside down again because he tried to hold onto the ground. Help, this is... too buck wild... He tries pushing off said ground to right himself, but there's nothing to stop him from just slowly spinning.]
No way! [Yes way.] I just didn't want you to fall asleep again, a-and this was the quickest way to get you up, so...
[So she cheated, basically, but this is what he gets for being stubborn. He thought that he'd look ridiculous in the flower crown? Well, now he looks ridiculous spinning about in midair, and she doesn't even try to stop her giggles from turning into full-on laughter. There is something the tiniest—tiniest—bit pathetic about seeing him struggle like he is, though, and so, after letting him flail about for a bit longer, she holds out a hand for him to grab on to. It's a peace offering.]
[He's going to get dizzy and look even dumber pretty soon, just wait. Right now he still has just enough dignity left to give her a look as he drifts slowly, like this is a minor inconvenience and definitely not the real problem of his feet refusing to stay on the ground.]
I think you're messing with me.
[He knows... but this isn't as startling as the first time he got floated away, so he reaches out to take her hand with a slight scoff. Please don't float him even higher away, he's putting his trust in her for real here!!]
[As if Ochako would do such a mean thing? She's still laughing at him, it's true, but she does pull him into an upright position in an attempt to make this all a bit easier for him. She'll even let him continue holding on to her hand when she's through, just in case he, you know, wants that extra little bit of support. He's not going to fly away any time soon.]
It's not so bad when you're like this, right? It's kind of fun!
[Is it that he wants extra floating support or wants to hold her hand... gee... he literally does need her to hold onto him so he doesn't overbalance, though, so good call - he's going to hold her hand.
Even though he's not that high off the ground, he still shields his eyes with his other hand, like he's looking down at her from sooo high up.]
Yeah, and you're even shorter now. [ZING... master comedian.]
[She isn't particularly sensitive about her height, so all he's getting in response to that charming comment is a shrug? Listen, buddy, she's the one who has all of the power here, and she knows it. Try again.]
What do you think I'd look like from even higher up?
[Oh, is she trying to... slowly pull her hand away...]
[He's a simple boy with simple humor and this is as far as it goes. But look, he's immediately looking more wide-eyed and concerned when she tries to pull her hand away, now grabbing her hand with both of his.]
[His reaction is much less funny than she'd thought it would be? She'd expected some silly comment about him not being able to see her at all, hardy-har-har, but that look on his face is...]
Okuyasu! [The laughter is definitely done!!] You didn't really think that I was going to let go, did you?
[Because she would never. Look, this wasn't meant to be a trust exercise!]
["Not when you say it like that," aka, "Yeah, I totally did." Dang, what is with the lack of faith? She would never, ever let him float into space, and while she's still smiling... hmm, keeping him in the air suddenly isn't that fun at all.]
I promise that I wasn't. And I'll even let you down if you want me to, but... I kind of need my hand back for that?
[Look, she definitely floated him as a punishment the first time--]
Oh, right. [......okay, he'll let go, nervously. Immediately he starts kind of waving his arms, ostensibly to maintain balance, but this will probably make it worse. Please spare him this shame.]

It's kinda more like a flower scarf, huh? Maybe I oughta hang it on my door like a wreath.
[See, he can appreciate it but not put it on his head. Flawless.]

If you wanna take a nap, feel free.

no subject
Then I guess we're both gonna take a nap and nobody's gonna play with more flowers.
no subject
I think I'll stay awake, then. I really want to see how your flower crown fits! And you are going to wear it, aren't you?
[Because this is totally what this is all about, isn't it? Somebody is being a baby.]
no subject
Sure, eventually. [Look how comfortable he is?] For a couple minutes.
no subject
Why not now?
no subject
Don't read him like this. He can feel it.]
'Cause I'm doing this.
[He gestures; "this," of course, is "just lying here like a lazy asshole." It's important.]
no subject
[Fess up or float!!]
no subject
How long are you gonna gimme that look? That long.

[It's too late, he grabs a handful of grass lamely to hold on, but it's too late. Goodbye, Okuyasu...]

Not—not when you say it like that... [he's made his mistakes...]
no subject
I promise that I wasn't. And I'll even let you down if you want me to, but... I kind of need my hand back for that?
[The hand he's holding on to for dear life.]
