[ loud knocking in the middle of the night would usually elict a much more cautious response from Sonico in a place like this -- but that particular knock has her on her feet in moments and to the door as fast as her legs will take her.
She's still half-asleep and it takes her a moment of fumbling with the lock to get it to click and she pulls open the door to look out. ]
T--Tohru-san, what happened...? It's the middle of the night... is everything okay?
[Adachi stands there, his tie and suit jacket missing - presumably left behind in his room. As soon as the door's open he's trying to make his way inside]
Y-Yeah... [He sounds somewhat off... like he's distracted] Nothing happened, I-I just really needed to see you.
[ there's something about his voice that bothers her -- despite his words, his assurances that there's nothing wrong, there's something about this that... is off. Very off.
But despite that, she steps aside to let him in, shutting the door behind him once she does so, without a second thought. ]
See me...? What for? It's pretty late... Tohru-san, are you sure nothing happened?
[ she lets out a sharp noise of surprise when his arms go around her and he's holding her tightly enough that she's a little uncomfortable. Her hands end up trapped between them in the embrace and she's about to ask just what's going on when--
-- he tells her and she falls silent.
For a long, long moment she just stands there and then she feels her face flood with heat and she knows her cheeks must be crimson red. ]
[ well that already gets her to weaken. When she feels his teeth scrape against her skin, she tenses up in surprise, letting out a small "ah!" that she can't quite silence in time. She's... not pulling back or anything, but the way she's holding herself makes it clear she's not quite giving him the okay. ]
Th--thinking about this...? What do you mean? I-- what's brought this on so suddenly?
[He doesn't respond to her with words this time, instead he pulls his head away from her neck in order to kiss her on the lips.
But unlike all the other times he's kissed her where he was gentle and cautious albeit maybe also clumsy and awkward, this time he's forceful and desperate.]
[ that somehow is the thing that makes her draw back. They're still pressed together, but she pushes away from him just enough to break away from the kiss -- she's blushing furiously and her expression is hard to read; she looks apprehensive, almost and she's definitely unsure.
This... isn't like Adachi. He's being a little too pushy and a little too forward and despite his assurances that nothing had happened she's... worried. This is so out of character for him that she can't bring herself to be completely comfortable with this. ]
Pl--please... just tell me why you're acting like this all of a sudden...!
She stares at him and then her cheeks flush an even deeper shade of red. Something seems to change in her eyes -- the apprehension is still there, but it's a little different now. And she seems to relax in his arms, just a little -- no longer leaning away from him. ]
Tohru-san, I...
[ she drops her gaze, too embarrassed to look right at him as she says it. ]
I--I love you, too. But-- i--it's not like I'd hate this but I just-- it's kind of sudden...!
[ the longer he talks, the more she relaxes in his arms and the more of that apprehension leaves her eyes. He's... scared? Well, of course he is, being stuck in this place. But between this and the letter... he's acting like he doesn't expect to survive the week.
Her stomach twists.
For a moment, she just stares at him. And then, hesitantly, she leans forward and meets him in a brief, chaste kiss. ]
I... like I said, I don't hate... the idea of us doing this. You just caught me off guard a little.
[ she gives him a wan smile. ]
But... if you really want to th--then... it's fine. Really.
[ she lets out a low, breathy noise when his lips meet her neck and she seems to soften, weaken against him. Her head tips almost lazily to rest against his and she follows that low noise with a sigh.
This... is nice. She's not sure if she'll feel just as at ease with everything else but... this, at least, is nice. ]
T--Tohru-san... are you... Are you really sure? Th--that you want to do this, I mean.
[Moves away from her neck again, and removes one of his arms, only to tighten the other one. With his now free hand he tips her chin up.
There's something... somewhat devious about his smile and the glint in his eyes, and his voice is a bit more breathy and drawly than usual]
I've never been more sure of anything in my entire life.
[And with that he kisses her again, not as forceful as last time, but still pretty dominating and demanding, hand making sure she can't pull away as easily from him this time.]
Something about the way he's acting, the way he's talking even the way he's looking at her -- it's different, so jarringly different from how he usually is that it seems almost completely out of character.
His arm is tight enough that the embrace actually hurts a little but she makes no attempt to pull back. He said he loves her, she believes him and she loves him too so this is... fine. Right?
Right.
She returns the kiss, not quite as forcefully -- in fact, she's almost timid, which shouldn't be that much of a surprise. ]
[ princesses don't get barged in on in the middle of the night!
... Is what she thinks, but not what she says. Because... well, even in a place like this, the idea of being treated like that by the person she loves isn't exactly unappealing.
And... he's acting more like himself now. More like the Adachi she knows. And it's with that thought that she leans up to meet him in another shy kits. ]
...Or maybe more like a villain wanting to take the princess for himself BUT YOU KNOW...
The kiss makes him happy though and he cheerfully returns it, before arriving at the bed and setting her down. He doesn't exactly do it gently (mostly because his arms were starting to give out THERE'S ONLY SO LONG HE CAN CARRY HER WITHOUT THE ADRENALINE RUSH TO HELP) but it not rough either, just kind of clumsy and maybe a little impatient.]
[ clumsy and impatient is fine. It's more like the usual Adachi, and it makes her more comfortable with this. Being carried to her bed, having him call her a princesses -- she'd be a liar if she tried to say she wasn't, to since extent, enjoying it.
Her hair ends up fanned out under her as he lies her down and she's smiling weakly, nervously. ]
Is... Is there anything you want me to do, Tohru-san?
[Adachi takes a moment to remove his belt - and only his belt - to save time later, before joining her on the bed. He hovers over her, hands finding their way to hers, keeping them up high by her head, fingers entwining and palms pinning them down. It looks for all the world like a sweet romantic gesture, holding hands before foreplay, but in reality it's just another way for him to keep her right he wants her.
He's quiet for a moment, taking in the sight of her beneath him and privately relishing in it. He's wanted this for so long - waited and waited and dreamed and dreamed. He idly wonders if she'll react in the same ways tonight as he always fantasized she would...
At the thought of that he smiles and speaks in that low voice once more.]
Just be yourself - the you that I fell in love with.
[He dips his head down to give her another kiss, still aggressive as he does so - although maybe that aggression is just passion?]

Careful though Adachi, calm yourself down. You won her over with honey-like charm, you can't ruin this now with vinegar.
He puts on his best hurt expression]
Sonico-chan... I love you. And every night I think about you.
I can't take it anymore.

That certainly changes things.
