Grumbling and murmuring to himself, Finn pulled his shirt back on and began doing up the buttons. Halfway up, he stopped suddenly as an idea popped into his brain. Slowly doing himself back up, Finn tried to ask it casually. "So does that mean with it back on I'm allowed to try something now?" he questioned with a raised eyebrow, but stuck out his tongue jokingly. Still, was that what was being implied? Probably not.
Finn let his fingertips run slowly across Keagan's shoulders, and then cracked each of his knuckles before going to work. He warmed up his ice-block hands first before he pressed down lightly and began kneading around.

'Depends on what you mean by 'try something,'" Keagan replied, raising her eyebrow as well in a challenge. Of course, she didn't expect him to do anything extreme, so her challenge was more a joke than anything else. "Let's just say the rules are a bit more relaxed, now."
Turning her back to Finn, Keagan tucked a lock of hair behind her ear - admittedly, it wasn't as neat as it had been that morning. She then felt the cold touch of Finn's fingers on her shoulders and she couldn't help the semi-violent shiver that ran down her back. The annoying sound of cracking knuckles calmed her down enough, though, that when the Ravenclaw's hands began their massage it wasn't entirely painful.

Accepting the challenge with eye contact, Finn simply narrowed his so they were no more than slits. He said nothing in response but glared in a threatening yet playful way at Keagan, even scowling slightly. He knew he was a dork, but whatever. He didn't actually have anything good to retort with.
"Does it hurt?" he asked, lightening up slightly so that he didn't hurt her. Finn didn't actually know how hard he was pushing and he didn't know what kind of pain tolerance Keagan had. Still, he didn't want to do anything that would hurt. Keagan's massage to him had been amazing, and Finn didn't want to screw hers up.

Keagan could only laugh at the expression Finn used to respond to her challenge. She playfully boxed his arm and shook her head at him. That's when she turned around.
"Nyuh," Keagan responded at first, half answer, half groan. Her arms still cold, she squeezed her hands together tightly as she let her eyes slip shut. "It's supposed to hurt, though, isn't it?" she asked, rolling her shoulders.

"Well, its not supposed to be so excruciating that you want to jab your eyes out to take the focus off your back..." Finn replied, somewhat defiantly. He didn't really think he was that bad at it, so he lightened up even more, now barely even pressing down an only rubbing around her shoulders lightly.
"I apologize for my lack of skill," he confessed eventually, "And for my freezing hands. It's usually my feet that are ice-block cold."

Keagan snorted at Finn's retort. "If it was that bad, I wouldn't be sitting on this bed in front of you anymore. That's a fact," she stated, leaning back toward him slightly, bringing her feet to cross indian-style beneath her.
The Gryffindor's shoulders twitched under the gentle caresses of Finn's hands. "They're not that cold," she said, fibbing a bit, but only a little bit. She tilted her head toward her shoulder as her shoulders twitched yet again. "And that tickles."

"Sorry," he apologized sincerely, "I was trying to not go too hard." Stopping for a moment, Finn blew on his hands again and rubbed them together, trying to warm them up a bit more. Finn began kneading his fingers in her back again.
"Any knots?" he questioned.

"Would you stop apologizing?" Keagan asked with a laugh. She leaned backwards to lean her shoulders against Finn's chest and look up at him. "It's fine; stop worrying."
The Gryffindor tilted her head side to side to try and find any places of tension in her back, but she couldn't find anything that really needed attention. "Not really, actually. I'm uncannily relaxed." Maybe it was the fact that she'd been relaxing all day with Finn, or just his presence, but she felt reassuringly comfortable right now.
"Here, give me your hands," she directed randomly.

"I'm sorry, I always apolo--" but he stopped again, realizing he'd just apologized for apologizing, "I'll just not say anything." Finn laughed a himself rolling his eyes at his own lack of common sense. He was such a dolt, it was almost sad. More funny than sad, but still sad in it's own sad little way. Sad.
Anyways, at Keagan's sudden direction, Finn raised a curious eye brow but said nothing, as promised before. Instead, he reached his hands out for Keag to do whatever it was that she had in mind. Deciding it was safe to speak (as long as he wasn't apologizing), Finn questioned her actions. "May I ask exactly what it is you're doing?" the Welsh boy asked curiously.

Keagan leaned backward again and kissed the underside of Finn's chin as he reached out his hands. "Silly," she stated, before looking down again and clasping his hands in hers. Scooting back a slight bit more, Keagan brought his arms slowly around her, wrapping them around her middle until she was enveloped in his arms.
"Isn't it obvious?" she inquired when she was done, sure that Finn would've gotten the jist of it himself. "I think I like this more than your massage. No offense."

The corner of Finn's mouth twitched as a broad smile fought its way back onto the Ravenclaw boy's face and he greeted it gladly. The smile plastered its way across his lips as he felt Keagan wrapping his arms around her body and he hugged her tightly, letting his chin rest softly of her head. Finn's left leg stretched out beside Keagan and the older stayed folded up under him and he kissed her head softly, her scent filling his nose as it always did.
"I'd have to agree with that one," Finn whispered in her ear, still smiling. He was quite content with just sitting there, her in his arms despite the alarming level of cheesiness that was hovering over that comment. He didn't really care, it was the truth. He felt he could be as cheesy as he wanted and it would all still be true. It was just one of those things.

"I thought you would," Keagan replied cheekily, leaning her head back against Finn's shoulder and tilting her head toward his. She remained silent for a few moments, basking in the warmth of his body that was quickly extending to hers. But Keagan has trouble staying quiet for long, unless she feels dared to.
"I'll admit, though," she started in a whisper that some might call suggestive. "It felt nice, having your hands on my back."

Finn smiled down at the girl as she leaned back on him. His eyes focused on hers for a moment but he made himself look away before he got lost again. He sighed contently, just enjoying himself sitting there with her. Until she spoke again.
Finn gulped slightly. The way she'd said it...he shifted in his seat slightly. Finn swallowed hard, trying to find his voice again, but it had decided to run off once more, along with reasoning and rationally thinking. Maybe he'd heard it wrong and it wasn't supposed to sound the way it had. On the other hand, maybe Keagan had meant it that way. Shaking his head subtly, Finn tried to make sense of it.
"Really?" he choked out eventually, but finally found his voice to speak regularly, "Me too. I like the feeling of your skin. It's soft." Finn ran his hands softly along Keag's bare arms, feeling that soft skin under his hands.

Keagan's eyes fell shut as she smiled, pleased with herself for getting the reaction she did out of him.
"Is it?" she asked, wondering if her skin was really as soft as Finn thought it was. Before he answered here, though, Keagan felt Finn's slightly coarse hands on her bare arms. "Mmmm."

Hearing Keagan's "mmm", Finn smiled even broader. It was always a good reaction to get and he was glad that he'd gotten one. Made him figure he was doing something right at least. However, the reaction also caused his impulse-control (what there was of it) to shut off immediately and he leaned down to whisper in her ear.
"Why won't you let me love you?" he asked her softly, knowing the answer already, but still trying to fight it, "Give me a chance to show you I'll stand by you, no matter what." Finn knew that the moment it all registered, he's regret it. Unfortunately, that was already starting.
"I'm sorry," he muttered softly, pulling back and loosening his grip in case she wanted out.
