[Taking notice of the state of the room reminds him of his budding frustration that she's still keeping herself here in the first place, when she's had a much better option practically gift-wrapped and delivered to her. But there's a time and place to nag her about that, and it isn't now.]

Okay. [Malcolm takes the invitation to sit down beside her, casually scuffling the toe of his shoe across the floor in front of them. There are so many swirling uncertainties right now, he can't even grab hold of a single one of them. To say his brain is like soup isn't quite the apt metaphor. Maybe more like soup that's threatening to boil over. He lets out a frustrated sigh and twists his hands together in his lap.]

Listen, Eponine, I-- [Right. The whole... stopping thing. Malcolm gives up, cuts himself off there, and leans in to give Eponine that very kiss she'd been so patient in asking for, lips sealed to hers.]

[As soon as Eponine coaxes him to deepen it, he does just that, unthreading their fingers so he can rest a hand on her shoulder. Once she drifts back from him, Malcolm opens his eyes, blinking as the room refocuses.]

I'm supposed to be the one who asks that. [A quiet, wry laugh.] But-- yes. Of course.

[He hadn't imagined her to be the type to second-guess her kissing. It's actually quite endearing. Malcolm smiles and moves his hand from her shoulder to sweep his fingers through a lock of her hair, affectionately tucking it behind her ear.]

Do you want to keep going?

[Because even if she thinks he's 'nice', he's also an 18 year old guy, and... well, yeah. He may not want to be a creeper, but he'll still happily take any physical touch where he can get it.

The compliment does make him smile though, perhaps a bit shyly himself. Malcolm turns his head to kiss the back of Eponine's fingers where she's touched his face, and his thumb casually brushes against her jawline.

[Malcolm watches as Eponine pulls back enough to take her top off. Damn, but that was unexpected. Unexpected, but certainly not unpleasantly so. He'd meant to ease into it with more kissing, but this is completely fine, too.

To match, he reaches behind his head to pull his t-shirt up and off, tossing it somewhere to the corner of the bed and shifting closer.

You're really pretty.

[And he sounds like a complete moron. Great.

Malcolm's hands slide over her smooth shoulders, and he bends in to kiss her some more, light on the corner of her mouth. Then he's capturing her lips more firmly, and his palms drag over the swell of her breasts, rough fingertips dipping under her bra before moving around to splay across her back and catch hold of the fastenings there.
