"It's good that you're not gonna betray us," Sven muttered. "But you're capable."
Burt looked down.
"Yeah... I am..." he mumbled.
"Luckily for you," Sven went on, touching Burt's shoulder. "I don't think you would."
Why do I trust him? He just joined! He's not trustworthy!
"Oh, Sven."
Sven turned to see a blonde female with a dark blue top hat and lighter blue earrings that protruded from her hair.
"You're out of your office, for the first time in God knows how long," she scoffed. "How's the sun, vampire?"
"Blinding," Sven replied.
"It does that."
"Are you here for something, Earrings?"
"No, not really. I just wanted to know what you were doing out of your office. And what you were doing with that new Toppat. And why there's paperwork on the floor."
Sven made a small exclamation and looked down to see papers scattered across the floor. He immediately ducked down, then bumped heads with Burt, who had knelt at the same time.
Sven gazed into his eyes before shaking his head and sat down on the ground, gathering all the papers together. Burt did the same. He handed them to Sven and touched his hands, making him squeak quietly and quickly take the papers in his hands.
"Th-Thanks, Burt," he stammered before standing upright.
"No problem, Sven." The new Toppat smiled, making Sven's heart skip a beat.
What's this new feeling?! Why does everything he say make me wanna melt?!
Sounds like love, the other part of his mind stated.
I can't be in love with Burt! I literally just met him!
Sven cleared his throat daintily and stacked the papers neatly in his arms.
"I should go give these to Carol..." he said, looking back down the hallway.
"Don't worry about that, boss. I'll take them." Earrings stepped forward and took the papers from his hands.
Their hands touched, but... The same feeling didn't overcome Sven. The one where he just wanted to fall right over, a blushing mess. No, it just felt like a normal interaction.
Why is it different with Burt?! WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?!
Despite internally screaming, Sven remained calm on the exterior. "Thank you, Earrings." He smiled and turned back to Burt, hearing her walk away.
"Can you show me around the airship?" Burt asked, squeezing his hand.
"O-Oh... Of course..." Sven was mesmerized by his eyes. There was just something magical to them, even though they were dull and cold.
Maybe the fact that they gave off a cold and warm aura at the same time.
Sven's icy blue eyes contradicted with them. Not in a bad way, they just kinda mingled together.
Burt's eyes were like a net, and Sven's eyes were like a fish.
He was caught.
