“I found I could say things with color and shapes
that I couldn’t say any other way—things I had no words for.”
-Georgia O'Keeffe

Techno and y/n were walking down the street towards a large building. The National gallery of London. Y/n had promised to take him there, the moment he took her to the Gallery in San Francisco.

They walked up the stairs which were mossy and grassy on the edge of the columns. Some flowers has began to grow on the edges of the museum.

'I've been here only once' techno said looking up at the roof before entering.

'When?' She asked.

'About four years ago, in high school' he shrugged.

'I'm sorry' she said.

'For what?' he turned towards her.

'You went through a high school trip across sea' she smiled and walked forwards.

'Where should we head first?' he changed the theme and walked towards her in front of the painting.

'Well let's look here first' she said and reached her hand towards the painting.

'Can we take one?' he asked almost jokingly.

'Yeah but we should look for a smaller one' she spoke seriously and stepped back to have a better look.

The pair made their way towards room one where the first few paintings were. The walls were a deep red and the floor was a light gray, nearly white quartz.

Below each painting there was the name of the artist and the year it was made, along with a short description.

The room was spacious and there were a few fairly large paintings along with a few smaller ones. There was somewhat of a certain color theme in the room, green and brown.

There were a few small sculptures on pedestals which were surrounded by glass, since they were quite fragrant.

'I am so fucking glad covid doesn't exist here' y/n suddenly spoke, while walking towards one of the paintings.

'Yeah, life is quite better' techni replied from the other side of the room.

'I have lived here for a bit now and yet I never visited because of that' she looked down.

'I have lived in San Francisco for my whole life and haven't visited most of the places there' he walked up to another painting.

'Ew what the fuck?' Y/n said looking at the painting techno was next to.

'Bellshazard's feast' techno ran his finger on the sign. 'By Rembrandt'

'No, because why is he drawn like that?' she walked up to him.

'I think it looks good' he said and looked at her. 'The detail is quite nice'.

'Yeah the detail is alright but the person drawn' she faked a gag and went back to the painting she was previously looking at.

'I like ugly rennaisance people' he chuckled and kept examining the painting.

'Then look at this baby' y/n nearly laughed and pointed towards one of the paintings.

'I don't even want to know what this child went through' he chuckled.

'Is probably an orphan' y/n laughed with him and took off the glass of one of the sculptures.

'Makes sense' he replied and went to look at the small sculpture.

The sculpture represented a short and chubby female, made off of dark clay, resembling yellow ochre. The sculpture was cracked and broken in some places bit still stable enough.

'That's a Venus' she smiled and gently ran her finger over the figure. 'Things like that were discovered in caves, to represent the birth, and females as a great power'.

'What else?' techno asked with an interest.

'Well it is a fertility representative, as well as an omen for good luck, there could've been ones in each cave, to basically honour females and nature' she said.

Y/n decided to gently lift the figure and hold it in her hands. It was still strong enough not to break apart, despise the time it was made in.

She ran her finger across the cracks of the figure and smiled while doing so. The figure was very small yet it had such a big meaning in her eyes.

Techno put his hand above hers and touched the material of the figure. It felt secure and cold, contrasting the heat emitting from y/n's hands.

'Can i?' he asked and looked at y/n as she nodded and handed him the figure. 'I think I had a lesson or two on those'

'I had a whole term on sculpture' she said and admired the rest of the museum.

'Old art is really good, like rennaisance and before' techno said and placed the figurine back in its place.

'I don't really have a time preference, some modern art is incredible compared to old art and same way around' she said.

'You are a nerd, confirmed' he said. 'Wanna move to the next room?'

'Yeah let's go' y/n agreed and walked to the next room.

-

'Should I play Beethoven?' Y/n asked as she pulled out her phone.

'If it makes you feel better' techno replied and looked at a tall sculpture.

'Do you wanna slow dance in a museum with no one around?' she asked like she was reading something.

'No? Yes? I don't know' he said with a higher voice pitch.

'I am taking the yes' y/n said and she walked up to techno.

A symphony by Beethoven, as she promised started playing and she grabbed techno by the hand and began leading him onto a dance.

He placed his free hand on her shoulder and she placed hers on his waist. She giggled and began dancing in the large room.

They had been dancing for ten minutes, being a laughing mess after techno had stepped on her foot a few times and she tripped them over once too much.

-

'Can I also have that one?' Y/n asked and pointed towards a painting.

Techno sighed and gestured to the three paintings he was carrying underarm. Y/n nodded in response but didnt let go if the painting.

'Alright give me one of them' she reached her hand forward.

'What? No' he said and walked past herm

'Give me so we can both carry two' she said and pulled on of the paintings from behind techno. 'Thank you'.

'I did not agree to this' he sighed and kept walking.

'Of course not, you suggested it' she chuckled and made her way next to him.

'I hate you' he said and shook his head.

'You love me' she smiled whole heartedly at him.

'You wish' he said and mimicked her smile.

'Maybe I do' she said seriously.

'Oh we bold now?' He said sarcastically and looked towards a new painting.

'No, just irritating' she chuckled and walked to the painting techno was looking at.

Y/n and techno were at the last room in the museum after a few hours of walking around. They both took one last look at the museum and walked out.
