For Nokia it was just a simple evening spent cuddling with her boyfriend of two years, Si Woo. She nuzzled deeper into his chest allowing him to tighten his grip on her waist while he shifted his phone slightly.
Her chocolate eyes gazed at the brune with enchantment until he finally looked down at her. As he stared he Took in everything from her curled up body to her slightly messy hair.
"Where do you want to go tonight?" Per usual, his deep voice and perfect face were emotionless but that didn't stop the slight shiver that ran up the young woman's spine.
"W-what?"
"For dinner, where do you want to go?"
"But I don't like eating out."
"You do, it's just you're too focused on my impression of you to actually enjoy yourself." A blush crept onto Nokia's cheeks and she gripped his shirt tighter, shielding her expression from his line of sight.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. Now, where do you want to go tonight?" The room went silent. She closed her eyes, shaking her head that she didn't know.
"We'll go to that café restaurant you like."
"Are you certain?" Her small voice rang against his chest but he ignored it, telling her to go get dressed.
It only took ten minutes before Nokia stood at the door wearing an off the shoulder lace black shirt, a pair of skinny blue jeans and simple silver jewelry.
Gentle arms suddenly pulled her against a strong but slender chest.
"You look good." Whispered the brune, his lips pressing against her pale shoulder.
"You think so?"
"I do." He confirmed, pulling open the front door so that she could walk out into the hallway. The grey carpet floor stretched all the way towards the elevator which the couple used to get to the garage.
The car ride to the restaurant was silent except for multiple attempts at conversation made by Nokia's handsome companion, all of which were failures.
~~~~~~~~~~
Once they arrived at the restaurant, a small smile worked its way onto Nokia's lips. Caramel lights decorated the ceiling while romantically lit candles served as the centerpiece for every table. Their steps clicked softly against the chrome tiled floor.
The waitress that lead the two to their table, wore a warm smile on her lips while she handed them their menus and wrote down their orders. After doing so, she left, allowing Si Woo to be alone with his lover yet again. Not a word was shared between the two of them and they stared at one another intensely.
Self-conscious of the prolonged gazing, Nokia grabbed her phone and opened a random gaming app. Still, not a word left their mouths until her phone was softly pulled from her hands and Si Woo placed it next to him. Leaning his cheek into his palm, he continued to stare at her with those deep amber eyes.
"S...Si Woo?"
"I took you here because you like it."
"I know."
"Then talk to me."
"But there's-"
"Tell me about a dream, a game you played. Hell, I don't care if you decided to talk to me about toilet paper and how it's made. As long as I get to hear your voice." Sincerity was evident in the brune's voice but his face still stayed blank, reminding the girl that the man before her was still her Si Woo and not some imposter.
"Why the sudden request?" Her own voice came out weak and small but she knew he could still hear her.
"I ask you every time I try to start a conversation. This is just the first time I've said it directly. I know you're scared that I might judge you, but what you don't know is that, if I were one to judge, then I'd have left the very second day of us being together."
"But what if I annoy you?"
"You're my girlfriend, that's kind of your job." A laugh escaped Nokia, her eyes squinting closed from the action. Her soft tanned cheeks turned upwards while her lips parted causing little wrinkles to form. She continued to laugh for a bit longer until she recognized what she was doing.
Instinctively, the noirette woman began to raise a hand to her lips hiding the expression but Si Woo gripped her wrist, preventing her from doing so.
"You're beautiful. Don't hide that." She shook her head and his already dark eyes went darker in hurt for her. When the waitress cleared her throat, Si Woo finally took notice of her and pulled away so she could give them their food.
Immersed in silence once again, the couple ate and when it was time to leave, Si Woo paid the bill. Reluctantly, he handed Nokia back her phone and the two of them went home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Si Woo, I'm sorry." Whimpered the young woman, hiding her face against his chest, cuddling him against their shared mattress.
"Don't be."
"But you looked happy when I laughed."
"I was."
"So I ruined your mood by stopping myself."
"Nokia, it's not something you can help. You're just scared and that's okay." Her heart pounded in her chest at the handsome man's caring words. He seemed so genuine despite the fact that his tone and expression were the same as usual. It warmed her up, to say the least, and for a second, just for a second, she smiled.
