oh, what were you watching! i could do a movie night— [ he grins, shaking his head for a moment; realizing he sounded a bit too eager for a moment. he chuckles nervously. ] i-if that’s alright with you?

            well isn’t this a sweet surprise!  thank you for the candy.  come in—-  i was just watching a movie.  i was actually going to text you but it looks like you read my mind.

            hmm—-   [ she lets it sit,  letting the vibration of her hum sound.  a smile begins to form. ]   can i have a hint?    [ she playfully asks,  a soft giggle slipping out. ]

            okay,  count me in.  you know i always love a good tip.   [ she offers the other a knowing smile,  adjusting the coat that clung to her. ]

            i said it’s time for break.  ( .. )  you alright? 

⋆.ೃ࿔ @godlyhuntings  ❜͟  
            
            no no—-  it’s okay.  really!  i just would’ve planned better,  that’s all.  i can cancel and reschedule.  it’s seriously not a problem at all.  

sorry— julia let me in. i didn’t know i (…) i should’ve texted, that’s my bad.

            thank you.  i was just going to go out to meet with a friend.  i wasn’t expecting you to come over—-

            he really is.    [ she mutters,  looking down to the floor before back up to him.  while she wasn’t there for their conversation,  she knew exactly what aaron meant.  the sight of his expression causes a smile of her own to form.  his words give her a sense of reassurance she didn’t realize she needed. ]    i want to keep seeing you too.  you’re my best friend ..  and i don’t know what i would do without you.  

i know he’s coming from a good place (..) he’s just kinda intense. [ lips pressed into a thin line as he recalled their conversation curved in a small smile, any worry ceasing from his features. ] we’re good. all respect to ben— but he’s not gonna prevent me from seeing you.

            don’t even worry about it.  i’m sorry that he got all  ..  you know.  he forgets that i’m capable of making my own decisions.  and that i’m an adult.    [ she lets out a small scoff and then there’s a pause.  something in her expression softens. ]    we’re okay?  right?

            [ from her side of the table,  the world narrows in an inconvenient way.  she’s suddenly hyper-aware of the space between them closing—-  of how careful he’s being,  like he knows this is a line and doesn’t want to cross it without her letting him.  his thumb brushes just at the corner of her mouth,  warm and gentle,  barely there.  it should be nothing.  it is nothing.  and yet,  her chest becomes warm anyway.  when he pulls his hand away,  she exhales a quiet laugh she didn’t realize she was holding. ]    thank you.  what would i do without you?   

[ reaching over, he pauses, the thought only crossing his mind to grab more napkins once his finger had already landed on the corner of her lip. his eyes meet hers for a moment before hyper-focusing on the spot. gently, he brushes it away. he smiles, the kind tugging on his lips that usually did when her hand brushed against his forehead a second too long. ] there, you’re all good. 

⋆.ೃ࿔ @godlyhuntings  ❜͟  
            
            oh—-  i didn’t even realize.   [ dark eyes widen slightly as she places her fork down,  a hand automatically raising to cover her mouth.  embarrassed,  she hesitates—-  but instead of reaching for the napkin,  she lets him,  giving him a small nod and resting her hand on her lap once again. ]    

⋆.ೃ࿔ @godlyhuntings  ❜͟  
            
            i’d like that very much.   [ she nods,  lips curving into a bright smile up to him. ]   where would we even go?  

⋆.ೃ࿔ @godlyhuntings  ❜͟  
            
            that’s better.   [ it’s written across her face, too.  her hold on the crossbow is adjusted,  the weight becoming more manageable with each session they have.  she raises it,  aiming it at the price of fruit.  a quiet breath slips past her lips as her finger rests atop of the trigger.  finally,  she applies pressure to the trigger and an arrow shoots through the air to the apple.  it sticks on the right side,  just a hair shy of missing.  her eyes widen,  an excited type of surprised. ]   no way!  

fine fine— then, [ he pulls it from his head, after attempting to see if it would even stay on straight and leans over, placing it on at the balcony table, ] try this first.

            i don’t know ..  this could go really bad if i miss.  

he’s close to you and knows you better than most people— i figured it was a good sign if he didn’t (..) stir when i was around. does he have a name or is that a weird question?

⋆.ೃ࿔ @godlyhuntings  ❜͟   
            
            i believe so—-  actually,  i take that back.  i k͟n͟o͟w͟ he does.   ( .. )   why do you ask?
