[    leaning against the sun warmed stone of auradons towering facade.   golden light pooled over the carved arches above them,     throwing long shadows across the wall.       ]      dinner?    [   he repeated,   a brow lifted.    ]         you’re negotiating before you’ve even made it halfway up.        [          a crooked smile found its way onto his face,           as he nudged the poster lightly against the other his chest.     ]       tell you what,     you do this effortless without us getting caught.    dinner is on me.      [     he  stepped back, giving him room, though he didn't stray far.        his  hands slipped into the pockets of his jacket,     eyes following every movement toward the stone wall.      ]        but if you fall..   i’m pretending,   i don’t know you.

@sobrllama       [he tilted his head back,   dark brown eyes following the line of the grand building as afternoon light spilled across pale stone and towering arched windows.  ivy crept lazily around craved pillars,  softened the regal architecture with living green while banners stirred overhead in a warm breeze.   courtyard hummed with distant chatter,   students drifting between classes beneath flowering trees whose petals gathered in quiet swirls along cobblestones.]         you mean,    that spot?   you gonna get me expelled.    [a pause,    almost hesitant.     yet,   an amused chuckle surpassed. calloused fingers brushed over the weathered stone,   searching for handholds.]     i mean,    i have scaled worse.     fine.     but you owe me dinner,  after this.

never.    actually,  i just finished five energy drinks.  —-   :D     so?  i don’t care.      [    a thoughtful pause.     ]        you think you can get up that high?

you’re gonna cut your finger  ..     let me help 

frogkisser

there you are.     [she nodded toward the knife,  eyes flickering between his hand and his face.] see? no dramatic injuries. no tragic kitchen tale for the royal archives.     [a soft graceful,  laugh escaped her, bright as sunlight spilling through the windows. she turned back toward the counter, brushing a few stray herbs aside before looking over her shoulder at him.]     and for the record, i never said you were a reckless street performer.    [a pause.]   i said you had the confidence of one.   which, considering your family history, is honestly not surprising.     but, i’ll admit you’re learning.

@frogkisser        [astonished,   the way she could turn a warning into something almost gentle, that made it difficult to argue.    his fingers remained wrapped around the knife, but the sharpness in his expression had already faded.] you make it sound like i’m some reckless street performer juggling blades for applause.       [a quiet huff escaped him,  though the ghost of a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. he glanced down at his hand, then deliberately adjusted his grip, tucking his fingers the way she had told him.]      there.    satisfied?        also,  i wouldn’t bleed on your chopping board.  [dark brown eyes flickered back to hers,   a playful challenge hidden beneath the sincerity.]    i have enough survival instincts to know that would probably be the more dangerous mistake.

[her laugh arrived softly, scarcely louder than the quiet hiss of the pan, though it carried the warmth of river water beneath the morning sun. she did not look at him. instead, her fingers folded another sprig of thyme between her palms, crushing its fragrance into the air before she finally turned.   there it was —   that stubborn little crease between his brows. pride, wrapped in borrowed confidence.]        i know.   that’s what worries me.     someone who doesn’t know how to hold a knife are careful,     it’s the ones who think they’ve mastered it that stop respecting the edge.         [her eyes lifted to his, amber catching the kitchen light like honey stirred into tea.]    besides,    if you cut yourself i’ll have to listen to you insist it’s barely a scratch while bleeding all over my chopping board.        [amused smile,   she reached past him with effortless familiarity, nudging the bowl a closer to where he stood.]   so,   keep your fingers tucked.    yeah?

@beauzzz      [dark brows furrowed as she’d walked past him in the hallway,    a familiar scent of roses lingering long after she’d disappeared behind him.     her words were barely more a whisper, nearly swallowed by the hush of the corridor yet enough to make him stop.   he turned,  confusion settling across otherwise stern features.  brown eyes followed her retreating figure.]      wait,   what..?      [the question left him quieter than intended,  now looking at her.  he felt the weight of something unspoken beneath graceful smile,   practiced poise.   heavy enough to be felt.]       you’re not just going to walk away, after saying something like that.      [a pause.] what do you mean?

the worst thing in the world can happen,

[under the blanket of midsummer night’s sky, they are safe and solitary; senses yielded, duty casted aside. completely untethered to a world  — out there, somewhere —  of restraint.]          ..      i keep seeing cel in my dreams.           [albeit there’s no shame in quiet admittance, softened blow of a confession, there is a gnawing grievance. romy rose’s own hands will follow the linger of his fingers on his own face, caressing it as if it would etch it to memory in far long to come.]            maybe you should fix me up with your roommate after all..      —       just to.. you know.           [beneath and basked in starlight, she’s otherworldly: entirely detached from the predicament of what’s real and fake. gazing pon ardor—infused countenance, eliciting wanton yearning.]            you look so dreamy. i feel terrible.     i shouldn’t be someone who—            [except that she was. perpetually selfish, even to the extend of her friend’s closest. sleep crawled toward something deeper, reeling her in. the pool amounting from the shame of unabashed chagrin; an overindulged, coddled, pampered princess of roses. it all gets so much for romy rose, it does. yawning, amidst emotional height,]           tiring..    all of this.      let’s just lay down.

@beauzzz       [deep into his thoughts, brown hooded eyes glanced up as she’d awaken him back to earth.  a confused expression etched across,   tiresome features,  dark brows knitted.  her words didn’t seem to make sense,   at least not at the moment.]      huh.   romy.   sorry..   i wasn’t paying attention.        [he apologized,   almost feeling bad for her.   he ran a hand across his face, shaking his head.]        what worse can even happen?      we’re safe here.

@twoshoe      most people are boring.    doors are also for people who want to get caught.     [a harsh response.   the prince of Agrabah,  he sat perched carelessly atop the carved railing of the balcony as though the world had been built merely to hold him there effortless,    unbothered, beautiful in that dangerous way.       the wind tugged gently through dark curls,     whirled almost careless,   he pushed himself to his feet in one fluid movement.         stepping onto the balcony rail with practiced ease,  steady as if it were solid ground beneath him instead of empty air. ]     you here to give me a lecture about curfew,     penelope?         if so,   save it.
