give me time

“ i’d say i’m happy to see you here but considering the circumstances... ” his smile felt disturbing on his face but he still attempted to stretch the corners of his mouth. “ is this everyone ? ” ( @aribraganca​ )

“ what are you doing tonight ? want to do something ? ” ( @aribraganca​ )

“ if it’s any consolation, my speech was so bad that i think you would have died of embarrassment during the reception. being alive is much better, trust me. ” ( @mariisolss​ )

“ okay. you were right. i should have stayed out of it. ” while femke’s reasons had differed from his current ones, she had been right anyways. “ i really didn’t see this happening. do you think people will remember my role ? i never had my moment in the spotlight. thank god. ” ( @femkelotte​ )

“ thanks. ” he pressed a kiss on top of her head. it was a fair deal for the both of them. it wasn’t like ariel had anything to gain from bringing this up. “ i mean– ” his cheeks reddened. if she put it like that, it sounded childish. “ shut up. ” he cleared his throat and massaged his sleepy eyes. “ i had a good time. it was fun after such a long time. do you want to get breakfast ? ”  

“ yes but... you have weird orphan energy despite having two parents. ” his hand vaguely gestured towards her. “ i happen to have respect for the old man. ” more than manon could imagine, he was willing to bet. “ so can’t do that. i have to be nice about this. ” he leaned forward and raised his brows at her before poking the dimple that had appeared. “ don’t be bitchy, manon. i like it more when you’re nice. it’s such a rare treat. ” he returned his gaze to the message. “ the question is, will the evening be way too uncomfortable and a waste of my time, or will it be alright and possibly even fun ? i don’t like gambling with my evenings. ”

“ how would you politely tell your dad, his good friend and the friend’s daughter that even though i’m in spain, i’m not exactly available for a blind date ? but i also can’t refer to it as a blind date since they are insisting that the daughter wants to be friendly and appreciate the friendship of our parents. ” he rubbed his temple and stared at the message he had accidentally opened before reading the preview.
