the femme was truly thankful for theodore for keeping a cooler head than her in this moment, especially considering what her emotions ultimately led her to doing to her friend. still, despite his reassurances, worry flooded the woman as she thought that maybe even if he seemed okay with it that she truly just ruined their friendship. "no, no i shouldn't have done that," she disagreed, her arms wrapping around herself once more as she shook her head. "you don't have to be nice to me, theo. i'm a mess and just hurting everyone around me. and the fact that i'm bringing you into it..." she looked at her friend, eyes welling once again before tears crest over her lashes. "i'm sorry, i shouldn't have came," ginny stated with a finality, attempting to rise from where she sat — stumbling slightly as she did so.

watching as she seemed to get even more flustered with each passing second he wanted to ease her pain. "hey.. ginny, i said it was okay really. i wouldn't have said that if it made me uncomfortable." he tells her watching her arms wrap around herself. gently placing his hand on her arm he wants to keep things gentle and not too assertive. "ginny, i'm not just being nice to you, you're my friend i care about you, like a lot." theo tells her with a calmness to his voice not wanting her to feel any guilt. "you aren't hurting me, friends are meant to be in your mess with you, to help you wade through it and get you out, and that's just what i plan to do," he sees the tears begin to fall and reaches over to gently wipe her eyes before his hand moves to catch hers and pull her back. "stay here, you don't have to go, i'm glad you came to me.."

her look became even more divisive when the man continued his disagreements of her praises, shaking her head to oppose his own words further. "you see, this is what i mean!" the femme held a hand out in front of herself as they walked, pointing with her index finger to the first two as she numbered off for emphasis. "one, not only are you cool - which you are, don't fight me on this. but two," pointer finger came down harder with this one for extra dramatism. "but you being nonchalant about it? it just makes it even worse," however by worse the blonde completely meant better - if even just for her benefit. fortunately her mind was able to be distracted by his statement, even if she did disagree with it entirely. "now you're going to make me all nervous about eating it around you," she chastised lightheartedly, feigning interest of something else for a moment. "maybe it was really sandwiches i wanted instead..." though this was said with a matching light tone, her faint smile giving away that she was in fact lying.

he laughs as she calls him cool and nonchalant and shakes his head. "well i am very chalant about you baby." he teased her with a grin and taps her finger with his own and kisses the top of her head playfully. the way they could just be themselves with one another was something he dearly treasured. they were doing nothing special but going to share a meal together but it was time with her that made him happy about it. "we've been together how long now, you have no reason to be nervous to eat around me you goof!" he laughs and then ruffled her hair gently. he keeps her close to him was the walk toward their destination a a grin on his lips. "whatever you want darling." he tells her with a grin.

about two hours ago the man thought that absolutely nothing would top this night. how could something beat winning the championship game of the season — and while they were down in the first half at that? never could he have imagined he'd be kissing his best friend and asking her if she'd want to leave the party they were attending. but here they were, bottom lip pulled between two rows of pearly teeth as blu tried to hold back his smile from becoming too wide by her response. "yeah?" he echoed once he was unable to hold back the grin any longer, glancing at the doors before opting to nod in the direction of going around the side instead. "let's blow this popsicle stand," the athlete joked with a wink before pulling himself to his feet, turning to the blonde and offering his hand to help her up as well. it wasn't until she was standing also before readying himself to kiss her again briefly, biting his bottom lip once more just after as he was still rather shy with the action. still he felt like every nerve in his body was exploding with euphoria, like this night was too good to be true and that he'd shortly wake up in the medical room. but he was still leading her around the side of the venue, glancing back at the party neither would be missing. "can i ask you an honest question?" he wondered aloud, nerves picking up in his stomach once more after it came out of his mouth.

never in her wildest dream did taylor believe she would be kissing her best friend - sure she had lingering feelings for a long time but she never thought anything could or would ever happen. heart was ablaze as they were locked in on the moment, lips pressed together and slowly parting from one another her face flushed with color. giggling when he say yeah - she could audibly hear the question mark in his tone making her nod her head confirming her previous agreement to leave this party with him. "only you could say the dorkiest thing ever right now." she teased him when he said the cheesy phrase. once he was up and holding his hands out to help her up she gladly takes his hands and pulls herself up standing before him. she cant help but to be lost staring at him for just a moment. their faces close to one another, she wanted to make a move to kiss him but her feet felt stuck in cement unable to more. following his lead as he takes her around the side she giggles and then looks to him as he spoke brows furrowing. "of course you can - blu you can ask or say anything to me.. always."

it's not that he can't spend hours looking at ellie while she diligently studies, but it's a bit forward — even for his own standards. it was much easier to avoid the occasion nerves and sweaty hands when they were occupied with anything else and his mind couldn't linger. "you're going easier on me. deal." he grins, lifting his hand from her book and pulling himself a few inches away. he nods, not much of his own belongings to gather beyond the phone and keys in his pocket, figuring he should probably grab his wallet while she goes and changes. "okay. meet you in ... twenty?"

there was a smile on her face when he said that she was going easier on him - which was true. there was something about spending time with changmin that just was, well nice. he made her feel normal, and like she was someone people wanted to hang out with. not just someone to study with or sit beside in class. "t-twenty." she nods her head as he slowly pulls back from her notebook. her eyes follows his body movement, before quickly slipping off to her bedroom to get changed pulling on a cute sundress and putting on some sunscreen. she tidies up her hair and make up applying more blush and lip gloss before grabbing her bag and slinking back into the kitchen. "i'm r-ready changmin." she says her voice quiet.

he can't help the silence terror that came along with seeing someone that has a few inches on him put on a bravado as he tells him to keep his hands to himself. watch out for her, of course he can promise that. the second part? if he was bold enough, he would have told dean it was overstepping. "you're doing homework? we could be at the beach right now, ellie. or i don't know — doing something fun," he complains, no real malice in his tone. he quickly places a hand over her notebook, stopping ink from hitting the paper before leaning down and shooting her a grin that could be seen from more than just her peripherals. "what do i have to do to convince you? i've been told i have some good puppy dog eyes." words that have never been spoken aloud before.

when he mentions the idea of them being at the beach or doing anything more fun then jut doing homework she can't help but to feel boring. a flush of color on her cheeks she looks at his hand now covering her work and stopping her from writing. her eyes now moving to gaze up at him in awe for a moment. when he asks what he needed to do to convince her she giggles and puts her pen down and pretends to ponder things for just a moment. "hmm" she fakes with a small giggle for a moment before looking back to his hand then his face. "m-maybe an ice cr-cream." she giggles and gently nudges her book from his hand and closes it stuffing it away into her school bag. "l-let me just c-change yea?"

"have you seen your brother? i can't risk him beating me up or something." that wasn't exactly the reason he decided to stick around, at least not the main one. but it was an easy cop out to saying he liked being around ellie. eyes glance down to her notebook instead of her face, quiet yet unfamiliar nerves creeping in the back of his mind. he nods to the pen and paper. "what are you writing?"

unable to help the giggle that bubbled up when he mentioned getting beat up by her brother she smiles a bit. though she did wish dean would stop treating her like she was some kind of baby sometime - it was at least kind he wanted to make sure she was safe. she pauses her writing when asked about it she looks to him. "o-oh just s-s-some s-summer school w-wo-work." she was trying to get and stay ahead of things even though she didn't need to, it was just how she was. "i a-agreed to take s-some course over t-the summer.."

the quiet moments were honestly some of his favorites, when you didn't have to worry about anything or anyone else. just to focus on their time together and take things slow. he was very focused on the job that he was doing to her nails. he was locked in and painting them gently making sure to cover each part of her nail, and to not flood her cuticles. as she was looking at him he noticed from the corner of his eye and he slowly looks up seeing her looking to him a sweet smile on his lips. "you don't have to apologize for looking at your boyfriend." he teases her sweetly with a grin. watching her looking at her nails as he then takes her other hand he smiled watching her reaction. hearing that he did a good job he can't help but to chuckle and shake his head. "surely you've had better from professionals."

"well i'll tell you right now, if i get anything for a next time i know already that it'll be great." he debated on telling the other that he was pretty much the human equivalent of a garbage disposal, but figured the more she was around him that the faster she would learn such. though he was relieved when his abrupt bite didn't strike the other as rude, at least that's what he presumed considering the warm smile that still was radiant on her features. he took another once over at the food that she'd prepared, stomach letting out an indicative growl that he probably waited a little too long since the last time he ate — a bad habit he'd fall into at times when being a little too immersed in his clients' sessions. but when the femme was obviously surprised from his compliment, it seemed to draw his interest a little more than the food in that moment. "just telling the truth," he furthered, keeping his eyes on her. "which you really do every day. but maybe i'm just a little more happy to see your face today."

when he assures that if there was a next time that it would be great she smiled warmly. his gentle kindness was something she wasn't really used to, though she did her best to welcome it. "we'll you'll have to tell me what you like most and everything, so i can make it again or try other things i can make you." she beams brightly to him promising a next time would surely happen. hearing his stomach growl she can't help but to giggle and look to him. "i guess i was right on time to stop by then." she comments seeing as he was clearly hungry now. though she did wonder why he seemed to have waited so long to eat, but never the less she was glad to be here and bring him the meal. with his eyes locked on her, she could feel the redness in her cheeks grow a meek smile on her lips. gently she tucks back a strand of her hair nervously. "you're too kind trace.." she giggles. "i'm happy to see your face too.."
