Just Pomni

"You know you don't have to keep checking on me, right? I'm fine." [for: @presidentxddcc from the You're stuck with me now Meme :3]

The jester had to fight the huge desire to hide her round face in the sketchbook or her gloved hands or something at the compliment. Her heart hammered a mile per second, and she felt so warm inside she thought she was going to explode. "You-I- oh god, I am honored..." She smiled so brightly that her worries were forgotten for a second there. Since when has she become a crying baby? New tears were threatening to escape once more, and Pomni had to wipe them away before she alarmed Gangle again. "Wait, that'd be lovely. I can't wait to learn from the best artist in the world." She chuckled before placing her hands on the drawing, then tearing the page out of the sketchbook. "When we find my art style, we'll draw together until our fingers are numb," Pomni whispered, and she handed her drawing, thinking it was fair to gift it to Gangle in return as she had hers. "Here. For being here for me."

How right Gangle was, for these new tears are definitely of joy. Pomni felt giddy with excitement for having such adorable company as her. Gangle's smile was angelic, so pure, so bright, it made her cheeks flush a little. The jester swore on her life to protect that smile at all costs, now more than ever. Her pinwheel eyes sparkled at her friend's words, her playful behavior so refreshing. "Yeah, you're right. Oof, I better be careful then, huh?" Pomni chuckled as she scratched the back of her head, closing her eyes for a second before opening them just in time to see Gangle look at the drawing, and the jester's attention was on her own, tracing the beautiful image with her blue-gloved index finger. Her stare went right back to Gangle at those last words. Her legs felt exactly like jelly, and when she stood up, they buckled beneath her. "I- you flatter me. I'm not-so-wonderful, but... thank you. Maybe red and blue will look cool." Pomni held her new drawing and then offered Gangle a hand to help her stand up. "I want to choose a red frame then. Red and white, like you. I know it'll look so beautiful, so... Shall we go to Caine's new art supply store and choose them?" She said softly in return.

Her heart stopped for a hot second, pupils dilated in disbelief at what she had just heard. The jester turned her head to the side to glance at Gangle. Did she just flirt with her? Pomni's cheeks turned red. She almost forgot how it was like... It was nice, especially since it came from such a cute person like Gangle. Then again, it could be that the jester was losing her mind. Maybe she was misreading the situation. Gosh, it'd be embarrassing. "You know... I wouldn't mind that, actually." She whispered, her heart raced like crazy, even more when she noticed Gangle helping her, and so, Pomni grabbed onto the other, and with her help, she stood up. Oh damn, she was adorable. So sweet, supportive, beautiful. It made her knees go weaker, and Pomni chuckled. "Not as wonderful as you, though." Before she could think twice, she dared to lean in and give her friend a soft kiss on her mask. She blushed deeply more; her lips tingled as she pulled away and spoke. "A-Anyway, yeah! Let's go then!" Pomni bounced on her heels, leading the way to the art store. Once there, she began looking for the cutest picture frames for their paintings, not able to stop thinking about what she did, no matter how hard she tried.

"We've never met, right? You seem familiar." [for @presidentxddcc from the first meeting sentence starters meme aha]

Pomni wasn't the only one who felt sparks where their hands touched, though Jammi was perhaps a little more subtle about it as he rubbed his thumb over the palm of his hand briefly before setting it back down. Close enough to Pomni's to almost be touching, close enough for her to take his hand again if she wanted to, but not forcing anything unless Pomni herself wanted to take advantage of that closeness.

Pomni pretended she didn't notice the way he placed his hand close to hers, but her fingers itched, wanting to intertwine their fingers together so badly. Maybe if she rested the side of her hand just a bit... and so, her hand bumped into his slightly, though she didn't bring herself to hold him properly. Pinwheel eyes stared at his figure again, frowning a tad as he talked about his health issues from the past. "What? I'm terribly sorry about that, Jam... life is unfair with some people, right? I wish you didn't have to uh, deal with all that." Duly noted, however. Pomni was glad he was sharing this information with her so she could protect him... Still, the girl was sad that she wouldn't be able to swim with him. Then, his last comment made her giggle a bit, and she scooted closer to him. "Ah, it would be kinda funny, but also cruel. I um... want to think you're a rabbit because you're precious..." Pomni blushes like crazy. "In a respectful way! Sorry if that makes you uncomfortable."

"Hold on, my dear."

Her cheeks turn redder but basks in the compliment. "Thanks, and I do really think you're cute too. I like your company already."
