        She hummed before leaning over to press a kiss to his cheek, “Sorry I guess that was a bit of a sudden question. I was assuming we were but then I was thinking about what if you didn’t see it that way and how embarrassing it would be if I was the only one who thought we were dating and all.” Her blush darkened some as she continued to ramble on through her embarrassment. 

  The crunch of sand underfoot had him shooting up -- back ramrod straight and finned ears twitching in an attempt to listen closer.

“ Hello! I’m poor! Can you spare about five hundred dollars to me? “ LUCA NO!

          “It’s amazing. It’s so amazing Takeshi of course I like it.” Her voice was muffled from his shirt. She pulled away even as tears fell down her face, “I love you so much.” Amelia hadn’t actually said that she loved him before, but now it was out in the open, “When did you get the time to do all this?” Her tears weren’t spilling anymore but she was still a bit misty-eyed.

「 ☼ 」 Aris had always been one to encourage others in their artistic pursuits; after all, few things in life gave him more joy than seeing what people could create. In his opinion, it made everything far more interesting and beautiful, so when he passed by someone in public and noticed them looking over a piece of art ( whether it was one they’d made or just enjoyed ), he couldn’t help but stop and admire it as well. “Yeah, definitely! The lighting and the setting work together perfectly. When I look at it, it’s like I’m feeling everything you felt while taking it.” He could go on, but he generally opted to save more in-depth conversation with those who expressed interest. “It’s worthy of being a favourite, in my humble opinion.”

       “Of course it was too high for me you giant.” She shook her head but was a bit relieved when he agreed to come over, “Okay well please hurry because I can’t start dinner without it. I guess I’ll make some for you too since you’re coming over. Pick up an extra chicken breast on your way here so I’ll have enough for you too. If you want to bring me some vanilla and honey flavored almonds too you’d be the best boyfriend on the planet.”

       “I don’t know. I just didn’t know if you were feeling better about it yet or not.” She kept lightly playing with his hair while they talked about this. The movie became just background noise to the conversation, “They’ll like you just fine. Daniel is really quiet but Mac softens him up a lot. Plus I’ll be there the whole time so if you don’t know what to say just divert the conversation to me.” She shifted slightly so she was a bit more comfortable since her legs were falling asleep, “Or we could cancel for this week and set it up for a later date. Up to you.”
