Avery bit at his nails, his face turning into one of disgust as he remembered he had nail polish on. He shook his head. Nevermind that, do I look good enough for Atti? He questioned himself, taking a quick look at what he was wearing. He had on a jean colored vest on over a black long sleeve shirt that's sleeves were rolled up to display his scales, he of course also had on his combat boots, because you honestly never know.
Atticus swallowed nervously, his mouth drying up as his nerves rattled his body. He sucked in several deep breaths as he shifted in wait in his seat in the lobby. The sensation of the light fabric of his flowing white robes brushing against his skin brought him back to reality. He stared at himself in a mirror hanging across the lobby room. His normally-messy white hair has been brushed, styled, and adorned with silver and gold crystals. His gold-embriodered robes set off his grey-splotched wings and slight blush appearing. Oh please let this be good enough for Avery…
Avery turned around, seeing Atticus. When he did, his face went red and there were only a few thoughts in his mind, most of them contain. How is he so cute? He is adorable! Avery walked over to Atticus, a nervous smile on his face. "Hiya Angel Boy, how are you?" He asked, placing a small kiss on Atti's cheek.
"Hmm?" she asked, tilting her head.
He smiled softly. "I think that I love you."
She froze, completely caught off guard. WHAT!? She felt a blush creeping up and covered her face, suddenly shy and self-conscious. "Really?" she asked softly, peeking through her fingers to look at him. Gods, he's so handsome. And he said he loved me. Love! I…
"Well, people don't say that type of stuff as a joke, now do they?" His eyes squinted slightly as his smile grew.
She covered her face again, turning even redder. "No…" she muttered. She sucked in a breath and leaned back, fanning her hot face. "Oh my gods, I wasn't ready for that."
He shrugged, suddenly feeling very awkward. "Do you…?"
(hi I've been stalking for like two minutes and this is already beautiful. I also have a question, is this a bunch of characters that are already in ships that are just coming here to talk/get together again/whatever, or is this putting characters in for new ships?)
Her eyes widened and she grabbed his hands. "No, don't take my reaction the wrong way." She stared into his hazel eyes, ignoring her beating heart. "I love you too. I have for a while, I think."
He let loose a toothy grin, looking down at his shoes for a moment and chuckling. "You had me worried there for a moment."
She sighed. "I'm sorry. I'm really bad at actual relationships."
(alright, cool. if anyone needs a ship still I could possibly slide in if needed :v)
He shook his head. "Listen, 3 days is a lot of time to freak out about something. It wasn't your fault."
"Well, telling someone you love them isn't an easy task, and you know I get emotional after fighting for my life."
(You'll be the first person I call)
(I'm just happy I get to use my Siren Boi.)
She smiled. "That's an understatement." She reached up, lightly grabbing his face in her hands and pulling it close to hers. "I know I've said it once, but I'll say it again–I don't deserve you. You're too sweet and kind, and you've accepted every dark and twisted part of me. You're basically royalty, and the only claim to royalty I have is the criminal kind."
"Oh, please, I'm no prince," he said. "I'm just a goofball with a crown on his head."
She gave him a flat look. "You're related to a former Fae princess and the rulers of the universe. I'd say that qualifies for prince status."
He shrugged. "I'd rather just be Runner. Tega the Prince sounds too bitchy."
She snickered. "Runner it is," then pulled him closer, pressing her lips against his.
He smiled slightly, feeling his face heat up. God, this is Heaven.
Avery turned around, seeing Atticus. When he did, his face went red and there were only a few thoughts in his mind, most of them contain. How is he so cute? He is adorable! Avery walked over to Atticus, a nervous smile on his face. "Hiya Angel Boy, how are you?" He asked, placing a small kiss on Atti's cheek.
Atticus's face lit up in a large grin as soon as he heard Avery call to him. His face flushed bright red at the gentle and he tried his best to maintain his composure. "Ave… I'm great now that you're here… You, you look incredible!" Atticus exclaimed genuinely. He tentatively reached forward to play with Avery's painted nails before morphing the action into holding his hand. His own horns let off a dim glow at the contact.
