"i'll wait with you until you've finished." he reached out a bit, brushing his fingers over her knuckles in a silent request.
"i'll wait with you until you've finished." he reached out a bit, brushing his fingers over her knuckles in a silent request.
She raised her brows but didn't pull back, letting him do what he wanted. "Fine by me," she said, an answer to both his statement and silent question.
((he wanted to hold her hand lmao if that was unclear))
he quickly laced his fingers with hers, smiling in an almost excited manner.
"so, the exposure is going well. people are reacting and writing, and a petition to stop it has been started."
(thought so, but didn't want to assume incorrectly)
She slumped in relief, squeezing his hand once in thanks. "They'll soon connect it to me and all of my bigger hits, and find the majority of the network." She smiled at him. "Thank you."
"anytime, love. i'm happy to help." he rested his head on his free hand, eyes half lidded. this man is truly content.
She idly studied him for a bit, trying to gauge his thoughts. "Shall we head over to get those cards? I'll bring my coffee with me."
"if you want to."
when they reached the overhang, nik ducked and dropped down the hole, ignoring the ladder. he made a sharp turn, walking up a ramp and ducking through a curtain.
he emerged with the cards, tucking them into his bag.
"i figure you don't want to play down here. it's shabby, at best."
She sipped her coffee with raised brows. "Shabbiness I can handle–I lived next to a dumpster for a while. It's underground that I can't stand."
"understandable. where to?" he asked, choosing not to inquire about the fear of being underground. it took him a quick second to connect the dots, but he didn't let his expression change when he realized why.
"Ah, I'll let today be your day." She shrugged. "I'll tag along with wherever you go–within reason."
nik raised an eyebrow. "well uh, there's a high-end banquet going on. we could sneak in, chill there. there's champagne."
"Ooo, champagne. Sounds like fun." She winked. "Shall I bust out my clubbing dresses that are far from modest?"
"absolutely. make all of 'em stare. i might do something similar myself, if i can find anything. if you'll help me pick something, i'll help you."
"It's a deal," she said, grinning. "I have a few dresses in mind for myself already, and I have a feeling the other guests aren't going to be the only ones staring."
"oh, hush. i know how to control my eyes." he replied lightly, ducking back behind the curtain. he peeked his head back out.
"so do you think we're going for like… a suit kind of look, or cropped top and don't-ask-me-why-i-have-these fishnets. basically, fancy, hoe, or some shit from an anime?"
"There's only room for one hoe, my dude." She hooked her thumbs towards herself. "And it's gonna be me. So at least some sort of suit please." Her lips twitched into a grin.
"fair." he emerged with a white button up, a dark blue vest, and black skinny jeans hanging over his arm.
"too waiter-like, or is it good?"
She gave a thumbs up of approval. "Works for me. Now I gotta match a dress to it." She pulled out her phone and scrolled through her pictures. "Okay, live or pictures? I can do either."
"pictures work fine, love." he moved to look over her shoulder at her phone.
((cant see em? it just pulls up my pinterest without a picture))
(damn… Just a sec, I'll send you a page link that has them)
(thanks)
"the first or second one would go nicely. here, i'll take this with and we can get changed at your place?" he folded the clothes around his arm, tucking them so they'd stay.
She nodded and scrutinized the pictures as they walked back to her place. "I think I'll go sparkly. I have a nice pair of matching stilettos to go with them."
