Several things flooded Rico's mind, but he shoved them all away. He, instead, lead her to a bench nearby and sat down, "Tell me about yourself?" He said, looking over at her, his eyes tracing the features on her face and the curve of her lips
"What do you want to know?" She said with a small smile, sitting next to him and looking out at the dog park.
Rico shrugged, "Hobbies? Interests? Favorites?" He looked over at her again for a moment before watching as Bolt tried, very confusedly, to play with a tiny papillon puppy
"Well, my hobbies are reading, listening to music and exploring and my interests include traveling and going on adventures." She leaned back on the bench and looked over at him happily. "Anything else?"
"You travel?" He asked, interested, "Been anywhere interesting?" He found himself genuinely interested and smiled
"I went to Ireland for a few months…I've been to Germany, Japan, Egypt.." Her eyes lit up and she turned on the bench so she was facing him "Ireland was my favorite, it's beautiful and I love all of its history and legends,"
Rico's eyes widened, "Oh, I've always wanted to go to Ireland!" He said, turning to face her as well, "But with Bolt and Shira, I couldn't leave them for long… but Ireland has always been a dream place to visit
"Yeah, that's the problem with having pets..you can't really travel with them.." Dierra looked around "I've also traveled all around the country, going from town to town. It's pretty fun, every place is just so different."
Rico nodded, "That sounds awesome" he admitted, his voice quieter as he became distracted by her face again. Realising he was staring, he quickly looked away again, running a hand through his hair nervously
"It's amazing," She chuckled and became very focused on a loose strand of hair that was in her face, going silent and trying to not blush.
Rico looked at her, biting his lip for a moment before a sudden thought came to his mind. His heart pounded as his hand seemed to move of its own accord, gently turning her face towards his and leaning in slightly. His mind screamed at him to stop. But did he? No. He continued until their lips touched and electricity seemed to zip through his entire body
Dierra pulled away slightly before pressing her lips back to his, yelling at herself in her head. Her heart felt like it was going to beat out of her chest and she put a hand softly on his shoulder.
Rico smiled and tipped his head to the side, kissing her softly. He suddenly felt them being forced apart and Rico blinked, confused, then broke into laughter as he saw Bolt nosing his way in between them, panting and whining, his tail wagging slowly
"Oh, Bolt," Dierra said with a laugh, starting to pet him happily, "Don't worry, I'll still pet you." she pressed her forehead to Bolt's and laughed as he licked her face.
Shira, curious as to why Bolt was getting more attention than her, trotted over and nudged Rico's hand. He chuckled and pet her, glancing over at Dierra with a stupid silly smile on his face, still not believing what just happened
"Should we get going?" Dierra asked, looking over at Rico and chuckling at the smile on his face. Bolt nudged her hand and she petted him some more, watching his tail wag.
"Yes" he stood and clipped their leashes on, handing Shira's leash to Dierra, smiling as their fingers brushed. He stood and patted Bolt's head a couple times before beginning to walk
She clipped Shira's leash on quickly before following Rico, smiling at him happily.
Bolt was walking on the outside of Rico so, after a brief nervous hesitation, he slid his hand into Dierra's, smiling
Dierra glanced up at Rico and smiled, feeling herself blush as she laced her fingers with his. Shira sniffed at the ground and then started wagging her tail, trotting along happily.
I'mma go to bed, gn!//
Bolt let out a small bark as they walked, just happy. Rico's thumbs gently stroked up and down the back of her head, feeling the softness of her skin
"So, what are your interests and hobbies?" Dierra asked, watching Shira's tail wag. She felt Rico's hand in hers and she smiled.
"Well, I enjoy anything that has to do with computers" Rico began, "But I also enjoy cooking, drawing, and spending time with Bolt and Shira" he looked over at her and smiled
"Are you good at drawing?" She looked up at him and smiled "I like to draw but I don't think I'm that good."
