He felt himself blush slightly as Alister went to hold a hand up to Evans side and he moved to look away from him if only to hide the fact that his pale face was pink.
"o-oh uh…it dosent really hurt much anymore…I just had to take in a feel breath during my anger at Charlie, and I think I stretched out badly during my stress. But I'm good now."
“Okay, good.” Alister raised his head from Evan’s shoulder, spotting his blush. He stared, a small grin spreading on his face.
“Aww, you’re so cute,” he said. “You’re like a strawberry.”
She let out another groan, she would be lying if she said she wasn't at least somewhat flustered by her action of shoving her face In his chest, she pulled away but then saw his face…his flustered idiot face and immediately went back to hiding her face In his chest.
too cute.. she thought before flushing what?! What was that- no- no. Not this again. Nope. That wasn't a thing and I did not think that I do not think that!
She thought back to what he said about the visions and she realized she had seen something before passing out ….but she couldn't grasp it anymore. She just…she knows she remembers a little white haired boy, but that's all she could remember.
"I..I remember seeing …a little white haired boy.." she mumbled to Malachi.
Welp, now he's even more like a strawberry as heard Alisters comment and he let out a flustered noise moving to cover his face with his hands.
"I d-d-dont know W-what your talking about-"
He laughed. Finally, the awkwardness that he felt was slipping away. “But you are,” he murmured. Raising his hand again, he took Evan’s and tried to uncover his face. “My little strawberry.”
My. The awkwardness and regret came rushing in again. “Oh— I’m sorry, I uh, I didn’t mean it like that— I…”
His hands were moved out of the way by Alister, and left a blushing smiling Evan to look at Alister. He moved to nuzzle Alisters nose with his nose, with a chuckle. "I think I like the sound of that."
“Oh… um…”
He couldn’t answer at first. Evan’s smile seemed to hold his gaze hostage, unable to break away. Oh, he was so beautiful. Alister held Evan’s hand, slowly entwining their fingers. The gap between them grew smaller and smaller, but he wasn’t even really aware of it. All he could think about was returning the gesture, so he nuzzled him back.
“You— you do? I was… I was nervous.” He chuckled. “My little strawberry… what am I to you?”
She let out another groan, she would be lying if she said she wasn't at least somewhat flustered by her action of shoving her face In his chest, she pulled away but then saw his face…his flustered idiot face and immediately went back to hiding her face In his chest.
too cute.. she thought before flushing what?! What was that- no- no. Not this again. Nope. That wasn't a thing and I did not think that I do not think that!
She thought back to what he said about the visions and she realized she had seen something before passing out ….but she couldn't grasp it anymore. She just…she knows she remembers a little white haired boy, but that's all she could remember.
"I..I remember seeing …a little white haired boy.." she mumbled to Malachi.
Malachi couldn’t help it. She was just so cute. It started out low, but he couldn’t contain it. Soon he was laughing hard, his chest bouncing as he did so. He then had to calm himself because his wounds began aching again.
“Désolé, désolé,” he said, wiping away a tear. “A white haired boy? Evan maybe. It makes sense, perhaps they were memories from when you were small.”
She got even more red when she heard his yelling, she made sure to cover her face with at least one hand as she was pushed out of her hiding spot before moving to try and hide in his chest again though he could see some of her red face and red ears.
"I don't know…maybe.."
Trent was looking over at them, noticing how they interacted and hearing Malachi act.
"Well that's….something."
Noel had also been watching them, studying their behavior. “Indeed. They are clearly smitten by each other.”
He smiled uncontrollably. “Ohh, ma chatte rouge, eh? Chatte noir is chatte rouge now.” His fingers reached up, combing through her hair peeking out of his chest. “Don’t hide, ma chère. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
“Oh… um…”
He couldn’t answer at first. Evan’s smile seemed to hold his gaze hostage, unable to break away. Oh, he was so beautiful. Alister held Evan’s hand, slowly entwining their fingers. The gap between them grew smaller and smaller, but he wasn’t even really aware of it. All he could think about was returning the gesture, so he nuzzled him back.
“You— you do? I was… I was nervous.” He chuckled. “My little strawberry… what am I to you?”
He smiled softly as he felt there hands connected, but managed to blush even more when Alister returned the nuzzle and he just sat there being red in the face.
"hm…my little wind?" He jokes slightly, trying to find something that fit. "How about…My Ali?"
Something inside him tingled as he heard Evan’s words. He laughed. “My little breeze?” He suggested before laughing again. “Well, I like both. You can call me both, if you want.”
Noel had also been watching them, studying their behavior. “Indeed. They are clearly smitten by each other.”
He smiled uncontrollably. “Ohh, ma chatte rouge, eh? Chatte noir is chatte rouge now.” His fingers reached up, combing through her hair peeking out of his chest. “Don’t hide, ma chère. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
She swatted playfully at him, though was caught off guard as he ran his fingers through her hair and found herself relaxing as he did so. Maybe she really was like a cat, she was enjoying headpats of whatever this was. It felt nice…
"oh chut, tu agis n'est-ce pas toi-même l'ombre d'une fraise…" She mumbled to him, muttering as she spoke.
"I don't know if I like it…what's he even see in her, she just tried to kill him." He grumbled, crossing his arms.
Something inside him tingled as he heard Evan’s words. He laughed. “My little breeze?” He suggested before laughing again. “Well, I like both. You can call me both, if you want.”
He laughed softly as well, "Aw my little breeze, it's cute just like you." He smiled at Alister as he spoke, not blushing as much as he was before but it was definitely still there on his face.
Noel wasn’t exactly worried about that. “But how is she so different now? It’s this side of her that he likes obviously, not the side of her that tried to kill him. But how do they make it work?”
”Mais je ne me cache pas, maintenant?” It seemed his smile would never waver. ”Si vous arrêtez de vous cacher, nous pouvons être des fraises ensemble.”
"Heck if I know!" He grumbled, crossing his arms as he watches them be blushy. It didn't sit well with him.
She moved her head back from his chest lightly.
"tout le monde nous regardera comme des fraises… peut-être pas tout le monde mais la plupart des gens… je ne veux pas que les gens me regardent…" She looked down as she spoke, only Malachi could clearly see her flustered face from where she was.
At this, his blush intensified. “I— I am? I, I uh…” he couldn’t conjure anymore words to say, until a thought struck him. He gasped softly. “Can I call you my little song? I think… I think you would be a great singer, with your powers…”
His hand slid from her hair to her cheek as she moved to look at him. ”Ahh, alors c'est de ça que tu as peur,” he murmured. He looked around to see who was watching them, and gave Trent and Noel a death glare. When they turned away, he looked back down at Kali, caressing her gently. ”C'est bon, il n'y a plus d'yeux sur nous maintenant. J'adore voir votre joli visage, mais si vous êtes mal à l'aise, je comprends.”
Malachi had spotted them, and he didn’t look happy that they were watching. Noel quickly looked away, shaking her head. “It was a rhetorical question, Trent.”
She looked up at him as he spoke, watching as he moved to death glare at the people watching them and the looked back at her. His words made her flustered even more, as she looked away but he could see her face completely. It was like looking from above at her red face.
"« vous et vos paroles coquettes… comment pensez-vous même que mon visage est tout cela… ? ne devriez-vous pas flirter devant votre peuple ? »" she mumbled under her breath, "even though I might enjoy it.."
She fidgeted with her hands as she spoke, moving to look up at him.
At this, his blush intensified. “I— I am? I, I uh…” he couldn’t conjure anymore words to say, until a thought struck him. He gasped softly. “Can I call you my little song? I think… I think you would be a great singer, with your powers…”
He chuckled as he watched Alister stumble over his words, before he ended blushing more. "Oh- uh- yeah you can call me that. Though I don't know about the singing part.." yes you do Evan, you litterally sing all the time and Noel could probably tell Alister about it if she wanted.
He smiled wide. “Yay! And c’mon, it makes sense. Your voice is already pretty to listen to while you talk.” His gaze softened as he stared at him, and he pressed a finger to Evan’s blushing cheek. “Strawberry.”
She looked up at him as he spoke, watching as he moved to death glare at the people watching them and the looked back at her. His words made her flustered even more, as she looked away but he could see her face completely. It was like looking from above at her red face.
"« vous et vos paroles coquettes… comment pensez-vous même que mon visage est tout cela… ? ne devriez-vous pas flirter devant votre peuple ? »" she mumbled under her breath, "even though I might enjoy it.."
She fidgeted with her hands as she spoke, moving to look up at him.
He couldn’t help but snicker softly. ”Je suis désolé, c'est difficile de ne pas le faire,” he said. “Tu es tellement mignon, ma chère. Devrais-je arrêter? Je peux essayer.”
By now some of the others were giving them side eye glances, then quickly looking away. Malachi didn’t seem to mind, or maybe he didn’t notice.
Kali definitely noticed all the side glances people were giving them, and she just leaned in close to Malachi, he could still see her face, but she hated the attention. She shook her head, why should let there stares get her? It wasn't like she was doing anything wrong. Sure she did something earlier but that wasn't her fault, and she wasn't doing anything know. She moved away his chest a bit more and moved stare right back at those giving side glances, before looking back at Malachi.
"Oh, tu arrêtes, tu es trop adorable…" She muttered to him, hoping that no one else could understand what she was saying, she almost didn't want Malachi to hear her.
"La panthère noire est aussi la panthère rousse que je vois, mais je suppose que ça ne me dérangerait pas d'être des fraises avec toi…"
He smiled wide. “Yay! And c’mon, it makes sense. Your voice is already pretty to listen to while you talk.” His gaze softened as he stared at him, and he pressed a finger to Evan’s blushing cheek. “Strawberry.”
He exhaled as Alisters smile, finding it amazing to look at.
"I-it is..? Well thank you." He chuckled softly listening to Alister talk.
He felt Alister press a finger to his cheek and just poked Alister on the cheek as well with a chuckle.
Malachi was about to respond when Charlie groaned loudly. “I can understand everything you’re saying. Can you please just get a room?”
He stuttered, then retorted, “Well, excuse me! She just woke up, I’m just comforting her.”
“That is absolutely not what you’re doing.”
“You’re one to talk, you’re the one who made her go violent.”
“Oh, thanks so much for reminding me.”
August piped up. “Calm down you two. Mal, I just notified Ara— I mean, Collins of your return. She said she’ll organize the replacement of the others still in District 7.”
“Collins?” He had to think for a moment. “Oh yes, thank you. Charlie, since you’re so talkative, we should all continue our discussion.” He looked back to Noel and Trent. “And give some explanations.”
"Maybe you should just go to sleep and stop listening." She glared at Charlie,
"Your lucky I didn't hurt you more then I did."
She huffed at him.
"He is too comforting me.." she muttered underneath her breath.
She just watched as they talked, listening and staying close to Malachi.
Trent was observing this as well and moved to step forward.
"yeah there sure as heck needs to be explaining done here."
