Beatriz runs a hand through her hair subconsciously, unintentionally making it significantly more messy. "Oh, I'm actually, like, really bad at remembering things?" She says, her voice making the statement sound like a question. "So, yeah, I have no memory of who's going. Pretty sure Lure is, though. And me. And you, obviously," she says, smiling a bit embarrassedly.
He smiles at her,
"yeah I forget sometimes to"
He looked at her hair and laughed a little, reaching his hand out to her face, fixing her hair, setting strands where they belonged. He smiled at her sweetly.
"ah I'm so sorry…. I didn't… Um"
He stutters all of the sudden pulling his hand away from her.
"sorry"
He gave her a bow, shuffling his feet on the ground.
Beatriz laughs brightly, genuinely amused. "What are you apologising for? Chill out, it's ok," she assures him.
"um I mean…. I touched you without consent…..that's not… Really.. "
His eyes scurry around the vast room then back at his hands, which are in his lap.
" your hair was messy…. "
He turned his whole body to kind of face her.
"so um… Are you excited for the trip?"
He asked desperately trying to change the subject, he felt like one of those stupid perverts like Mpaverick.
Beatriz raises an eyebrow, but doesn't mention his immediate change of subject. "Er, yeah. It should be fun. Gotta love hanging out with teenagers," she says her last statement sarcastically, then shakes her head, smiling. "Besides that, though, yeah. From what I've heard, it'll be fun. No cameras there. Or parents," she adds.
"cameras?"
Ryuu asks curiously raising an eyebrow. He rests his chin on his hand, and crossed his legs.
"You camera shy? I don't like cameras that much either so I get it if you don't"
He looked into her eyes, waiting for an answer.
she doesn't seem like a camera shy girl, but don't judge a book by its cover I guess
He thinks to himself while anticipating for her to speak. She seemed very interesting and cool, he really wanted to get to know her. For the past months he has been to involved focusing on school to have any social life.
Beatriz looked away for a moment, thinking. "Um, not exactly? I just - I'm not a fan of cameras. I've been photographed too many times for me to feel comfortable with them," she explained.
oh no! Does she have a bad past?
He things as his eyebrows raises.
"um… Why have you been photographer alot? If you don't mind me asking?"
He asks her cautiously, he didn't want to pry if she didn't feel comfortable.
CC holds out her hand to the moonshine, a flower materializes in her palm. Luminesant in the darkness, it gleamed, shining on her eyes, making them look almost silver. And within five seconds, the flower vanished, glitter like particals flowing up in the air, then dissipating in the cold air.
"lets do something!"
She stood up off of the swing, her hair bouncing around as she moves. Her skirt blowing in the wind, acting like she didn't just make something appear out of thin air (its the norm for her)
Beatriz looks off to the side. "I - um, I do modelling. I've done it since I was… 10? I think? Not by choice, but, you know, some kids' parents make them learn piano, mine made me model," she laughed a bit awkwardly at her weak attempt at a joke. "So… yeah, a lot of pictures, and a lot of cameras."
Maverick still is astonished every time she uses her powers, and he had to shake his head to rid himself of the shock. The boy leaps off the swing, landing on his hands and knees. "Okay," he agrees, laughing.
Ryuu looks at her, shocked.
"wait you're a model? I mean I'm not surprised you're stunning but I mean.. I'm so sorry"
He looks around flustered from what he just said.
"I mean I'm sorry… Um… I won't pry. "
He shuffles his feet around.
"um so do you like the beach?"
He asked, always trying to change the subject, he always makes every subject weirder and weirder.
CC turns to him startled a little. He hand now in her lap, looking up at him.
"what?"
She says curiously…
did I do something wrong? Oh no, did my flower freak him out?
"Hm?" Maverick asks, looking like a lost puppy.
CC looks at him even more confused, she puts her face in her cupped hands.
"what are you doing? I'm so confused."
Beatriz smiles softly. "Um, yeah, I guess. I really prefer forests. I guess they have that kind of, I don't know, mysterious? Kind of feel? When I was in Malaysia, oh my Gods, the forest we visited was probably the most amazing thing I've ever seen," she gushed quickly, then looked to the ground, nervously tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. "But, um, yeah, sorry. I really like forests. As you can tell."
"oh… Well I head we're going to an island so… Um they're might be a forest we- I mean you could visit!"
He smiled nervously. He enjoyed this one on one talking to this girl. He never gets the chance to do this. He was glad he could though, plus, with a person that he enjoys talking to. He tries to talk to Draven every now and then but he's always quiet.
"I was… agreeing with you," he ruffles his hair awkwardly. "You suggested we do something, and I said okay?" Oh gods, Maverick was most certainly not a fan of awkwardness. Where had his smooth, flirty demeanor gone?
"oh okay!"
She stands up and quickly grabs his hand.
"you're cute."
She says casually, then humming to herself looking around. His hand felt nice in her cold hand. Some if what looked like sparkles stuck to his hand while she held it. She looked down and quickly let go, grabbing it with another hand trying to wipe away the shimmering particles.
"ah I'm sorry…. So what should we do?"
Beatriz smiles at the thought. "That'd be cool. It's kind of weird, but I really love climbing trees. I fell out of a tree once, when I was 11," she said, eyes sparkling with mischief at the memory. "My mum was furious."
Ryuu chuckles a bit then smiled.
"climbing trees? Heh I'm not very good at that…. My mom and dad could care less about what I do…. They're to busy with their money to care about me…."
He looks around at the suit cases
should i- no…. I'm not gonna tell that to someone I just met…. It would be fun to have someone else know other than CC.
He thought to himself
"Oh, I completely understand that," Beatriz assures him. "My parents speak to me about once a month, if they're in the same country, that is."
“Lucky….my parents talk to me…but it’s all judgmental and mean things-“
He says to her with a sad voice.
“So um…do you have any friends here?”
He asks her with a smile.
"You mean, in Japan?" She asks, shaking her head. "Only the friends I met at school."
“Oh that’s nice…”
he says droopily. He was getting really tired, obviously, Yawning, and standing up then smiling at Beatriz.
“Well um it’d getting late, And I’m gonna head to bed…but you wanna talk tomorrow?”
He holds his hand out to the girl, his golden watch reflecting off of the light. His freckles seemed a tad bit darker than usual, his hair falling in his face, his glasses still broken.
(Btw I’m sorry my writings bad rn, I’m super tired and exhausted)
(You're good fam, but you should S L E E P)
Taking Ryuu's hand, Beatriz smiled. "Obviously," she replied, grinning. "Don't we have a super long bus ride or whatever?"
