soon & nox​:

              when  soon  finally  leaves  the  bathroom  ,  nox  makes  sure  to  play  along  and  whine  so  terribly  loud  it’s  impossible  for  the  other  to  miss  it  ,  ‘’  i’m  missing  you  so  much  already.  ’’  it’s  no  new  situation  to  scream  at  each  other  from  across  the  rooms  ,  as  if  having  the  most  mundane  conversation  while  raising  their  voices.  ‘’  don’t  i  have  to  yell  back  at  you  either  way  ?  ’’  they  reason  with  him  and  throw  a  bath  bomb  in  the  tub  in  the  meantime  ,  water  splashing  around  it  and  immediately  beginning  to  change  colors  in  little  waves.  they  calculate  only  little  time  is  left  before  soon  returns  and  make  sure  to  have  stripped  from  their  clothes  as  quick  as  they  can  ,  only  left  in  a  pair  of  trunks  ‘cause  they’ll  wait  for  soon  for  that.  ‘’  babe  ,  hurry  ,  ’’  they  call  out  for  him  while  kneeling  down  next  to  the  bath  ,  swirling  a  hand  through  the  water  with  a  timid  ,  dreamy  smile  growing  on  his  face.

the  sound  of  the  whine  from  nox  reaching  his  ears  elicited  a  laugh  from  soon,  always  amused  and  proud  whenever  nox  played  along  with  what  he  started.  “ now,  just  remember  that  i  have  blonde  hair,  i’m  about  five  ten  if  you’re  really  counting.. ”  the  details  of  his  physical  appearance  faded  off  into  background  noise  while  he  gathered  the  clothes  in  hand  and  returned  to  the  bathroom.  it  hadn’t  really  occurred  to  him  before  this  moment  that  nox  might  be  undressed  when  he  got  back  -  all  but  his  boxers  -  and  the  sight  had  soon  stopped  in  the  doorway.  and  it  occurred  to  him  now  that  no,  he  wouldn’t  be  able  to  do  what  the  other  person  involved  had  wanted.  he  wouldn’t  be  able  to  stay  away  from  nox.  a  moment  of  checking  them  out  passed  and  then  he  was  speaking,  “ you  waited  for  me ?”

[chimeragarden]

soon & nox​:

                  ‘‘  because  ——  ’’  he  gets  nervous  when  soon  looks  at  him  like  that  ,  and  soon  knows  that  very  well.  they  scowl  once  more  ,  hands  carefully  helping  soon  get  up  from  the  tub  and  away  from  it.  quick  movements  have  a  drain  stopper  pressed  in  the  one  opening  that  allows  all  the  water  to  disappear  ,  so  it’s  slowly  beginning  to  fill.  ‘‘  i  could’ve  pushed  you  under  the  tap  ,  ’’  they  give  him  an  equally  pointed  look  and  grimace.  one  day  …  one  day  it’s  going  to  bite  soon  in  the  ass  ,  just  not  today.  ‘‘  get  the  towels.  clothes.  ’’  bossy  as  they  are  ,  nox  places  their  hands  on  soon’s  shoulders  and  begins  to  push.  ‘‘  or  i’ll  push  you  in  the  tub  that  is  certainly  filling  up  with  water  now.  ’’

just  for  a  little  extra  fun,  soon  puts  up  a  little  resistance  when  nox  begins  to  direct  him  out  of  the  bathroom,  his  feet  dragging.  “ are  you  going  to  miss  me  while  im  gone  getting  them ?”  he  asked  over  his  shoulder,  wild  grin  that  showed  his  canines  in  place.  he  moved  though,  walking  from  the  room  to  the  cupboard  in  the  hall  where  the  towels  were  kept.  “ should  i  talk  like  this  so  you  don’t ?”  he  asked  on  the  way,  voice  projecting  louder  with  each  step  so  nox  would  still  be  able  to  hear  him.  it  didn’t  take  him  long  to  collect  those  and  then  move  on  to  the  empty  bedroom  where  his  clothes  were  kept.  again,  a  short  process,  soon  mostly  stuck  to   his  favorite  shirt  and  whatever  shorts  were  on  top  of  the  pile.

key & kitae :

                they  don’t  quite  understand  what  his  issue  is  ,  coming  up  to  them  thinking  this  might  have  some  influence  on  their  broken  past  ;  there’s  nothing  to  kiss  and  make  up  for  ,  if  asked  kitae.  no  one  riles  them  up  the  way  key  does  ,  evident  in  the  way  they  are  quick  to  grab  his  finger  and  remove  the  featherlight  touch  from  under  their  chin.  ‘’  there’s  nothing  to  apologize  for.  i  don’t  have  anything  to  apologize  for  ,  ’’  they  emphasize  ,  putting  the  cup  down  on  the  counter  they  lean  against  and  body  fully  turning  to  face  the  other  ,  ‘’  so  stop  whatever  you’re  doing.  it  won’t  work.  ’’  but  oh  ,  he’s  gotten  pretty.  prettier  than  they  remember  him.  this  close  to  his  refined  ,  sharp  facial  features  has  kitae  feeling  a  form  of  attraction  they  wish  they  could’ve  abandoned  the  moment  they  stopped  seeing  key.  their  hand  is  still  holding  onto  his  finger  and  they  quickly  drop  it  ,  though  they  know  it’s  been  held  on  longer  than  it  should  have.  ‘’  nothing  lucky  about  my  night  seeing  you  ,  ’’  they  lie  effortlessly.

oh  was  it  fun  to  watch  their  reaction,  to  have  his  hand  snatched  away  from  the  touch  and  instead  be  held  aloft  away  from  them.  key  wasn’t  smiling,  not  really,  but  it  was  there  behind  his  eyes  if  the  other  cared  to  look  for  it.  “ funny,  because  i  especially  don’t  have  anything  to  apologize  for.  but  how  can  we  both  be  in  the  right  and  not  be  talking ?”  he  wondered  aloud,  eyebrows  furrowing  the  slightest  bit  as  he  cocked  his  head  to  the  side,  mock  disbelief.  with  kitae  facing  him  now,  it  was  natural  for  key  to  shift  around,  squaring  his  shoulders  in  line  with  theirs  so  he  could  look  kitae  direct  in  the  eye.  it  was  kitae  tossing  his  hand  that  finally  cracked  his  cocky  attitude.  the  touch  had  been  something,  and  key  didn’t  have  another  excuse  to  do  it  yet.  “ how  was  your  night  going?  should  we  start  there,  like  were  you  having  a  good  time  avoiding  me ?”

rich & apple ​:

             apple  didn’t  realise  what  she  agreed  to  was  a  literal  blind  date  kind  of  situation.  those  settings  were  quite  nerve-wracking  for  her.  not  because  she  hates  it  but  because  she  finds  it  hard  to  meet  new  people  lately.  though,  she  should  have  guessed  it  from  the  way  those  two  people  talked  about  their  son  so  highly.   ‘    i’m  not  gonna  lie  and  say this  is  not  boring  at  all.    ’   she  chuckled  when  he  brought  it  up  ,  glad  that  they  were  both  on  the  same  page.  at  least  she  didn’t  have  to  pretend  for  the  rest  of  the  night.    ‘    oh  god,  please   !   let’s  go  for  a  place  like  that.  i  think  i’m  about  to  fall  asleep  to  this  music.    ’    she  admitted  as  she  was   already  grabbing  her  jacket  and  bag  to  get  out  of  there.    ‘    i’m  literally  so  glad  you  said  it  first.  i  was  scared  i’d  have  to  pretend  to  like  it.    ’

it  was  a  silent  sigh  of  relief  that  came  from  rich  when  she  agreed  about  the  atmosphere;  of  course  he  would  have  stayed  and  had  a  meal  with  her  here  if  she  had  liked  it  but  the  option  to  go  anywhere  else  was  so  alluring.  “ i  would  have  really  questioned  my  parents  too  if  this, “  with  the  word,  rich  gestured  around  with  a  finger.  “ was  your  ideal  thing. “ following  her  lead,  rich  eagerly  stood  from  his  chair.  luckily  nothing  had  been  brought  out  other  than  waters  and  the  bread  basket,  so  it  felt  safe  enough  to  just  leave.  one  arm  moved  behind  him,  set  across  his  back,  and he  gestured  her  ahead.  “ let’s  go  then-  either  of  those  other  places  fine?  didn’t  just  shift  the  pretending  onto  those  options  now  right?”  he  asked,  a  playful  gleam  in  his  eye  as  he  made  sure  of  her  stance. 

[chimeragarden]

okay if i don’t get replies out tomorrow i’m in trouble with myself but its been A Day for me today so

[chimeragarden]

countless  times  rich  sat  in  this  restaurant -  maybe  not  this  exact  one,  but  ones  close  enough  to  it  that  rich  didn’t  care  to  differentiate  between  them  all  - and  participated  in  a  dated  tradition.  countless  times  his  parents  set  him  up  with  a  friends  kid,  or  a  friend  of  a  friend,  or  someone  that  they  heard  about  and  thought  good  enough  to  send  him  out  to  court.  and  rich  played  along,  he  did.  he  was  perfectly  polite  to  the  dates,  if  only  a  little  distant.  but  it  was  all  a  bit  too  much  today.  “ this  is  quite  boring,  isn’t  it ?”  he  admitted,  grimacing  over  the  mediocrity.  “ and  stuffy.  and  i  hate  this  music. “  full  offense  meant  to  the  elevator  music  that  was  chiming  through  the  building.  “ do  you  wanna  go-  i  mean,  i  saw  a place  for  froyo  down  the  road ?  or  sushi  ?”

soon & nox ​:

                  only  a  little  startled  by  soon’s  quick  reactions  once  nox  has  himself  removed  from  the  tub  ,  they  look  down  where  the  other  has  a  grip  on  their  wrist  and  move  gazes  once  the  water  begins  to  run.  ‘’  what  are  you  ——  ’’  they  lean  down  to  try  and  get  the  man  away  from  the  water  ,  hands  urging  him  to  stand  up  until  they  realize  the  water  goes  straight  down  the  drain  and  soon  is  safe.  nox  blinks  ,  meeting  eyes  with  soon.  ‘’  don’t  look  at  me  like  that  ,  ’’  they  repeat  what  was  said  earlier  already  ,  lips  pursed.  ‘’  cute  looks  …  stupid  on  you  ,  ’’  he  pinches  the  tip  of  soon’s  nose  briefly  and  pouts.  ‘’  no  ,  you  get  up  and  let  me  fill  the  tub.  you  get  the  towels.  and  new  clothes.  i  wanna  wear  your  shirt  —  i  mean  it  ,  soon  ,  stop  smiling  like  that  before  i  push  you  in  the  water.  ’’

even  with  nox’s  reach  to  help  him  stand,  soon  sat  in  place,  holding  his  ground  until  he  could  get  nox  to  agree  to  the  bath  again.  a  little  water  wasn’t  going  to  do  anything  other  than  make  his  pants  annoying  to  get  off.  the  smile  he  had  shifted  into  a  more  confused  one.  “ why  can’t  i  look  at  you  like  this ?  it’s  just  my  look.  nothing  special. ”  for  a  split  second  there  was  consideration  to  change  the  look  into  a  more  sultry  one,  but  he  was  already  getting  chastised  while  trying  to  convince  him  to  get  back  in.  he’d  save  it  for  later.  hand  released  nox  as  soon  stood,  over  extending  the  move  so  he  could  stretch  the  muscles  that  had  been  in  one  place  for  too  long.  “ you  couldn’t  push  me  in  the  water  anyway-  it’s  not  piling  up. ”  and  with  that  he  moved,  giving  a  pointed  look  to  nox  as  he  stepped  feet  out  of  the  tub.

[chimeragarden]

templed  fingers  came  up  to  rest  against  her  lips  in  thought,  her  gaze  deep  on  a  painting  where  it  hung  on  the  wall.  a  sigh  came  from  ziona’s  lips  and  she  took  a  step  back  as  if  that  was  going  to  make  the  colors  look  any  better  in  their  assigned  place.  “ well  it  just  looks  awful  here,  ”  she  finally  decided  in  a  huff.  setting  up  art  galleries  was  normally  no  big  task,  it  was  the  job  she  enjoyed  after  all,  but  this  piece.... “ why  they  bought  it  when  they  knew-  i mean-  what  do  you  think ?”  she  asked  the  last  bit  louder,  turning  her  gaze  on  the  friend  nearby  that  she  had  brought  along  specifically  to  show  off  what  a  struggle  this  one  was  (  and  maybe  for  the  free  drinks  and  to  have  a  look  around  after  ).

soon & nox ​:

                so  it’s  becoming  fairly  easy  to  read  soon  the  more  he  gets  to  know  him  ,  but  it  seems  soon  is  quite  skilled  in  knowing  how  to  make  nox  nervous  too  ——  much  to  their  own  frustration.  he’s  not  saying  anything  all  while  nox  rambles  and  it  causes  him  to  quiet  down  once  realizing  ,  staring  right  back  and  then  immediately  leaning  away  from  where  soon  has  gotten  awfully  closed.  ‘’  you  know  what  ?  you’re  right  ,  ’’  and  they  try  to  stand  up  ,  struggling  so  with  the  other’s  palms  still  resting  on  their  knees  for  support.  ‘’  can  you  —  move  ,  ’’  nox  grumbles  ,  eyebrows  knitted  together  while  acting  all  mopey  and  climb  out  of  the  tub.  he  continues  to  complain  like  they’re  the  most  pitiful  person  on  earth  ,  ‘’  i  was  trying  to  be  nice  ,  suggest  we’d  do  something  cute  or  whatever  …  i  came  over  because  i  wanted  to  see  you  ,  okay  ?  i  could’ve  gone  anywhere  ,  but  i  came  here  …  ’’

too  surprised  by  nox’s  sudden  change  in  mood,  soon  didn’t  even  think  to  protest  and  instead  instinctively  moved  his  hands  off  their  legs  at  the  command.  it  was  a  brief  moment  of  hesitation,  of  being  taken  aback  by  the  shift,  before  soon  was  moving  again  and  grabbed  their  arm.  his  other  hand  flicked  out  and  turned  on  the  tap  for  good  measure.  warm  water  began  flowing,  luckily  all  going  down  the  drain  before  it  could  reach  soon.  this  was  his  dramatic  spot  to  sit,  sure,  but  soon  always  sat  dry.  “ you  did, “  he  agreed  easily.  “ you  came  all  the  way  over  here  and  came  up  with  a brilliant  plan  so  now  get  back  in  here  and  get  your  massage. “  and  to  sweeten  the  deal,  soon  smiled  up  at  nox;  a  genuine  one  that  lit  up  his  eyes. “ pretty  please ?”

@springloved​

it  was  not  the  first  time  that  zennett  was  doing  this;  the feel  of  the  hard  pavement  under  his  feet  while  he  ran  was  nothing  compared  to  the  adrenaline  coursing  through  his  veins.  it  was  easy  to  ignore  the  ache  of  the  former  when  he  was  so  in  favor  of  the  latter.  it made  sense  for  him  to  enjoy  this,  but  for  security  to  be  fussing  this  much  over  a  couple  nicked  watches  from  the  auction ?  absurd.  it  seemed  like  sooner  or  later  they’d  call  for  backup.  the  best  option  was  to  get  out  of  sight,  out  of  mind.  zennett  wheeled  around  an  alley  between  two  buildings,  only  at  the  last  second  remembering  the  date  he’d  taken  to  the  auction  and  subsequently  got  tied  up  in  his  escape.  his  arm  snapped  out,  grabbing  hold  of  their  wrist  and  yanking  them  in  across  from  him.  “ get  in-  shhhh.”

hii okay like this and i’ll write us a starter based off something in your wanted plots or a meme you’ve reblogged <3 you can also pick a specific muse of mine if you want

[chimeragarden]

soon & nox ​:

                  nox  shakes  his  head  ,  deeming  it  futile  (  for  now  )  to  turn  soon  into  a  fan  of  the  greatest  popstar  to  walk  earth  and  simply  signing  it  off  as  part  of  a  long-term  plan.  ‘’  no  worries  ,  we’ll  get  there  one  day  ;  we’ve  got  time  ,  ’’  they  laugh  ,  adoring  the  way  the  other’s  eyes  widen  ,  filled  with  pure  confusion  that  often  crosses  his  gaze.  ‘’  oh  thank  god  ,  i  really  didn’t  wanna  talk  to  them.  ’’  they  roll  their  eyes  back  ,  looking  up  at  the  ceiling  in  relief.  guess  this  situation  will  have  to  unfold  itself  naturally  ,  and  all  they  can  do  is  wait.  nox  scowls  ,  slapping  soon’s  thigh.  ‘’  not  that  many  !  ’’  he  immediately  throws  back  ,  and  still  not  having  their  answer  as  to  how  soon  will  remove  himself  from  the  bath.  ‘’  i  think  i  deserve  a  massage  now  ,  or  an  actual  bath.  and  get  my  hair  washed.  and  then  after  that  the  massage.  and  i  wanna  do  it  with  you.  ’’  they  lean  in  ,  batting  their  eyelashes.  ‘’  pretty  please  ?  ’’

soon works his hands free from between nox’s and their cheeks, instead setting them on their knees to steady himself while he leaned in again. this time it was to eye them, his own narrowing slightly like it would help him read the other better. he was ready to take cues from anyone else on how to play out this situation. he didn’t speak for now, picking up on the hints enough that nox was trying to relocate them from the act up spot and holding his comments for then. it was the slap on his thigh that stopped the stare down and instead soon was laughing. “ you want a bath ?” soons eyes flicked over to the door and then back to nox, then once more moved down to the tub. “ five seconds ago you were saying you wanted to get out of here and now you’re committing to a bath ? are you trying to add to how many people you’ve slept with so i’m right ?” he was teasing, the wicked grin on his face proof of that.

[chimeragarden]

soon & nox ​:

              and  then  he  laughs  ,  a  sound  so  delightful  even  nox’s  own  features  light  up  ,  a  smile  breaking  through  on  their  face.  ‘’  which  is  exactly  why  you  should  try  touch  them  later  ——  we  can’t  be  anything  more  serious  if  you’re  not  becoming  an  arianator.  the  sole  reason  why  i’ve  befriended  you  in  the  first  place  ,  ’’  they’re  teasing  ,  obviously  so  and  can’t  help  go  quiet  with  how  near  soon’s  face  suddenly  is.  he  may  be  outspoken  ,  witty  and  quick  on  his  feet  ,  soon  manages  to  fluster  him  more  than  any  other  person  ever  has  —  a  feat  never  achieved  by  anyone  else.  it’s  annoying.  ‘’  don’t  —  don’t  look  at  me  like  that  ,  ’’  there’s  a  pause  between  words  when  soon  squeezes  their  cheeks  and  they  catch  themself  chasing  after  the  warm  feeling  of  his  palms.  ‘’  of  course  ,  we’re  gonna  figure  it  out  okay  ?  …  if  you  need  me  to  ,  you  know  ,  talk  to  them  …  i’m  willing  to.  ’’  the  grimace  on  their  face  shows  just  how  excited  they  are  at  mere  the  thought.  ‘’  now  ,  what’s  a  person  gotta  do  to  get  you  out  of  the  tub  ?  my  butt  hurts  and  it  hasn’t  even  been  five  minutes  since  i  sat  down.  ’’

“ do i need to be able to say that in order to be one, cause i don’t know what you just said. ” the statement was made with wide eyes, depicting his earnest about it, and for further proof he stumbled over trying to pronounce ‘arianator’ a few times. this was less on soon being an idiot and more on him not keeping up with pop culture references and fan names. it wasn’t enough of a distraction though for soon to miss what nox said. ‘something more serious’. and even more than that, he found he wasn’t scared of that possibility. coming back to the conversation, soon shook his head a bunch quickly. “ nonono i don’t want you to talk to th- unless you want to talk to them ! but i don’t wanna then have to talk to them more about it all today. “ one serious talk at night and another today to explain the one last night to nox was more than enough. “ but wait, did you just say your butt hurts? you sleep with how many people and this makes your butt hurt ?”

[chimeragarden]

soon & nox :

                 they’re  more  than  glad  how  quick  soon  is  to  accept  a  new  arrival  in  the  bathtub  ,  afraid  for  a  second  it  might  entirely  be  closed  off  for  him  only  but  then  again  ——  much  like  how  he  scoots  into  the  tub  ,  nox  made  room  for  himself  in  soon’s  life  and  home  just  as  quick.  ‘’  i’m  not  mad  …  ’’  yes  ,  they  are.  perhaps.  a  little.  nox  clears  his  throat  ,  wiggling  a  little  in  his  seat  and  mirroring  the  way  soon  sits  for  both  their  comfort.  ‘’  i’m  not  mad  at  you.  like  you  said  ,  it’s  not  fair.  i’d  be  scared  too  ,  ’’    he  squeezes  the  opposite’s  hands  for  reassurance  ,  ducking  their  head  a  bit  to  try  and  meet  eyes  with  soon.  ‘’  it’s  not  fair  they’re  putting  you  in  this  position.  i  know  it’s  easy  for  me  to  talk  ,  but  if  things  were  different  and  you’d  really  like  hanging  out  with  them  ,  annoying  them  ,  kissing  them  …  well  ,  i’d  hate  it  !  but  if  that’s  what  makes  you  happy  ,  why  would  i  …  why  would  i  be  in  the  way  of  that  ?  ’’  nox  brings  their  intertwined  hands  to  his  face  ,  the  coolness  bringing  down  the  temperature  of  his  cheeks  as  he  rests  his  head  upon  them.  ‘’  but  it’s  not  like  that.  and  it’s  unfair.  but  i’m  not  mad.  at  you.  you’d  have  to  throw  out  all  my  ariana  grande  cds  to  make  me  mad.  or  just  one.  one  would  make  me  mad  already.  ’’

the view of nox from the top of his vision was enough of a giveaway that he was trying to catch soons gaze, and with the hard part of actually saying the words out of the way, soon now relented and met the look. everything they were doing to be reassuring - from the words down to the squeeze of their hands - was doing its job perfectly well. but it was their admission that they’d hate for the roles to be changed that tore down the lingering tension. soon laughed, unable to stop the noise before it was happening. “ i can’t touch your ariana cd’s anyway, “ he chirped. “ i assume it’s like church rules. if you’re a sinner and you go into a church, you burn. you’re not a die-hard ari fan and you touch her cds, you burn. “ while speaking he had leaned in a bit, and now he grinned right in nox’s face and used his hands already on his face to squeeze nox’s cheeks before straightening back up. “ i don’t know what i’m going to do about them but. y’know. thank you. for not being mad.. at me.. “

                  nox  knows  what  he’s  asking  soon  to  do  ,  how  it’s  quite  the  task  to  explain  what  the  turmoil  inside  of  the  man  means  for  him  to  end  up  in  the  tub.  they  remember  the  first  time  they  found  him  there  ,  and  much  like  a  lot  of  things  about  soon  ,  they  didn’t  understand  for  why  a  grown  person  would  sit  in  the  bath  when  in  need  of  some  lonesome  thinking  time.  it’s  also  one  of  the  things  nox  has  come  to  like  about  soon  ——  discover  whatever  weird  gestures  and  doings  meant.  ‘’  mhh-hmm  ,  ’’  they  hum  in  understandment  ,  slowly  letting  their  figure  slide  into  the  tub  and  sit  opposite  from  him  all  while  he  scoots  closer  and  goes  ,  ‘’  mind  if  i  …  okay  ,  there  we  go.  ’’  they  place  their  hands  between  the  pair  ,  inviting  for  soon  to  take  them.  ‘’  i  think  i  would  be  really  sad  if  all  of  that  stopped.  even  the  annoying  part.  ’’  a  silence  ,  because  he  figures  it’s  right  to  let  it  be  quiet  and  for  the  both  of  them  to  collect  their  thoughts  on  it.  ‘’  and  you  already  know  how  i  feel  about  it  ,  about  them.  it’s  not  making  things  easier  ,  i  know  …  is  there  anything  i  can  do  ?  ’’

soon waited until nox was settled into a spot in the tub then moved around himself, sitting cross legged now and scooting in closer until their knees were pressed together. while doing so, he also scooped up his hands out of the way, his own thumbs gliding over the smooth skin on the backs. he was a man of action - this was the easiest and quickest way to be reassuring. not to mention he kind of had been wanting to touch nox since the other walked into the room. “ tell me. are you... mad about it ?” it wasn’t entirely what soon meant to ask; he wanted to know if things were getting too complicated to be worth it for nox. but the two were barely something. it might be too much to question that. plus, he was already in the tub, he couldn’t wallow any harder if he didn’t like the answer. “ i was scared to tell you. and i was scared to tell them that i couldn’t agree to that but. i just can’t- it’s not fair. “

“That’s sweet of you.” Areum loved the little necklace. It had a little heart hanging at the bottom that matched perfectly with the rose gold earrings she was always wearing. 

“Help me put it on?” she asked, turning around and pulling her hair to the side so she could snap the back together. “Then I’ll give you your present!”

“ of course, “ ayame muttered, moving around behind areum so she could hook the little clasp together with nimble fingers. she lingered there for a moment, dragging the heart around and holding it up next to the earrings for comparison. “ i did a really good job matching these, actually. do you like it ? “
