[ why is she speechless in both threads jfc

she moves closer to him when she takes his hand and rests her head on his chest. ]

Belated happy birthday, you.

[sortileges]

[ Because despite being Useless he's Smooth...

He tucks her in against himself then, kissing her forehead. ]

Thank you. [ A beat, then: ] I hope you're going to feed me some of the cake as well, then.

[ rude tbh ]

[psycholawgy]

[ he's so warm... it makes her relax a little into him. ]

Okay. Only because we're celebrating. You're out of birthday wishes now, though.

[sortileges]

[ His hand shifts to rub her back, eyes watching the kettle boil the water. ]

And here I was hoping I could ask for a pony. [ well then ]

[psycholawgy]

But you already have a horse, don't you?

[ in b4 liah says she forgot about it ]

[sortileges]

[ i did............... i truly did. ]

A horse and a pony are different.

[ Because that explains everything [lonely] ]

[psycholawgy]

[ that actually makes her laugh. she looks up at him now, a small smile on her face. ]

What's the difference between the two?

[ she's not stupid she knows but she wants to hear it from him. ]

[sortileges]

[ he just raises his eyebrows at her. ]

One's bigger than the other.

[ Like he's giving her more than that??? ]

[psycholawgy]

[ somehow... somehow, she thought there was going to be a punchline. ]

Like a pony would let you ride it. You're a giant.

[sortileges]

[ athena?? ]

I'm not that tall.

[psycholawgy]

[ her eyes narrow at him and she uses her free hand to show the difference between their heights. ]

Yes, you are. You're really tall.

[sortileges]

[ His mouth twists, trying to hold back a laugh as he reaches for her wrist to rub the skin gently. ]

You're just really short.

[ ???????? WOW? ]

[psycholawgy]

[ WHAT THE HELL THAT IS SUPER RUDE!! she puffs her cheeks and stomps on the ground. ]

There's nothing wrong with my height!

[sortileges]

[ :") ]

I didn't say it was a bad thing.

[psycholawgy]

[ that doesn't make things better o9!!! ]

Should I start wearing heels, is that it?

[sortileges]

[ Ah... an angry cutie. ]

You don't need to do that. [ Okay... now he is laughing... ah. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she's still being huffy though. ]

What else do I need to change?

[sortileges]

[ of course she is... ]

You don't need to change anything.

[ Except maybe how distant you keep being :( but that's a conversation for another day ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she thought she was fine all this time >:T ]

... If you're sure.

[sortileges]

[ She is... wtf is wrong with this girl. Now he just sighs and pulls away, because he'd said it to try and lighten the mood but apparently that isn't happening. Instead he just makes his tea, putting in milk and sugar like England showed him too. ]

It was just a joke, it doesn't matter.

[ Now he's closing off... good job, guys. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she's already feeling insecure thanks!!! she actually does walk up behind him though and tip toes just so she's a bit taller compared to him. ]

This is better.

[sortileges]

[ He never said it was bad?!?!? omg... He tenses up slightly when he feels her behind him, but doesn't move until the tea is ready. When he does though, he pushes down lately on the top of her head. ]

I said you don't have to change anything.

[ He definitely doesn't sound like he's joking now though :( stop athena. ]

Do you have your water still? We'll take everything to the couch.

[psycholawgy]

Here.

[ she'll go ahead and walk to the couch with the bag and the water, then! ]

Oh-- [ only to turn to make him get a few more things. ] Knife and a plate?

[sortileges]

I'll bring them in. [ He does give her a small smile, at least, before he turns to get those. He actually brings out two plates, not just the one, but he's careful when he brings the knife out. He even keeps the cover on it when he puts it on the coffee table. ]

Here.

[psycholawgy]

[ once she's settled on the couch, she takes out the box of cake and opens it so he can see what it looks like. then she takes out the present she got for him. ]

Do you want to open the present first, or do you want to eat the cake first?
