[ she doesn't say "cheese" this time around, and instead turns to kiss him on the cheek the same time she pushes the button to take the photo. and unlike the cerevice, the camera makes a little bit of a whizzing noise before the photo slowly gets printed out from the top. it's blank at first but athena pulls out the photo and shakes it for a couple of seconds to help with the developing.
once the picture's fully developed, she hands it over to him. the focus isn't perfect and there's a bit of empty space on the side, but it did capture both of them. ]
[ It helps the look on his face soften for the photo though, so when she finishes he leans up to peck the corner of her mouth. He looks towards the print out after, watching what she does with it. ]
How does it work?
[ He takes the photo though, of course, thumb sliding over the edge of the print carefully just in case it smudges. ]
[ He just reaches out then... to half flop over her. Why is he so lazy today?! Well, it probably is to do with work tbh... He's had to make up for 3 lost days and staycation wasn't that long ago. He spent all his money then. Ah. ]
[ she leans back onto the couch and wraps an arm around him, bringing him closer to her. she remains quiet though, and rests her head on his and closes her eyes. ]

[ that's a good question. athena really has no idea, though. may as well bullshit her way through this. ]
There are tiny humans inside and they draw the picture and colour it so it comes out right away.
[ what. ]
no subject
He just looks at her like she's crazy. ]
Athena. There's no such thing as a tiny human that small.

[ it's a reluctant admission, which is why she pouts afterwards. ]
I just don't know how it works.
[ she doesn't want to appear dumb?!?!!? ]
no subject
It's fine if you don't know.
no subject
I'll read about it when I get home.
no subject
You don't need to, I was just curious.
no subject
Can I ask you a weird question?
[ yeah this is the thing about yu!!! ]
no subject
What is it?
[ ah......... ]
no subject
If-- If I kept a huge secret from you all this time, and you found out... would you hate me?
[ that probably doesn't give a lot of context, so after a brief pause, she continues. ]
Imagine if you found out from somebody else, and when you confronted me, I told you that I never planned for you to know.
no subject
Doesn't it depend on what the secret it?
no subject
I don't know what the secret is, either. [ at least it's a sign that it isn't about her. ] Something big, I guess?
no subject
Then why did you ask?
no subject
[ it's... really upsetting for her. both guys are her dear friends and knowing they're sad really affects her. ] m
Because of a secret.
