Making Noise | Logan
Standing there in the same spot, completely immobilized from the shock of what he had done still. Logan looked down at the ground, inhaling air deeply into his lungs. “Are you sure?” He asked her, his voice cracking as he said this. Mainly from the amount of emotion he was currently feeling. He felt like a complete and utter mess. It had been a long time since he had felt like that. Just by one girl, one kiss it had come back to him full force. Unsure of what to do, what to even say he bit his lip. Looking up at her face he saw her give him a small smile, which confused him more.
It was as though she was completely over it. But he was anything but, he just wanted to go back and kiss her, this time more passionately. As though he was going to try to show her how much he felt for her already. It seemed like that day would never come though. He had to let it go, just go back to being her friend. Since that is what she wanted. This made Logan happy but at the same time made him sad as well. “Does that mean you are fine with that or fine and brushing it off?” As he asked her this he tried to brush off the disappointed and hurt look off his face but it wouldn’t move.
Running his tongue over his teeth he let out a sigh. “Actually never mind don’t answer that.” He said quickly, not meeting his gaze with hers as he couldn’t face her again. Not yet anyway. “Well when do you want to go to the zoo?” The choice to completely change the subject too irresistible to ignore, giving her a small smile before walking over and picking up the water bottle. Taking a swig of the water inside the bottle he held onto the bottle as he took in steady breaths.
Lights nodded her head when he asked her if she was sure, and she bit down on her lower lip, finding the next few moments to be extremely awkward. “It’s alright, I-” she didn’t know what to say to make the situation better. She really didn’t think that there was anything she could say. The air was tense, and she could feel it as she breathed in, her chest almost constricting at the guilt she felt. She was so torn- she didn’t even know what to do with herself.
She frowned deeply at his question and looked away, just so he wouldn’t see how upset she was by it. She wanted to be able to deal with it- to not blow it off and just be with him and pretend that everything was okay. She couldn’t do that, though, because she wasn’t living in some fantasy. Her life was anything but a fairy tale, and he had to understand that. She felt as though the guilt was literally eating her apart. She internally felt hollow, and was as relieved as she could be by his choice to not have her answer that. Had she done so, major amounts of word vomit would ensue.
She smiled when he mentioned the zoo again and she nodded, standing up on his counter. Without taking another second to think about it, she pounced on his back, deciding that now would be the best time to take him up on that piggy back ride. “Onward, horsie!” she exclaimed, making a dramatic gesture with her hand as she held onto him tight. It wasn’t the most comfortable position because of her bruises, but she definitely wasn’t complaining. It was much better than walking.
That’s good!! :)
The response…don’t even ask me why I found it so funny. I need sleep or something. I blame the sugar. XD
Vilora bit her lip. Believing her answer more this time. She tensed up when the direction was directed back at her. “Like I said before, fine. Just busy. I barely have time to think these days,” vilora said nervously. That was true. It wasn’t like she was lieing. She was just changing up the truth a bit. Nothing else. Her eyes wandered around the diner, looking to see if she saw a familiar face.
Lights smiled a bit and nodded her head, taking small sips of her coffee. She didn’t believe that she was telling her everything, but she didn’t want to press. It wasn’t her place. “Well, when you do find the time to think- I’m always here to talk to, or bitch with, or yell at in frustration,” she said with a grin, her eyes traveling from her to out the window.
Out and about | Vilora
“Everyone’s alright some way or another,” Vilora said taking another sip of her slightly colder coffee. “How have you really been?” Vilora asked, pressing for information. As much of a smile as Lights put across her face, she knew her being alright was just barely half the truth. There was more behind that smile, the same way there was more behind her.
Lights frowned a bit at the question and she shifted her gaze to the table, trying to shrug it off. “Pretty exhausted,” she said, taking her answer an entirely different route. “Between play practice, school and hanging out with my boyfriend- I don’t have time to breathe,” she said softly, hoping that this time the answer would be enough. “How about you?” she asked with a risen brow, reaching to grab her coffee.
