“You’ve been pouting ever since I went out on that date, what’s up?”

The demon puffed his cheeks out, toying with the rim of a pint glass. “I was gunna take you there” he mumbled “before ‘pretty boy’ spoke up. He stole my idea.”

[born-from-flames]

He felt her grip tighten and he paused, glancing at her with a concerned look. “Are you afraid of water?” He asked, finally catching one of the lilies “we can move if you’d like.”

[firesherelement]

↽⚖⇁ Adena looked up at him and nodded her head slightly. “Yeah, a little. I don’t know how to swim. But we’re fine here as long as I’m not in the water.” She told him, moving her gaze to look at the lily that he had catch. She smiled some more and leaned into him a bit.

“You’ve been pouting ever since I went out on that date, what’s up?”

The demon puffed his cheeks out, toying with the rim of a pint glass. “I was gunna take you there” he mumbled “before ‘pretty boy’ spoke up. He stole my idea.”

[born-from-flames]

The demon nodded with a smile “yup. It’s all I could do to cheer you up, you deserve this.” He helped her to the water’s edge so she could see better, and knelt down, reaching out for one of the lilies that passed by.

[firesherelement]

↽⚖⇁ “It’s absolutely amazing. I love it.” She mused as she to continued to look around at everything he had done. Adena held on to him a little tighter than she should have as they moved to the edge of the water but she couldn’t help it. But since they weren’t going into the water, she was fine. She watched as he reached out for the lily and smiled a bit.

“You’ve been pouting ever since I went out on that date, what’s up?”

The demon puffed his cheeks out, toying with the rim of a pint glass. “I was gunna take you there” he mumbled “before ‘pretty boy’ spoke up. He stole my idea.”

[born-from-flames]

“Just one more second” he smiled before whispering again. This time strings of lights attached themselves to the trees, giving off a warming glow. “There we go, now you can open them.”

[firesherelement]

↽⚖⇁ Adena waited patiently for him to tell her it was okay to open her eyes and when he did, she slowly opened them. She gasped a little as she looked at everything he had done. “This is amazing.” She exclaimed, looking back at Shini with a bright smile on her face. “You did all this?”

[firesherelement]

got you

send me “got you!” to catch my muse from falling! || accepting

↽⚖⇁ Adena grasped on to Shini and let out a small squeak as she realized that she was falling. But she never hit the floor since he had his arms around her. The firebender looked up at him and smiled up at him. “Thank you.” She said as she straightened up a bit in his arms to catch her balance. “I’ve been really clumsy lately. Not really sure why though.” @born-from-flames

[born-from-flames]

Shini pet her shoulder gently with a soft smile that could melt away worries. “I’m sure you do amazingly” he cooed “I couldn’t imagine having to raise a young child on my own.”

[firesherelement]

↽⚖⇁ She looked up at him as he touched her shoulder and smiled again. “Thank you. It can be tough but it’s always so worth it. I get to wake up in the morning to her and go to bed at night with her.” Adena chuckled softly. “But that’s enough about that. I don’t want to bore you with all that stuff.”

[firesherelement]

[born-from-flames]

The demon smiled softly, listening to her talk of Zaria with fondness, it reminding him of his own daughter. “She has a beautiful name” he commented “and I can tell you love her dearly. You must be an amazing mother.”

[firesherelement]

↽⚖⇁ “Thank you. I had heard the name once a while ago and I fell in love with it. Zaria just fits her so well.” Adena said happily, playing with the ends of her hair for a moment. “I try my best to be as good as a mother as I can. It’s hard sometimes with it just being myself but I make it work.”

[born-from-flames]

“You’ve been pouting ever since I went out on that date, what’s up?”

The demon puffed his cheeks out, toying with the rim of a pint glass. “I was gunna take you there” he mumbled “before ‘pretty boy’ spoke up. He stole my idea.”

[born-from-flames]

He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the lake. “I’m glad you like it” he laughed, stopping just at the edge. “Close your eyes a moment” he whispered. Once she’d closed her eyes, her mumbled into his hands before placing them in the water. Small orbs floated up from the water, looking like fireflies and water lilies sprouted from their pads. He grinned, proud of himself.

[firesherelement]

↽⚖⇁ She was a bit hesitant as he pulled her towards the water but she trusted him and let him do what he wanted. Letting out a deep breath, she closed her eyes and took a small step backwards. Adena heard him say something quietly  but she couldn’t tell what he was saying. “May I open my eyes now?” The firebender asked, smiling a bit.

[bending-loner]

"Hey, Tobias, you around?"

“I’m always around for you Adena.” A small smile crossed his lips heating her voice. “Everything okay? You haven’t come looking for me in what feels like a really long time.”

[bending-loner]

“I missed that.” He wiggled his shoulder subtly before sitting back so she would sit up. “Even thought you know I hurt people?” Tobias arched an eyebrow with the question. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe her, he just wanted to hear it.

[firesherelement]

↽⚖⇁ She chuckled as he wiggled his shoulder and sat up as he moved. It was a moment before she spoke again but she had nodded her head. “Even though that you hurt people, yes. I can easily look past that.” Adena told him before pressing a kiss to his lips. “I know that you’re good person behind all of that. I’ve seen that much of you and I love every part of it.”

[firesherelement]

Not really sure why though.” @born-from-flames

[born-from-flames]

“A daughter?” He asked, blinking in surprise “my… you’re barely and adult yourself. May I ask about her?” Well that changed a lot, he couldn’t keep her out for too long and he’d have to watch how much she drank.

[firesherelement]

↽⚖⇁ Adena nodded, looking up at him. “Yeah, I have a daughter. Her name is Zaria. She’s six years old.” There was a smile on her face as she spoke about her. “She’s my everything. I’d give everything for her. I had her when I was eighteen and even though it was an accident I wouldn’t trade her for the world.”

[born-from-flames]

“You’ve been pouting ever since I went out on that date, what’s up?”

The demon puffed his cheeks out, toying with the rim of a pint glass. “I was gunna take you there” he mumbled “before ‘pretty boy’ spoke up. He stole my idea.”

[born-from-flames]

As they walked, Shini hopped that no one else had this idea. He wanted something unique and beautiful, but still fun. After a while, he stopped at the foot of the bridge and grinned “we’re here. I saw the park when I first arrived and couldn’t get over it’s beauty. So much nature amongst all this technology.”

[firesherelement]

↽⚖⇁ Adena stood beside him as they stopped walking and grinned as well. “I love it.” She mused quietly as she looked around the part for a moment. When she looked back at him her smile was even wider. “I really do love it.” No one had ever had this idea and she couldn’t help but glow.

[born-from-flames]

“You’ve been pouting ever since I went out on that date, what’s up?”

The demon puffed his cheeks out, toying with the rim of a pint glass. “I was gunna take you there” he mumbled “before ‘pretty boy’ spoke up. He stole my idea.”

[born-from-flames]

He felt his cheeks heat up and he quickly cleared his throat. Was he blushing? It’d been a long time since he last blushed. “I’m glad I can make you happy” he smiled “but I wanted to do this. It’d be good for both of us. We can talk a little more and get to know each other.”

Shini lead her by the hand outside. He wracked his brain for the layout he’d mapped and quickly set about moving, heading towards the central park. He remembered seeing it when he first arrived and thought how beautiful it looked on an evening, the perfect place for Adena.

[firesherelement]

↽⚖⇁ She nodded her head, not getting the chance to catch the blush that had appeared on his cheeks. “Well thank you then. It’s nice. And I’d love to get to know you better.” Adena replied as she happily followed him.

[firesherelement]

[born-from-flames]

“Have you thought of traveling outside the city?” He asked, if she did, he’d have to see if he could tag along. “You can’t go home?” He frowned, concerned “why? If you don’t mind my asking.”

[firesherelement]

↽⚖⇁ “I’d love to travel outside the city. I wish I could.” Adena replied as she shrugged her shoulders a bit. “It’s not really an option right now financially. I’m more focused on taking care of my daughter right now than moving back home. And besides, she’s too young to just up and move. I wouldn’t want to do that to her.” 

[born-from-flames]

“You’ve been pouting ever since I went out on that date, what’s up?”

The demon puffed his cheeks out, toying with the rim of a pint glass. “I was gunna take you there” he mumbled “before ‘pretty boy’ spoke up. He stole my idea.”

[born-from-flames]

He swung the coat around his shoulders and fastened the first button so it didn’t fall. “I understand and I sympathise” he commented, holding out his hand for her. “Come on, I know a place that’s even better than where he took you.”

[firesherelement]

↽⚖⇁ Adena took his hand after had had pulled on her jacket and buttoned it up. A small laugh left her lips and she smiled at him. “Lead the way then. I’m curious now.” She replied as she walked by his side. “You know you didn’t have to do this, right? You don’t have to take me out to make me happy. Just being around you makes me happy.”

[born-from-flames]

The demon couldn’t help but chuckle softly. “You’re still so young, you shouldn’t be tired of the world already” he said gently, but he could sympathise with her, after all he was tired of his world too.

[firesherelement]

↽⚖⇁ She let out a laugh and let a smile appear for a moment. “I’m not tired of the world quite yet. I’m just tired of this city. There’s plenty more out there and I’ve been here for far too long. If anything, I’d love to go back home. But that’s certainly not going to happen any time soon.”

[firesherelement]

>> Honestly, this has been the most uneventful birthday. Which, really isn’t a bad thing.

[bending-loner]

"Hey, Tobias, you around?"

“I’m always around for you Adena.” A small smile crossed his lips heating her voice. “Everything okay? You haven’t come looking for me in what feels like a really long time.”

[bending-loner]

“You gave me a chance and saw through the front I put up.” He gave a half smile as her kissed her neck before slowly pushing her shirt up. Tobias was still excellent at teasing, but for Adena this time he wouldn’t… At least not as long. “I’m not that good, you know that.”

[firesherelement]

↽⚖⇁ “I have a knack for doing that. Seeing through a wall that someone might have put up.” Adena said quietly as she arched her back a bit, making it easier to push her shirt up. She let her hands trail along his arms and shoulders, nails dragging lightly. “You’re amazing and perfect. I could never think otherwise.”

[bending-loner]

"Hey, Tobias, you around?"

“I’m always around for you Adena.” A small smile crossed his lips heating her voice. “Everything okay? You haven’t come looking for me in what feels like a really long time.”

[bending-loner]

Tobias chuckled and loosened his grip so she could easily flip them if she wanted to, “Let’s see. I never had a night where you weren’t the last person I thought of, you were always the first person I thought of when I woke up, you’re the only thing I think of when I picture the future.” He leaned down and kissed her lips, only for a second before kissing her jaw.

[firesherelement]

↽⚖⇁ She laid there, listening to what he had to say. A small blush appeared on her cheeks and she smiled before he kissed her. “How did I get so lucky, Tobias?” Adena replied as he kissed her jaw. “You’re so good to me and everything about you is perfect.” She stayed put underneath him and let him do as he pleased.
