in any event , logan is glad to hear it's a HER problem — he was about two seconds away from marching down to her label himself in her honor . " hey , the fact that it's taking a minute means you're not just half - assing it . that's a good thing . " lips pull into a gentle smile , " ... ah , c'mon , i'm NOT a good example . my first couple of albums came pre - packaged . " he didn't really have time to be creative back then ... his management had always just fed him pre - written songs that were sure to be hits . " you been working on any songs specifically ? let me be nosey . i want a sneak peek ! "
❝ thank you so much. it's very exhausting, of course, but at the same time extremely gratifying — and i feel like you're one of the few people who understand that, ❞ rina smiled in response, then gave a gasp at his next comment. ❝ are you kidding? i mean, c'mon — you may have been given most of the songs, but i'm sure you worked hard in the studio as well, ❞ she chuckled as she shook her head. rina started searching for an audio file on her phone. ❝ i appreciate your enthusiasm, lo. i actually did record a few chords i found interesting yesterday. nothing concrete yet, but i can see the potential in it. ❞
" hey ! " she blurts out , hands fumbling trying to catch the pillow that thumps against her chest from across the room . " for the record i'm not judging , but if i'd known we were staying in i would've dressed a bit more to theme , " can't imagine how ridiculous she looks standing in rina's doorway completely overdressed for a night of binging tv and ice cream on the couch . " is there room for one more on that couch ? i'm pretty sure i left some sweats here last time i came over , i'll change and we can order in if you haven't eaten yet ? " aria's confusion in their plans honestly comes as a relief , between the carnival , fashion week and prepping for the new season of pub crawl her own social battery had come to run dangerously low . " what'd you get up to at the carnival after we saw each other anyways ? anyone try to steal a kiss ? "
❝ sorry for the misunderstanding. i did have every intention to go out earlier, but once i had a nice warm bath i just couldn't be bothered to go out anymore, ❞ rina sighed, sinking further into the cushions of the sofa. ❝ there's always room for you on my turf, ❞ the singer smiled fondly at the elder. ❝ sure. does chinese sound good? i'm dying to have some kung pao chicken. ❞ she reached for her phone and started reviewing the nearest chinese takeaway menu before patting the spot on the couch next to her. ❝ not much, really. just a couple of late nights in the studio. a kiss? for me? i wish, ❞ she shrugged, trying to keep her face as blank as possible. there was a name that came to her mind as soon as the topic of kissing came up — the feeling of his arms around her as they both enjoyed the view of the carnival on the ferris wheel still fresh on her mind — but she couldn't possibly tell aria that.

leaning back in his seat , wes shook his head in disbelief , a grin stretching across his face . “ to this day , i still can't believe that warner brothers fumbled the bag so badly , ” he began , amusement audible in his voice . “ i mean , imagine if they had actually done the smart thing and made spooky island into a real theme park .. disney would be absolutely shaking in their fucking boots . ”
❝ i don't know what you're talking about, but i don't want to go anywhere near a place called spooky island, ❞ rina shook her head, her face nonchalant. although rina was technically a skeptic when it comes to the paranormal, she also wasn't exactly an enjoyer of any horror-related things. ❝ you don't really believe the biggest company in the world would be threatened by warner brothers, do you? ❞
˙ ៹ open starter :
“ um . . . i thought you said we were going out tonight , “ she gives [ name ] a quick scan with her eyes , one of them clearly must have misinterpreted the dress code for tonight’s plans . “ when you said out i thought you meant like to dinner or to the club or something , not out of the bed and onto the couch . . . “ ( @nepofmstarters )
❝ ugh, leave me alone! ❞ rina groaned, picking up the nearest cushion and hailing it towards her friend. she crossed her arms over her chest in detest. ❝ it's been a long week. can't a girl just have ben and jerry's for dinner and binge watch pretty little liars for one night? i've had enough socializing to last me at least one month at the carnival. ❞
“ depends on the game . if it’s any of those win-by-chance games , i don’t think i can help you out on that . i know there’s tricks to MOST of the games here but even i know when to call it . but i can try to help so lead the way ! have you already attempted to win it already ? i gotta know what i’m walking into . ”
❝ it's a shooting game! and — what kind of games did you play to win all these plushies, by the way? ❞ rina tilted her head in curiosity. ❝ because you have quite a talent there. as for me, i have a terrible aim — and i haven't even given a shot at the game because i just know i'm going to fail. ❞

۟. 🐻 ៶ 𝐰𝒊𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐞 〉 she tries to look away from the sight in front of her quickly knowing her feaures won't hide the immediate reaction of disgust . she whispers to the other beside her , trying to keep her voice down . “ oh hell no ... i know it's like some day of love and whatever , but if you're gonna be all over someone like that then just take yourself somewhere private ? why's it always in line for a ride of all places ? that grip on her ass is crazy . ”
a chuckle escaped rina's lips at winnie's comment. ❝ oh boy, these people are just here to remind me that i'm single as hell, ❞ she mused, eyeing the aforementioned duo that was seriously making out in the broad daylight. ❝ because they're not the only couple i've seen like that today. i think the drinks the booths are serving today must have been contaminated with a love spell or something. wouldn't surprise me. ❞
closed starter for @hcerin ! ↪ an fun lil studio session .
" you haven't released something in a minute . it's a shame ... your label giving you issues or something ? — i can fix that . " he's already poached a number of other artists to sign with im music .
❝ not at all! actually... i'm the one who's the holdup, ❞ rina admitted reluctantly, her face colored with embarrassment. ❝ it's not that i don't want to release music — i do! but coming up with an entire album is harder than i thought it would be. i admire you for having released so many albums, especially since you were just in your teens. ❞
closed starter for @hcerin !
" i'm pretty sure i could eat my weight in funnel cake if nobody stopped me . " as if that wasn't obvious by the fact that he just demolished one right in front of her eyes . can you blame him though ? they're DELICIOUS — even more so when they've got strawberries on top . he's got powdered sugar on his nose now , but he hasn't noticed yet . " ... probably not a great idea before going on a ride called the scrambler , though . " myles muses aloud . he doesn't really want to hurl in the middle of their .... DATE ? meeting ? he probably shouldn't think that deeply into it . it's not a date ... they're just two friends hanging out . " you wanna go on the ferris wheel instead ? bet we could get a good view of the whole carnival from the top . "
❝ yeah... i don't want you spilling your guts all over me after we're done riding it, ❞ rina smiled in endearment at how quickly myles had devoured the funnel cake. ❝ you know in that one music video by one direction — night changes, i think? liam went on a ride and barfed all over his date. that happening to me would be an absolute nightmare, ❞ rina shuddered, then quickly blushed when she realised the implication of her words. ❝ not that this is a date... ❞ she tried to say, but the words had trailed off as quickly as it came. one way or another, myles somehow always found a way to make her feel flustered. rina tried her best to gather herself and continue, saying almost too cheerfully, ❝ sure! i'd love to see the view of everything from above. oh, but — you have a little something on your face... ❞ without waiting for a reply, rina had already put her thumb by myles' face and quickly swiped off the white substance. she smiled up at him. ❝ alright, perfect. ❞
prettiest ♡
“ how many people do you think actually came here on a date ? “ train of thought is briefly paused in favor of popping another chocolate covered potato chip into her mouth , “ i feel like this is a cute date but maybe not like , the whole date , you know ? like , i’d wanna come here for a bit and then go to dinner or just anywhere that doesn’t end with me getting dirt and bits of fried food stuck under my shoe , “ her gaze shifts to the people around them , looking for fodder for people watching . “ like , look at them ⸺ “ eyes motion to the couple a few table away on their left , both sharing one side of a bench , feeding each other spoonfuls of ice cream as they sit what looks like a little too close for comfort , “ either they’re on a first date or that guy is just utterly more into her than she is into him . . . or she’s disgusted by the faint smell of cow shit coming from over by the petting zoo . “ ( @hcerin )
❝ i'd guess there would be a solid three percent of couples attending that view this as a legitimate date, ❞ rina hummed half-jokingly, half-thoughtfully. ❝ i fear some people do like that stuffy, sweaty feeling that is only brought by hanging around a carnival or festival for too long. don't know how, but to each their own, ❞ rina shrugged in a nonchalant manner then grinned at aria's next words. she leaned in, whispering conspiratorially, ❝ i'm guessing second date, only just getting over first date jitters — and to seem nice she let him choose the ice cream flavor — but she hates mint chip, and him choosing it was a deal breaker, ❞ rina giggled silently at the thought for a split second before she let out a sentimental sigh. ❝ i've got to say, sharing ice cream does seem like a nice idea for a date. i mean, i haven't been on a date for so long, so i might be wrong... please forgive me if i sound like a desperate loner. ❞

“ do you want one ? ” hayden asks [ your muse ] as she hauls a mesh bag filled with stuffed animals over her shoulder . guess this is what happens an archer with excellent aim decides to take a crack at the game booths . “ i tried to tell them that i really don’t need all these but they insisted so here we are . ”
❝ oh, thank you so much! ❞ rina gasped in delight, plucking out a cat plushie from the stranger's bag. ❝ you know, if you're up to it, i've a good mind to drag you along to a game booth next to the cotton candy machine. there's a particular teddy bear i've got my eye on, and i need some help winning it. ❞
she's just messing with him , and he knows it , but that doesn't stop him from pouting about it . " i would literally never show my face in public again if i actually hit you . " he shakes his head , pout breaking into a grin , and shoving his hands into the pockets of his jacket to keep from NERVOUSLY fidgeting around . rina just makes him so ... flustered ! he's gotta try and save face somehow . " make it up to you ? " he smiles , biting down on the inside of his cheek . " alright , let me take you out then ... do you have plans for the day ? " he surely sounds confident , but it's all a front : he sorta feels like exploding right now . this isn't even a DATE though , right ? there's no reason for him to be getting the jitters . eyebrows raise in surprise at her next words , letting out a little snort , " — god , don't tell me that ! " of course he'd seen the articles that praise him as some sort of RIZZ GOD , but he didn't think anyone actually believed that . hand comes up to wipe over his face , " ... that just makes me sound like a douche . i swear i'm not ! "
his pout just might be the cutest thing rina has ever seen, and she was sure she wasn't able to keep up with teasing him any longer — at least not if myles kept looking at her with those puppy eyes. the songwriter started playing with her fingers, hoping that the action could somehow get her through this conversation. ❝ no — i'm all yours for the rest of the day. i've actually been craving cheeseburgers lately, would that be okay with you? ❞ rina questioned almost quietly, flustered at the thought of myles taking her out ( even though technically she had been the one to ask for it ). she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, then burst out laughing at his statement. ❝ nonsense! i don't think anyone who actually knows you would think that. you're genuinely, like, the sweetest person ever, ❞ she grinned from ear to ear, making eye contact with myles so that he would know she was being sincere. ❝ whoever your next girlfriend may be, she's a very lucky person. ❞

“ is the heater on high ? i get wanting to stay warm and coat check exists but i swear , it’s like their goal is to turn this department store into a sauna . ”
❝ i think it's a nice change from the chilly weather outside, actually, ❞ rina confessed with a shy smile. but lari was right — the temperature was warmer than the typical department store. ❝ we can go to another store if you'd like. i'm sure there'll be cuter clothes elsewhere. ❞
yejin always had a soft spot of her friendship with rina, she knew she wasn't always around but when she was she made sure to give her full attention and care. which wasn't always, but she tried to show up when it mattered. "of course. i'm like you're number one fan, i adore you and your music. now, please tell me all about it! i'd love to hear what you've been up to. i'd tell you what i have been but, i promise you you're better off, it's all the same, anyways." yejin never realized just how much she missed rina until she was right there in front of her. "i could go for a cold brew, but.. i probably don't need to be more wired than i already am. i had like, three already, maybe i should get a tea? without caffeine though!"
although she was quick to push the underlying problems her friendship with yejin had under the rug, rina also couldn't be happier that yejin had asked her to talk about music, one of the few things she was sure she was passionate about. ❝ i'm always working on new songs, of course. right now my entire discography is under fifteen minutes and that just isn't right! it should be the length of — i don't know — one car ride around new york, traffic included, ❞ rina rambled. ❝ although that could take a whole week. alright, that's my goal — to create enough songs that would last the length of seven days. ❞ she took another sip from her coffee and shrugged. ❝ i think the green tea they serve here is pretty amazing. your choice, though. ❞
thank god he hadn't hit her . myles would've been kicking himself forever . that's gotta be a world - record for fumbling a girl — before he'd even admitted any sort of CRUSH . he wouldn't be surprised though ... so far , his track record was dismal ... couldn't even keep a fiancée . myles had come to accept that he was probably just CURSED somehow . " how am i ? " he repeats , pulled from his own head from her inquiry . it forces a short laugh to bubble up from his chest , shooting her a confused look . " i almost smacked you in the head with a frisbee and you're asking how i am ? " he's smiling now , shaking his head . she's ridiculous , he thinks — ridiculously cute , that is . myles feels a little JITTERY just from standing here in front of her . " i'm good , rina . " head tilts to the side , " ... y'know , when i say i wanna take a pretty girl out , i don't mean literally take her out via a frisbee . " eyes widen a little bit , " — not that we ... NO , shit . ack ! — you ARE pretty , rina . i think you're really pretty ! " he reaches up to smack himself on the forehead . " ... that was a bad joke . i'm sorry . you're stunning , i mean it . "
as the shock wore off, rina felt a sense of giddiness more than anything. she hadn't even realized she had asked myles how he was until he parroted the question back to her. truth be told, it wasn't entirely from her being frazzled by the frisbee — she was also genuinely concerned about myles' wellbeing. it was the reason she approached him in this park in the first place. it didn't help that she found him almost unbearably adorable all the time, even though he almost smacked her in the head a moment ago. ❝ actually, i think that frisbee just nearly killed me, ❞ rina gasped in a playful manner, dramatically touching the back of her hand to her forehead in an attempt to mess with myles further. ❝ i believe you have to make it up to me now, ❞ she teased. the rush of compliments from him made her heart beat a little faster. you're stunning, the words echoed in her head, and suddenly, it felt as if the sun itself was shining brightly from inside her. rina laughed lightly and punched myles in the shoulder. ❝ you're not so bad yourself — and you know it, don't you? i swear people call you a woman magnet. ❞
please, be patient with me
