fingertips linger upon pinkish lips just as a giggle is threatening to bubble from the back of annie’s throat, pinkish lips stretched into a smile due to the kind of adoration flowing through her veins as she looked up to jae— and not only that, but the redness on his ears have her wanting to stomp her vans clad feet on the ground and gush about how he was the cutest little thing when timid and when he wasn’t all over her, making her whimper and force her head back by a tug on her hair like that one night in the kitchen– because in her eyes, she was the reason of the shyness she has caught on by the way his eyes floated to the floor every time they held eye contact. she wonders if she looked like that to him, too. annie couldn’t help but giggle at the roses comment, a sweet blush dusting upon the porcelain of her cheeks as she gives the beautiful bouquet—-her bouquet a quick look, heart beat currently skipping multiple steps with the knowledge that he had spent moments going back and forth to get something for her. it was so surreal, she thinks, having him thinking and considering little things for her. “ honestly, it’s like you knew sunflowers are my favorite flowers. i love them. ” she smiled, finally looking away from him to both caress another sunflower petal and blink rather quickly to keep her tears in. tears continue to gloss over brown irises as she looked up at jae’s but, insecurity making her hold onto the bouquet hard but not hard enough to ruin them because, although she doubted he would ever do such a thing to her or anyone, what if it was just a joke? sue her, the brunette was just used to other individuals dropping a but when she felt like she was on a cloud. fortunately enough, the peck on her cheek has her floating and ignoring the bubbling insecurity in her veins, fingertips that were once caressing upon a pretty white flower floating over the area his lips have been pressed. ah, fuck, annie would have whispered if only the little action hadn’t left her breathless, looking down to the ground as she felt incredibly shy as she giggled and motioned him to follow her to the building’s entrance.
“ does that mean you’re mine for the rest of the day? ” annie asked casually, steady feet leading her up to her floor while looking down at jae over the small of her shoulder, a tiny smile slowly playing upon the pink and glossy of her lips. the innocence on the stretch of her lips have nothing against the gleaming playfulness in her eyes, only looking away when her eyes had lingered on the beautiful boy behind her for more than a second or two— done only for the sake for her not to trip and embarass herself in front of her crush. this thought alone has her giggling until she walked into her apartment, brown hues eyeing him for a moment, not even casual by the way she was looking him up and down, until she’s closing the door behind him. she smiled at his words and nodded. “ you can leave the light one here, yes. but that one, ” she motions to the heavier bag with a little nod, moving to place her keys into a bowl next to the other bag. “ could you pretty please take it to the kitchen table, baby? i will put them away until later but it would be helpful to have everything there when i do so. ” she commented with a little mumble, eyes moving away from him to scan through her little sanctuary and make sure that everything was in order and that keroppi had behaved when she was away. holding the bouquet close to her still aching chest, annie took in a deep breath and looked back at jae, following him into the kitchen as she tried everything in her power not to sound eager, pathetic, needy as she parted her lips and chirped a breathy “ are you going to stay for a bit? ” up to him.
“ i mean, ” annie tucked a wavy strand of hair behind her ear, demeanour calm and relaxed compared to the way her heart was racing because of jae and jae only. that was annie to you, someone who pretended she was calm when she was actually freaking out. “ you don’t have to leave now. ” she mumbled softly and rather shyly because she wanted him to stay, looking over the heavy grocery bag as she pulls a pretty glass vase from under the counter. “ i actually bought a box of white tea at the market… i can prepare some for us if you do stay? or maybe some hibiscus? ” was she making it obvious that she’s been holding onto jae’s favorite teas ever since he has told her about them? perhaps, but she seriously wanted him to stay just a little bit longer with her. annie refuses to put the flowers down as she starts filling the vase with water, looking back at him with an amiable smile as a giggle threatens to slip past her lips. “ you can sit in the living room if you want to. i will be right there in a minute, i just have to prepare everything. ”
jae’s heart raced as the pet name made another appearance, head nodding before he turned to take the bag to where she wanted it to be and did his best to hide the smile that wanted to fight it’s way across his lips. it was pathetic the way one word slipping past her lips made him feel as if he were burning up, wondering if one day he’d be able to call her the same name, and maybe even others. his hopes were getting way up, but that’s usually what would happen when he was around annie. ever since the day he had met her, jae could feel himself grow excited just to be around her. now, it was a different feeling. still one he couldn’t pinpoint, but he couldn’t be mad at how genuinely happy he felt around her. her question only lead to everything he felt to intensify. did she really want him to stick around? was she just being polite? of course, jae would do his best to make sure he didn’t seem eager or jump at the chance to say yes. instead, he gave a soft nod of his head, looking to her with a tinge of a smile. he allowed her to continue to speak, listening to her words and her offer and the tea selections she had. his favorites. was it just a coincidence? probably. but it just lead jae to believe she was just that much mire perfect.
“yeah,” he started, making his way over to where she stood, keeping his distance as he watched her fill the vase. he couldn’t hide the smirk that crept it’s way onto his face, loving the fact that she loved the flowers he spent an hour picking out for her - reassuring him that he did, in fact, do a good job. not to mention he made a mental note of her favorite flower the moment she said it. now, jae was sure that anywhere he went, there’d be one of the flowers randomly placed - causing his mind to travel back to the memory of the look on her face when he gave her the flowers and told them they were for her. eyes glazed over with a blank stare before he could get the smallest smile out of her. and now, there she was - holding on to the bouquet as if they’d disappear the moment she put them down. “white tea sounds perfect right now.” he said softly, eyes still glued to her, head cocking to the side gently as she finally laid her eyes on him. “it’s my favorite. i on’t think i’d ever say no to white tea.” she chuckled out softly, feet leading him a few steps closer as he eyed the flowers in her hand and the vase in the other. “or hibiscus. i love that one, too. whichever you prefer, really. i’m not picky.”
suddenly, jae was closer than he remembered getting to annie. he had heard her tell him he could wait in the living room, but he didn’t jump at the opportunity to leave the room just yet. before he knew it, an arm was wrapped around her waist, his lips finding the same spot on her cheek as before as he left a soft peck against it. “are you sure?” he questioned, the other arm joining the first around the girl’s tiny waist, his chin resting on her shoulder as he spoke. “i can help. maybe put the groceries away. or make the tea. or just stand here and look at you. or kiss you.” he teased, leaving another kiss in the same spot - again, and again, and again. the round of small pecks against her cheek was playful, the boy’s lips turning upward into a smile as he left a trail of small, playful pecks against her cheek and allowed them to trail down to her jaw line, eventually landing on the bare skin of her neck. he left himself there, taking a second to breath in the girl that he had been missing for days by now. “or maybe not because i might just be a distraction.” a soft chuckle left his lips before he left a few more kisses against her jaw, soft ones that weren’t as playful, but a bit more meaningful that the others. “let me know if you need me.” he told her, one last kiss to her cheek before he removed himself from around her, his arms falling back to his side, but his smile sill present and refusing to disappear. he eventually turned, forcing himself to leave the room at settle himself on the couch in the living room.
