daphne && natasha brought to you by vee

Kyu couldn’t help the smile on his face, this wasn’t the first time she had done something like this. But he definitely hoped it wouldn’t be the last. The more he thought about it, the more real it became.  Maybe this was him being strong, maybe this was him holding it all because if he let it go, it would only make this harder. “It’s not goodbye.” he stated softly, “It’s see you later.” his smile then turned into a frown as he gazed up at the sky. “You know even the stars are million miles away but share the same night.”

with a swift move, natasha had gone from resting on the blanket to standing on her knees, her body facing him. “you know, you’re super cheesy.” he managed to bring back her smile. “i’ve never really been one for it.” she brought her hand up to his face, specifically his lips. her fingers lightly ran against the bottom one and then moved to rest along his jawline. her face inched closer to his as he gently made him face her. “but i always want to hear you say them.” all she was doing as acting as she normally would with him. is what confusing? should she stop? back away? suddenly, she made herself sit back, pulling away and letting out an exasperated sigh. “i’m going to cause something you regret so i’m implementing a two-feet-rule. mainly for myself, of course.”

He couldn’t help the laugh that escaped him once they settled and she pointed out the pair of stars. Nat would never fail to make his cheeks blush “Is that what you see?” he stated with a smile.

she loved how easily she could make him laugh, especially knowing no one else really got to see this side of him. “yes! you don’t? look.” her finger traced the shape, leaving behind a glow that faded into the air. now she was just making obscene drawings with her magic. as her laughter died out, her expression turned more serious and she got lost in her thoughts for a moment. “this isn’t going to work anymore, is it? i want to have a nice time together, but it’s not the same.”

Looking back at her, he waited for her to finish what she was trying to say.  He’d go anywhere with her “Of course.” he stated with a smile, taking her hand in his.

after she had transported them to the cliff and poofed a little setup, she let herself fall back onto the blanket. “i swear i’m not trying to ruin the mood but those stars over there are totally making a pair of tiddies.” her arm was stretched out, pointing above them. “right?”

Feeling her this close to him felt like she was meant to be, every moment he spent with her was filled with life, with happiness. No one could ever understand it looking from the outside in, and they didn’t need to because she understood him. He wanted her to know how much he cared, how much she made him feel and just how much she has changed and impacted him. Kyu understood what she was saying, that she needed to fully be her own person before she could give any part of herself to him. His heart felt heavy, the thought of not being with her like this was a thought he didn’t want to come across. He wondered if she could hear how crazy his heart was beating at the moment, beating at this embrace, beating for her. He only held her tighter to him, because words would never express enough, his emotions yes. It felt as if they were breaking up, and it didn’t register to him until this very moment, her words, and spoke how she felt. “We can.” he stated softly, holding her to him, afraid that if he let go, she would disappear.

the moment lasted much longer than it felt. natasha pulled away just enough to comfortably look up at him. “is it okay if...” her voice trailed off, unsure if what she ask about to ask would be okay, “can we go to the cliff?”

Kyu was in a mixture of emotions, it was as if he had taken a roller coaster and his emotions went through them all. He was normally quiet yes, but even now, after the exchange of words, hurt still remained. Hurt that he upset her and hurt that she they should stop. Deep in his thoughts he didn’t realize she had come closer to him, reaching for his hands. The natural affect of Nat, and his heart skipping a beat at a simple thing as touch. But his eyes never left hers, even if sometimes he was hard to read, his gaze spoke volumes. She stated she didn’t do relationships like this, maybe he was hopeful that they were different. He didn’t expect her next set of words, and it struck him all the more. Listening to her, it struck a chord in his heart, and he wondered who had hurt her. Made her want to keep people at a distance? Kyu also knew that everyone had a story, just like he himself did too. He didn’t want to be quiet all the time, or not interact, that was something he had to work on. His emotions overtook him, as he pulled her to him, wrapping her in a hug. Seeing her like this, it was like it was hurting him too. Kyu kept his emotions in check, even if he could feel the tears wanting to escape but he held it in. At the same time, he wanted her to know that he was here for her, that he cares deeply, and that he’d never want to hurt her. “I’ve never felt this way about someone.” he stated honestly “When you said we should stop. “ he paused to take a breath “that scared me.”

even with both their emotions running high he seemed to stay composed. it felt like he knew exactly what to do to help her relax. her ear was pressed against his chest, listening to his heartbeat as she returned his embrace. she thought about how much she didn’t deserve this. kyu was always understanding of all the things she made him put up with. he was sweet and kind and took care of her. it would be selfish of her to continue this way with him. he wanted more and at the moment this was all she could offer. “i’m so sorry i acted that way. i don’t want to stop, but,” she gave him a light squeeze. “i don’t want to go into this until i’m the best version of myself. it’s not fair to you.” all she could hope for now was that he could see where she was coming from. she didn’t want to upset him any more than what she already has. even if they weren’t a couple, it felt as if they were breaking up. “i’m tired. can we just stay like this for a bit?” they were going to have to discuss it further but in this moment, she just wanted him to keep holding her.

He felt there was a long pause, of them both not saying anything, he didn’t know what was going on in her mind. It worried him, he didn’t mean to upset her like this. His eyes remained on her as he watched her, how she collected herself, and he couldn’t help but blame himself for it. I’m sorry. he heard her say and he felt relief, yet the sadness still weighed heavy on him. Listening to her he nodded his head in understanding. “I understand.” he didn’t want her to feel pressured in telling him something if she wasn’t ready to. “ I do want to hear what is on your mind, how you feel. We do need to talk, just know that I never meant to upset you.”

her body moved naturally as she reached to hold hands. she looked at him, really looked at him. all she wanted was to do was take back everything she said and to feel his warmth as he looked at her the way he usually did. “you’ve known me long enough to know that i never do relationships like this. it’s for a reason. i have this preconceived notion that i’m always going to be the one more invested and it really hurts then someone doesn’t care about you or love you as much as you love them. when people decide they’re done and leave, it feels like you’re never going to be able to breathe again. like your heart got ripped right out of you.” she felt herself start to tremble, recalling all the emotions she was trying to describe. “i don’t want to go through that again, so it’s just easier for me to keep everyone at a distance, but you make me want to risk it all. that terrifies me.”

why was he doing this? he didn’t want to do this, it was a question that was on his mind, he just wanted to know where they stood. Not even he could stop himself from his words, because his emotions often overruled him “Dating could last for a time, I thought we were at a point of a relationship. was that wishful thinking on my end? to think of being more, feeling more? wanting to be more?” he stated looking at her. “I’m telling you how I feel, was I wrong? am I the only one feeling this —” he cut himself off listening to the rest of her words. we. should. stop. the words repeated only they were not of her voice or of his own. stop. stop. stop. a cool chill ran up his spine, and he could already sense the spirits. He could handle their taunting, they just picked the wrong time to do so. “Stop?” he repeated her words, as he himself was processing just exactly what she was saying. stopping this, stopping their friendship? stopping them? and that suddenly made things worse, like something hit him, or knocked his breath. reality or maybe the force of such words.

she knew she had to calm down and actually talk to him. it shouldn’t have been so difficult, and yet here she was, making it hard for them both. relationships were a touchy subject, but he couldn’t possibly know since she never talked to him about it. nat knew he had every right to bring up their status after acting as more than friends for so long. after taking a deep breath and quickly fanning her face in an attempt to hold it together, natasha turned to face him. the expression on his face caused her stomach to turn. why was she hurting him like this? why was she hurting them? “i’m sorry.” her voice was quiet and she couldn’t the disappointment in herself. “there’s a lot we need to talk about, but i don’t know if i can get through it.”

He wasn’t expecting that reaction at all, he didn’t think he’d ever seen her react like that. was it his fault? did he say the wrong thing. communication was important , and he thought by telling her this she could understand where he was coming from. Yet, he suddenly felt the blood rushed away from his face, heart dropping further. this is not how he imagined this would go. time had passed, he thought it had progressed, but Nat made it sound like it didn’t change. Kyu could feel the atmosphere shift, and suddenly his walls were coming up now, he felt like shifting away, hiding away. Taking in a breath, he closed his eyes, calming himself because he honestly couldn’t contain what he was feeling inside, a mixture of sadness, hurt, and defeat. “ I like you. A lot Nat. “ he stated and then at the mention of her saying if it’s not enough. “How could you ever think that you’re not enough, that this is not enough?” he paused. “I’m just being honest, letting you know my thoughts.”

only what she wanted to hear stuck. it was a method of self-sabotage she was completely self-aware of, but it was hard to stop. “then why are you doing this? we were fine. i thought we were great. what was it?” she could feel her eyes starting to water. “you’re just not happy with me as i am, so we should stop.” as soon as she ended that sentence she turned around, feeling like the tears would fall at any moment and she didn’t want him to see. “you can leave if you want to.”

“I don’t believe capability is why they put you there,” Levi said, speaking her mind, a little more willing to snap back now that Daphne seemed to be on the offensive, but she kept her calm delivery of words despite how irritating she found the other. “If we all just thought about the big picture and nothing else, then this place would be an absolute mess. What does your big picture look like, by the way? The only prominent thing you’ve done so far is add an ice rink.”

her expression seemed to be the closest it could get to the gavin face. she really hated dealing with levi. “you’re just mad nepotism wasn’t on your side this time.” the smile that found it’s way onto her lips could’ve fooled anyone into thinking these two were friends. “this place is already a mess. there’s so much that could be done to improve the conditions plus the way we fit into the world. we could better our educational resources and live in an open--why am i talking to you about this? the ice rink is there for me. it’s a little selfish, but i can admit that about myself. take some notes.”

Not together. that was the part that left him feeling uneasy, and it also made him feel like his heart hit the floor. His heart was racing, and he was at a loss for words, he could feel a coolness over take him, cold chill, and suddenly he felt as if he was embarrassed. Nodding his head, she answered his question, but it still hurt to hear it all the same. “what does that even mean?” his voice was steady but something didn’t feel right, he was saddened. Kyu kept his eyes on her, even if she made no eye contact “Do you….not…want to be?” the words came out slow, as if he was processing them himself, he was confused yes, but also unsure. Unsure where they stood, if they were anything at all.

natasha absolutely detested dealing with any actual emotions. she wanted to end this conversation, not liking the way it made everything inside her feel as if was getting tighter. something about his question caused her to snap--to get defensive. “i don’t understand why you’re bringing this up so suddenly. i thought it was clear where i stood before we started this.” it was difficult to keep her own mind from racing through all the thoughts where she convinced herself she was at fault for him not being satisfied with where they were. “this is what i can offer you right now and if it’s not enough, i don’t know what to tell you.”

He noted her movements and her reaction after he finished speaking, hanging out and having fun. yes, they’ve spent time together, going on dates, hanging out, but was that it. “Is that it? we’re dating right?” eventually that turns into something more. “Are we not together?” he guessed he just wanted to hear that they were an item, with them not having labels, he didn’t know what this implied. He didn’t see other people. “It’s not that I don’t think it’s good, I just want to know if we are something more?” dating implied seeing if there was a possible relationship, a connection. Kyu really hoped his words weren’t taken the wrong way.

she couldn’t understand where all of this was coming from. had she done something wrong? did she say something she shouldn’t have? “we’re not.” there was an obvious tone of confusion in her voice. “we’re not doing labels and i’m not the relationship type.” she looked away, not wanting to meet his eyes. “we're something more, but,” her eyes focused on a random spot on his chest as she kept her head a little low,  “we’re not officially together.”

He shook his head no but enjoyed the close contact between them “That was interesting, watching everyone fight for candyland.” he chuckled and then smiled after she placed a kiss on his lips. At her words he lightly turn a shade of red, he wondered if he ever was going to not blush whenever she said such things. But he wanted to ask his question. “my question is about us.” he stated looking at her. “Where we are at.” he paused. “What are we Nat?” he asked, they weren’t friends, and she stated they were dating, but was that it? it’s not that something was wrong, but he just wanted clarification.

nat had gotten ahead of herself and was halfway down his jawline, leaving behind faint marks of her sheer lipstick, when the mention of an ‘us’ caused her to pull away. “we’re just hanging out, having fun. right?” she didn’t want to have this conversation, especially right now. she let go on him and took a small step back. “i thought everything was good. you don’t? ”

He wasn’t expecting her tackling him but it made him laugh all the while. Landing on top of her, he smiled. “Of course.” he stated as he leaned in to kiss her lips. He then got up, pulling her up with him. He took her wrist, and lightly placed a kiss on the inside, it was his way of greeting her when he saw her. “I actually brought you here to ask you something.” he stated feeling a little nervous, he honestly never done this before.

she couldn’t help pouting then he pulled away, but she leaned into him after he helped her up and kissed her wrist. naturally, her arms wrapped around his neck, keeping her face only inches away from his. “is it about the tournies? because i really thought it was going to be more fun.” she got on her toes for another kiss before gently pulling him down so their foreheads would touch. “wanna cheer me up?” a faint smile rested on her lips as she teased him.

@loonairity​ || NAT

After the event he couldn’t believe the tolerance he had for drinking. Watching everyone fighting against one another for the simple pleasure of candyland was quite a sight to see.  Lately a lot of things have been on his mind, particularly Nat. He knew they discussed trying , but he wanted to know if they were something more than that. It was all new to him still but he couldn’t help but express this. The only way he could was by talking to her, so he asked her to meet him by the park, he liked the open area. Smiling at his phone, he waited for her to arrive.

being asked to meet somewhere by kyu usually meant he had prepared something for her, so it was safe to say nat was excited. she poofed herself close enough to where he was in her line of sight and the joy of seeing him took over. in typical nat fashion, she started running to him, only slowing down once she was close enough to take a small leap and tackle him, shifting him to land on top and softening the landing with her magic. “hey, miss me?”

“Yeah…” Jiah trailed off with a soft laugh as she finished something up on her own tablet. “I can only imagine. Especially when you have a bunch of gods with powers. Must be an insane price to keep the maintenance of the building.” She said as she looked up to the other. Even though she took care of certain areas of the building, the areas she had were usually calmer. So, she didn’t deal too much with the breaking of things, although it definitely did happen more often than she would like. Which is never.

“maybe everyone needs to train more since they’re so out of control.” she sighed, laying her head on the table in defeat. “wanna trade? the pay really isn’t worth it.” after sitting back up, she took this opportunity to ask jiah some questions. “what do you think, though? is there anything that would make the demicenter easier to manage? is the library doing okay? i’m thinking of upgrading the counselor's office so there’s more incentive to be one, which should make some people get their act together.”

“Daphne.” Levi greeted her with a curt nod. There was no hiding that the daughter of Circe wasn’t happy that she was running the place, but she wasn’t about to yell at her about it. Instead, she just purses her lips in disapproval. “There are appropriate budgets for both repairs and miscellaneous expenses, but personal expenses are another thing altogether.”

it was too late by the time she realized it was levi. she wasn’t known to be professional, even if she was trying since she was put in charge and all, so the way she spoke to the other wasn’t quite out of character. “oh my gods, this might be a little shocking since no one seems to tell you this but, shut up. think about the big picture, okay? it’s why you’re not in my position.”

❝ sorry, daphne… ❞  kat tried to look as apologetic as possible, eyes wide and pout quivering. technically, she wasn’t really sorry. if given the chance to make a mess, she would do it again. but ever since daphne came back, kat did feel extra guilty about it.  ❝ i won’t do it again, i promise. ❞  a lie.

the twins had always been everyone’s worst nightmare, but she knew kat was the one to watch out for the most. “i’ll believe you when you actually last more than a week without pulling any stunts.” she was going to walk away, having other things to do, but then she remembered kat was one of the main teachers. “hey, when is your next class? i’m thinking about sitting in. i heard you killed a student once so i just want to see what your current methods are.” she sounded a little too impressed, but she really wanted to know the story there.
