A Ruff Start | Georgia and Neil

[🐎] — At the sound of a knock followed by her favorite voice, Georgia drops everything she’s doing to rush to the door. Goodness gracious, was it really the day?

“Hey!” She opens the door with a breathless grin, wasting no time in wrapping her boyfriend up in a big hug. “Welcome home. Hehe~”

♬‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ — When she opens the door with a warm smile and words of “welcome home,” his heart skipped a beat, but settled into a warm pit in his stomach. This was going to be his home. Ever since his mom passed, nothing ever really felt like home. Although this wasn’t quite the same, it was a new beginning that made him feel excited, nervous, but also at peace. It was...nice, for a lack of better words.

She hugs him and he would have hugged back, but he had a box in his hands.

“Whoa, whoa, easy there. I have a box, a few actually, are you going to help or just stand there looking cute?” The words slipped out of his mouth faster than he expected, but thankfully, his dog was there to bark aggressively at Georgia, snapping him out of his thoughts.

A Ruff Start | Georgia and Neil

@rxzberries

♬‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ — Neil knocks on the door of Georgia’s house with a few boxes near his feet, along with his animals, and one box in his arms.

“Georgia, open up! You have visitors!”

[🐎] — She chuckles, smiling at him adoringly as he pulls her close. “Heh, guilty as charged…” Humming, she buries her face into his neck with a smile— her lips stretching even further when she hears his follow up compliment, voiced quiet and sweetly, like a secret admission. Something precious, meant for only the two of them.

As he pulls away, Georgia tilts her head curiously when Neil begins to list off a few things. The first one alone was enough to make her happy, but the second had come as a total shock. Up to this point, most of their dates usually consisted of quality time spent at home. Rarely did they ever do anything special, like go out to fancy restaurants, or shows at the theatre, or… whatever people liked to do on dates.

Neil, introvert that he was, just wasn’t the type to do that sort of thing, and Georgia was a homebody herself, so she was fine with it. But the thought of going out on some fancy date, all dolled up and draped on her boyfriend’s arm as they went about town… parading their relationship in public, for everyone to see? Why, it brought an unimaginable heat to her cheeks.

But she actually didn’t hate the idea at all. In fact, Georgia felt pretty… excited.

“W-well,” She sways on the spot, their joined hands swinging as she ducks her head to hide her reddened cheeks. Goodness, look at her! Fawning like a smitten schoolgirl… “To one? Absolutely. And to two… I would really like that. No, I’d love it.”

Still feeling all sorts of bashful, she lightly kicks him in the leg. “S-so you better make it a good one, y’hear me? We’ve got a lotta lost time to catch up on…” And though she did partly mean that (he DID miss her birthday, after all), what mattered most to Georgia was simply spending time with him. They could sit by the river talking all day, and she’d still consider that an amazing date.

“So,” She looks back up at him, “What’s number three? You said you had three things to say, right?”

♬‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ — “Yeah, as long as you don’t make it such a big deal or do something embarrassing.” He scoffed. “But, I owe you my time, and a lot of it. Besides, I’m friends with one of the servers—” just don’t mention that the server is Felicity “—so I’m sure I could work something out.”

Ever since the voyage they took, in combination with seeing how similar they were to the couple on that island, the fate that the two lovers had, not to mention he almost lost Georgia, he didn’t want the same thing to happen. Especially now that he knew he felt strong, intense feelings for her.

Sure, moving in was a step he’d figure they’d eventually take, but now that the offer was nearly on the table, he was less prepared to throw it out there than he thought. Just like with the other steps in this relationship, it may be something new and scary, but they were in this thing together.

It was kind of weird. He wasn’t the most confident person before this relationship, nor during, but through it, somehow, Georgia rebuilt a little here and there along with notes of reassurance that she was by his side. Hell, she even stuck by him when he couldn’t be there for her, so visiting her tonight was the least he could do.

“O-Oh, right. Um... Well, I was thinking about it a lot and...” His gaze travels to his hands which were interlocked below him and his voice gets quiet. “How would you feel if I moved in?”

He takes small glances back up at her to gauge her reaction.

[🐎] — And of course, Neil has to respond with something snarky. She laughs through her nose and closes the door behind her, head shaking. Always quick to throw out a smart comment, that one. “Hey, it’s not dumb, it’s—”

She stops when he suddenly reaches for the flower still being held behind her back. Just as she starts to wonder what he wanted with it—other than to sneeze up a storm—he puts it behind her ear.

If his compliment didn’t already have her blushing, then the tender look in his eyes certainly did. She stares back at Neil, stricken with a momentary loss for words as she takes him in. Goddess, he was so handsome. He always was, but during those rare moments when he would let his guard down and show that softer side of his… that one thought would become overpowering.

He wasn’t just handsome. He was beautiful. Inside, and out.

“Wow,” She repeats with a light, dopey giggle, smiling as she grasps his unoccupied hand with her own. “You’re one of a kind, you know that? I still wonder how I managed to end up with a guy as special as you.”

♬‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ — A year ago today, he would have never thought that he would be in this position he was in now. This little southern belle managed to capture his heart in a way no one else really had, and despite his hatred and attitude toward her in the beginning, he came to really admire all the little things like the way she talked and other mannerisms she had.

“Hey, are you teasing me?” He frowns but it doesn’t stay long as he brings her into his arms. “I guess I don’t mind it so much... Especially not coming from someone as...special as you.” He repeats low and quiet.

Before things get too embarrassing and intimate, he pulls away and takes her hands. “Hey, so two—no, three—things. 1) Can I stay over tonight? 2) Since I didn’t bring anything and I completely missed the last few events, I am obligated as your boyfriend, to take you out to dinner, a fancy one at that, to make up for it.”

[🐎] — Having his arms around her was one of the best feelings in the world. And, as much as she wanted to stay like this, she knew they’d have to let go eventually. They always did. But whatever disappointment she might have felt at the loss of contact was quickly replaced by amusement as she takes in his flustered behavior.

Gosh, he could be really cute sometimes.

She would have gushed a bit more, but when he starts sneezing, Georgia scrambles to put the flower behind her back. It probably wouldn’t help much, but it was a lot better than waving it around in his face. “O-Oh, sorry! And sure, sure!”

Stepping aside, she gestures for him to come in. Laughing, she adds, “What d’you think I invited you here for?”

♬‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ — Neil enters her house and even though it wasn’t his, she still had a way of making it feel like home within the first impression from the cozy cabin-like general aura to the meticulously placed details around the house. Very Georgia-esque. So, he responds to her—no doubt rhetorical—question with a snarky answer of his own.

“Tch... To give me dumb flowers, obviously.” He chuckles and reaches behind her back to pluck the flower from her hand.

“Thanks, but I think this suits you better.” He waves the flower around before tucking it along with a piece of hair behind her ear.

His hand lingers near her ear and he stares at her. “Wow.” He lets the words escape from his lips.

Something New

rxzberries‌:

[🐎] — The knocking at door gets her attention immediately, and Georgia eagerly hops up from the sofa to answer it. She’s grinning and a little breathless by the time she reaches the door, and when she opens it, she wastes no time in wrapping her arms around him in a hug. It’s felt like it’s been forever since she’s gotten to see him.

“Hi!” Giggling, she pulls away, growing bashful as she begins to realize how weird she was probably acting. “U-Uh, happy Flower Festival… I know you don’t like flowers, but… I got this—”

She takes a step back to keep from triggering his allergies, and holds up the orange snapdragon. “Means ‘deception’. You could possibly even call it a hate flower~” Her lips tug up into a smirk at the memory of last year’s festival, when he went through all that trouble to give her something similar. “Hehe, remember that?”

♬‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ — When he’s greeted in a warm hug, he wraps his arms around her and buries his face into her hair for a second, taking in her warmth and scent. Yeah, he had a good feeling about this.

When she pulls away with the brightest smile and chipper expression just to see him, his cheeks and ears heat up and he has to look away for a second to recollect himself. Damn, why’d she have to be so cute?

Neil redirects his attention to her and stares down at the flower. The hate flower he gave to her as a... revenge kind of moment? He wasn’t really sure now since that happened a year ago and he couldn’t imagine having those same feelings now. Wow, so a lot really could change in a year.

“Yeah, I—” he sneezes into the crook of his elbow—”I don’t have anything for you, but um...”

He scratches the back of his neck. “Can I actually come inside?”

Something New

@neildownpeasant;

[🐎] — Time waited for no one. That thought had been sticking in her head lately, and had been the main motivator behind Georgia calling Neil up for a visit. For the last few holidays and events… White Day… her birthday… she had been too busy to go and actually visit him. Hell, he’d been too busy to see her. And, well, that was that. It was life. It was sad, and kind of painful, but she wasn’t going to freak at him about it.

No matter how much she tried to rationalize it as a result of their conflicting schedules, and living on different islands, she couldn’t actually make herself think that it was okay. Because… it wasn’t, was it? It wasn’t okay for things to stay like this between them. To care about each other so much, and yet not be together.

So, in a surprising turn of events, Georgia actually doesn’t prioritize her work for once, and asks Neil to come and see her. Even more surprisingly, he agrees. Maybe he wasn’t as busy as she thought, or maybe… he was of the same mind as she was.

They wanted to see each other, responsibilities be damned.

It was a far cry to how they were a year ago, when the LAST thing they both wanted was to have to stay in the same room as the other. It was crazy, how much could change in a year. How different people could become…

As she sits on her sofa waiting for him to arrive, she twirls the stem of an orange snapdragon between her fingers. Another stark reminder of a year ago. Neil, with his flower allergy, had gone through so much trouble to get a “hate” flower for her, and she should have realized then that something was up. Or maybe she did, and just didn’t want to acknowledge it at the time.

But in a way, it was the start of something… the start of a chapter in their story, and she thought she should honor that.

#rxzberries #georgia: something new #pi:georgia

♬‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ — The Flower Festival was never his favorite partly to his spring allergies, which he seemed to experience much more intensely than others, and the other part due to dumb meanings behind said tokens of “appreciation and gratitude”. But for someone who had trouble expressing his emotions clearly, he supposed that they weren’t all that bad.

In fact, two recipients (a record for him) had received flowers from him, though he didn’t deliver it himself to spare his sinus cavities the trouble.

And the last person he would give flowers to would be Georgia, except he didn’t have anything in hand today.

For the past few events, Neil wasn’t available to attend, due to work and other things, which definitely didn’t make him lose sleep at night, but for once, he wasn’t as busy as most days so he decided to spend it with Georgia. He needed to make up for missing her birthday as well so he figured that this would be the perfect opportunity to do so.

After a couple of knocks on the door, he stood with his hands in his back pockets and weight shifted to one side as he waited for the door to swing open and out come his over-the-top, loud, but arguably favorite person to emerge.
