[ he beams, and his face— quite literally— glows. with his eyes shaped into crescents, smile toothy and nearly smug as he takes notice of the pink hue dusted on her pretty little cheeks, he offers a confirming nod; as if he wholeheartedly believes he’s got skills with the way she looks at him playfully but sincerely and how her voice chimes in this gorgeously shy laugh. it’s no doubt his chest swells with pride, ego quenched, a newly found confidence around her in the aura he’s emitting. ] If little miss florist wants. It can be like a live cooking show, minus the camera crew and television personality and… celebrity chef status, but we can make it work.

[seulgaehwa]

⊰❀⊱⇝ /she nearly rolls her eyes at the nickname, but she decides to let it slide and to allow herself to continued to be charmed by him. the happy glow he gains with each exchange of their playful banter makes him all the more gorgeous in her sight- though she'll never outright tell him as much. she intends to keep the wide, confident smile on his face, instead; a live show? hm, that's what i was hoping for, actually. i'd really love to watch and maybe learn a bit. i can't cook... or well, i never really learned. my life was devoid of a role model to teach me such things.

You can never go wrong with steak, you know. Prime cut, butcher’s choice. Grass-fed, humane treatment. I am quite the culinary connoisseur with an expertise in meat quality. [ he spurts quite lamely, fixing the collar of his shirt with a stupid grin. his eyes sparkle a bit, enjoying her adorable reactions to his silliness. ] Thank you, I try. And I only offer the most exquisite of wine selection. Gourmet restaurant quality sweet delicacies. In other words, I can cook, and well, and my chocolate cakes are hella tasty.

[seulgaehwa]

⊰❀⊱⇝ well, color me impressed. /she bites at the insides of her cheeks to keep from laughing, because this is totally a completely serious conversation and she is totally not going to laugh out of nervousness because she finds him so incredibly charming. meaning, she's already giggling at his antics and her cheeks are at a consistent rosy pink; i look forward to this steak dinner with fine wine and a tasty chocolate cake afterward. are you going to put on a show for me as well? do i get to watch, mr. master chef?

"Don’t give up. We can do it again another day" She reaffirmed, offering Seulgi a smile. She was in the same boat as her, though. Calypso seldom cooked — she didn’t need to, and if she did, it was usually sea food of some kind, not some complex list of ingredients that needed to cook for a specific amount of time and all that nonsense.

But what she said next made Calypso press her lips into a firm line. Someone did have to clean up. The place was a mess. They weren’t exactly eloquent in their cooking skills. “Alright, you’re on.” 

[seulgaehwa]

⊰❀⊱⇝ she nods along with the elder's encouragement, though she forlornly continues to scrape the bits of burned cookie from the sheet. "it'll be better next time. we'll... pay attention to the timer going off."

she grinned at the easy agreement and held out her hand, fingers curled into a fist. rock-paper-scissors was something she was good at, and she could generally anticipate what her opponent would throw out, either through their expression or just body language in general. "alright, ready?"

[ he found her contemplative face endearing; the way she looked off thoughtfully as a pretty little finger taps idly at her chin has him smiling just a little bit more. ] Of course. Fun fact: I’m not so bad in the kitchen. [ he gives the apron’d girl a look of confidence, feigning him tipping a top hat humbly before he straightens back up with a grin, casually leaning over the counter, now. ] You can’t go wrong with steak. Do you like steak? I hope you like steak— but if you don’t, that’s cool. I can do chicken or tuna, or make something with shrimp. Hey, do you have any food allergies? [ he doesn’t even realize he’s rambling, his head tilting a bit as his brows scrunch together in curiosity as he asks the last question, blinking twice. ]

[seulgaehwa]

⊰❀⊱⇝ /a small, fond smile spreads across her lips as he rambles on, and she lets him speak without interruption until he asks a question and prompts her for an answer; i don't have any allergies at all, no worries. steak is perfectly fine with me. as is everything else you mentioned, but a steak- you know how to woo a woman. /she snorts softly, her voice lilting slightly and making her tone playful. she isn't experienced with flirting, but it's worth a try in her opinion, and the endearing expression of curiosity displayed on his face is encouraging; what else have you got up your sleeve? are you going to offer me fine wine as well? dessert?

[jongeki-blog]

I wasn’t actually insulted, by the way. [ he straightens up, his arms falling from the counter top to his sides, a right thumb hooked in one of his belt loops. ] We can make a nine-thirty dinner happen. Would you like to be taken out or brought back to my place so I can improvise what to serve you? [ there’s a small smile gracing his lips as he took notice of her pink-dusted cheeks, subtle thoughts of how precious she looked when being woo’d and he imagines kissing her tenderly. nibbling on his lower lip, he closes his eyes and lowers his head for a second for erase that image flashing through his mind. ]

[seulgaehwa]

⊰❀⊱⇝ /she tilts her head as she thinks it over, tapping a finger against her chin. both options sound appealing to her, and it takes her a little while to actually decide; hm, how about we go back to your place and you wow me with your cooking skills- you meant that you intend to cook, right? /she subconsciously winds and unwinds a strip of flower tape from her finger, an attempt to keep herself from fidgeting too much and giving away her excitement- as well as the slight edge of nervousness she feels. she isn't accustomed to boys- men paying this kind of attention to her. she was always the slightly awkward, quiet, and shy one, always overlooked as a love interest;

[jongeki-blog]

hot shot? [ he repeats with an offended tone, brows raised defensively. but with a shake of his head and a purse of his plush lips, he brushes the minor insult away. ] i’d like to take you out according to the best time that suits the princess’s busy schedule. i want to be seen as a potential prince charming, not a pest getting in your way. [ a smooth smile etches his lips, the outer corners of his eyes crinkling the slightest bit as to offer her an eye smile. ]

[seulgaehwa]

⊰❀⊱⇝ i- /she stops short, a pout forming on her lips; i didn't mean that as an insult- /she sighs softly at herself, attempting to keep her reaction to his flattery from showing on her face. she, of course, fails, and the slight blush from before deepens considerably, because wow, he's really charming; well... i usually close up shop around nine-thirty. if that's not too late...

[jongeki-blog]

And what if I am? [ he challenges, arching an inquisitive brow as he leans in, his voice questioning and playful. ] That is, if the flower girl is free later on today.

[seulgaehwa]

⊰❀⊱⇝ /she isn't expecting that in the least, the way she suddenly pauses giving away her shock. she whirls around to face him, studying his face for a moment for any hint of dishonesty, and she's satisfied when she finds none; depends on what time the hot shot model wants to pick her up.

[seulgaehwa]

jongeki replied to your post “[ he grins when he's noticed, now entering the shop. ] Your favorite customer is back.”

Yes. Favorite customer. (` he leans over the counter, supporting himself up with folded arms resting over the surface. ) I've got a day for myself. I decided to pay you a visit, so yeah, I guess you can say that.

⊰❀⊱⇝ wow, i'm flattered. /she turns back to what she was doing behind the counter- arranging a bouquet that was to be picked up later that day- for the sake of hiding the slight dusting of a blush along her cheeks; next thing you know, you'll be asking me out to dinner.

[seulgaehwa]

[ he grins when he's noticed, now entering the shop. ] Your favorite customer is back.

⊰❀⊱⇝ favorite customer, huh? /she laughs softly under her breath but doesn’t disagree, leaning over the counter as she watches him; what can i do for you today? or are you here for the pleasure of my company?

[seulgaehwa]

[ he presses his face against the cool glass door of the shop's entrance, offering the demigoddess a comical expression; a silly grin, until she'd notice him. ]

⊰❀⊱⇝ /she snorts softly when she finally notices him standing there with his face pressed against the glass, and she gives him a similarly comical expression in return, sticking her tongue out playfully;

[kalyptousa-deactivated20160830]

She watched Seulgi with much sadness in her eyes. She wanted to console her — but not quite sure on how to accomplish it. Comforting words just seemed futile at this point, and all she could do was place a hand on the other’s shoulder and give it a tight squeeze. 

"I’m sorry…" She managed to say, staring down at the burnt dough that was a far cry from what was depicted in the cooking book they seldom followed. "I guess we can try again?" 

[seulgaehwa]

⊰❀⊱⇝ she shook her head and set the baking sheet aside with a sigh of defeat. she knew cooking wasn't her strong point (not that she had a point for cooking in the first place, but who's keeping track, right?), but the recipe in the cookbook looked so easy, she couldn't help wanting to try it out. and it worked out... not so well.

however seulgi was never one to be deterred (she fully intended to try the recipe again), her demeanor ever bright, and her woes melted away as quickly as they appeared. she turned to calypso with a small smile, tilting her head slightly to hide the sly glint that was shining in her eyes. "well, someone has to clean up this mess now, and-" she paused to look around at the dusting of flour and platters of melted chocolate that surrounded the two of them, "-i know i don't want to be it, so... rock-paper-scissors?"

[seulgaehwa]

“It's not going to get better, is it?”

⊰❀⊱⇝ seulgi looks at the other girl with a sad smile and a soft sigh. as much as she wants to be optimistic and cheerful, there is just no way she can manage at that moment. the atmosphere is gloomy, and she knows there is no way to salvage the situation at all, and that just saddens her all the more.

"unfortunately… no. there’s no way to fix this," she says, looking down at the burnt blob sitting on the baking sheet she just removed from the oven. so much for homemade chocolate chip cookies.

“It's 4 in the morning, is everything ok?”

“Some days I think I'm dying, but I'm really only trying to get through.”

“I'm trying to tell you I love you.”

“I can be perfect for you.”

“I miss the pain.”

“Nothing's real.”

“He's been dead 16 years.”

“This is fucked.”

“I know you're hurting. I am, too.”

“Can you tell me what it is you're afraid of?”

“Can I touch you?”

“Are you wanting all that she can't give?”

“I am the one who won't walk away.”

“I wish I could fly, I'd fly far away from here.”

“I love you as much as I can.”

“I'm your worst fear, you'll find it in me.”

“I need you to need me.”

“It's not going to get better, is it?”

“Are you nervous?”

“What's your story?”

“Did you see my parents out there?”

“How could she leave me on my own?”

“Why didn't you take me with you?”

“You're kidding, right? That's bullshit.”

“What makes you think I'd lose my mind for you?”

“Tell me why I wait through the night.”

“I can't get through this alone.”

“Am I feeling what I think I'm feeling?”

“I'm good as gone.”

“You don't remember any of this?”

“I thought you might call.”

“Don't say that we're over.”

“I couldn't give a flying fuck what's normal.”

“Your life has kind of sucked, I think.”

“Won't anything be better than before?”

“Your son is gone forever though.”

“There's something missing.”

“Let me know you again.”

“Why do I get denied?”

“Where'd you get that?”

“How could I ever forget?”

Why would you want to remember the things that hurt you?”

“Please, tell me his name.”

“Why stay?”

“Something next to normal would be okay.”

“You look like a star.”

“Can you leave it behind?”

“I might end up crazy.”

“So anyway I'm leaving.”

“It's time for me to go.”

“I am the one who saved you.”

A scoff falls from parted lips and cheeks hint the vague color of embarrassment. “I’m really…” He swallows, mouth dry as sparks indeed dance across his skin (but not because he’s trying to be cool, just because Nathan has no clue how to control his God given powers (pun intended) when he’s flustered), “not that cool.”

… He’d like to believe that doesn’t make him any less of a good friend, however. That is, until you’re on his hitlist.
