“That was nice of him wasn’t it?” Chuckling softly, he pulled her closer. His nose twitched a bit more as the snowflakes hit them, the cold causing it to tickle just a bit. “I’ve noticed your cheeks get red a time or two, but I was never sure of the reason. People always mentioned that mine got red at your name too. No matter how hard I tried to hide it.” His hands ran up her side to tangle in her hair a bit, playing with the ends of the locks. His eyes were off hers for only a split second, until she mentioned being hurt. Then, his eyes went back to hers and his blue met hers. “I know, but im glad you trust me because I’d never even dream of hurting you.” One of the hands moved to rest on her cheek gently, his thumb stroking it. “Besides, pretty sure my dreams have just been full of kisses and cuddles. Oh, and baby pigs.” His lips turned up into a grin.

“Definitely. I mean, you’ve been my best friend here, but I couldn’t really tell you that secret,” Bridget beamed, her lips pressing to the tip of his cute, scrunching nose. “You’re always the reason I blush,” she confessed effortlessly. “I’m not exactly shy. And I like when you do too. It’s adorable. I just wasn’t sure if I was the reason either.” A shiver jolted through her body, and the blonde hummed happily as he played with her hair. She’d always wanted a boy to do that. Bridget’s smile softened at his promise, still keeping her gaze on his. “I know you wouldn’t, Dae. I trust you with all of my heart. I just needed to get past being scared. But I’m not scared anymore,” she murmured, leaning into his gentle touch, long eyelashes fluttering. “Oh, really? Dreams about me, you mean? And our kisses and cuddles? I think we should make more of those reality.” She giggled brightly at the mention of baby pigs, her own hands stroking Daemon’s back and curling into his shirt. “And the baby pigs, too. Maybe someday, at least.” The chill in the air wasn’t even noticed, as she felt all warm and fuzzy because of him.

“You and I both,” he whispered, keeping his voice low so it seemed like only the two of them were hearing the conversation, not that he thought anyone else was awake anyways. He also didn’t mind if anyone even saw them, it seemed like quite a few people were just waiting for them to get together, for them to kiss. It was true that he hadn’t been the best at hiding his feelings for her, most people could tell almost immediately that he had feelings for her anytime she was brought up in conversation, which was quite often. “Yeah, Fin mentioned that he had once saw you extremely red, but I couldn’t get him to tell me what the reason was. He must have been keeping your little crush a secret or something,” He joked. a smirk on his lips. It grew at her next statement and he nodded. “Guess we were both to shy to do so. We had just awkwardly ran into each other after all.” At the kiss, he pressed his lips to hers softly, but only for a moment before a grin broke out. “I have no problem with that, and yeah. I completely understand. I promise though, I’d never do that.” He pulled her a little closer at his words, resting his forehead against hers. 

It kind of felt nice to know there were so many people rooting for them to get together. His whisper shot a chill through her, and she couldn’t stop grinning at this point. He liked her back. And his kisses... they were so much better than any fantasy made her think. Bridget’s cheeks reddened at the mention of Fin catching her embarrassment; she remembered that moment, as right away he’d picked up on her crush on Daemon. “I’m glad he kept it quiet. But, yeah, he caught me. Every time I talk about you -- which is a lot -- my cheeks get all hot. I can honestly say I’ve never been like that with other guys before. But you’re special, Daemon.” She chuckled softly, letting her forehead lean back against his. “I guess we were. I’m just so happy right now.” Snow dusted both of the blonde’s hair, but she Bridget was warm from the inside out as he held her. “I was just afraid... I’ve been hurt before,” she admitted, giving his nose a small nuzzle with hers. “But I trust you completely, Dae. More than anyone.” What this meant for the future, she wasn’t sure, but they had plenty of time to figure it out.

As much as he had liked the kiss to go on, he was nearly out of breath and he was sure she was too, no matter how much neither of them would want to admit it. His hands stayed on their respective places though, the one on her waist as the other gently caressed her cheek. He’d always loved her eyes, and now he couldn’t get himself to look away from them for even a second, especially not after the kiss. A chuckle sounded from him as he heard her, shaking his head. “I couldn’t really put all the signs together to really be able to tell if you liked me or not. I’m not the best at reading people.” Even if several others did tell him numerous times that she in fact did like him, he didn’t want to be too sure in case they had read her wrong. “Oh really? Well, that’s definitely interesting considering I too feel for you instantly. Shortly after we literally bumped into each other.”

Bridget was alright taking a breath; it meant they'd have a moment to talk about their feelings and what all of this meant. Mostly because from the looks of it, there would be plenty more of them in the future. Her cheek leaned into his hand, vibrant eyes sparkling as they locked unto his icy blue ones. They were so hypnotizing. Her fingers strummed along the nape of his neck, toying with the ends of his hair lovingly as she held him close, their breaths still mingling. "Oh, really? I guess I haven't been very stealthy at hiding it around others. I turn into a damn tomato each time your name comes up," she admitted with a gentle giggle. "Some told me the same -- or at least that they thought you returned the feeling. You may be hard at reading people, but you're pretty hard to read yourself, you know." She lit up hearing his attraction was instant too. "Really? Well, shoot. We should have come clean right there and then." Lifting onto her toes, she gave his lips a soft, chaste kiss. "I hope you know there's gonna be a lot more of those now that I know you want 'em," Bridget beamed, her fingertips softly sliding to graze his chin. "I just didn't wanna get my heart broken, you know?" she confessed vulnerably.

The snow was cold of course, but honestly he didn’t feel it and it had already passed from his mind as their lips moved in sync. Funny how easily he forgot the one thing that made this moment so perfect. Her lips on his, her fingers in his hair and on the back of his neck, it really did seem all like a dream at first. His hands gave her hips a little squeeze as her tongue slipped between his lips, before one moved up to caress her cheek. The free arm then slipped around her waist, pulling her gently against his body. He didn’t want to move to fast or anything, so he tried to just keep the kiss simple. Well, as simple as it could be. It was seeming to become impossible. If his heart wasn’t beating quickly before, it sure was now and he was sure she could feel it. After a long moment, as much as he didn’t want to, he pulled back to look at her, his eyes meeting hers. “I’ve wanted to do that for so long now.”

Forget the snow; no matter how badly she'd thought moments ago how lovely it would be, now she was solely lost in Daemon. Bridget had yearned to kiss him for a while now, and struggled to hold back not doing so, but it was completely worth the wait. His date was sweet, and she savored it as their tongues were gentle in exploration of each other. A soft mewl echoed from her as Daemon's hand squeezed her hips, her own grip tightening within his hair as she arched into his touch. Her heart was racing and she felt his too; slowly, a hand fell to his chest, resting over the beating muscle while she leaned into his palm. Her fingers clutched there instead, curling into the material of his shirt, and although desperate for breath she still whined a little as he pulled away. Her eyes glowed as they met his calming blue, and Daemon's words made her smile brightly. "Me too." It came out a little husky and breathless, her cheeks and lips flushed. "I can't tell you how many times I had to tell myself not to kiss you." Her hands rose to cradle his face, and this time she left a light, sweet kiss on his lips. "I fell for you pretty much instantly," she confessed.

Holding her against his body, he moved his lips against hers gently. Even if he had been waiting a while to kiss her, he definitely didn’t want to move things too fast. However, almost immediately after he had kissed her, he found himself deepening it and pulling her closer. As much as he wanted to be happy that she surely liked him back, he was just completely lost in the moment. The snow falling around them, and the sun beginning to rise now, them being completely alone. It just felt like the perfect moment. It really was perfect. Feeling her heart beat against his chest just made his beat even faster. Not because he was scared now, but because he was probably the happiest man alive. As he felt her tongue slide against his lips, he parted his lips slightly.

It was difficult not to jump his bones, if she was being honest; Bridget felt like she’d been pining for Daemon for months. However, she didn’t want to rush things; they had plenty of time. She wanted to treasure what they had together -- she wanted to treasure him. Especially now that she was certain he returned her feelings. The snow dusted their cheeks and hair, the bridges of their noses, but the heat between them still kept them warm. Bridget’s fingers toyed with his hair gently, and when Daemon’s lips parted for permission, she gave blonde locks a tender little tug. Her body arched into his fingertips when they molded along her waist, and tentatively but lovingly her tongue caressed his own, her blissful, shallow breaths lost among his.

Daemon still hadn’t been completely sure if she really did like him back or not, but with everything that was happening, it was like so many signs were pointing to it. He had been so lost in the moment already, that he just went for the kiss. For the first moment, he was wondering slightly if he had made a mistake, but when her lips pressed back into his and her arms snaked around his neck, any amount of doubt was immediately gone. Slowly, his arms went around her waist, holding her close to him as their lips moved against each other’s.

The worry of heartbreak and loss faded the moment Daemon’s lips captured her own. Bridget smiled against his as she pressed back, savoring the softness and the taste she had longed to experience for what felt like too much time now. Her fingers toyed with his hair, twisting in the blonde strands as she arched and shivered into his touch. Her heart thudded furiously, and she was certain Daemon could hear it -- feel it -- as he tugged her closer. She was tentative at first, and gentle. Tenderly, her lips trapped his, giving it a sensual suckle as her tongue traced the seam of them.

It was odd to see snow during the summer, especially in Georgia. It was too hot for snow, so it had to mean either mother nature was very confused or it was someone’s power making it snow. The latter made more sense. His eyes fell back to her after he took a moment to study the sky. What she said actually made sense to him. Of course, not many things were hard to believe with the live they were living and he had heard of several others gaining new powers as well, it it wouldn’t be weird if she was too. He kept his eyes on hers as she continued speaking, nodding in agreement. A smile slipped onto his lips as she finished. She was just so perfect, so beautiful. The snow, though it was because she was happy, just seemed to make the moment even more romantic. “Well, I’m happy too.” He admitted, squeezing her hand tightly. It had to be the moment, the snow and the sun rising that blurred his mind, because without much thought, he leaned closer to her, placing a hand on her cheek gently before pressing his lips to hers in a soft kiss.

The contradicting whether already in such a rare setting had to be the magic of her ability -- Bridget didn’t doubt that. However, she was still in awe as she pointed it out to Daemon, her bright eyes glowing as they met his. She was happy, incredibly happy, because of him. Even in a dark, desolate state of mind when she’d arrived, and a place that was the ruins of a former time, she’d found true happiness in him. She didn’t want to let that go easily, which was why she’d been so tentative about taking her time. The moment seemed right though as she searched his gaze, and considered taking a chance. Even if he broke her heart, at least she would have an answer. Before Bridget could make a move though, Daemon beat her to it. His hand, so gentle in caress as it cupped her face sent a shiver down her spine. But it was his lips covering her own that made the blonde sigh blissfully, her own pressing back with earnest, sweet pressure. She smiled into the kiss, her arms snaking around Daemon’s neck to bring him in closer to her, eyes closed in overwhelming joy as she continued moving her mouth against his slowly.

His fingers interlocked with hers as they walked towards the door, enjoying holding her hand. Every little thing was just making him so happy, and now they were going to watch the sunrise together. It really was beginning to seem like such a romantic morning. Though, even then, he was still scared to kiss her. Friends watched sun risings together, right? He and Nessa did, but that was a completely different situation. They slept outside a lot. As he felt something cold hit his nose, it twitched and he looked up to the sky, expecting to see rain, but instead, it was.. snowflakes? “What? It’s the end of May, how is it snowing?” He kept his eyes on the sky, trying to see if it was some kind of trick or something, but there really were clouds snowing down on them.

Bridget’s fingers remained threaded through Daemon’s, even as they both looked to the sky to witness the flakes falling from it. “I don’t understand...” she trailed for a moment, her eyes casting back to him, admiring the gorgeous face before her as he too gazed up in puzzlement. He was so perfect to her. “I was just thinking in my head how I wished it would snow. But it rarely does in Georgia, especially not in the summer.” Bridget felt a buzz run through her, much like it did when her power took control. Like, electricity. “I think... I think I did that,” she admitted, disbelief still present on her features. “I don’t know if it’s just a fluke or if my power evolved...” she continued, meeting his gaze. Her eyes flickered between colors, practically glowing. “But I think that was me because...” she trailed again, already feeling heat in her cheeks. The tornadoes came when she was sad, or angry. Maybe snow, with it being her favorite, was happiness? “Because I’m happy.”

Something about waking up with her in his arms just made him incredibly happy, maybe it was just slowly proving more that maybe she really did like him back. Not that he could really do anything yet, he still wasn’t too sure and he wasn’t going to be ready to do anything until he was at least a little more sure. His back arched into her hand a bit as he stretched, a small smile taking over his lips once again as he looked over at her. Her mess of hair only seemed to make her even more adorable and Daemon had to hold back a small chuckle as he looked over it. Once they were ready, he stood beside her, giving her a smile when she took his hand in hers. “Let’s get outside.” He mumbled before following her out, taking a look around as they made it out the doors. It wasn’t too dark out now, but the sun hadn’t risen yet either.

Bridget loved the way he arched into her touch, and it tempted her to stay right there in bed. She didn’t want to miss the sun rising with him though, and it was still nice out -- not so blazing hot yet. Hand in hand they walked out to see the still mostly dark sky and no one else in sight. She had to admit, it was very romantic. The only thing that could make it more romantic, in her opinion, was snow. Sure, she loved spring and summer, but there was something extra whimsical with snow. Unfortunately it wasn’t a common occurrence in Georgia, let alone in the summertime. But then, as if someone up above was listening... she felt flakes. Cold flakes. Snowflakes. “What the heck?” she asked almost to herself as her eyes listed to the sky to see strands of them falling around them.

They had talked for a little while before both passing out, not something Daemon actually remembered doing at any point. Only a couple hours passed though before he stirred again, his eyes fluttering open and meeting her already open ones. His arms were still around her, holding her close to him. His lips curled up into a sheepish smile when she spoke for the first time, chuckling quietly at the name. “Hey,” his voice was soft, making it very obvious he had just woken up. As much as he enjoyed just laying there with her, watching the sunrise together sounded amazing. They’d probably be the only ones awake to see it, except maybe a founder or two. “I’d love to go watch it with you.” After another moment of lying there, he sat up a bit, arching his back in a stretch.

There was something so domestic about waking up together; Bridget loved looking into his sleepy eyes, the gentle yet husky voice making her smile lovingly. The loss of his arms around here was missed, but perhaps they’d nap again later. She was happy he agreed to her idea; she took sat up to stretch, her hand gently falling from Daemon’s hair to settle on his back while he arched. He was adorable. Her own hair was probably a mess, so Bridget ran her fingers through it with a little chuckle. “Great!” Her own voice was a little deeper than usual, and slowly, the blonde got to her feet to make a quick run to the bathroom to freshen up first. Once both were ready, she took Daemon’s hand; most people were asleep but she didn’t care if anyone saw them anyhow, and led them outside.

“Oh, so that’s what that was? I’ve only agreed once, I can’t promise that will always happen.” He wasn’t sure how much longer he was going to be able to hold off kissing her, especially with how they talked with each other or all the reactions he could pull out of her as they went on. It was driving him crazy almost not to be able to just press his lips to her. “That sounds absolutely perfect.” Though with those words, he’d probably be stealing them quite often, he absolutely loved hugging her. Just being close to her. As she pressed her chest to his, his face got a little redder, but still he listened. “Yeah, I can kind of hear it. It isn’t as loud as before, but it is definitely still fast.” He chuckled, looking at her again after having focused his attention to listen to it. “Yes, really.” He couldn’t help the shiver that went down his spine when she pressed the kiss to his neck. It was unexpected and it was just making him want to kiss her even more. “That’s true. Maybe we’ll have to do that.”

“You have a point. I know there’s been many times you wanted to give me a hard time.” Bridget wanted to cherish this time with him, but it was becoming more difficult without wanting more. Still, she was content just to be in his arms. Her cheeks were still red when he admitted to hearing her heart beat, her lips gently as they pressed to his neck. She giggled into his skin, letting a leg drape over his waist to cuddles more tightly. “I’m up for it if you are, Dae.” And she wasn’t kidding. They’d continued chatting until they grew weary -- Bridget couldn’t even remember when, but at some point they’d fallen asleep in each others arms. When she awoke it was still dark out, and it wasn’t long before Daemon stirred too. She didn’t want to get up, but it could be a chance to watch the sunrise together. “Hey sleepyhead,” she greeted softly, running her fingers through his hair. “We can always take another nap later... do you wanna watch the sunrise with me? We could go for a little walk.”

“Whatever you say, darling.” His own lips curled up even more into a grin, it was impossible for them not to when he was around her, which was probably one other reason he’d be her first choice to take on his little adventures. That being the reason other than he was falling in love with her, so badly. He’d love to just get out of there, move away from the compound and live like a normal person, with her there by his side. Maybe they’d have a whole bunch of pets. He nodded, chuckling. “The hugs more than anything.” He really did enjoy being close to her, and that time it really had made his heart race because it was the closest they had been. And now there was this, he was honestly surprised it wasn’t racing now. “I think I can get used to that.” His eyes kept glued on her, a smiling curling up as she stroked his jaw. He could see her freckles now, he had noticed them before in one of his many times he studied her face. They made her even more adorable, even more beautiful. He snapped out of his small trance as he heard her though, his whole face getting red now. No way had he ever blushed this much before. “Well, I uh,” he cleared his throat. “I wouldn’t be opposed either.”

Bridget was a sucker for nickname, and when he called her darling, she swooned even harder. That was one of her favorites. Maybe it was the country girl in her. “See? You’ve already learned better than to argue with me,” she giggled, keeping her arms tightly around Daemon as she continued snuggling close. “You can have my hugs anytime you want. I’ll surprise you with them, or you can steal ‘em,” she grinned, continuing to let her fingers stroke his chiseled jaw and cheek. She could just keep watching him all day, though he might find the idea a bit creepy. “Good. Can you still feel it now?” she asked, pressing her chest against his. She hadn’t actually meant it in an non-innocent way, though now those thoughts were in her head again as her breathing sped. It was taking everything in her to not kiss him, to tackle him to the bed and just swarm him with affection, but she was afraid. Even if they were close now, Bridget felt as though she had made most of the moves, and she didn’t want to this time if he didn’t want it. “Wait -- really?” she giggled, feeling her cheeks heat again. She buried them in his neck, letting her lips absentmindedly leave a kiss there. She was sure he could feel the heat of her face against his skin. “I mean, we’d be conserving water and bedding. The compound might appreciate that.”

spiroisalive:

“That is definitely a possibility, but hey, I’m allowed to have my own opinion about myself, aren’t I?” He hadn’t noticed a single dull moment since him and Bridget had started hanging out, so he wasn’t surprised that that’s what she had thought, because he’d think the same if he was in her position. “I love spending time with you too, I don’t think there’s anything I’d rather do.” Except be traveling, but even that would have her in the picture there along his side. He took in a breath, never enjoying being wrong, but she was right. It wouldn’t be stupid if it was him doing something for her, so why should it be vice versa? “I guess you’re right,” he finally said as he let out a breath. “I think it was everything. The hugs mostly.” He chuckled softly as he remembered the pink pig makeup. He probably still had a bit on his face somewhere. His smile grew a bit as she arched into his touch, he really did enjoy being this close to her, maybe a little too much. “Maybe, but I still wasn’t sure how to feel. I doubt that though.”

“Sure you are, but I’ll do whatever I can to sway you otherwise,” she grinned brightly. It didn’t fade a bit when Daemon expressed that there wasn’t anything he’d rather do than spend time with her. She felt the same -- unless it was adventures together outside of these walls. Maybe someday. They could move far away and live normal lives; she could be a vet again, they’d have pets and travel a lot. It was probably way too soon to think about such things, but she couldn’t help but daydream. “Thank you,” she chuckled softly. “Oh really? The hugs especially?” That was when she drew him impossibly closer, still arching into his every touch. She was cure if his hands were right against her skin, he’d feel the goosebumps he’d caused. “My heart always races around you, Dae. You’re just gonna hand to get used to it.” Bridget’s fingertips grazed his jaw affectionately as her eyes drank in his freckles. They were hard to see except up close, just like her own. As if he couldn’t get more adorable. “Well, I think you are, mister. And alright, but I’m just saying it again -- there is no reason to be jealous. I pretty much spend all my time with you, by choice. Excepting sleeping and showering,” she blushed as a devious smirk surfaced. “But I’m not opposed to sharing those with you either.”

[shesawhirlwind]

spiroisalive:

“Oh? Well, I love the enthusiasm, but I’m not always this fun.” A soft chuckle sounded from him as they talked. He was really enjoying all the time they spent together and it really did seem like she adored him, he definitely did her. He just wished he could truly read her and really figure out if she had the same feelings for him that he did for her. He had heard a few times now that she found him attractive, but that didn’t necessarily mean too much either. “Well, you said you’d do anything. I don’t want you doing something stupid just to help me or something.” He shrugged, his thumb moving along her back a bit as they just laid there. “Well, it was beating pretty fast at the carnival if that helps any.” He grinned as she buried her face. “I’m not really sure either. I’m very happy though.”

“I think you’re full of it,” Bridget grinned, a light laugh tumbling from her. “You’re always fun around me. Even when we’re just reading or hanging out quietly; I love spending time with you.” There were so many more things she wanted to say to him, and although it was a perfectly romantic moment, Bridget was still afraid it was too soon and that she might scare him away if he didn’t feel the same. “It’s not stupid if you’re doing something to help somewhere you care about, Dae.” Her bright eyes stayed on his for a moment before she buried her face into him. “It was? From my amazing hugs, or because of the pig make-up?” she mused, her breath tickling his neck. His fingertips crushing along her back sent shivers down her spine, and she couldn’t help but arch into his touch. “I’m glad you’re happy, I am too. But for the record, you have nothing or no one to be jealous of. You’re in a league of your own.”

[shesawhirlwind]

“Well, as much as I’d love that, I can’t always admit defeat to you. That’d make life a little boring.” Maybe he was bad at reading her, or maybe this really just was a close friendship. He didn’t want to overthink it, but with everything happening, everything that was being said, he was doubting it less and less. He really did want to kiss her, he’d wanted to for a while now and they had come close a couple times, this being the closest, but he was scared. For the first time in his life, or at least in a long time, he was scared. His eyes were locked with hers, finding himself lost in them as they spoke. “Well, I’m glad to hear that, though sometimes I may try and stop you.” He raised his eyebrows at her. “Just cause my heart isn’t racing,” Yet. “Doesn’t mean that I’m lying. I really do think you’re the most beautiful girl.” He let out a dramatic sigh, letting her know he wasn’t really mad or anything. “Well, then I guess I’m happy then.”

“I guess that’s true, even if I don’t think anything about you could ever be boring. I do like our competitive streak though.” Bridget was always honest with Daemon, but she was afraid to throw her heart completely on the line only for it to be crushed. She did know the attraction wasn’t one sided, and that he did care for her a lot, but was it the same way she felt for him? Boys were so tough to read. She searched his eyes for any signs, but the depth of them lost her. “You would try and stop me from doing something for you? But, why? You mean a lot to me, Dae.” Her cheeks were pink, and they deepened when Daemon reassured her; Bridget buried her face in his shirt, grinning. “I didn’t think you were lying, I was just wondering why your heart wasn’t going as crazy as mine,” she mumbled, peeking up at him with a cute smile. “I hope you are. I mean, I don’t know what the heck you would be jealous of.”

spiroisalive:

“Yes, yes. I always am. Of course.” Not. Sometimes he felt maybe he was wrong in pushing this whole kissing her thing off for so long. What if she really did like him? What if she was waiting for the same thing. He just couldn’t be sure either way of that though. He was scared that either way, he was messing up. Kiss her now, maybe she wasn’t really into him. Push it off until he thinks he is sure, maybe she’s upset that he waited so long. Why was love so incredibly difficult? “I’d do anything for you, I thought you had figured that out by now.” He chuckled, his grin growing, if it even could at this point. As much as he had hoped for her to actually kiss him, it was definitely possible he was reading all the signs wrong. Maybe she just enjoyed spending time with him. “No problem at all with it. So I’m not testing anything.” He then fell silent for a moment. Cutest guy ever? It was official, if she didn’t like him back he may need to have a long talk about what flirting and liking someone sounds like. Cause that definitely sounds like more than just innocent flirting. “Well, I have the most beautiful girl in my bed right now, but my heart isn’t racing. Not sure if I should be jealous or happy there.”

“I would never ever doubt that, or argue. What you say, Dae, goes.” Bridget giggled softly as she continued inching closer to him -- impossibly close. She was flirting up a storm, such as she always did with Daemon. She had pretty much done all but kiss him on the lips, hinting she wanted something more. Maybe he just liked being close with her, but just as good friends. She wasn’t sure. Or maybe like most guys, he was terrible at picking up on signals. “I guess I kind of did know that,” she was beaming now, letting her touch traipse along his shoulder, his back... through his hair again. “But it’s still great to hear. I’d do anything for you too, you know.” She was a bit embarrassed that he’d noticed her heart-rate, but all the same she didn’t bother to hide it. It wasn’t like her cheeks didn’t give her away anyhow. “You think I’m the most beautiful girl?” Bridget murmured, truly touched by his words. Daemon had called her cute and adorable, but this felt different. “Your heart isn’t racing though? I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing. If I was really that beautiful, wouldn’t it be going crazy right now?” she teased, placing her hand over it. “I’d go with happy if I were you.”

spiroisalive:

“Of course I am,” he grinned at her before chuckling again. Conversations like this were what really had him keeping hope that maybe, just maybe she did like him back. A kiss was off of the table right now though, because even if she did have a bit of feelings for him, that didn’t mean she necessarily wanted anything right now. “Right back at you. Though I don’t think I’d scare them very much unless I showed them my ecto plasm thingy.” His grin grew as he used those words, a small shrug coming from his shoulders. He couldn’t only feel her heart pick up, they were close enough he could also hear it and he couldn’t help but laugh a bit. “You good there? It almost sounds like you just ran a marathon.” He teased, even though his cheeks were a little red. They only got redder when she got closer to him. When she went on and kissed his cheek though, he had to hide the small frown that tried coming through. Maybe he was getting his hopes up. “I wouldn’t have a problem with that.”

“Because you always are, right?” she giggled softly, her bright eyes never faltering from his. It took everything in her power not to make a move, but at least she’d let him know that she didn’t like the idea of sharing his cuddles with others. “Really? You would use your ecto plasma thingy on them just for me? What a knight in shining armor.” Bridget smirked as they mused about his trademark for his power; it had been an inside joke with them since the beginning. Sinking deeper into his embrace, Bridget could blood rushing to her cheeks when Daemon commented on her heartbeat. That was definitely embarrassing. His cheeks though were also adorably red. She was such a  chicken shit, kissing him on the cheek instead, but what if he was just flirting and she read all the signals wrong? Bridget bit the inside of her cheek as she lay her head back onto the pillow, but still facing him. “Really? Because, don’t test me. And for the record, I did not just run a marathon,” she laughed lightly. “I just happen to get very riled up when I’m this close to the cutest guy ever in his bed.”
