elf! meme + @ibriidaThey’ve crashed out on Christmas Eve, having been tricked here in the first place. Told that there was a new year’s project to work on for class, and why not come over and we can get a head start on it, only to be sprung by the Daines and their warm voices and their hands holding on and ushering her inside. And crying about how nice it was that she’d come to join them, eyes made over shoulders in Ava’s direction, narrowed to slits and making demands in silence even as she pulled back to look at her grandparents with a soft smile, hands moving along the other’s arms. “Thank you. I didn’t expect this.”Outside, Ava dropped her words. How it’d be nice to have Christmas together and they could do all the things that normal children did, even if they weren’t kids, they were teenagers with all the moodiness and the difficulties. How she wasn’t even sure about how she was going to spend her Christmas until this moment because uncertainty was simply apart of her life, looking to Ava with an unsure squint on of her eyes, a pursing of her lips. “…” silence marking the passing moments, before she sighed, heavily, blowing pink from her vision. Reaching out so that their hands could meet, fingers curling through her own. “I guess.”Pretending, still, to be put out somehow. “I don’t know how to skate though.”
