non-sexual acts of intimacy - accepting
Tina wanted to do something nice for Credence. However, planning to do nice things for Tina never seemed to work out well. She tended to think she was overdoing it or that it somehow came off as fake. It always felt false to her, planning to do those things, and so she struggled with it. She’d spent time trying to figure out what to do and all things fell short until one day, Credence asked a question and inspiration struck.
It wasn’t an intentional nice act in itself. It wasn’t intentionally anything. But he had asked a simple question about the wizarding world and the next thing she knew she had disappeared into her bedroom. She came back with a small pile of books tucked under her arm: Cassandra and her cat Gustav, Thee Flap of the Cape, and The Tales of Beetle the Bard. She placed the books on the table before picking up bard’s tales with half a glance.
“These are what we read as kids,” Tina mentioned off-handedly, a finger trailing over the beginning page of the book on fairytales. She lingers on a faint memory of her father reading them stories when they were kids. A fain smile tugs on her lips as she considered for a moment. “All wizarding children know these ones,” She continued, looking up at him with a small smile as if that answered everything,
Then without further ado she turned another page until the first story came into view. Quietly, only just allowing her voice to be heard, she begun to read the Fountain of Fair Fortune.
