nonverbal starterssteer: place a hand under their chin to make them look up @thaxson
eyes avoiding the other’s, vanessa sighs when she feels the gentle touch of theo’s hand under her chin, causing her to look up at him. his touch is warm and, although vanessa doesn’t want to admit it, comforting. a piece of her cold exterior seems to break off and disintegrate because of it.
she purses her lips at him, eyes searching his eagerly. “don’t look at me like that,” she grumbles. “just because we’re close and you’re a good person in here doesn’t mean it’s going to rub off on me. i do what i have to do to survive.” v swallows and continues on, her stubbornness getting the best of her: “besides, i’m fine. i don’t need anything. and if i did, i’d get it myself.”
