Love is War (Brynn)

[Brynn Faolain]

Brynn smiled back at her. "At least mine is gone and i can remember fondly. sounds like you haven't got much to think about him for right now. must be rough." he felt like that might have sounded a little cold. "but I'm sure you think of your mother a lot! She must have been very pretty." He says, trying to cheer her up. "i bet her journal is interesting."

when she asked about his job he perked up a bit. "yeah i really love it at the shop. i actually don't see many students most aren't interested in the wood shop. i bet i see their parents though. we make nice furniture and decorative stuff. most of it is probably too expensive for a student to buy, besides the little stuff. It pays okay, I'm pretty good at it so they like me." did she just brush my leg back?

He laughed out loud; a deep chuckle, when she said she was letting herself go. "what, you? Nah. you're like half my size! i bet i can lift you easily" he took a big sip of his tea and ate some more of his muffin. Still delicious "i guess i keep so busy i don't really have to watch what i eat. i think I'd get tired of the muffins though."

She nodded sadly but then smiled and listened to everything else he had to say. She prided herself for being a great listener, she never interrupted someone when they were talking or had anything to say. She nibbled on her muffin and leaned towards him a bit, unconsciously.

She found herself looking at his lips again, silently wondering how they would feel like against her's- She shook her head suddenly but smiled and still listened. Her mind drifted again and she looked at his larger, rough looking hands. She wondered if his palms were rough or soft. She unconsciously grabbed his hand and held, testing if they were rough or not.

She blushed and looked up at Brynn and wondered if she should let go. She brushed her thumb against the back of his hand before slowly letting go and taking her hand back.

[Brynn Faolain]

she just held my hand. whoa. her hands are soft. and she's so gentle. Brynn looked mildly shocked. He didn't know what to do. or what to say to her. shes biting her lip again... that means something with her...

He gently leans forward and rests his arm across the table, palm up, near Idania. "you're thinking about something aren't you? you bite your lip when you think huh?" he had is head resting on his free hand, running his fingers through his hair. it was coming loose, falling down by his ears. "they're a little rough from working with wood all the time, but i promise I'm gentle." he smiles brightly, locking eyes with her again. i hope i know what I'm doing...

[Idania "Dani" Thomas]

She blushed and reached across the table, tucking his hair behind his ear. She smiled as she pulled back, her hand gently brushing his cheek. "Am I that obvious?" She asked, biting her lip again. She leaned forward and rested her hand in his, softly rubbing her thumb over his palm. "I'm thinking about... how much fun I'm having and how nervous I am." She said, softly.

She giggled before adding, "And how thankful I am that I am not a nervous sweater*" She giggled again and sighed happily. She stared into his eyes and gently squeezed his hand. "This is really nice," She mumbled, still lost in his eyes. "Are you.. enjoying yourself as well?" She asked, as her eyes drifted down to his lips.

[Brynn Faolain]

Brynn smiled at her reply. "maybe" he said, smiling even more when she placed her hand in his. its soft, and warm. and its so tiny in mine. He rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb. "yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. this IS fun. and I'm nervous. girls always make me nervous. especially pretty girls that are nice to me." he took a sip of his tea with his free hand. it was getting cold, but he hardly cared. "yeah, just a nervous lip nibbler" he teases, squeezing her hand back. he looked at her big eyes contently.they're such a pretty shade of blue... "yes, this is definitely nice." whats she thinking about, and she keeps looking at my face... "we might just have to do this again Idania" he grins, still holding her hand

[Idania "Dani" Thomas]

She was debating it. She was debating it so hard, right now. Her lips quivered. She just wanted to lean across the table and kiss him hard. Her heart threw itself against her rib cage. She thought of ways to make him do it instead. Maybe she could pass out and fake not breathing, and then he would have to give him cpr? She put her drink on the table and drummed her fingers against the table.

She looked back to him and smiled bright. "Of course. I'm free on.." She put her finger on her chin and thought, gently biting her lip. Was it next wednesday, or tomorrow? She nodded and added, "I'm free on wednesday?" She said. She paused for a moment and backtracked. "You think I'm pretty?" She looked down at the table and blushed a little.

[Brynn Faolain]

"Wednesday sounds good, if that's when you're free." Brynn said, his voice low and content. "of course hopefully I'll bump into you around school before that!" i don't want to wait that long. maybe I'll have to "accidentally" find her. he could tell she was intently thinking about... something. Brynn was never very good at reading girls. "You've hardly touched your coffee Idania." he says, swirling the dregs of his now cold tea around in its cup. "but that muffin has seen better days!" he smiled. he squeezed her hand gently. "and yes. i do think you're pretty. very pretty. I'm just bad at saying it to girls." He's for once not playing with his earrings or hair, just locked on her face. "whatever it is you're thinking of, stop thinking so much" he says, trying to get her to relax. " I'm really happy sitting here chatting with you."

[Idania "Dani" Thomas]

Idania blushed and entwined her fingers with his. She smiled and tilted her head, looking at his face. "Oh, I'm just thinking about you~" She mumbled. She sighed a little before starting, "You, are exactly what I need right now. I want someone to hang out with and get out of the house. Be social." She away from him, taking her free hand, she rubbed the back of her neck. She used to go out a lot. She knew how to have a fun time. That was when.. her mom was alive. "I used to go out a lot with my mother. But now I mostly spend my days sitting at the park." She said whilst laughing.

She looked back at the ground and stayed still for once. Didn't nibble her lip, didn't fiddle around, Just sat still. She silently waited for his reply. She hoped he didn't think she was a basket case.

[Brynn Faolain]

thinking about me? i think that's a good thing... "well, i don't mind hanging out. we can go walk in the park or something. my apartment isn't exactly stellar but you're welcome to come over and we can hang out... i think it'd be just as good for me as it is for you." he squeezes her hand a little tighter, hoping to encourage her. "we can go to the dojo too, you said you'd been being lazy! well we can practice together." sounds nice right? please say yes, i want to see you more...

[Idania "Dani" Thomas]

She smiled brightly and nodded before looking up at the clock. She almost forgot. "Hey, Brynnie? I have to go home and get something ready for dinner for my dad. He's a terrible cook." She said with a slight frown. She really did not want to leave. "Oh, I would seriously love to do anything." She exclaimed with a bright smile.

She stood up but held onto his hand. "I'm pretty sure I'll see you at school. Or maybe I'll randomly show up at the mall or something." She smiled down at him. she slowly let go of his hand, not really wanting to. She waited for him to stand up so she could hug him goodbye. Maybe he'd kiss her.

[Brynn Faolain]

"oh, you cook? maybe you can cook for me sometime?" he smiles up at her. he stands, stretching a bit. "well, i guess I'll see you later. Don't forget we have to get coffee again!" i don't want you to go... He steps in closer, and looks at her face. what do i do WHAT DO I DO WHAT DO I DO. "this was really nice." He says as he slowly wraps his arms around her waist, his hands ending up on the backs of her hips. He pulls her into a tight hug, bending down a little to reach. the feeling of her body pressed up against his, her hair in his face, her smell, he doesn't want to let go. he loosens up but doesn't let her go, standing there looking down at her face, arms around her.

[Idania "Dani" Thomas]

She smiled and hugged him tightly. When he pulled back, she looked up at him and smiled, a light blush tinted her pale cheeks. Her heart started beating faster as she slowly pushed herself up on her tiptoes. Moving her face a mere milimeters away from his, She looked into his eyes before softly pressing her lips against his.

She wrapped her arms around his neck for a moment before moving back and sighing happily. "I've been wanting to do that for a while." She grinned before looking back at the clock. "I really have to go, Brynnie! I'll see you around!" She smiled and waved as she hurried out the door.

FIN.
