Fun by the lake~ (Vasilisa and Adrian)

[Faye]

"How about we just talk about something else?"

He said as he slowly let go of her, he didn't want to jerk away since that would just make her feel worse. Though he was very shocked he had done that, it was.. so out of character for him. Vasilisa had an unintentional habit of making him act funny, however.

His gaze was shifted back onto the water, the sun dancing on top of the water, leaving an orangey-purple light show on the surface. He swallowed, his mind racing through all the subjects they could make a conversation on. "Heh.. any ideas?"

[Natsuki]

Lissa nodded. "Yes. A new topic might be preferable." Her cheeks were blazing still from the thought of his arms around her. She could almost still feel his arms around her. What might have happened if she had hugged him back? Would he have minded? Would it have lasted longer? Would it have made things more-Oh she hated it when she thought about things too much. It was over. It happened, but now the moment was over. She just needed to put it out of her mind.

She thought it over a bit. Then she gave a nervous laugh. "I'm coming up blank. I have no clue. Do you know?"

[Faye]

Huh, so she had no idea either. Well that complicated things, didn't it. Adrian sat on the giant tree root, leaning forward to rest his elbows on his knees as his hands cupped his chin. His mind trailed off into thought, what could they talk about? Why did it need this much thought? Did they have nothing in common at all and that incompatible? He shook his head and sat back up, stretching his arms out a bit.

"Nope, nothing," He murmured, seeming disappointing in the drawing of blanks. His mind reverted to the memories of their first encounter, what did they talk about? Hardly anything, really. They just went over introductions, watched the fireflies dance elegantly on the water's surface and spoke about their past life. "How about... what music do you like? If you like music at all." There, that might get something going.

[Natsuki]

Vasilisa blushed a little at his question. Oh gosh....any chances of friendship ended here. "I...umm..." She looked at him and bit her bottom lip and gave a nervous laugh. "Don't think I'm too much of a nerd. I like classical music." She brushed some more hair out of her face. "Okay. Yeah. You can laugh at me now." Maybe she should have lied? Lying might have been the best thing to do. Why hadn't she thought of it before? Oh well. The bomb had dropped. Now she was going to have to wait for the destruction.

[Faye]

Adrian blinked. That was something he wasn't expecting, but at the same time it seemed to fit her. All the other genres of music that came to his head didn't seem to suit her but then again, his assumptions could normally be wrong. "Why would I laugh, hm?" He teased, smiling warmly.

He swallowed and glanced back at her before his eyes wavered over to the lake. "I'unno, who am I to judge what you like?" He closed his eyes near the end of his sentence, his warm smile remaining.

"However, I don't think we'd have much in common with music once you find out what I like."

[Natsuki]

Her cheeks grew slightly warmer as she returned his smile. "Because, how many people our age really listen to classical music. It's pretty odd, when you think about it." She was happy he didn't think she was too weird for her taste in music.

At his other comment she smiled all the more and brushed some more hair from her face. "Oh? What kind of music do you like, then?" The tone of her voice was lighthearted and unintentionally flirtatious. Not that she would have caught on to that. She was so dense.

[Faye]

Adrian nodded, she had a point. "Yes.. but, what music you like shouldn't be something you are judged on, right?" People had their own opinions and were entitled to them.

Although, her tone of voice she used for her next sentence made him blush. Was she.. flirting? It seemed so natural that he dismissed it as just.. normal, she wouldn't be flirting with him anyway. They were friends. At the moment. For now. What.

"I like really.. heavy music, mostly Metal core," He brought a thin, pale finger up to scratch his cheek nervously, "Now you see the difference?"

[Natsuki]

Vaslisa nodded and smiled. "I'll give you that." She felt rather puzzled when he blushed. Why would he be blushing? Was her bra showing? She looked down. Nope. It wasn't that. That was rather confusing. She decided against asking. It might drive the conversation to an awkward corner.

Vasilisa laughed when he said he liked heavy music. She could really see that about him. "Well, I'd definately say that there isn't any screaming in Mozart or Beethoven."

[Faye]

As she spoke, he noticed a sense of panic and confusion rise from her, she began to look around frantically and it only brought the confusion to him. He rose an eyebrow, tilting his head to the side only to be distracted by her second comment about no screaming in Mozart or anything of the like.

The sentence brought a laugh to escape from his lips, however, he couldn't shake his mind from how she was acting before. "Hey.. is everything alright? You were acting really.. panicky and confused before," He asked her, his voice gentle and soft as he gingerly brought his hand closest to her to touch her arm.

[Natsuki]

Vasilisa smiled at his laugh, though when he asked about her panic and confusion she had shown earlier. She blushed, not really wanting to tell him why....but he had asked the question, so she'd have to answer. "I saw you blush and I-uh....I thought that maybe...." Okay, Lissa. Think of a lie quick, or your head's going to be way below the quick sand. "I thought that maybe my...uh...." She uttered the last sentence in a small squeak. "That maybe my...bra was showing..."

[Faye]

Adrian's fiery eyes watched the girl next to him, seeing her happiness fade into a stuttery nervous wreck as she tried to squeak out the words that had floated about in her head.

He could only blush again as she mentioned him blushing before, she had seen that? Oh.. he didn't think she would have taken any notice! Swallowing the lump in his throat, he turned to Vasilisa only to widen his eyes at the last piece of her sentence. "Your.. your br..- No! Not at all, I wasn't.. blushing because of that" His cheeks only darkened, "I.. I blushed before because... I don't.. know," Okay, he couldn't say it was because of her voice, it had to be something different. Something that would seem legitimate. "I blushed because.. you're so... pretty"

[Natsuki]

Vaslisa heard his statement and blushed a deep red before suddenly realizing something. He was joking! It was a joke! It was so obvious now. She chuckled and rolled her eyes "That was pretty funny, Adrian. I almost believed you, too. Mr. Cassanova." Her mind wasn't able to comprehend a compliment. It was like a foreign creature. An alien that she wouldn't know if it crept up behind her and bit her nose.

[Faye]

For a moment, Adrian stared at Lissa, had he heard her right? Swallowing the lump in his throat, he shifted his gaze to the water, watching the ripples form as the bugs flew about the surface. The playful nickname she had used brought heat to his cheeks, a light red colour forming.

"No. Lissa.. It wasn't a joke, I.." He paused, what was he doing? Why, why of all people that had to break his shell be Vasilisa Deikov? He shook his head, daring to avert his eyes back to the girl beside him, "I.. I meant it," There, it was out in the open. Hopefully she wouldn't find it so alien like to her and believe him. He wasn't about to repeat himself again.

[Natsuki]

Vasilisa noted the red tinge in his cheeks and blushed herself, not sure what to think. She didn't quite understand about what he said, but decided that arguing against him wouldn't be the best idea either. She looked down before looking shyly back up at him, smiling a little. "Well, thank you! You're pretty too!" She paused and then rewound that sentence in her head. Then she smacked her forehead. "I meant handsome. Handsome would be the more appropriate statement...Geez." She started to laugh a little at her idiocy. It figured she would do something like that. But at least it wasn't so awkward now.

[Faye]

Adrian blinked.

Did she just call him pretty? Either she had a poor vocabulary or didn't quite think that through there. Soon after these thoughts, she had corrected herself and he mentally sighed, that sounded better yet completely not true. Oh well, he'd suck it up for now.

"Thank you..?" He replied slowly as he tried to think of something else for them to talk about. "Are you hungry.. at all?" Maybe they could go get a late afternoon snack or an early dinner? He didn't have a lot of money on him so fast food or something from the grocery store or somewhere else besides a restaurant would have to be their choice.
