( mismatched orbs widened almost immediately , bedazzled was a fitting word for how he felt right now.
Toothy smile now relaxed to features . )
Wow ya .. really went all out .
&&
ㅤ
I had to do something for
your big day , I couldn't
forget you .
( ㅤinside , he'd find a bottle
of a new expensive perfume
everyone has been raving about , some golden jewellery ,
a brand-new makeup palette
+++
A little nod though he doubts he'll get anything to eat . His birthday still feels strange to him .
Like it was telling him his whole life was a joke .
But , this felt .. nice .
" ya know what I like . "
He says as he made way to a corner table.
He followed behind easily. Despite being way shorter now next to Angel, Arackniss managed to keep up.
“Alright. Grab a table or something, and I’ll get our first drinks. Feel free to order food, too.”
( a light tipped smile . It's unexpected and yet he's grateful . Taking it delicately into his palms . )
Ya .. didn't haft'a. It's sweet ya thought of me toots .
( slowly opening it . )
“I… dunno what exactly you’re really into now, so…”
Awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck. But Arackniss was trying!
“Couple rounds of drinks, on me?”
- finalising the order .
Phone clicked shut and set aside .
He'd settle comfortably on the bed , digits now crasping around remote .
" all done, should be here in about 30 minutes ~ . "
The warmth dispersed almost immediately , sitting up properly with a small twitch . Angels eyes trail Valentino, following as he moved for a few moments before then returning back to the phone screen .
" of course. "
He'd agree , choosing drink options before
&&
and val would always twist that , pulling them down into a spiralling pit — he wanted angel to know he was home . he was . . . safe .
not safe , per say — but safe from the shit those hotel assholes filled his head with . he was better here , with val .
