I thought of a new hypothetical to ask your partner: if I was an invasive species would you kill me for the good of the ecosystem or would you love me so much that you’d allow me to ravage the earth
⠀⠀ ‘i can tell by your eyes!’ whilst dollish visage had not wavered from its tranquil stillness, unfortunately for her, the envoy could decipher even the faintest of change; the dilation of pupils / a fluttery blink evidence of her enjoyment.
‘ I was not that into it, you are exaggerating now, I just like to read! ’ once she sees a hint of a puppy expression taking shape, she quickly looks away. No, she needed to stay strong, she couldn’t let those low tricks soften her!!!
⠀⠀ sun——speckled digits fall victim to panicked whack, a bitten off yelp muffled via teeth in lip / assaulted knuckles reel back & cradled with other. ‘ow ow owww! okay, okay! i surrender!’
⠀⠀ middle & forefinger mimic walking motion in direction of hidden novel. ‘can i seeee? pretty please? don’t leave me on a cliffhanger i haven’t even reached!’
⠀⠀ ‘naaah nah nah, y’looked pretty into it, anyways.. which makes me all the more curious!’ masquerade’s pout; silent as plea is, puppy——eyed stare mimics same resonance.
‘ …You could have just called me instead, I can always go back to reading later ’ the doll tries to act naturally, but deep down she was considering knocking out the other and praying that his memory of this would be erased. Luckily, by his reaction, the other didn’t read it…
⠀⠀ cranium tilts left, dimpled cheek moulds to the shape of shoulder’s cartilage, ere snickers come unbidden & light. ‘i wasn’t lookin’ at the book———i was lookin’ at you.’ mien adorns boyish grin,
⠀⠀ ‘was waitin’ til ya finished reading your paragraph.’ apple——cheek just shy of ‘nother, peach fuzz grazes seraphim——dermis. digits grasp at desk’s edge, doll left with no room for escape.
‘ Huh? Were you just looking a me for thirty seconds? ’ the doll pauses, arching an eyebrow at the other before looking away, playing natural. ‘ Reading, clearly. Weren’t you just looking at me just now? And of course I’m tricky to find, otherwise I wouldn’t have peace ’
