( the moment their
lips met, flaky swore
that she felt sparks.
it seemed to last an
eternity before their
kiss was broken, her
eyes slowly opening
to look at him past
her lashes once more. )

e-ehe .. that was ..
uhm .. ( she couldn’t
find the words, embar-
rassed. )
⠀

[flippy . ⛧ @fliippys]

hand covering his mouth in a state of shock ,
tail slowly dropping as he came to a realization .. did he .. really do that ? )

@fliippys ╱ HEHEHE

⠀
( her heart caught in
her throat akin to be-
fore. but this time, she
found herself a bit at
ease. leaning in as well,
her eyes fluttered to a
close. )

( would she really be a
way for him to remain
calm .ᐣ if that’s to be
the case .. so be it. )
⠀
⠀

[flippy . ⛧ @fliippys]

was something that he didn't want
to think about .. then he calmed down ,
he took one last deep breath before leaning
closer to flaky ' s face .. huffing . )

mmm . . .

( a nose twitch , he was leaning even closer for a kiss . )

[* 𝓕𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒚. @timidsprinkles]

⠀
⠀
( she looked at him,
curiosity befalling
her. was there truly
something he could
do to keep that other
side of him at bay .ᐣ )

( if so, that would
change everything. )

i-is .. something on
your mind .ᐣ
⠀
⠀

[flippy . ⛧ @fliippys]

well , ain't that somethan' ..
ah' could possibly do that.

[flippy . ⛧ @fliippys]

b-but if .. you could
somehow control
t-that side .. um ..
then maybe ..
⠀
⠀

[* 𝓕𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒚. @timidsprinkles]

⠀

( she blushed at the
confession, tapping
her fingers together. )

( it .. was genuinely
hard not to. she’d
known of all of his
triggers, and most
of them were unav-
oidable sounds. )

i-i don’t see you as
a monster .. b-but
that other side of
you is t-terrifying.

⠀
⠀

[flippy . ⛧ @fliippys]

flaky . . . * deep down ,
ah ' ve got feelings .. ah'm
just scared , that you ' ll
always see me as everyone
else does .

( he tightened his grip around his dog tags , almost ripping them off , but luckily he didn't . )

[* 𝓕𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒚. @timidsprinkles]

( anything to let
the dust settle. )

( perhaps it would be
best if the conversation
went elsewhere. looking
to her left, she noticed
a bird happily chirping
and gathering sticks for
a nest. ) i-it’s alright ..

( what to say, what to
say .. ) u-uhm .. do you
have any pets .ᐣ ⬊
⠀
⠀

[flippy . ⛧ @fliippys]

( his eyes widened , ears twitching . he grabbed his dog tags , head leaning downwards . he bit his bottom lip . )

ah ' m sorry ... ah' really am .

[* 𝓕𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒚. @timidsprinkles]

⠀
⠀
d-do you .. like me,
flippy .ᐣ is that why
you were so worried
a-about my ankle .ᐣ

( it was almost as
if their shyness had
been swapped. after
realizing what she
had just asked, her
eyes widened and
she backpedaled. )

n-never mind - .ᐟ
⠀
⠀

[flippy . ⛧ @fliippys]

blood , nothing more . )

a - ah .. I
don't know what came
* over . . . me.

[* 𝓕𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒚. @timidsprinkles]

⠀
⠀
( she felt her heart-
rate quicken as he
gradually closed the
distance betwixt
them. did he .. want
to kiss her .ᐣ )

( when he retreated
instead, she found
herself awfully pink
in the face. at least
now she knew there
weren’t any hard fee-
lings. )

f-flippy ..
⠀
⠀

[flippy . ⛧ @fliippys]

then slightly moved away , what was he doing .. ? * damnit , flippy you embarrassed yourself . )

[* 𝓕𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒚. @timidsprinkles]

⠀
⠀
( nodding, her
trembling finally
came to a halt.
it was okay. she
was okay. )

( weary optics
studied the area.
there wasn’t a
thing around that
could accidentally
set him off. )

i-i’m the one who
should be sorry ..
⠀
⠀

[flippy . ⛧ @fliippys]

a ghost .

[* 𝓕𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒚. @timidsprinkles]

⠀
⠀
( hesitantly, she
intertwined their
fingers together.
despite her fear,
the gesture served
to ground her like
an anchor. )

y-yeah .. really.

( her cheeks sud-
denly felt a bit
warm. )
⠀
⠀

[flippy . ⛧ @fliippys]

( his shoulders loosened ,
then he tilted his head to
the side — expression softening ,
hands moving to her hands .
softly holding them , a gentle soothing smile . )

are ya' sure ?

[* 𝓕𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒚. @timidsprinkles]

⠀
⠀
( her shoulders fell
lax the moment he
backed off, and she
exhaled a breath
that she didn’t realize
she’d been holding. )

i-it’s .. it’s fine.

( insistent, she forced
a small, meek smile. it
wasn’t his fault .. she
was aware of that. )
⠀
⠀

[flippy . ⛧ @fliippys]

( his grip didn't seem
to have tightened , a
good sign . his expression
seems to be soft , ears pinned
down . he noticed her body
language — fuck , he caused
this . his grasp loosened ,
letting her arm go . )

ah -
ah'm sorry , flaky ..

[* 𝓕𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒚. @timidsprinkles]

⠀
⠀
( she flinched from
his touch as though
it were hot enough
to sear skin. even if
he meant well, flippy
was extremely un-
predictable. that had
worried her most. )

n-no, i am okay ┈
you d-don’t have to
check a-anything .ᐟ

( an anxiety attack
was coming on .. )
⠀
⠀

[flippy . ⛧ @fliippys]

gotta make sure yer ' ok .

[* 𝓕𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒚. @timidsprinkles]

⠀
⠀
( she was trembling
now, stuttering over
her words even more
than before. taking
the tiniest step back,
she gulped. )

i-i twisted my a-ankle
e-earlier. ( * 💧💧 )
⠀
⠀

[flippy . ⛧ @fliippys]

you usually run from me .

why is it now , you are not ?

[* 𝓕𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒚. @timidsprinkles]
