Blushing more, Nina bit her lip as she looked to the side. “W-Why are you doing this?” she murmured, a little angry at herself because she stuttered. However, she didn’t wait for an answer & instead took the muffin in his hands before putting it between them & to his lips. “Here, have a muffin.”
He was startled by her responce. He chuckled and nipped at the muffin easing into his original position. “I was faking it. I wanted to see if you would burst into flames” he stressed the word flames. “i do think you are cute though” he said smiling
Sitting how she had been originally, Nina placed her hands over both of her warm cheeks. She wanted to hide her blush & wait for it to ease away. Her eyes darted to a different location once hearing that he had been faking it; however, her gaze returned when he mentioned flames. She narrowed her eyes at him, wondering if he knew anything or if he was just using a figure of speech. Either way, she put those thoughts to the side upon hearing his following words. “Of course I am, Mr. Faker,” she rolled her eyes, obviously not planning on believing anything he said from that moment on.
Sven’s expression turned serious. He stood up looking at her. He saw she rolled her eyes which always bugged him when people did that. He turn to her and squated to be her level. “So Ms. Cutie what if I did try to kiss you? Would you burst?” His expression was still serious but his tone was kinda mocking. Why would she think I would be serious about kissing her when we just met. He leaned forward alittle trying to hear her answer. “And cant she take a compliment” he thought to himself. He was starting to worry that his intent of making her reveal what she was turned into talking about kissing.
Nina let an amused grin curve her chaste lips. Sure, she had been bothered by his whole façade before, but now, she got a feeling that it might not be just that. In turn, she was amused at how Sven kept talking about kissing her when they barely knew one another. What was he truly trying to achieve? She decided to play along.
If you know something, you might as well go on & say it,” Nina whispered as she leaned very close to him. She placed her hand on his cheek, caressing it gently as if she had known him for months. “My touch is warm, I like the rain… Surely that must mean that I’m different, mm?”
Sven listened to her tone and mused at every idea that passed through his head. This was getting heated playing or not. He leaned closer and whispered “You and I are alike.” She grabbed her hand and moved it off his cheek. “You are different just be careful of who knows this.” He said playfully.
He stood up and opened his hand revealing they were empty. He cuffed them softly and started looking to see if anyone was around. Making sure the coast is clear he began shaping metal. It only took about 4 seconds to form it. He opened his hand revealing a steel flower.
Amazed, Nina looked at the steel flower resting atop Sven’s hand. She knew the history of her own powers & why some of the humans knew about them, but she had never had the chance to meet another person like her. “How pretty,” she murmured softly, her expression relaxed & innocent.
He gazed at her with amusement. “Thats the first time I have heard that about my work.” He said in a cool tone. Well atleast he wasnt alone in this. He took her hand and put the flower in it. “I did what I did to see if you might lose control.” His expression turned into a very sly grin even though he failed.
Bringing the metallic flower closer to her, Nina looked at it curiously before returning her gaze towards him. She smiled kindly, her emotion changing after seeing something so pretty. “I could melt it… but I don’t really want to,” she replied.
He laughed and looked at it again before looking at his watch. He saw class was going to start in 15 minutes and he wanted to be early. “Well cutie our acting game has been fun but I gotta go to class.” He said as he grabbed his laptop. He started yawning and stretched out his arms. “Mythology fun fun fun. Oh and you were so totally blushing”, He laughed as he said this slowly walking off.
OOC: I am sooooo sorry I have school so I haven’t been able to get on til late. Can I have a recap?
We met each other before class then came back to the same spot and found out that we were both infected. It might be good to reab but you dont need to.
Hearing that her last class was about to start, Nina got up herself. She kept the flower in her hand, easily able to keep it from burning up & melting. For some reason unknown to her, she felt calm when looking at it. Maybe, because her mind connected rain with flowers, & rain always had a bit of an emotional control over her.
“Wait, what?” Nina looked at Sven, who was walking away. She could feel her cheeks warming up again as she giggled lightly to herself. “W-Well… maybe a little.”
Sven sat in the back of the class as usual. The teacher was explain Heracles and all of his task. He would normally listen, but todays acting game and the fact he has heard it before made him tune it out. He shut his eyes softly and let his mind think. He was pretty startled that he found another. He then thought of the rain and the flowers. He rested his head on his hand relaxing letting thoughts enter in and out of his mind freely. “Maybe I will get to see Nina again. It would be nice to know someone closer to my own kind.” He thought. His mind came back into focus when the teacher told them the myths they needed to study for next class.
Nina listened to her teach speak about Psychology, the recent subject on the brain. She always found that class to be very interesting, but the anatomy of the brain was never truly her strongest point. In turn, she often caught herself looking down at the metallic flower she had placed atop her desk. Then, she found her thoughts traveling to Sven. She wasn’t surprised, though; although she was stubborn, she understood that she was developing a little crush on him.
