Lunamor she/her Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Weaver of Lights said: “Hmmm… Nathan?” Edgar asked, stepping a little closer to Jenny again. “I like the heart, it gives them character. Personality.” “Nathan. That fits him too.” Jenny added a tiny A + N inside of the heart and drew a tree trunk behind it. She liked the short story that it told. Perhaps they were forbidden lovers, sneaking to the tree together when they could. Or they just liked the tree. It was barren of leaves. ”You’re great at naming things.” Quote Crickets do weirdly look like a Nathan to me.

It’s been mostly happy so far, but one got beheaded and the other broke his wings so that stinks for them. They’re still trying their best to be happy, though. They’re doing a pretty good job, all things considered. Ariana’s father doesn’t approve, though. You see-“ Jenny then proceeded to tell what was essentially an abridged version of Romeo and Juliette, minus the tragic ending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He liked hearing her talk, seeing her excitement about the story. And just seeing her. He reached his hand out, as if to grab hers, but then pulled it back. It was back to this then. He hoped he’d be able to fix what he’d done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hoped he’d be able to fix what he’d done. Jenny didn’t notice his hand reach for hers, too absorbed in her tale. When she finished, she looked at him, oddly solemn. ”The story won’t end well for the crickets if they don’t figure out how to fix themselves. Crickets eventually become crazy without a head and sad without wings.” She grabbed his hand, not in a romantic way but in a sincere way. ”You need to stop clipping your wings, Edgar.” 4 minutes ago, RoyalBeeMage said: "that story is just Romeo and Juliet without the ending. and with crickets." ”Art imitates life and all that.

Jenny looked down, her expression almost defeated in a way. Maybe the voice was right. Maybe Edgar would never listen to her. She might not be good enough to make him happy again. That terrified her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So she just stood there, glad that Edgar hadn’t left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She eventually stopped, grinning like crazy. Jenny then looked to the side and realized that they were probably being watched by nearly everyone else. She turned a deep, deep red. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny then looked to the side and realized that they were probably being watched by nearly everyone else. She turned a deep, deep red. Edgar flushed. Had he done something wrong? She’d been the one that had kissed him though. Why was she blushing so much? It’s because of you. You did something wrong. You are alive, and that’s wrong. She’s embarrassed to have kissed someone like you. But she was smiling. He was so confused. Everything about her was confusing. It was worth it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
