[Day 329] In Bloom Event/Dance Mingle
[DAYTIME: Walking in a floral wonderland. Not to be confused with an actual wonderland. ~~Completely different event.~~ You could be anywhere and everywhere today and not escape the petals.

DANCE: The sector 2 garden is a little extra pleasant and inviting this evening. Gentle breeze, beautiful flowers, delicious hor d'oeuvres, sparkling punch, and music. And dry. Did we mention it's dry? Not a single flood as far as the eye can see. So, find someone and get out there and dance.]

(OOC: Event INFO. Feel free to have your mingle set up cover both aspects of the day.)

[His words take a second to register and then another and a half to really process. All the meanwhile her face is set in a frozen smile and one blink's worth of staring back up at him. She wasn't really prepared for that, at least with their set up being what it was. Her immediate concern (a twisting feeling mid-section that's not too tight but still present) is that it's a romantic confession. She'd take it well regardless of what it is, but there's no immediate response. No quick reply or parroting of the sentiment. Her eyes flick to his lips and back up to his eyes to read his face, half shrouded in the shadows of the hedge maze. She's having a harder time deciphering his expression.

'Love' is a loaded word to society. It's been pigeon-holed and type cast to mean a certain thing.

If it's romantic, it blindsides her. Like when earlier that evening they decided to 'be out' when it came to their banded relationship; there was that initial confusion about what he was asking of her. Romance is complicated and she's no stranger to monogamy (technically doing it right now,) but Marina is a complicated place for focused two-people relationships that edge on that side of serious. She's seen some of the best of the best split ways because it can't work the way it does in the movies. There's no guarantees. It's like a whole hallway of doors behind a single door, all leading to more doors that threaten to need exploring if that first - romantic relationship - door is opened. They could reasonably team up to start exploring them all but that's a really heavy, daunting mission to take on.

But if it's not romantic, well. Rebecca loves a lot of things passionately as well as a lot of people; and so long as they're on the same page and keep flipping them in sync with one another, she's not against a confession of emotion. Because you could say she loves him too in this moment, the intimacy and connection being what it was. The continued attraction and the budding amounts of care the more she's woven into his life.]

[ He regrets it before the words are even fully out of his mouth, knowing there's no way he can portray the delicate nuance of what he actually means with the words that he used. This was a big mistake. Huge. If she thinks that he meant it romantically and doesn't reciprocate, then maybe he just lost the best setup he's ever been a part of in his entire life, and if she does reciprocate... somehow that's even worse. Not that he wouldn't be happy being her actual boyfriend, but what they have is so easy. It's simple, without the emotional pressure of a real romantic relationship. It's exactly what he needs, exactly what he can handle and if he just destroyed that along with their friendship? He might as well go shoot himself in the head, like a suicidal zombie. ]

Ah... [ Should've at least pulled out first, because it's kind of awkward to do it now but he can't stay in her and have this conversation. ] I don't... I mean, I didn't mean it like... love love. I mean, I love you. A lot. You're one of my favorite people here and what we have is great but I didn't mean it all... y'know? Like that. Unless you wanted it like that but I kinda figured you didn't and-

[ Breathe. ]

[Her chest is still rising and falling with heavy breaths and her lips feel drier than they should. She licks at them and listens, letting him explain a little and trying to see how to form her own reply without it becoming a lot of typical 'no no no I understand, no problem!' kind of reassurance. She wants him to know she's not trying to play off an awkward moment but that she's comfortable with him no matter what.

Pulling out is well - a little more noticeable in this moment too, but she just relaxes back against the ground. A rock's kind of digging into her shoulder, it feels like. Going off her instinct that he's not covering for a blunder and that they can still continue on without that whole stereotypical 'Love' ruining anything for them by setting their sights short...] I like you a lot, Aidan. Being around you, getting to know you and any excuse to have my hands on you. [She tugs his shirt hem a little for emphasis. Her voice is steady and calm.] Love it, in fact.

So I guess that means I love you too. [Smile returning, cheekily lifting to one side.]

[ The feeling of relief is like a separate little orgasm on its own, shuddering out in his limbs and allowing him to finally release a breath and relax. Okay. They're on the same page. He lifts himself off her, subtly tucking himself in before stretching out next to her on the ground. A soft little nuzzle, a kiss on her cheek. ]

I didn't mean to scare you or nothin'. I like what we got. 's easy, y'know? [ Uncomplicated. ]

Mmm... [Easy and fun; they could be getting closer than they think but it's like a buffer against the eventual hurt if or when one of them disappears to say it is what it is.]

I'm happy I've found someone who... gets my definition of love. [She tugs up her panties bit by bit, jean shorts to follow but left unbuttoned so she can roll over to her side.] So I can say it too without it getting weird.

[She couldn't say it to Cross for that reason.]

	[ Wiggling into clothes and making himself look presentable again, though he's sure there'll be grass stains and twigs to give them away. Somehow, he doesn't care much. ] Y'know... I never thought about it bein' like... y'know. Like this? Casual. But it's nice. Real nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She wipes a little dirt off her thigh while starting to sit up, admiring him next to her. There's going to be a hell of a lot of dirt on her that she won't notice until she's back out in the party lights, too much to even rub off now if she tried. Not that it matters, although people might start to connect the dots if the two of them stand together out there covered in evidence of their romp. So what, they aren't hiding any thing anymore.]

I like it. [Her hand runs up his stomach, traces over his shoulder and down his forearm. She's still happily sated, though the spike of attentiveness caused by his 'confession' has woken her from the sleepier state that comes with a good percentage of her afterglow.]

My roommate moved across the hall, by the way. You can visit me.

	[ That sure is one way to out themselves as a something. He sighs a little breath of contentment when she strokes him, allowing himself to sink back into the satisfied warmth that his runny mouth so rudely pulled them out of. ] Yeah? You sure? I mean... I'd like to, but... I don't wanna cause no trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She'll just sit, admire and feel damn good in the moment; her eyes drift shut occasionally for a few beats before she reopens them with a few batted lashes.]

That's the thing... funnily enough, he sort of figured it out I was seeing someone - so he knows already. But he's good with that kind of stuff. I'll introduce you the next time we cross paths. [Read: Likelyhood is never.]

	Heh... guess we weren't as good at hidin' as we thought. [ This is good tho. Casual and nice and yeah, he's kind of content with how this turned out. All the good things from a relationship, none of the stress. ] You wanna head back? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A happy sigh.] I guess we should, huh. [She starts to get up, patting her hands on her jeans and fastening them once she's on her feet and they begin to slouch.] Now I'm kinda hungry again. After sex munchies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
