[location: park]

[maidfromashes]

[On a beautiful day like this, there is absolutely no reason to stay in-doors when you could be outside. That was why Bianca had commendeered the tiny park's gazebo. There weren't many people in her dance class on this day of the week, so there was room enough for them all, and the gazebo was open and airy enough that it hardly felt like they were under cover at all. If they didn't need the firmer ground, Bianca would have done it on the grass.

[It was the more experienced class, too, which meant no one was bothered by people stopping to watch, Bianca least of all. Oh, she was aware of them, but when her focus was on instructing her class she ignored them admirably.

[That didn't mean she didn't take the opportunity to take a breath and look around on occasion.]

[ He shrugs. ]

I've had a lot to think about lately. That's all.

[maidfromashes]

And that results in you staring and walking into trees?

[pettythief]

Sometimes. [ He huffs. ] Look—what's it matter to you, anyway?

[ Chris liked it better when he could watch his unattainable crush from afar and not have to deal with her maybe actually liking him back once she knew he existed. :c ]

[maidfromashes]

Because. You're cute.

[Grinning, she leans forward to flick his nose.]

Like a puppy.

[pettythief]

Like a—[ He pulls his head back, blinking at her for a moment. The absurdity causes him to laugh in (if nothing else) confusion. ]

A puppy?

[maidfromashes]

That's right.

[She pokes him on the nose again with a smirk.]

Like an oblivious, easily-distracted puppy.

[pettythief]

[ He blinks, ducks his head back at the poke again. ]

Hey, I'm not oblivious.

[maidfromashes]

This coming from someone who ran into a stationary tree.

[pettythief]

You might wanna get your eyes checked, 'cause I didn't hit it. [ POUTING. ]

[maidfromashes]

It was close enough to count under the heading of 'oblivious'.

[Where are they going? Bianca's not sure. She's just following Chris. Also, that pout is adorable and makes her grin and flick his lip.]

[pettythief]

[ Chris blinked, then brought a hand up to his mouth as if to check on the spot she flicked. Definitely more playful than he had taken her for... though that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. ]

Gee... thanks?

[maidfromashes]

Oh, it wasn't necessarily a compliment.

[She arches her eyebrow at him and gives him a smirk.]

[pettythief]

[ His lips twist wryly in return. ]

Then, thanks for nothing?

[maidfromashes]

I said it wasn't necessarily a compliment, not that it was nothing.

[It's a semantic and she knows it, but he really was adorably oblivious and the banter was fun.]
