"I don't think you're the kind of person to do this, but don't yell at me if I do something wrong, okay?" Váli squeezed his hand again and swallowed thickly. More than anything, they wanted to be able to come out and spill all of their worries, but they couldn't. It was too early. Well, in their mind. "Is there anything you want to talk about?" they asked.

Pol blinked, shocked. "Váli, I'd never yell at you. Besides, I'm sure I'm more likely to make mistakes." He squeezed back, trying to reassure her. A small worm of doubt wiggled into his head. Is it even possible for this to survive if neither of us trusts ourselves? Pol scolded himself. He'd make certain that this would work, mistakes or no. He smiled timidly. "Well, I don't think it'll do us any good to worry. Besides, I'd do just about anything for someone as sweet, funny, and gorgeous as you." He gave her a little nudge, chuckling.

Okay. Now Váli's cheeks were beet red. "Ah, I'm not gorgeous." they murmured and used their free hand to tuck a loose strand of hair behind their ear as it fell in front of their face. "You're the attractive one here." they complimented him and coughed. That sounded really awkward. They mentally scolded themselves for saying such a stupid thing. "I'll stop talking now. I don't want you to think I'm stupid." they whispered and ducked their head.

Pol blushed at the compliment. "You're not stupid," he muttered, embarrassed. "But," he said. "I think you need to stop putting yourself down." Pol stared at Váli, suddenly intense. "Since we're a couple, it's obvious that I like you a lot. I'm not going to let anyone, including you, insult you. Ok?" He reached out and took her other hand, looking her in the face. "Please, treat yourself right."

[kanekikennn]

(I should listen to Pol's advice...)

Váli nodded. "I know that I shouldn't put myself down," they frowned and lowered their gaze as he took their other hand. "But I feel like I need to. I've been told degrading things
over the years and I've come to believe them. In time, I'll stop putting myself down, but then there's my self-esteem to worry about..." they trailed off and glanced back up at him. The corners of their mouth twitched into a frown. "Did I ruin our date?" they asked quietly.

{Mm, yeah.}

Pol sighed, a gentle smile spreading across his face. "No," he whispered. "You did no such thing." Slowly, gently, he leaned forward and placed a tender kiss on Váli's forehead. He discovered that she was just the right height. Tall enough that he had to stretch, but not enough to be awkward. "Now," Pol declared, stepping back, "I believe you were going to show me the results of your artistic musings?" Without quite realizing it, the pair had ended up in front of their homes.

[(is no one else going to rp? a lot of people marked but we're the only ones..Also is Pol shorter than Váli?)

A dark blush dusted Váli's cheeks as he kissed their forehead. They squeezed his hand again and nodded, blinking when they realized they were in front of their homes. They bit back a frown. They had wanted to spend more time walking together, but going to Váli's house meant more time with one another. "I'll meet you at my house. Or do you want me to help?" they asked, gesturing to the backpack. "I wouldn't mind helping." they flashed a grin.

{Idk. And he's not really. He's about two inches taller than her, so he does have to stretch a tiny bit to reach her forehead.}

Pol grinned, relieved that Váli seemed to perk up a bit. "Sure," he said. "I think you may have left your pot in my kitchen anyway." He winked and hurried to his front door. He quickly unlocked the door and stepped inside, letting Váli close the door behind her. Immediately to the right of the foyer was a small sitting room. Pol dropped the blanket just inside the room then motioned Váli straight ahead from the foyer, following the hallway into his kitchen. He took off his backpack and pulled out the leftover sandwiches, tossing them in the fridge. Pol turned to Váli. "Is there anything I should bring over?"

[kanekikennn]

Váli blinked. They had left their pot at his house. They followed behind him into the house, their eyes glancing quickly at the garden that they had seen earlier. They made a mental note to ask if they could visit the garden again and paint it for him. Well, the painting part would be a surprise. That's right, he'd asked them a question. Váli thought for a moment before shaking their head, blond curls bouncing slightly. "No, unless you want to bring something." they replied and took a hesitant step forward, leaning up to kiss him on the nose. They pulled away with a dark blush dusting their cheeks and shuffled their feet awkwardly.

Váli's kiss sent a rush of warmth down Pol's spine. He gasped ever so slightly and smiled, sighing happily. "Ok then," he said slowly, "I won't bring anything along, but I can run back over if we decide we want something." He grinned, bouncing on his toes. "I think I'm good. Oh!" He dashed back to the kitchen, grabbing Váli's pot. "Here you go. Now I'm ready." He beamed at her, unable to contain his excitement and wonder. He still couldn't quite believe it. Here he was, a shy introverted boy, with this amazing girl. It seemed like such a fairytale.
