When no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
So far, Soh had only admitted her feelings about Koa - or the lack thereof - to a select few, and somehow it made it all the more real to tell Zavien. She might have laughed at the absurdity of it all, of it taking sleeping with another man to really solidify the fact that things with Koa were really, truly over. But there was no going back now, and she had told Zavien the truth. She didn’t regret it.
”No, I get that,” she insisted, something soft in her eyes as she reached to smooth an errant lock of Zavien’s hair, unable or unwilling to keep her hands to herself. ”He’s your friend. I’m… a complication.” Dropping her hand, she bit her lip. ”And as much as it would suck for me, I get it if you… don’t want that.” Even if it might well destroy her. And even if she already knew Zavien’s answer. He’d already told her he wasn’t rejecting her, and she doubted that would have changed in the last five seconds.
As for what they should do now, Soh tilted her head to one side, squeezing Zavien’s hand once before releasing it. Sitting up, she tried not to be self-conscious as the covers pooled around her waist. ”Well,” she said pragmatically. ”First, we could get breakfast? And maybe reassure our companions that we’re still alive?” She wasn’t entirely sure where the pair had gotten to, but she was glad they’d made themselves scarce the night before. ”And then… I guess we should decide what this -“ and she gestured between them, “- is. Are we dating? Are we friends with benefits? Is this something that happened once and will never happen again?” She knew what she wanted, but what about Zavien?
