What if I meet the right one and screw it up?

Who: Tavros and Nepeta
Where: Their hive.
When: After this conversation.
Style: Action.
Status: Closed.



-=Tavros is probably the only person in existence who can stres himself out over the use of a smiley face while texting. He'd only been trying to do a cute thing. She likes cute things! But now he's interpreting her reaction as something negative, which has been his personal experience on when trying to garner affections from someone he likes.

So now he's already preparing for the worst when nothing has even actually happened yet. Wow, he sucks at this=-

[Nepeta is getting deja vu as she barges into his respite block - wasn't this her same reaction that one time he called her pretty?

Okay, so maybe she's overreacting, but trolls don't usually copy each other quirks unless they're really really close to each other. But they are, right? Bestest friends?

That doesn't explain her own reaction at seeing that cute combination of their two usual smiley faces, and now she was afraid she'd somehow hurt Tavros' feelings - no, she was going to sort this out! Right now!]

Tavros, Tavros!

-=Tav knew she was coming this time, so he was ready with a smile that was a bit bigger than needed=-

Uhh... Hey!

[bestestfurrend]

[She doesn't really get to see the smile, because she hugtackles him the second she sees where he's standing.]

That was a really cute face and I liked it lots! [There. That wasn't so hard to say, was it? She just hopes it was the right thing to tell him.]

[toreadorkabull]

-=and he lands on the ground with a clank, not having expected that=-

Uhh... what?

-=blinkblink=-

R-really?

[bestestfurrend]

[This is the usual thing that happens when she pounces people, so she doesn't mind, just sits there obstinately and hugs him.]

Uh huh! Of course!

[toreadorkabull]

-=oh! so... he didn't mess up?=-

I, uh... thought you got upset, that I stole your smile.

[bestestfurrend]

What?

[She shakes her head vehemently.]

Oh, no, no, I didn't! I was just furry surpurrised! And it looked so cute with your horns on it too...

[Blushing? Oh yes.]

[toreadorkabull]

-=pretty girl sitting on top of him? he's blushing too right now, oh yes=-

It just seemed like, the uh... natural thing to do, at that moment.

-=he just didn't think it was that big a deal=-

[bestestfurrend]

[There's a pretty girl sitting on him? Nep doesn't see her ://]

I suppaws I didn't really expect it, but...

[She thinks for a few seconds and then nods.] Yes, it looked right.

[That settled, it is now time for snuggles. It's almost always time for snuggles when Nepeta is around.]
