Back at it Again (One-on-One)

"No, you've been nothing but sweet. I've been... confusing."

He pouted, looking down at her.

"You're cruel."

 

"Still," she said, shaking her head. "Still. I'm sorry."

* * *

"The...talk?"

 

She nodded, her mouth pursed as she began to paint the walls.

"Is that like... the talk?"

 

She glanced over at him, before sighing.

"It's going to be weird between us until I do this," she said, walking over to him.

"Uh uh. I'm not going to be the one to explain this to you."

 

She raised her paintbrush.

"I'm sorry."

* * *

"And you don't need to know."

 

She looked at the paintbrush idly before flicking the paint at him.

"What do you think?"

"Look it up later, then."

 

"Yes!" she said with a grin, advancing.

He exhaled with a sigh of relief.

"You can't do that to me!"

 

She swiped at him, a devious glint in her eye.

"I didn't think you were, but you can never be sure."

 

"Surrender!"

* * *

"I'm sorry! I didn't want to get into it."

 

She leaped towards him, brandishing her paintbrush.

* * *

He shuddered teasingly.

"Ugh. Right."
