maybe a little.

even if these words aren't completely honest, they make him happy and warm, and he shows it through the smile that appears.

it's a smile that stays even as she teases him yet again.

"yeah? horse doves? how else would you say it?"

there isn't much food, to be honest, and they'll likely have to go grab some more after this, but that's fine. it just means more time with her.

The complete truth is that she would miss him more than a little, but of course Sol won’t say that to Uri.
[break][break]
It’s hard enough to admit it to herself, and she knows exactly what kind of thing he’d probably start thinking if she shared these feelings.
[break][break]
They don’t need that. Not right now.
[break][break]
It’s easier to talk about things like Uri’s awful mispronunciation of foreign words.
[break][break]
”You’re saying it how you think it would be said when reading it, but it’s not the same language so that’s not how it actually goes.”
[break][break]
She smirks, taking a sip of champagne.
[break][break]
”Hors d'oeuvres. Though I probably also messed it up a little there.”
[break][break]
Words like those are hard, okay?

"there's no way it's actually said like that."

he laughs, reaching for his glass of champagne.

"horse dee evores?"

his head shakes as he sips.

"i think mine sounds better, honestly."

”Wanna look it up? We can see who’s more wrong.”
[break][break]
Both of them, honestly, because good fucking luck pronouncing Hors d'oeuvres the proper way when not understanding the language. The same way they probably don’t say champagne correctly either.
[break][break]
That last part is fine though, because anyone who says it right probably just wants to sound posh and bougie, and you won’t even catch the esteemed POG Bank CEO doing that.
[break][break]
”Horse doves sure sound appetizing, though.”
[break][break]
She’s kidding, of course, and yet she still reaches for one of the hors d'oeuvres.

"you know what? let's."

after another sip, he reaches into his pocket for his phone, sliding it unlock to a very cute picture of young uri and kachow, before quickly realizing he has no idea how to spell it.

he extends the phone over to her only to pick up one of the horse doves.

"how do you...spell it..."

’How do you...spell it…’
[break][break]
Oh, come on, it can’t be that hard, can it?
[break][break]
Raising an eyebrow at him, Sol takes the phone, doing no more than stare at the search bar for a few long seconds, her expression unreadable.
[break][break]
Shit.
[break][break]
How the fuck is it spelled?
[break][break]
Hors d'ovres?
[break][break]
It’s close enough for the search engine to give her a suggestion with the proper spelling, Sol soon returning the phone to Uri.
[break][break]
”See? Easy.”
[break][break]
She says so, but the fact that she just spent over a minute figuring it out sure does contradict her.

it's a minute he spends simply watching her, admiring how hard she tries. he wonders if she'll actually get it, though it's more than likely the search engine will just suggest something to her eventually.

"took you long enough."

shifting closer to her, he brings the phone up to their ears and taps a button which makes it read the word.

he laughs after.

"wow we were not close at all."

”Oh, fuck off, it didn’t.”
[break][break]
It did.
[break][break]
It definitely shouldn’t have taken her that long, but there had also been a few seconds added because Sol hates using phones, especially other people’s phones, and finding the apostrophe to spell d'oeuvres (which she had written as d’ovres) had been a struggle.
[break][break]
She won’t tell that to Uri, of course.
[break][break]
She just smirks… until this too fades away when hearing the word being spoken by a computerized voice.
[break][break]
”Fuck. Really?! See, I told you.”
[break][break]
Quietly, she chuckles.

"horse doves it is."

with another chuckle, he quickly pockets his phone before reaching for his glass of champagne for one final sip.

after placing it back down, he turns back to look at her, never having really pulled away from her space.

he smiles, innocent and warm.

"so, what now?"

There’s something nice about the bubbles in champagne. With every sip, the feeling of them is welcome, and the liquid itself is so light and airy that it’s actually pretty enjoyable to drink. Cheap beer is great, but if she’s being honest, champagne is also okay.
[break][break]
Another sip comes with Uri’s words, shaking her head.
[break][break]
”You’re impossible, you know?”
[break][break]
He’s not. He’s made sure to make a lot of changes for her sake, and Sol is not blind to them despite what she may say. At these moments, she even reminds herself of them.
[break][break]
”You tell me. Not in the mood for more horse doves?”

you're impossible, you know?

"aw, thanks."

she had not meant it as a compliment but he still takes it as one, pretty much accepting it in stride as he smiles in response.

"i mean i don't mind just sitting here munching on horse doves all night."

he shrugs.

"as long as you're here with me."

’As long as you're here with me.’
[break][break]
Always saying things that trouble her, isn’t he?
[break][break]
Always saying things that make Sol want to run.
[break][break]
And yet, she doesn’t, nor does she correct him or look displeased by her words despite the alarm bells that ring with even something as simple as that.
[break][break]
”Soppy. Okay, then, horse doves it is. Until the meteor shower, I guess.”
[break][break]
How long will it be until then, anyway?
[break][break]
This is such a strange event...

is it soppy? yeah, definitely, so he accepts it with ease.

"i'm not usually soppy."

he leaves it at that, letting the implications hang in the air for her to reach for should she want to.

for now, he reaches for more horse doves, eating them slowly as he stays close to her.

Uri definitely is soppy. All the time, actually, but Sol isn’t about to argue about it.
[break][break]
Instead, she holds true to her word, and they sit having hors d'oeuvres and drinking champagne until the lights fade in the observatory.
Darkness.
[break][break]
And then, it comes: the meteor shower. Dozens of shooting stars up in the skies.
[break][break]
’Make a wish’ is what their host tells them to do.
[break][break]
What would she wish for?
[break][break]
Of that, Sol is unsure.
