comment with your character.
other people will reply to you.
your characters (in a relationship, in love, in some sort of attraction that gravitates around the other, in idk 'love' is a many-splendored thing) are commanicating via: passionate confessions written on parchment, furtive notes scrawled in code, passive-aggressive post-it notes, messages carved in trees, smoke signals, instant messages on space age computers, text messages complete with lovey-dovey pictures, whatever!
have fun!

You'll have to dye it for me. I've never done it before.

I still think yours looks good.

Oh no, I’d leave it to a professional. I’m semi-decent with styling my hair. I don’t want to risk damaging yours.

You think? It’s been at least a month since it was touched up.

You always look beautiful.

I wouldn't mind letting you do my hair. It means I could spend more time with you.

[It takes a moment for Aqua to reply. She’s blushing and just….ahhh, he said she was beautiful. ]

You're too kind.

…I could comb your hair, but if you want to spend more time together…I’d like that too.

I'd like that. Let's do that.

[He's going to pretend he didn't see that blush. You know, just to not embarrass her more, he's feeling nice today.]

[ If he could see her blushing…was her phone camera on? She didn’t send that in a text or anything.

But…ahh, he is too kind at times. ]

Okay, um, later today? I’m picking up a few things for my brothers. I should be home shortly.

[ His home but…it counted as hers too, right? Considering she had been living there since their items got switched. ]

[Those goblin powers, you know. He's a little sneaky spy, Aqua. But he'll only spy a little bit. Sometimes. He can't help himself. Okay, he's a creep. But a nice creep.]

Take your time. I'll be here. Deokhwa can pick up the hair dye if you need it. Gives him something to do with his time.

No hair dye! I’m not messing up your hair with that.

If I need anything, I can pick it up on the way back.

Did you need anything?

Just you. I'll be waiting here.

Do you want me to brew some coffee? Tea?

Coffee would be great actually. I don’t think I slept enough last night.

Consider it done.

Thank you!

I’m wrapping up here and should be back in about…ten, maybe fifteen minutes?

Take your time. I have an eternity to wait, after all.

Your time is still valuable.

Unless you would rather I not come back until tomorrow?

[Teasing? Yes. Flirting? …possibly. ]

["Kim Shin is typing..." comes up about five times as he tries not to sound desperate. Eventually...]

If you have something important I would want you to handle that first.

I will still be here.

[Never mind him pacing repeated circles around the room trying not to send the "come home right now" message he typed and erased like ten times.]

[Aqua can sense his distress a little. The fact it took him five tries of writing then stopping and writing again kind of give it away. ]

I don’t have anything important going on. I’m heading home.

I’ll see you soon.

[And true to her word, she does arrive at his doorstep in fifteen minutes…with flowers in hand. ]

He was not expecting... flowers. That's something he's supposed to give to her. Still - he is a gentleman, or playing at one.

"You made it," he says with a smile, offering to take any bags or other things she may have with her before helping her step inside. "There's coffee," he offers, trying to be helpful rather than his usual pest-like self and attempting to cover up that he was a blushing mess just a few moments earlier.

"Do you need help bringing anything in?"

"Yeah, happy to be back," Aqua says with a soft smile, being mindful of what she has. At his offer, she gives Shin the bouquet of flowers and a bag that's filled with citrus.

"Coffee sounds great right now." Because she had been out for the last few hours and needed a boost of energy. Was it bad that she enjoyed spending more time with Shin in his home than she did at hers? Her brothers could be such a handful at times--especially with Terra asking one question after another about her living situation.

Yes, he was a protective older brother, but she knew what she was doing...most of the time.

"My father wanted me to bring some oranges back to the house. There's more than enough for everyone." And they weren't too tart to boot. "And I thought some flowers would be nice. I hope that was okay?"

She stepped inside and walked with Shin to the kitchen, eager to have that cup of coffee.

"I'm supposed to give you the flowers, you know," he replies with a pout, but accepts the flowers with a smile all the same; soon, he's placing them gently into a vase so he can display them nicely on the kitchen table where he's already served them up two cups of steaming hot coffee.

"We'll have some before you have to take them home, though maybe not with coffee. Unless you like coffee and oranges together," he says with a chuckle. He's already set out the sugar and creamer for her and he stops to pull the chair out for her so that they can sit together. After she's seated, he sits alongside her and picks up his mug before reaching up to gently stroke one of the flower petals.

Sipping his coffee, he turns back to Aqua with a smile. "Do you only want oranges for dinner? Or did you have something else in mind. Surely we can't have coffee and fruit only. I mean, we could, but... we should probably eat something more than that."

"Ahh, well..." Aqua began, fighting back a blush. She watched him move to place the flowers in a vase.

"I wanted to do something for you," she admitted softly, hoping he didn't see the pink hue on her face. Shin had done plenty for her, and Aqua felt it was the least she could do. Besides, the bright hue of the flowers would help perk up the place a little.

"Oh, the oranges are for here. My father bought too many and gave them to me, and I brought them here to share with everyone." A good snack to have at any time, and perfect to use for cooking...or just for making juice.

"I can't say I'd like oranges and coffee together. Unless it was chocolate with a hint of orange. That might be a good combination." She moved to take a seat at the table, grateful for the cream and sugar. For the moment, she took a few sips of coffee as it was. The bitter and rich notes danced on her tongue and helped her feel more awake. As for what to have for dinner...she shrugged her shoulders.

"Honestly, the day got away from me and I haven't thought about food?" she let out a sheepish chuckle. "I'm fine to have something simple, unless there's something you'd like to make?"

And well, if he was going to make dinner, maybe she could try to make an orange based dessert.

"How do you not think about food?!" This man was governed by his stomach, by and large. If he wasn't thinking about food, something was seriously wrong. "You need to eat. You haven't had anything all day?" Of course this was also because he was Korean. Food is their love language.

"We could make an orange tarte for dessert, but you must eat something substantial first," he insists, straightening up as if about to lecture her while sipping his coffee. There's a fine line between doting and nagging and he's easily straddling it right now but don't tell him that. He might pout. "We could do a salad, or something light, or we could just order in fried chicken." So Korean. "Just make sure those freeloaders don't shake you down for anything."

Of course the reaper and Deokhwa would be lurking around with their puppy eyes trying to get a bite. "You need your strength so don't give in to their wiles." Whether he was actually trying to just deny them food or not is another story. "Anyway, just tell me what you're feeling like eating and we can either cook or order."
