 THERE IS A THIN LINE between what is good and what is evil I will tiptoe down that line but I will feel unstable Emi sighed as she settled into her seat. It was mid-to-late afternoon, and she currently resided in one of the upper-class cafés of the area, in the back. Though she couldn't see them, she could smell the beautiful plants around the area and hear pouring water- perhaps from a fountain? Regardless, she didn't feel like exploring- not with her date arriving soon. Ah, yes... A date of all things- one thing she'd have never gone on after only a short time of being here in America, if not for her parents. She'd only been informed in the last couple weeks, and the thought of it was.. absolutely nerve-wracking, at the very least, and also infuriating due to who they had picked for her to be wedded to- they'd met on very bad terms, and she'd originally thought him to be a horrible, senseless, unapologetic brute. However, her frustrations had begun to fade into acceptance, as after meeting him again he hadn't seemed too terrible, and she wasn't going to say no to her parents. So today she'd gone all out, doing do much as to go to a stylist to have her hair and makeup done. She'd picked the nicest dress she could, also, with a small cropped shawl. A wife to be should make a good impression, after all. So here she sat, twenty minutes early and deciding today, she'd at least try to get to know this man she'd be wedded to- even if something about this seemed so, so very off deep down. Her features remained flushed, and her head downcast as she fidgeted and waited. MADE BY VEL OF GS |

calling in silence, i can only fall apart Angel had expected to be married to a lady of his parents choosing as he grew older, but he'd never expected he'd be married to a lady who acted nothing like a lady. Though, he supposed the fact that their first meeting went horribly was because he wasn't a gentleman like he was supposed to be. It was a little ridiculous having to keep up appearances in front of every single person he ever came across, but it'd alerted him to the reality that any one person could be someone set up to spy on him by his father. It made his faith in humans being good nearly all the time waver. It could be his room mate, the waitress, even someone in one of the many classes he was teaching.
In this case, it just happened to be the lady he was engaged to. Indeed, she was fierce and noble, but the scolding he got were reminiscent of anything but feminine and gentle like his father had told him it'd be. He was sort of glad, because the fact that she would be a disappointment to his father made it easier for him to think he was also a disappointment. Though honestly disappointment was a very weak word. He was a failure, and he was sure his father knew it. He wouldn't bring it up in hopes it'd go away, but he knew his father knew about him liking that boy in high school.
None of that mattered right now, though. All that mattered was that he was nearly fifteen minutes early to one of his dates with his soon-to-be-wife, and that he could see her sitting at the table with a flush on her face. She was earlier than him, though it wasn't hard to be. If five minutes was politely late, then he was twenty minutes late, usually. Today... Today he had deliberately tried to be earlier. He felt, after his appaling first impression, he needed to make up for it.
So he approached the table with soft but audible steps, then slid into the chair and waved a waiter over. "Good afternoon, I trust you're well?" He spoke softly, unsure of his footing with Emi in an obvious way, as his voice wavered on the polite words. "Would you be okay with me having a Heredad Candela Monastrell? That year was a very good year for it." MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS |

THERE IS A THIN LINE between what is good and what is evil I will tiptoe down that line but I will feel unstable Emi swallowed nervously as she heard the approaching steps- she just knew it was Angelico- and for just a split moment, her flush intensified. She couldn't do this. She was going to mess this up, completely embarrass her parents and leave everyone in tears. She-... No. She needed to be calm about this. She could do this. Taking a few deep breaths, she tilted her head up to the man as he spoke with a soft, tentative smile.
"G-good afternoon," She spoke in a polite manner more than anything, "I'm... quite well- this place is nice! W-what about you...?" She attempted a chipper laugh after this, though it came off rather awkward- which was not helping matters, considering he seemed just as on-edge as she was, at the moment. No, she thought to herself quietly. She was going to fix this. As a wife she needed to learn how to properly handle her husband. She sighed once, closing her eyes to calm herself before murmuring, with another, softer smile, "I'm glad you made it, Mr. Carvajal. You didn't have any problems arriving, did you?"She attempted to keep it as sweet as possible- but that attempt fell quickly- as soon as Angel mentioned that strange... thing, in fact. Her brows furled in much confusion as she sat up in her seat, trying to think back to if she remembered anything of the sort. "Ah... I..." She then laughed nervously, saying, "What...? Sorry, I haven't the slightest what that is..." She flushed with shame, as she ducked her head. Oh, now he'd laugh for sure...

calling in silence, i can only fall apart Angelico smiled to himself as Emelie's flush deepened, for a moment wishing she could see herself. She was a very attractive woman, it was really a shame he'd never love her like he was supposed to. It was, unfortunately, a side affect of having rich parents whose only thought was 'How to be more rich?'. At least he knew she'd be treated right with him, even if she deserved so much more.
He folded the cloth napkin into his lap just in case he had any mishaps, then sighed softly. "I am well, thank you. I'm glad you think so. Next time I actually get to choose a place, I hope you like it too." He was aware, now, that she still felt awkward. He understood, and he didn't blame her at all. He was a stranger, and on top of that, they really hadn't met on the best terms. As she spoke again, less nerves and more the proper lady, he had to choke on a laugh. "Yes, well... I had no trouble at all, thank you for worrying. I trust you had no trouble either?"
He blinked as Emelie's face was suddenly all confusion and nerves again, then he reached out and put a hand over one of hers, rubbing his thumb over the knuckles apologetically. "I don't expect you to know anything about wines. You're underage, first, but you also were not raised in Spain. It's a wine made in spain, the 2011 year they have is splendid." He looked down at the menu, "In fact, Emelie, I don't expect you to know anything of the Spaniard customs that I know. Okay? So don't worry about it." MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS |

THERE IS A THIN LINE between what is good and what is evil I will tiptoe down that line but I will feel unstable Emelie listened quietly, taking in every word the young man said, and honestly- he didn't seem as bad as she'd feared he'd be, on this date. This was the second time she'd had this realization, but she tended to forget from time to time- after all, negative memories clung more to the psyche than positive ones- but remembering always made it more difficult.. Because this was a man who could probably have anyone he wanted, and he was stuck with her...She grew somber for a moment, as her eyes met the table, but she quickly perked up again as she noted he'd finished talking. Offering a slight laugh, she said openly so, "I'm sure I'll like it, if you're picking... I don't do too well with spicy foods, though, just a warning." She paused, as she almost noted the slightest bit of amusement in Angel's voice- but for now, she left it be, giving a bright smile. "Yes, I was fine.. You don't need to thank me- it's my job to worry for you, now, so your mother can rest easy!" For some reason, saying it like that, as if being a motherly figure, was much less awkward than saying she was his fiancée. For now, though, she'd not question it.
However, at the sudden touch, the squeaked, the blush blooming upon her features again as she was left there unable to know what to do with this sudden... weird thing Angel just did... the thing with hands touching- oh! Hand holding, yes! She laughed, though, patting her free hand over his as she murmured, "O-oh... Okay, then. I'm going to try to learn, at least..." She wouldn't admit she had been legal back home, and that she hated alcohol because it was like sour candy times ten- she felt, for some reason, that might ruin the mood. "Spain, though... it sounds amazing! Our home countries aren't too far, either. At least... not as far as we both are from home right now."Angelico CarvajalWord Count: 334 A/N: STRAIGHT STUFF THAT ISN'T HENTAI!!!11!! onlyit'snot MADE BY VEL OF GS |

calling in silence, i can only fall apart Angel wondered, as Emelie focused quietly on his words, if she still thought he was a bad person. He really wasn't, a lot of the things he did or said were in good fun, but sometimes he supposed he went too far. He supposed that if he wanted people to think that he wasn't a bad person, and to just remember him for that that maybe he should just start being nice. After all, first impressions stuck, especially bad ones.
He flushed a little at the words, smiling happily at the words. He was afraid this would end badly, but he seemed to be doing well so far. "Good, then i'll be sure to consider that when i pick." He sighs a bit, laughing softly. "You really don't need to worry, i can handle myself. And trust me, my mother worries not." He felt like he understood where Emelie was coming from, but at the same time he had no idea. He would worry, yes. But he figured that if someone was alive for so long they'd have to have some sense of self preservation or something similar.
He pulled his hand back and folded it into his lap at the patting, trailing his fingers over Emelie's palms as he did, laughing softly. "You are adorable. Alright, i'll help you, okay?" He nods a little, then remembers she cannot see and adds, "It is far, but i like it better here. My parents aren't here to trail me all the time." MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS |

THERE IS A THIN LINE between what is good and what is evil I will tiptoe down that line but I will feel unstable Emelie obviously couldn't feel his face, or see his face, but... something in the air, and the way he spoke echoed in her and told her he was cheerful-... smiling, maybe. It brought a smile to her own face, though it was somewhat shy. "Y-you don't have to! I can adjust, if you like places like that, I promise..." She didn't want to seem too overindulged, after all. Not so soon, if ever.
As she listened, though, she let out a soft laugh and shook her head. "Your... people skills, are something I may need to worry about regardless. Besides, if your mother won't..." She looks down, before murmuring, "Everyone deserves to have someone to worry for them, when times get hard... I wouldn't mind being that person."
The laughter, and the way Angelico spoke made her let out a suppressed cry of embarrassment in the very back of her throat, just barely managing to say, "I-I'm not adorable..." The trailing of his fingers had made her shiver with unreleased laughter as it'd.. tickled, really, but she still felt relieved. "Thank you... you're really a good man, Mr. Carvajal.. I think... I don't know much about you at all." She gave a nervous laugh, as she ran a hand through her hair.

calling in silence, i can only fall apart Angel laughed softly at the words, "If you were anyone else i might insist you try it, but i want you to be comfortable with me. We're to be wed, after all. I promise you, you're fine the way you are." He figured maybe her parents had insisted she adjust to his lifestyle, but he was a fairly simple person. In truth he didn't even like places like this, posh and uptight. The music wasn't loud enough, it was too slow, the waiters were too nice... He preferred a relaxed setting with a waiter he could joke with.
Angel's face heated up at the words, and he made an embarrassed sound. "I suppose... that my people skills do leave much to be desired..." he spoke in a soft, embarrassed tone. However, the next bit made him blink. "... Thank you, then. I'll look out for you too, so please allow me to." He smiles across the table, eyes roaming over Emelie's features almost curiously. It was amazing that she could care so much about someone she'd met only thrice.
Angel had to try very hard not to grin at Emelie's weak protest, reaching out and brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "You are. No use protesting." He blinked at the almost-laughter, then his smile became a bit tighter at the words. He wondered if she'd still think he was a good man if he admitted to being gay. However, it was fleeting and he was back to a full, polite smile in moments. "Please, call me Angelico, or Angel, if you prefer." He waved the waiter over and ordered some of the wine he'd mentioned, and some marinated mushrooms as an appetizer. "We'll learn about each other as we go, we've got time." He said softly, reassuring her that it was okay because it was his fault they got off on the wrong foot. MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS |

THERE IS A THIN LINE between what is good and what is evil I will tiptoe down that line but I will feel unstable The way Angel laughed... it put her at ease, just a little bit. "... Thank you," she whispered softly, as she ducked her head, "You can be yourself also... So if anything I do bothers you, or if I frustrate you... please let me know. I don't want to you to feel you can't upset me, after... before." The truth was an important thing, after all- even if the love was a lie right now, it only added to how much they needed to be honest besides that. It'd be the only way to stay sane, in this situation. "I just... want you to be happy. Because you deserve at least that much in this situation, Mr. Carvajal."
Despite everything, she did indeed hear the flustered noises, and it caused her to giggle ever so slightly. "Y-you're working on it. I can credit that to you." She meant that, even with her internal jests. Though as she listened further, a small smile came to her. "... Alright. But that doesn't mean I need you to worry about me all the time," She added, giving a helpless smile, "I'm not that weak." She wanted to make sure she'd made her independency clear, really. The gentle touch and words that followed only made her flush brighter than before- to the point where she could crawl into a hole, if that wasn't so improper. "M-Mister Carvajal..." She whined to herself, too caught up in her embarrassment to notice the dip in the atmosphere for that slight moment. However, she nodded at the next bit regardless. It was... somewhat silly not to call your 'lover' by their first name. "Angel it is... You may call me Emi... Or whatever you wish." She ordered a water and breadsticks as said Waiter addressed her also, before looking to Angel again with a nod. "Yes... I already know you're a teacher. I heard from Mum."MADE BY VEL OF GS |
