Heaven's Feel



[Maybe you've heard, or maybe you haven't, but there's a new business in town. It's plastered everywhere, posted on the side of every building and shouted from the end of every street corner in Caissa. Heaven's Feel, Heaven's Feel, come fly with the angels at Heaven's Feel! Really, who writes something so cheesy? The owner must be a real piece of work, you think, yet there's something enticing about the sound of it...

If you do decide to stop by within the first week of May, you'll find a massive celebration awaiting you: the celebration of opening day! Eager workers wave down anyone who gets close, with offers of wine tasting, sweet treats, and even speed dating. The store's interior bustles with activity as visitors fill out cute little survey cards in hopes of a hook-up. The owner in question can be found mingling in the crowd, bartending, and drawing charcoal caricatures of couples for a nominal fee.

Overall, the atmosphere is one of excitement. Hop right in! There's plenty of room for lounging on the cushy furniture, and plenty of time to find your own hottie.

...or perfectly platonic friend. Look, we're not judging or anything.]

[ DON'T LAUGH. He's reddening by the second. ]

I--I mean, I love you as well, of course --

[ Which is true: he loves people very easily, very quickly. ]

I just. Don't hear that, very often.

[sediments]

[ He pulls away again, replacing his face with a hand on Adra's shoulder, to look the other man in the eye. ]

You should. [ He says seriously. ] Before we can't say these things anymore.

[hymnals]

[ He feels his heartbeat quicken. He has no trouble feeling love; he feels it so much and for so many people that sometimes he worries his ribcage will fracture because of it--but he's not always the best when it comes to demonstration or expression (hence, food). ]

You're right. I don't know how much time I have with all of you, and --

[ He's getting a little verklempt ... it's the wine. He shakes his head, irritated at himself, embarrassed. Ugh. ]

[sediments]

[ Oh no, Adra's getting emotional and it's making Bolin get worked up. ]

I know! I'm gonna miss you when I get back—

[ But is it enough to keep him from wanting to go back? Not even a little. And the thought makes him feel guilty, turning those slightly ashamed eyes toward his friend. ]

But thanks for everything, Adra.

we can leave this here i think :*

[ He rubs at his eyes; forces himself to breathe. He's in favor of being demonstrative, of expressing oneself--but this space is just too public. A deep sigh, a hiccup, and he's got hold of himself. ]

The same for you, obviously.

[ It's painful, suddenly, to think of going back to Azeroth. He must, of course, and would take the chance immediately--same as Bolin, with his family, and his world. But he's been here long enough to form connections, to love these people, and knowing that one day they'll be gone hurts.

Best not to think on it too deeply.

He reaches for Bolin's hand, giving him a gentle squeeze. ]

Come on, then. I'll split a cupcake with you.
