you look like you're having fun. [ psl ]

WHO Casey ([personal profile] dragonaught) / Gabriel ([personal profile] cozykindler)
WHAT Magicpunk/modern setting where a young human is courted by a dragon who believes the human is their one and only special person. Adorable dates ensue.
WHEN Casey is 21, Gabriel is ??? who knows with dragons, man...
WHERE Between a museum and a restaurant.
WHY because we're tired of s6 Leo being shit and wanted cute

The museum had been fantastic. Casey was still getting over how educated and charming Gabriel was, even in the midst of breathtaking art both magical and mundane, they just couldn't take their eyes off him the entire time. It was embarrassing, being caught more than once, but it was hard not to look and be in pleased wonder every time he was still there. This was real and it was all for Casey, and that was something they were going to cherish for a very long time. This was one of their first dates after the fateful party where they'd met and yet... walking down the road, hand-in-hand, making their way to dinner as the sun gave way to dazzling stars and galaxies residing beyond...

It felt only natural.

Thoughts going into far too sappy a direction, Casey raised their free hand and covered their mouth to prevent the smile trying to blossom. Oh, Gabriel was definitely going to think they were going too far, too fast, too swept off their feet. They had to be missing something somewhere. If they could just keep following the right steps a little while longer before Gabriel caught on to how clueless they were about all this, then... then maybe they could make it real. Fake it until you make it.

"I'm having fun," they said, more of a murmur considering their hand was still trying to stifle the smile. "I hope you are, too. Are you?"

Living for hundreds of years, dragons would go insane if they didn't keep things simple for themselves. Where the shorter lived species could get away with it, dragons just had too much time on their hands to be able to live like a humanoid does. Even city dragons, like Gabriel appeared to be, didn't keep up with the complex webs humanoids wove into everything they touched, only caring about the important things in life and nothing beyond that.

"No, I was going to tell you, though in a much better way than this," he admitted, sounding slightly embarrassed by how badly he's screwed this up for them. "It was going to be a gradual introduction to everything so you wouldn't get overwhelmed by all the information."
