Welcome to Gaia! ::

Liath meticulously placed a flower down on the ground. He took a step back nodding at his work. The entire room was filled with all types of flowers, and every plushie that he could get his hands on, on such short notice. Everything had to be absolutely perfect. Gwen had been Liath's crush since they were children. They had their ups and downs but one thing rang true. Liath wouldn't give up on trying to woo her. Though he didn't care for flowers, such fragile things that really die after such a short period of time; nor did he particularly like plushies, but Gwen did.

Liath straightened the stones he had gathered for them, they sat amongst the wall of flowers and plushies. Right under the large "Gwen" made out of roses. He looked at everything once more and a sudden pang of nervousness crept into his mind. "what if she thinks this is creepy." he shook his head as if shaking the thought away. He checked his watch knowing Gwen would soon be there if she made it on time. He walked out the door closing it behind him and leaned on the wall next to him trying his best to look casual.

Liath's lit up at seeing Gwen. They had a falling out near the end of junior year. When he confessed his love to her and they kissed only to shortly have her choose another. He had heard the word that the two of them had a falling out as well, which he could only hope for his sake was true. "Wow, Gwen. You look... all grown up. Very beautiful." He blushed looking down at his feet. "I know it's been a while and maybe I shouldn't just show up here but I wanted to see you." He extended both arms open motioning to pull her in for a hug.

Liath's heart soared at the words "I missed you too." It's what he'd been waiting to hear for so very long. When she asked if he wanted to come in for a drink, he began to second-guess himself. He had to break into her room to put all of this together. Would she be scared or mad that he would invade her privacy like this? What if she didn't really understand that everything he did was out of pure adoration. Of course, however, he nodded. "I would very much like that." a small smirk toyed on his lips. The is the moment of truth, she would either curse him and he would leave brokenhearted but wiser, or she would accept him and his dream that started as a freshling would finally come true.

Liath was glad that Gwen didn't hit him as he had been bracing himself for that possibility. "Do you like it? I remember how much you used to like plushies. I Gave you every plushie I ever won in the academy." he let out a chuckle. "I've told you once and I'll tell you again Gwen, you're the one for me. Always have been. Ever since the day we met and you told me that you might be my girlfriend one day." Clearing his throat he looked her in the eye. "I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe that day could be today." Liath knew how Gwen was, he knew that she understood emotions differently than some so he had always done his best to go over the top for her. He hoped that this time it would pay off.
