*Whispering* Hey guys
*Whispering* Hey guys - Rogue here - this thread is an AE ball. The focus? To ship as many unshipped AEs as possible. If your AE is already shipped, that's fine. Let's practise writing young romance. Keep it clean and innocent, but sweet nonetheless.
What are you doing?
*Screeches* HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN STANDING THERE???
I just got here. Why?
*Relieved* Oh it's nothing-

Estrela~
To my surprise, my apology seems to take him aback.
"I'm not disappointed! I should be the one apologizing if I made you think that. As for doing something I enjoy, I'm enjoying talking to you." Before I can reply in my shock, he adds, "Oh, and, um, if I'm making you uncomfortable or anything, or if you don't want to talk, you can tell me. My sister sometimes does that, if she gets overwhelmed, so I get it, just let me know and I'll leave you in peace."
Not only does his first response surprise me, but he goes even further to consider how I feel! Gratitude rushes through me for Ace.
"Thank you, for all that you said," I begin, "It is very kind of you to consider how I feel. It's okay, though; I don't believe I get overwhelmed, just... overhtink talking, I guess. I factor in too many things, and predict things so many ways, I usually just... end up prefering not to be bothered," I confess. I find it strange that I could confide these things into a stranger such as Ace, but I also feel he deserves my honesty.
Another song begins, free-flowing with an abundance of guitars.
"Would- would you like to dance?" I blurt out.

Is it too late for Emerald Frost, Daisy, and Patrick to join? I mean if there are even any AEs left for them to be shipped with.
Patrick's really the only one I want shipped anyway so...

Yeah, Khione and Rhaksha are definitely open, and Apollo might be.

Both my AEs are not shipped, especially because they are particularly new characters, but I think most AEs are not shipped. Only a select few have had that chance.

It is it ok if I join really late? :-\
Name: Gracie
Gender: Female
Age/Look: 16, but has been mistaken for a 12 year old
Appearance: Gracie has a lot of pale purple hair that she will be wearing in a high ponytail. She will be wearing a white mini-dress made of lace and white heels.
Basic Personality: Introverted, shy, quiet, intelligent, and a good listener. The only thing she is confident in is her singing.
Views on Romance/Significant Others: Well, someday I want to find someone to love. I'm just worried that when I meet someone I'll be too shy to make a move. :'(
Shipping Status: Open to shipping with a boy her age, if there are any left. I'm really late.
Other: She has no friends because I just created her. I'm pretty new here. Am I even doing this correctly?
Hopefully this works *fingers crossed*
^_^

Nymph~
Harper blushes.
"Oh--well, I--um--yes, it seems so."
Inwardly I wonder at this response, but outwardly smile at it--then realize I have nothing more to say, no burning questions to ask. I watch Harper, half-peaceful, gathered hair and soft spines subtly forming at the back of my head, my dress darkening slightly as if touched by fire, or rain.
I now consider Harper's pause earlier. She was thinking. Perhaps this is something we may both continue to do? Take our time, without rushing into replies? Perhaps some of our silence will not be awkward, if such a thing is possible. Now, however, I remain uncomfortable.
I begin to speak, and so does Harper. We both cut ourselves off, stumble over mutual apologies.
"Ah, I-I'm sorry--"
"Oh, um. Sorry?"
She looks like she might say something, but I jump in first.
"Go ahead."
~Sorry I'm late!

Ace~
"Would- would you like to dance?" My face splits into a beaming smile.
"Yes, absolutely, definitely, I would-" I stop as a stumble over my words, take a breath, and start over. "Yes, I would love to dance." We make our way to the dance floor with a nice song playing, and stand there in the midst of the other people dancing. Estrella looks at the ground, and I look around the room. I catch Bean's eye across the dance floor, and she starts gesturing, prompting me. I look back to Estrella and offer my hand.
"Shall we?"
Harper~
Nymph and I both start speaking at once, then apologize, which, somehow, serves to make the whole thing even more awkward. I hesitantly take a breath to speak, but Nymph does so first.
"Go ahead," she says.
"Um, well," I say, inwardly thinking that this probably isn't the best start, "I was just going to say that, um, I think this is nice?" I plow on. "I mean, talking to you. Or not talking? Which isn't to say that I don't like talking to you, because I do! I really do. I just mean that it's kind of nice to be with someone who makes the silence feel almost comfortable, like it's natural and not awkward and like I'm not doing something wrong or... something." I finish, trailing off. I can feel my face burning as I look away.
~~
Side note: I am so, so sorry (again). I've been very busy with theatre, so I didn't have time to post, then schoolwork started piling up and I just procrastinated, so, I apologize!

Estrella~
"Yes, absolutely, definitely, I would-" he pauses, takes a breath and restarts. "Yes, I would love to dance."
Such a response fills me with a mixture of releif- how bad would I have looked if he had refused?- and more nervous than ever- I'm at a perefct risk to ruin everything that has been going right so far this evening.
We stand in the middle of the floor, another pair or two of dancers surrounding us... my eyes dart around for a few seconds as we stand there, then I settle on the floor, smooth and reflectve, ever a friend to the red face of a lost introvert. I watch as Ace looks to Caribbean for help. She, in her kindness, guides and encourages him. We both look back at each other, Ace now offering his hand.
"Shall we?"
As I accept, I soon notice that my own hands are no sweatier than his. Slowly, we pick up an easy kind of step-and-revolve movement. I can feel my muscles relaxing; this isn't stressful, or embarrassing, or awkward, as I thought it would be. I can sense the same releif in Ace as well.
"Haven't stepped on your toes yet,... so far," he says. I can't help but giggle the tiniest bit, and blush even harder.
"You're not so bad," I say eventually. He smiles crookedly.
