Paint You Wings [Chase]

[bree]

Bree wasn't really an awkward person, per se. But that didn't mean that she never felt awkward. On the contrary, Bree felt awkward a lot, and she hated it, which is why she tried to be an outgoing person and talk to people. If you could talk to people, then why just stand and be quiet when it would be awkward? Talking came naturally to the faerie anyway, so she would talk when she felt like it. Wouldn't necessarily say what was on her mind, of course, but she was the type of person that would talk just to make a sound. She didn't like the sound of her own voice, but it was much better than the deafening roar of silence.

It was her turn to blush when Chase complimented her. Well, how could he be certain of what her voice sounded like if he'd never heard her sing before? She stared down at her blue sneakers intently, her lips set in a thin, hard, embarrassed line. "Uh. I'm s-sure I don't, but... th-thanks, I guess?" She shakily laughed. Ugh, she really didn't like being complimented. She just didn't have a clue how to react when she was, and it sucked. She knew people meant well... but she also knew that what they were telling her wasn't true, no mater how much she would have liked it to be.

Fall Out Boy. Panic at the Disco. Could this seriously get any more awesome? She looked up again, matching his smile as he spoke. That made her feel slightly better, for unknown reasons. "Thank God." she chuckled, folding her arms and pulling them in close to her body. "That's exactly the kind of music I like."

[chase michael jackson]

Chase had to admit. Making someone else stutter... it kind of made him feel good about himself. It was cute on her too. Adorable. Chase's smile faded when he realized he had felt that emotion before. It was what Bree was feeling before. Well shit... Chase pushed that away and gave Bree a smile. "Stuttering sucks... doesn't it?"

[/b] Chase joked with her, not realizing he hadn't stuttered in that sentence at first, then looking down again when he did.

It didn't matter much because he ended up looking back at her when she said she liked the same music. His eyes lit up and probably had a sparkle to them. "We should play with each other sometime, then. It would be cool."[/b]

This wasn't fair. No. Not in the slightest. Bree didn't really know if she liked the fact that Chase could feel her emotions. Sure, she was fine with him being there, and yes, he seemed nice so far. But it was just... she wasn't able to hide around him. Hiding was how she lived her life, as cowardly and horrible as that sounded. And knowing someone that could see through her mask when she didn't want them to made her feel so awfully vulnerable. She hated that feeling. She wasn't weak, she wasn't. She had weaknesses, but that didn't make her weak.

His words made her laugh, though. And relaxed her the tiniest bit. It told her that he didn't mind that she was embarrassed, that he understood to a certain extent. That reassured her quite a bit, in a strange way. Even if feeling embarrassed should have made her feel worse. "Just a little bit," she snickered. "Or a lot. It's awkward whe it's yourself that's doing it, right? If that made any sense at all."

Uh. Well. A Jam session sounded like so much fun. But the only thing was, could she? She wanted to, for sure. But her inhibitions would probably stop her from doing anything music related in front of anyone. She would try... but she couldn't promise? That sounded okay. She could say that without being judged, right? Chase didn't seem like the type to judge anybody fr something like that. "Well," she said, fiddling with her glasses, "We should. Whether I could actually... y'know... do it, I don't know. But, uh, yeah! I'd give it a try." She smiled warmly. Yes, she'd try. She needed to get over her issues sooner or later.

Chase knew all about it being awkward when it was himself doing the stuttering. All too well did he know that. It was just horrible and embarrassing and he wished he didn't do it but knew that he kind of didn't have a choice. He would always stutter around people he didn't know. It was a force of habit.

"Trying is good. Like... I try to be more social sometimes, but it doesn't always work. But it makes me feel better because I tried."

[/b] Chase admitted but he wasn't sure why he even admitted it. That was something personal, right? Maybe? Chase wasn't sure, but Bree seemed like an okay person to tell that too. "And even if you're horrible, which I don't think you are, I wouldn't laugh."[/b]

Bree hated being awkward. She just hated the whole feeling of awkwardness, wondering why that emotion had even been created. Like embarrassment. Anger. Fear. All the bad things in the world. Why had those been invented? They really, really sucked. That was where all the bad things in the world stemmed from. Negative emotions. And this poor guy, being a soul faerie, would sense them all. It probably wasn't a walk in the park, that was for certain. It was funny thinking of it like that, though, because Bree only ever really saw upsides to situations.

She nodded earnestly, crossing her long legs and leaning forward slightly. It was true, trying really was good. It was better to try and fail than not try and fail. Because, let's face it, you had more of a chance of being successful if you tried than if you didn't. And if you failed? ...See, that was what worried Bree. It shouldn't have mattered so much, but it did. And she didn't know why it did... but it did. That was what she couldn't get past."Exactly! I guess you would feel better about yourself, right?" She shifted slightly where she was sat. "At least you weren't a quitter." Bree liked to think that she wasn't a quitter. And if she could do it... then great. She would.

She gave him a warm smile, curling a strand of her fair hair around her index finger. "D'you know what, that's really sweet of you," she told Chase honestly. "But I'm bad. Just warning you. I would laugh at me, so I'd understand. But yeah. Uh, thank you. It means a lot." She'd rambled on a bit more than she intended to, and once again felt slightly embarrassed. But that was okay, wasn't it? She hoped so. If she was honest, Chase didn't really seem like the type that would care about something like that.

Sometimes Chase wished he was a quitter. It would be a lot easier than trying and then failing because you were too afraid of the people around you hitting you or killing you or something along those lines. Chase was happy that Bree was letting off a good vibe that made him almost smile and relax. Maybe not as relaxing as Chase felt around Brent... but it was nice. A good kind of nice that made Chase happy he came in here.

When she told him he was sweet, he blinked a few times at her. He was sweet? He didn't think he was sweet. He thought he was... just Chase. Nothing special or sweet. Right? "Oh... uhm. Thanks."

[/b] Chase muttered out before blushing again and looking down.

There came a point, in each conversation, where the amount of things to say slowly dropped to nothing. It was hard, really. She didn't like it. It wasn't that she was socially awkward, just the opposite actually, but she still hated those gaps in the conversation. They were horrible and left her fumbling for things to say like some idiot. It was because her brain literally refused to cooperate, and she ended up saying something ridiculously stupid. She hated it, but there wasn't really much she could do about it. Which is what made it worse.

She couldn't help but wonder, though, what exactly Chase was thanking her for. She knew she was dumb at times, but she really was having trouble with it. She'd said that what he'd said was sweet? Maybe he was thanking her for that? She really didn't know. She tilted her head to the side, frowning in slight confusion. "I'm unnecessarily stupid at times, soooo... care to tell me what for?" she queried carefully, turning her body just that little bit more to face him properly. She felt so clueless right now, but it couldn't be helped. She wished that it could... but it couldn't. Oh well. She was pretty sure he wouldn't mind her idiocy. At least, she hoped he wouldn't.

Well wasn't that just awesome. He had said thank you when he probably shouldn't have and now she was asking what he was thanking her for and Chase didn't know how to answer it and he was just kind of majorly screwed at the moment. He was mentally slapping himself at the moment as his mouth opened to explain it and then closed when he couldn't do it. He took a deep breath, and then tried it again. "Uhm... you said I-I was sweet? I-I'm sorry."

[/b] Chase muttered with a slight blush as he looked downward.

[bree]

Call her the dumbest person alive just then, but she really was having trouble with this. She knew that she shouldn't really over think it, because come on. She didn't really want to hurt herself, so the family joke went. Over thinking did nothing but make her feel stupid (which she was anyway) and tire her out. It sucked, it really did, but there wasn't that much she could do about it. Except for laugh at herself. That sounded a lot better than beating herself up over something like this. Yeah. Much better.

She laughed a little, shaking her head at the poor kid. No, he didn't need to be sorry! If anyone was going to be sorry here, it was her for having such a slow brain when it came to things like this. "Honestly, it's okay!" she snickered lightly. "I'm just slow. Like, really slow. In case you haven't already guessed." Which was probable, really, because everyone got things quicker than she did. That was just the world worked. And, now that she knew what he was thanking her for, she could actually move forward. "You're welcome, by the way. Really. It was nothing." Which it was. It was only the truth, anyway.

So... maybe she was slow, but Chase didn't think she should be that slow. His eyes shifted slightly, wondering what he should do in a situation like this. He avoided social situations for a reason, but this was his way of trying to come out of his shell. Forcing himself to be uncomfortable around someone else because he knew he stayed inside his room for too many hours of the day. His eyes went down to his fingernails, which he was currently picking again because he was nervous. "S-so uhm. W-what do normal people do around here?"

[/b] He asked her, ignoring the rest of what she said. That was normal, right?
