“You’re cute too.” Gwen added, slinking her arms around Marla’s neck.

"M'not cute," she protested half-heartedly, secretly loving all the attention.

“Magnificent, ethereal, stunning.” Gwen continued to list. In all honesty she would be happy to spend the day showering Marla with compliments.

"Dammit, Gwen, I think I'm going to have a heart attack." Marla's voice tremored from a repressed, flustered stammer.

“A hospital gown is close to a ballgown, right?” She joked sweetly.

"Close enough…….." If it were even possible, her blush deepened. "Except, uh, ballgowns aren't open where your butt is supposed to be.."

Gwen burst into laugher again, trying and failing to stifle it. “Very true! But you’d still look beautiful in one.”

Marla shoved Gwen away from her, moving her hands to cover her red face. “Gwen!”

Gwen couldn’t stop laughing. “I’m sorry, Princess! But I mean every word.”

Marla, still covering her face, raised a single hand. “Stop talking,” she mumbled, “Before I die of embarrassment.”

“But, Marla!” Gwen teased, starting to quiet down. “Alright, alright I’ll leave you be. For now at least.”

Marla muttered something indecipherable beneath her breath and took a few minutes to calm down. When enough heat and colour had receded from her face, she dared to look back at Gwen,

Gwen beamed at Marla, watching her recover. “You good?”

“I am now..” she mumbled, msg rising again.

“Good to hear, I’m going to starve to death!” Gwen exclaimed dramatically, eager to get moving again. She walked over to Marla, lacing their fingers back together.

(whoah, that was a bad typo on my part…….. Idek what I was trying to write…. sorry lol)

Marla squeezed Gwen's hand, walking much closer to her girlfriend than strictly necessary. "Sure, sorry. It's this way, not that long of a walk."

(Lmao it happens to the best of us)

“We pay way too much to go here. They should at least give us Segways to ride around on.” Gwen complained playfully.

(rip)

"What's a Segway?" Marla asked, tilting her head in confusion.

“You know that thing Paul Bkart rides around on in Mall Cop?” Gwen fumbled over her words, having no idea how one describes a segway.

"You might as well be speaking Greek, I have no idea who Paul… Bakart is, or what this 'Mall Cop' is referencing," she chuckled, a baffled look present on her face.

“It’s a really, excuse my language, shitty movie. I would say we can watch it, but it’s so dumb.” Gwen shook her head. “And it’s Blart. I just can’t talk today.” She chuckled, smirking.

"Right…." She let loose a small laugh, shaking out her hair. "You'll have to show me a picture of this 'segway', though."

“They’re a complete joke. I’ll show you while we wait for our food. Is that the place over there?” Gwen pointed to a building they were walking towards.

"Yeah, that's it." Marla lead Gwen over, shyly ducking her head when they entered. A waitress hurried up to them, a huge grin on her face. "Marla! Who's this?"

(bump? also I just saw my awful typo I'm so sorry, let me fix that)

(Oh good lord I forgot about this, distracted by Romeo lmao)

Oh gods, why? Social interaction I’m not prepared for… Gwen forced herself to give an awkward wave, holding onto Marla’s arm.

(lmao it's np, tbh I was too)

Marla clung to her girlfriend, clearing her throat awkwardly. "Chelsea, hi. Uh, this is Gwen. My girlfriend."

“Hi?” Gwen stopped waving, looking at Marla for guidance.

Chelsea chuckled and sent a wink Marla's way before leading them over to a table.

Gwen slid into the seat, her face flushed red. “It’s too early for me to be this awkward.” She murmured softly.
