          ^{the night is still young, a glass of water is tucked away in between manicured fingertips before she’s turning her gaze to each person that keeps talking. the truth of the matter is she’s got her eyes entirely locked on HIM … though nadia truly wishes that it wasn’t, her gaze unfortunately can’t be torn away. her heartbeat is thick in her chest, dark optics just rolling around the surroundings in between small sips of her drink, her free hand wandering around the table as she tucks it below to her lap. though elwood seems to be occupied in all things that are far from the femme but it’s not until she goes to reach for his own hand that she’d either get swat away, or spoken to later about the latter. though they’re on that level of uncertainty with one another ; she’s been trying her absolute best to really understand what exactly is going on between the pair ( even if it’s practically nothing ) which only seems to fail her as time goes on & on … well tonight she plans to really make or break it, risking it as fingertips ghost effortlessly over his ; regardless of the deep pit of fear burrowing within her chest, right behind her loud, stammering heartbeat.} 

          _{there’s a cataclysmic void in his chest that’s caused him so much pain and so much heartbreak, that it’s easy to assume elwood is cold hearted. there’s moments when when he’s held the world in his hands, only to feel it crumble within his fingertips – there’s times when he’s too emotional, and then other’s when there’s no emotion there. the unfortunate reality is his ‘ relationships ‘ follow the same theme. he isn’t a people person, but that’s not to say he doesn’t experience lust and love alike, but he’d rather ignore it altogether. it’s for that reason that he’s so hesitant with nadia ; truth be told, no matter who he’s with, elwood is reluctant to show much emotion love-wise around his friends, but she .. makes him feel something he hasn’t before, and it’s a cliche in many different senses. he can feel the pitter patter of fingers ghosting across his hand, and it takes all of elwood’s effort to not cut off conversation with the boy before him immediately. the words keep flowing, as though nothing is wrong. he shoots nadia a look – not angry, per say, but definitely confusion. frowning, elwood upturns his hand and links their fingers, if only to figure out what she wants from him.}
