His gaze was inevitable.

She felt his gray eyes staring up at her from his place on her lap. Small hands pushed through his lavender locks, gently untangling the knots and smoothing out the rest. Dawn pursed her lips as she gaze a quick peek down, swallowing when she caught his eyes with her own. Don't get her wrong, spending time with Paul like this was all that she ever wanted nowadays, but when he actually agreed to doing such things, there was always a speck or a hint of awkwardness looming through the atmosphere.

It was no secret to her that Paul was the one to touch often. His hand rose up, fingers tracing her soft cheek, successfully having a small 'eep' emit from her lips.

"Dawn," he murmured as he shuffled a bit to make himself comfortable. The grass underneath him wasn't the best feeling – it was slightly wet, but the way her fingers brushed at his hair let him fall into a gentle relaxation.

"Yes?" she peeped out.

His eyes hardened. "Look at me."

She didn't look right away, but when she did, he found his face, lacking his perpetual scowl. His expression was a relaxed one, with his eyebrows rested in place and no eye creases in place. Gray eyes were soft on her. She felt her body ease.

"Beautiful," Paul simply commented with another brush of his fingers. He observed as a blush tainted her soft cheeks and under his fingers, making him breathe a chuckle in content.

Dawn's actions spoke for her words. Her blushing and her sudden quickening of her hand in his hair was all it took to show Paul he got her again.

"Paaaul," she whined tenderly, pouting her lower lip. She stared back out at the forest scenery before them, calming herself as he chuckled again.
