Both Fakir and Ahiru were more ballet people than theatre people, but they were never one to turn down supporting the arts.
However as they exited that particular play, Ahiru wondered if it would have been better to turn down those tickets Pique had gifted them.
"It was certainly…nostalgic?" She gave a confused shrug.
"I can't believe memories of the Raven days would manifest in that way," Fakir ran a hand through his hair. "And with such accuracy…"
Ahiru couldn't help but quirk an eyebrow at that statement, "I mean yeah those events were right, but everything else was just so wrong. Mytho never wore a pair of pants, Rue was mean just to be mean and 'stole' him away from me, and then they made you out to be so…" She began to trail off as she realized how inappropriate what she had planned to say was.
"No need to mince words. I was a grade A jerk," Fakir sighed. "If they had left that out I would be even more mad. Still I hate how they made it seem romantic when we fought," His grip around her hand tightened. "The way I treated you wasn't right, thinking you were an idiot."
Ahiru felt her face heat up, "That was horrible, but to be honest I was surprised they tried to make you out to be so seductive," Ahiru buried her head further into her scarf.
"Seductive?" Fakir now wore a blush of his own.
"Regardless of whether it was really attractive or not, that scene where Faqir pushed Ehiru against the wall was very suggestive."
"See that's what I'm talking about," Fakir sighed again. "I had just locked Mytho up against his will. What could you get all lovey-dovey out of that?" There was really no answer to get from that, so the two of them just walked. Still Ahiru hated the way such a stupid thing was dredging up such bad memories.
"Hey," She whispered, "It's just a dumb story. All that matters is what really happened, and the truth is I fell in love with your kindness. You still have that inside of you too."
"And I fell in love with your empathy. Nobody deserves to call you stupid when you understand people so well."
A familiar warmth spread through her chest. They couldn't be happier, so why worry about such a silly little thing?
