Like Faye, Orion was quick pick up on the initial nuances of shaping the clay as it spun at a casual pace on the pottery wheel. At first he was letting his hands run dry, causing the clay to scrape off onto his palms. Then he was wetting his hands a little too much, and the clay began to drip off in noticeable trickles. Eventually, he picked up on how much water he should be using, and the clay began to gain height and take shape. Unfortunately, it was at that point that Faye seemed to be losing her touch.

He looked up at Faye with a hint of concern in his eyes. Her irritation could be felt and he hoped that the learning experience was not ruining their time together. Even when he slowed the wheel down slightly for her, she seemed to be stuck in a downward spiral of frustration.

"Alright. Hold on. I'll show you what I've been doing."

The wheel slowed to a stop as Orion removed his clay-covered hands from the vase-in-progress and stood up. Using his foot to scoot the pedal over to Faye's side, he placed it in front of her and took up position behind her. With his front nearly pressed against her back, he looked over her shoulder and put his hands on top of her's.

"You're in charge of the spinning now, Faye. Go easy, it's more sensitive than it looks. I'll guide your hands."

Orion was nearly whispering into her ear as he guided her hands and fingers over the clay, coaching her on how much pressure to apply and where to put it.

"Like that... Just like that..."

When Orion said he would help her Faye never imagined how he'd help her. She just thought that maybe he'd try from where he was sitting, but he got up and sat behind her her.

Her breath caught in her throat from how close they were. She liked the closeness though, Orion was warm compared to her and what could she say? It simply was nice, this closeness. She knew his closeness was distracting, but she couldn't concentrate on what he was saying.

Oh! She'd be controlling the speed? This was bad. She had it for a while with his help, and then she stepped down on the petal a bit too hard causing the wheel to spin quickly and unfortunately she got a little but if clay on herself.

"Oh great.." She muttered, then started to laugh at herself. "Sorry sometimes I automatically assume I should be good at something the first time I try it. "

She tried again this time less frustrated and began to get the hang of it.

"I'm doing it!" Faye said cheerfully and turned to try to look at Orion name almost bumping heads. Her eyes went wide, "Oh.. Uh," she was kind of speechless. "Sorry."

As they started spinning the wheel and molding the clay once again, together, it slow began to dawn on even Orion how close they were. Sitting behind her with his legs apart, he was basically molding his front to Faye's back and resting his head on her shoulder. There was seemingly no part of him that was not in contact with her as his arms were traced along her's, and even his legs were squeezed on the outside of her's. Not even Orion could be ignorant of their closeness, especially when he was close enough to smell Faye. She smelled like strawberries.

While he kept up appearances for the most part, thanks in part because Faye could not see his face on her shoulder, a pair of employees took notice from outside their sight. They thought it was adorable and even romantic. They kept referencing some movie too.

"Woop! Got a little on ya there, honey."

The whole experience was more fun and playful than it was embarrassing, for Orion. As Faye slowly got the hang of the wheel and the clay, he started easing off his instruction and let her take control more and more.

"Don't be discouraged. The first time is always a learning experience. Just enjoy it and try to learn what you can."

Faye nearly whipped her head into his and he had to jerk away slightly out of instinct. But he quickly returned to her shoulder with a smile and a kiss on her nose.

"No problem~ You're doing great. Lets see if we can get this thing a little taller now..."

Though his hands guided her along the spinning clay, he also seemed to be taking some time off from that to move his hands over her's in a more affectionate way. The biggest sign that his intentions were changing, however, was when he snuck a little kiss onto Faye's neck as they worked.

Faye · Feb 25, 2015

Faye didn't take notice of anything around her, besides Orion, and this clay thing that just happened to be the reason for their closeness. She wasn't complaining though, simply just being thankful.

She giggled to herself when Orion mentioned she had gotten it on her, and bit her lip, and took a chance to look at him again. What could she say? She liked to look at him.

Listening to him encourage her was nice as well, it made her feel like she wasn't doing such a bad job when really the clay she was molding didn't look like much particularly.

And then when she had almost bumped heads With him he had surprised her with an adorable smile and kiss on the nose. Oh the feelings he gave her, she sighed in a good way and relaxed against him more than before, she hadn't realized how tense she was before.

When he suggested that he helped here get the vase taller, he really put his hands on hers. It wasn't in a rough way to control her hands, but in a way that was gentle, yet they still guided hers in the right way. She wanted to let him know her feelings, but a kiss on her neck caused her breathing problems again and a shiver went up her spine. Maybe he felt the same way? There was only one way to know, she'd tell him how she felt, and if he didn't return the affection which he clearly already had, then she'd back off in some way.

She wasn't so sure how to start she'd never really told anyone how she felt about them before, as they were molding the clay, she watched it turn into a more vase like feature. She then got the nerve, "I just can't you know shake this feeling that we're connected in a way you know?" Her voice was barely a whisper, "-and..uh well, I like you. Maybe a lot, but, uh sorry I'm no good at this."

She knew her face was a hundred shades of red, but she just needed to get that out there. It wasn't easy for her to share her emotions, her eyes kind of glazed over, thankful he couldn't exactly see her face.

There was no way Orion could have missed the shiver that ran up Faye's spine. With his entire front pressed against her back, the shiver was pleasant vibrating sensation going up his torso as well. If Faye could have seen the knowing smirk on his face, she might have turned even more red than she already was. Unfortunately for her, Orion could see her face and he could read everything that was going through her head after he had kissed her neck. The poor girl was getting all flustered with her feelings while Orion was perfectly with expressing himself.

Looking back at their shared vase, it was coming along quite nicely. So at least his mentoring was actually helping Faye get the hang of molding clay on a pottery wheel. It was a simply shaped vase too, the kind with a rounded body and a slightly flaring top. For a first try, it looked like it was going to turn out well enough to be presentable.

"Hm?"

Orion almost missed Faye's next words. She was talking so quietly, and he was so focused on their vase, that he almost did not hear her whispers, her confession. There was only a moment of silence before she would feel Orion nuzzling her ear.

"You did well, Faye. You told me how you felt, and that's what matters... And I like you too."

He affectionately nipped at her ear.

"I'd show you how much I like you but, uh, my hands are a little busy at the moment."

Faye · Feb 25, 2015

She realized that she really did say her words quietly, but apparently Orion had heard them, and he didn't seem taken aback by them, perhaps he returns her feelings?

His next action let Faye know that he need, and his words confirmed her thoughts. She was relieved and smiled really big.

"That's really nice to hear," she said quietly again, but more so he could hear her this time.

She took notice how well their vase was turning out for a first time, it was nice sharing this with him, considering neither of them have done that before. Although Orion was much better than she was. Them he nipped at her ear, sending another shiver down her back, and sighed again. Wow she needed to stop, t she just couldn't help it. His presence kind of intoxicated her at this point.

Her face turned a variety of reds at his next comment, but was quick to respond, "oh, really? Maybe I wouldn't mind." She turned and pecked at his cheek rather quickly.

Then forgot about the workers and other customers, and smiled shyly, "perhaps another time?"

"Huhu~ I guess I gots me a frisky girl here, huh?"

Orion was keeping his voice down low as well because he knew as well as Faye that the two of them were having a bit of a moment together. The other people around them were already cooing over the young couple getting close over pottery like that one movie. They did not need to hear their little innuendos too, no matter how much that might make their situation even more like that movie, minus the supernatural elements.

Fay's kiss was well received and it prompted Orion to move her foot off the pedal with his own foot. As the wheel slowed to a stop, their finished vase showed itself. It was still a simple, elegant shape, but it stood on its own and just needed to dry. Holding his hands outward so he did not touch her shirt, Orion gave Faye a hug from behind using most of his arms.

"I dunno about you, but I'm hoping 'another time' is soon."

An employee made their presence known by clearing their throat. Orion looked up at them with an innocent-looking smile, but still hugging Faye. They offered to dry and heat the vase in-shop, for a price of course. It would need to be picked up tomorrow, but Orion agreed and they were directed to a sink where they could wash their hands.

Orion stayed by Faye's side closely as they got up and went to wash up.

"Why don't we get some paints and then head on out? I got *snicker* a neat little idea now~"

He gave her a kiss on the cheek to kind of clue her in on his idea.

Faye · Feb 25, 2015

Orion's comment made Faye blush.

"I wouldn't say that exactly, but assume as you like," she gave him a not so innocent grin.

Faye realized she hadn't been this happy in so long, and it shows clearly on her face. In fact she completely forgot why her mood had been so down in the first place. Orion moved her foot off the petal and their vase was finished. But that's not exactly why he had moved she guessed as his arms wrapped around Faye. She leaned back and relaxed into his hug. This was nice. He also smelled nice and that was for sure a bonus.

Heat rushed to her face again at his next comment. " I could agree with that."

Faye didn't notice anyone except the two of them until someone cleared their throat causing herself to jump. She was thankful they didn't have to way here for it to dry, that would have made her awfully impatient.

As they were washing their hands she replied quietly to Orion with a smile that lit up her eyes, "and what is this idea exactly?" The kiss on her cheek gave her a little hint, but in all honesty she was still a bit clueless.

She dried her hands, and then she simply couldn't help herself and hugged him whispering, "so this, uh idea of yours? When does it start?" She kissed his jaw and backed away with a grin on her face.

Critical · Feb 25, 2015

"No need to get impatient, hon~"

Of course he hugged her back. But when she pulled away he gently tapped her nose with his finger, coyly teasing her with his so-called "idea". It seemed now that their feelings were out in the open, they were getting more adventurous and open with their actions as well. Faye was certainly more touchy than she was before they made the vase, and Orion was enjoying it for sure.

"First we get the paints."

Orion was apparently in a bit of a hurry because he was quick to pick paints based on Faye's suggestions, and a small selection of brushes, before they were out of there with the employees wishing them a good day and reminding them to come back tomorrow for their vase. Art supply bag in one and Faye in the other, Orion started walking around the mall, looking for... something.

He was unwilling to say exactly where they were going or what he had in mind, except that he was looking for a certain shop. Even when they stopped at a map, he made a point to not actually indicate anything. He simply scanned it with his eyes until he found what he was looking for. After another minute or so of walking, Faye would find out what his idea was: a lingerie boutique.

"Here we are~"

Faye · Feb 25, 2015

Faye was quick to help him pick out paints, but that didn't mean she picked out random paints for the fun of it. She helped him as if she were getting her own paints just in a quicker manor than she typically would. She then realized he needed paintbrushes too, and helped with those as well.

Her brows furrowed in the middle, what on earth was this boy up to? Time would tell she guessed.

"You're being awfully secretive." She murmured. She said as they walked out the door.

She was no longer leading them to a shop so she let Orion drag her along, she could tell he was trying hard to find something, but what exactly? He looked on a map of the mall, and he clearly found his destination without giving anything away.

As they neared the shop she didn't look until Orion said the words "Here we are." Faye had nearly choked. A lingerie shop? What on Earth? This must have been part of his idea.

"Orion, I'm assuming this goes along with your idea...?" She motioned for him to go first, her face heating up. "You tell me what I need to do, with this idea of yours."
