The After Effects - tags River

[River Tseung]

River giggled at the peck. "Okie dokie! I believe in you." He grinned cheekily back at her, hoping she would.

That sounded pretty good to him. Growing up was scary. At least he had one more year at Hammel.... Then he had no idea what he would do, besides hopefully get into college and find someplace to live. It couldn't be too hard, right? A ton of people did it. He'd figure out his way, he just didn't want to lose his childlike appreciation of everything in the world.

Of course he would agree with her, because it was true. Sammy was amazing, simple as that. He may be a nice guy, but he always meant what he said!

He laughed at the unexpected tackle and hugged her close, happy that she was so enthusiastic about it. That meant a lot to him, and made him a little less nervous about the whole diving-into-love thing.

"Yeah, it is," he sighed happily in agreement, staring up at the top of the tent. He couldn't be more content.

((Wrap?))

[Sammy Wilder]

Proud of herself for making River agree, Sammy wriggled in her lying position and grinned widely.

Growing up really did sound scary and for Sammy, even so. Especially due to her erratic abilities. She could seriously endanger somebody! She felt as though it would be far better for her to stay here within the warm cocoon of daily training and suppression where she had nobody to hurt but herself.

She was glad he had already told Mia about his feelings and she was his number one supporter so far. Simply because these days, nobody was brave enough to take that leap - especially her - when it came to the matters of the heart. She found that rather discouraging because love was such a beautiful thing to fall into. Although, she did try to justify the fact that she knew Callie had somebody already so her telling the other blonde would cause more damage than anything.

Sammy smiled softly at the happy sigh and like River, she smiled in the general upwards direction before her eyes fluttered close. What a way to end a perfect night with an amazing friend.
