"i dunno! i'm sure they can deal. huntr/x is usually busy with deals and promos.. but i don't think we've had any scheduled for a short while! i gotta talk with them.. and with mystery?"

clicking her tongue.

"just be prepared for me to answer the phone a lot, teehee."

"if you do, i promise i won't ever tour with you again!"

an empty threat, she could never mean that truthfully. yet, her face would scrunch, brows furrowing as she leans forward. a playfully accusing finger poking at thea's nose.

“a performance would prooobably (?) make it less obvious. act as if it’s more of a professional trip than a pseudo-vacation..”

she’d quickly steal another peck before tapping the other’s shoulder, a gesture to be let down to her feet. her legs would unfold around the blonde, feet anticipating - -

with keeping relationships discrete has been hit or miss, and I'm not looking to cause trouble. But it would be nice, you know. Having a proper date." Even if that meant caps and shades to make it a LITTLE less obvious that they were two of the most famous women on the planet holding hands.

“oh—! for sure, for sure. i’d love to visit! i’ve been meaning to for years, but all the idol work stopped me!”

nodding. head tilting down, forehead resting against her’s.

“at least this way i can disguise it as work!”

Dating in general as an idol, and she refused to get her new girlfriend in trouble with her antics.

That said... "It's funny you mentioned that. I wanted to ask. I'm going home to Unova for a week or two. I thought it might be nice to show you around my city. If you were up for that."

legs tightly wrapped around the woman’s waist, pulling away from the hug as her arms rest atop thea’s shoulders.

the infectious light in her eyes glowing in glee.

“oh, god. you really DO want to leave the tabloids theorizing!!” giggling, poking fun at the other before pressing a kiss - -

The Archer." After everything, it was best to not raise questions by bringing Zoey along for her album release press. But it did suck not having her around.

She kissed Zoey's cheek. "I missed you, too."

finishing her set, stretching down and touching her toes. eyebrows raising at the other star’s voice, she nearly immediately bounces up with joy. her sun-like smile radiating as she trots over.

“theaa!!!”

jumping off the ground and wrapping herself around her! mind the sweat..

𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒂 𝑺𝒘𝒊𝒇𝒕 @popstaraura.bsky.social · 7d

Thea got to the studio in her own low-key attire of sweats and a tank top. She wasn't sure if anyone would be in on a Sunday, so Zoey was a pleasant surprise. "It's nice to see you full of energy." After everything that happened, it was understandable that she went through a bit of a rut.

𝑲𝑵𝑶𝑪𝑲𝑰𝑵' 𝒀𝑶𝑼 𝑶𝑼𝑻 . @imagorambo.bsky.social · 7d

joggers and baggie hoodie on! currently doing jumping jacks in the studio, it’s been a while since she’s done some physical activity…

and she knows the label may not approve of her slacking.

“you better not…”

she says through sniffling. allowing herself to be vulnerable, just this once. she’s given that trust to thea.

zoey slowly and gently pulls away, teary eyes looking into her’s once again.

“wanna… wanna get some food?”

Zoey had been through so much. Thea felt it in the way her body trembled when she sobbed. The Popstar held her close, kissing her forehead. All she wanted in that moment was to protect and care for this wonderful woman. "I won't leave again. I won't hurt you again. I'm here, Zo. I promise."

swallowing, blinking twice. silently and quickly nodding. her eyes would stare into thea’s, almost like a small puppy alone and waiting for their owner’s return.

“i’m sure. i’m absolutely sure.”

she says after what felt like hours of silence. hesitating for a second before pulling the pop star -

𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒂 𝑺𝒘𝒊𝒇𝒕 @popstaraura.bsky.social · Aug 31

wrong?

Thea looked into Zoey's eyes, trying to read her. "You... want me? Are you sure? Zo, I just...' This was what she wanted, but did she deserve it? Her eyes were pleading for an answer.

hand slowly folding over, interlocking her fingers with the pop star’s.

“i want you.”

gaze softening as her eyes would turn to look into thea’s, mouth slightly agape at her touch. silent for a few seconds that would feel like minutes.

“i forgive you, thea. i want you here.. i really do.. i know it was just a mistake. i know it was. you don’t have to apologize for something -

𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒂 𝑺𝒘𝒊𝒇𝒕 @popstaraura.bsky.social · Aug 26

Again. I thought I was being kind by giving you space away from me. But I shouldn't be telling you what's good for you. That's not fair."

She held the hand on Zoey's arm, seeing her nerves. "I'm sorry for what I put you through. But I'd love to still be in your life if you really do want me here."

“i’m.. sorry.

i thought about what you said while we were there. about me needing to feel… at least a little upset with you.

i just— can’t, though.”

her smile would soon fall, shoulders tensing as a hand raises to rub at her other arm. shame.

“i can’t bring myself to believe that-

𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒂 𝑺𝒘𝒊𝒇𝒕 @popstaraura.bsky.social · Aug 25

The smile was returned. For the first time in weeks, the air didn't feel so heavy between them. "I've had a lot on my mind. And we didn't exactly clear the air on the island. That feels like my fault," she admitted.

"I'm glad that I'm staying. And I'm glad that you're glad that I'm staying."

𝑲𝑵𝑶𝑪𝑲𝑰𝑵' 𝒀𝑶𝑼 𝑶𝑼𝑻 . @imagorambo.bsky.social · Aug 25

“so, you’re getting your own place? why didn’t you tell me? i could’ve helped find a good spot.. and get a pretty little discount too!”

she’d smile. genuinely.

“that’s.. a bit of a relief.”
