Pearl chuckled softly, a infectious sound for the lovesick Nico, and ran her fingers through Nico’s hair affectionately.
“You think too much sometimes,” she observed, still giggling. “You’re fine. I’m good at swimming. You’re good at close up magic. The judges don’t need to know the details of any powers we may or may not have.”
Nico bit her lip. “I suppose not…”
Pearl’s hand travelled down to under Nico’s chin, pushing up her face and leaning in for a kiss.
“I love you, Nico. Break a leg.”
Nico’s blushed deeply, to embarassed to argue further.
