Micah: *Tries on Perception filter and walks around as his 15year old self*
Elena: *super blink, wide eyes* ...Micah?
Micah: *Touches her cheek* Hey, E.
Elena: I- You- ...How? *leans into it, frowning, confused*
Micah: *Taps his side* The filter. *worried* You still like me like this?
Elena: Yeah, no, it's good, just...y'know. Different. *touches his face* It's... *just smiles*
Micah: *holds her hand* It's still me... this is how I should look right now.
Elena: It's so...you look... ...You're so much older than you're supposed to be. Why can't you just stay like this?
Micah: Because... I can't. I don't think. *Pauses* I.... have responsibilities. Work.
Elena: You can still meet those responsibilities and be you. Be...this. *lifts his hand to her lips so she can kiss it*
Micah: I...I like being an adult. *scrunches eyes closed* Except... not able to be with you, the way you want. The way we want.
Elena: *whispers* We can, you know. It's not...that much. *moves closer* We can...Micah, we could try. It can't hurt to try.
Micah: You think people would be okay with us? Me as an adult and all.
Elena: I- Yeah, I do. You're not that much older, Micah. *softly, carefully, lacing her fingers with his*
Micah: *Pulls her into a hug, odd that they are about the same height now.* We can try and I'll take any heat that comes.
Elena: *smiles, arms sliding around him now* Really?
Micah: *nuzzles his nose to hers* Really.
Elena: *grins, throws her arms around him, hugging him tight* Oh...Micah, this will be amazing. Thank you for giving me- US a chance.
