So, one day I was surfing the wedinator and I stumbled upon a photo of this crazy gold suit that was shown at some fashion show. My first thought was “WHO would wear something like that???!”
My next thought was “Vahaadi. Vahaadi would wear that.”
And he would ROCK it.
P.S. I love the way Spark is touching his hair and chest and asking about going dancing. XD She is so flirty without even meaning to be.
Honestly you made the suit look nice but the real one looks like it is made of tin foil. Outrageous! And yes, Spark is super flirty but only around flirty people. She doesn’t understand the implications of flirting, only that people who do it are more wiggly and close and playful and she likes all those things. So since Vahaadi is a flirty person, she just does her own thing to match.
And Vahaadi loves it. 😉 the only thing I worry about is that Vahaadi pretty easily gets confused, and I think he frequently wonders if Spark wants to be more than friends. But when he gets a little too touchy, she wiggles away from him. So the poor guy is like “what is going on here?” Not that he urgently wants to be romantically involved with Spark, but he’s used to being told explicitly what is wanted of him. Spark just wants him to be himself (or her idealized version of himself, anyway) but he’s so used to pleasing people that he tries to become what they want. With Spark I think most of the time he’s secure in thinking she wants a dashing playmate, but he’s not used to his relationships staying “just friends” for very long. So he steals kisses and lets his touch linger a little too long and she giggles and cuddle closer and suddenly he’s confused. Maybe she does want a lover. He wraps his arms around her and starts to intimately kiss her neck and purr but then she pipes something about how they should go put mentos in coke to see them blow up! And then she’s off and he’s left in a sort of bewilderment. But he smiles because he loves her and he doesn’t need that kind of relationship with her anyway, so maybe he’s glad she ran off. It keeps things interesting and refreshingly innocent, even if it does confuse him.
Poor thing XD The truth is that romance is a language Spark doesn’t understand. So she likes cuddling and kissing him and being in each other’s bubbles out of a good natured possessiveness. But when it turns romantic it is like someone changed the channel and suddenly everything is in a different language. (“it’s all Greek to me!”) The same way after a bit people tune out a language they don’t understand Spark’s brain tunes out when Vahaadi’s motions get too intimate, her mind wanders, and suddenly COKE AND MENTOS ARE YOU IN OR WHAT!?
Occasionally something will register and she sort of understands what his touches imply but it strikes her as being hilariously absurd so she just sort of raises an eyebrow and then bursts out laughing. Whatever Vahaadi was going for would be impossible for her to even feign reciprocating and I think she cracks up at the thought of trying to be ‘lovey dovey.’ She knows she would fail miserably. So she just slides out of his grasp like “What are you doing, you silly? You’re so weird…” ((Very Simba-esque)) She chalks it up to the fact Vahaadi is very dramatic and is also quite the charmer and assumes he just got caught up in the moment, never knowing he was just trying to do what he thought she wanted! She has no idea her actions come across that way.
Spark also (even in Secrets) will forever have this sort of internal shyness/awe buried deep in her heart around Vahaadi that makes her always want to please him too. No matter how low he sinks morally that doesn’t change the fact in her mind Vahaadi is just intrinsically cool. The fact that he lavishes so much attention on her makes her feel like she needs to earn it. Lopsided though it may be, and very confusing for him, it’s as mutual a relationship as she is capable of.
Oh my gosh LC taught me a word yesterday that reminds me of this–Spark and Vahaadi are in a “flirtationship” XD!
Ha ha! very true. I’d never heard that term before but it is perfect.
