Lol, “cheesy and dumb”.
But it works every time because Juls is ridiculously in love with her dork.
The cutest thing is, Val does it deliberately to lighten the mood and get a laugh from her girl.
Juls, though, Juls is so much reluctant to put herself out there. She does it when she’s super confident. Say…after their first time?
Or after saying she needed space, Val being the one to come to her and tell her she didn’t mean it, demonstrating so clearly that she’s actually still so into her.
And her purpose is different, as is the end result, Val is so affected in a totally different way, lol. In those moments, the cute thing is that while Juls is definitely not looking to lighten the mood–rather the opposite–they enjoy the banter and flirting so much there’s still this joy that shines through.
