big brother she's never had ;w;

[prismbloom]

The cafe, the one we both like.

[ The one that's starting to become Their Spot? Yeah. ]

he loves you too okay

[icarusalsoflew]

All right. How soon do you want me over?

[ Because he'll be over there in like... five minutes, if he has to be. ]

[prismbloom]

As soon as you can. I don't want to inconvenience you.

[icarusalsoflew]

You could never do that.

See you in thirty?

[ He'd say fifteen (or ten, or five), but... yeah. Thirty seems less HOLY CRAP WHO DO I DISMANTLE and more "all right, I've got you". ]

[prismbloom]

[ Hikaru, find your chill. ]

That works for me. I'll see you soon.

[icarusalsoflew]

[ No, never. It's you. so.

...Anyway, he is arriving at your spot and coming over to the table that the both of you always get in thirty minutes, on the dot.

To his credit, some of that concern has been replaced by curiosity. Some. ]

Hey.

[prismbloom]

[ Ah, she spots that concern a mile away. Aqua gives him a smile, though it's a bit sheepish. ]

I hope I didn't worry you too much.

[icarusalsoflew]

Treat me out tonight, and I'll consider forgiving you.

[ He's only half-joking. ]

What's up?

[ ...Yeah he'd normally sit across of you, but now he's plunking down within arm's reach. ]

[prismbloom]

[ A little laugh as she nods. ]

Consider it done.

[ Aqua nearly leans against him, just a little bit, but she refrains. ]

Lightning and I... something happened. Between us.

[icarusalsoflew]

[ No u don't. He catches that, and preempts by wrapping an arm around your shoulders. ]

Define "something".

[prismbloom]

[ And she goes ahead and leans against you, relaxing into the touch. ]

Well... we kissed. [ Clearing her throat. ] Quite a bit.

[ "Quite a bit" meaning she has a red mark, right on her neck. There's also a necklace there, a lightning bolt, that she hadn't had previously. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[ Yyyyep, noting that down. TO HIS CREDIT HE IS NOT STARING just. Yep. Noted. ]

I noticed.

[ Heh. ]

I'd ask you if you're sure that's all you did, but I would like to trust your judgment...

[prismbloom]

[ Her hand goes right to her neck, and there's that sheepishness again. ]

I guess it really is obvious.

[ Clearly she'll have to invest in a scarf. ]

Are you suggesting we-- [ ahem. ] --on the first date?

[icarusalsoflew]

Honestly, I'm not suggesting anything. It's really up to you guys to determine your own pace.

[ Grinning now. ]

I'm happy for you.

[ Especially since, y'know, he thought you got molested or hurt or something. THIS IS MUCH BETTER. ]

[prismbloom]

[ SORRY BRO, SHE'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU FOR YEARS. ]

We're sort of fumbling about it--it's new, for both of us.

[ The smile that forms is a warm one, full of affection. ]

Thank you. I'm happy, too. Incredibly.

[icarusalsoflew]

Everyone fumbles through a relationship with each other. Even the best of us.

[ Chin to hand now. Yes.

You may vaguely feel like a curious cat is peering at you now, all "ouo". ]

So tell me how it happened?

[prismbloom]

Even you, then?

[ Nudging with a little smile. ]

Ah. Well. She asked me out, during the festival. We played games, and she won a few prizes for me. [ Like the necklace around her neck, which she touches lightly. ] We were going to go on a ride, but... I felt there was something she was keeping from me. I pulled her away, to a quieter place. We talked... and then we kissed. [ That blush again. ] For quite a while.

[icarusalsoflew]

[ U guys are the cutest, that is what he is thinking right now. ]

How romantic. [ Chuckling. ] Can't say that I didn't see it coming, though.

[prismbloom]

[ Ah, now that's a surprise. ]

You-- really?

[icarusalsoflew]

The two of you have been moving differently around each other for a bit now. There's also the fact that she stepped up pretty quick to do something nice for you for your birthday.

[prismbloom]

Moving differently? [ She hadn't noticed. ] Was it really that quickly? I thought at the time it was just doing something kind for a friend.

[icarusalsoflew]

That's one of the ways that it begins. Take it from me.

[ Best friends to "we're getting married", in the house. ]

[prismbloom]

I take it you're speaking from experience, then.

[ Which honestly gives her a good feeling--not that she didn't have one before. Hikaru and Josh are so wonderful together, after all. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

Yeah. Honestly, it's the story of my life when it comes to the people that I end up with.

[ Right down to this one. ]

[prismbloom]

[ Noting the plural. ]

Then it's safe to say I'm very optimistic.
