[prismbloom]

Hikaru?

Something happened at the festival last night.

1/hold on

[icarusalsoflew]

[ .............................................. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[ Is she okay? She's okay enough to be texting but given her background that isn't a very reliable measuring stick.

Who does he need to kill? He's got some contacts, he's got some "friends" --

-- oh fuck them, he could do it himself. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[ Right.

Okay.

Just breathe, Shinta.

Maybe you're jumping to conclusions here. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[ asdgh;lhsadg -- ]

okay he's done.

[icarusalsoflew]

What happened? Want me to call?

squishes his cheeks ahfhdfhdhf 1/2

[prismbloom]

Nothing bad happened, I promise.

[ She realizes now that her initial text sounded a bit... worrisome. ]

Lightning and I

[prismbloom]

Maybe it would be best if we did meet up.

8T!!!

[icarusalsoflew]

[ "Lightning and I".

Oh.

Well.

All right then. ]

Sure. Where?

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To his credit, some of that concern has been replaced by curiosity.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