[ CLOSED ] clever title

[golden_gaytime]

Characters: Akira (drinkswithminors) and Mugi (golden_gaytime)
Date: Time is a manmade construct
Summary: Date night! Because nightmares are for other people
Warnings: Dat Satou Swagger?

[ To say that Mugi was excited when Akira just up and asked her out for dinner would be an understatement. The young girl had been slowly coming to grips with the reality of this reality that she had not quite been the picture of the bubbly, musical, sometimes-romance-obsessed girl that she had been upon arrival.

Perhaps this would be a good revival of that.

There had been but once question: "What do you want to do? We'll go wherever you want."

The answer might not have been quite what was expected: "I wish to visit the highest point we can find!"

What better place to hold a quiet picnic for two than atop the ledge of a giant freaking clock tower? Nowhere, that's where. ] Ah, it's so breezy up here! [ Perhaps her skirt shouldn't have been so flowy, but she did want to look nice for tonight. At least her hair is up and tied enough to not get in her eyes too much, and things did seem to be calming down as the sun continued to set in the distance. ]

-Akira popped in another grape, nodding in agreement.- You can see almost the entire realm from here. Wow...

-It was beautiful. All of it. It completely overwhelmed the eyes. Had she known it would be such a sight to behold, she would have come up much sooner, but... Maybe it was worth the wait just to see it with Mugi.-

I know it'll be my turn to pick a place next time, but I hope you don't hold it against me if we head back up here. Whoa...

[golden_gaytime]

It's very lovely. [ The view, the company, everything. A welcome event amidst the uncertainties. ] I would not mind, Akira-kun. In fact, I would enjoy it very much! [ She turned her face to the woman and smiled. ]

It's honestly more thrilling than I expected. [ Feet dangling over the edge and all. ] I would have expect guard rails of some kind...

[drinkswithminors]

Well, I should hope you don't fall off. That'd be kind of a bummer end to the date.

[golden_gaytime]

[ Mugi giggled. ] It would, wouldn't it? I don't want you to worry too much. [ Mugi scoota away from the edge, closer to Akira, and tuck her legs under her. ] Is that better?

[drinkswithminors]

Hmm... How about right here? -Akira was quick to wrap an arm about Mugi, pulling her into her lap and nuzzling against her shoulder.- This way, if we fall, it'll be both of us.

[golden_gaytime]

[ There is a tiny sound of surprise when it happens, as the move stuns her to brief silence otherwise. ] —let's not fall. I've already tried to fly before, and found out that I could not!

[drinkswithminors]

You got it, babe. -Akira chuckled, settling her chin on Mugi's shoulder.-

[golden_gaytime]

[ Pleased, Mugi once again looks out over the land. ] Even though the ship flew much higher than this, I think I like the view better from here. It's much more comfortable.

[drinkswithminors]

Comfortable because it's closer to the ground, or because you're in my lap?

[golden_gaytime]

Both! [ If she wasn't blushing before, she certainly is by now. ] I admit not having a chain around my ankle helps a lot with it, as well.

[drinkswithminors]

-... Maybe still a bit morbid for Akira, with the way she tightens her embrace silently.-

[golden_gaytime]

[ She hadn't meant for it to be but a bit of light humor concerning her past situation. It appears she did not expect Akira to still be that sensitive about the incident.

Mugi brings her hands down gently onto the woman's own arms in what is hopefully a comforting, wordless gesture. ]

[drinkswithminors]

Nn... It's alright...

-She needed to get over it. Mugi was safe. And she was there in Akira's arms and oh so warm and beautiful...-

We should finish our food.

[golden_gaytime]

[ Her hands, to note, are particularly warm! She smiles and nods. ] Yes, we should. [ Those hands are free to grab a fork and skewer a fresh piece of fruit, which she levels a couple of inches in front of Akira's mouth. ] Say 'ah'!

[drinkswithminors]

-Akira couldn't help a giggle.- You are too cute... -And opens her mouth.- Ahh~

[golden_gaytime]

[ Now she looks quite pleased with that, smiling as she feeds Akira the piece. ] It was natural, since your hands are full.

[drinkswithminors]

You're gonna spoil me, yanno. -Akira chuckled, eating the fruit happily while leaning back in to nuzzle against Mugi's cheek.-

[golden_gaytime]

[ She'll keep that up until Akira wants her to stop, though she also takes bites here and there of fruit for herself, a hand coming up to cover her mouth as she chews. ] If I did any less, you wouldn't be eating.

[drinkswithminors]

I dunno. Between you and Kazumi, I should start watching my weight.

[golden_gaytime]

I'll just have Kazumi-chan teach me to make healthier things. [ The best answer, clearly. ]

[drinkswithminors]

Hey, I wasn't complaining. With you, it's sweets all day, food or not, anyways. -D'aww.-

[golden_gaytime]

You're the one who is being too sweet, Akira-kun. [ And not helping that blush go away anytime soon. ] I am glad that you are enjoying yourself!

[drinkswithminors]

I think we both needed this, with everyone going nuts out there...

[golden_gaytime]

[ She nods. ] I agree. I know what it was like to feel completely restless and uncertain but... I don't feel that way anymore. [ Of course she thought "going nuts" was a hyperbole. ]

[drinkswithminors]

Well I'm glad to know I have such a calming effect.
