Kimi's Wonderland

RP blog for PJSK OC and sub-leader of Lost in the Looking-Glass, Suzuki Kimi. Blog is run by @low-battery-mode-jay.

[suzuki-kimi]

Good afternoon. My name is Suzuki Kimi. It's a pleasure to meet you.

I am 17 years old as of July 14, and I alternate between using she, they, and it pronouns. Please feel free to ask me whatever pronouns I'd prefer to use on any specific day.

I will admit, I most likely won't be very active on this blog. I understand you all have questions, but I have a lot of school work to work on. I will do my best to answer any questions you may have, but you'll see more activity from my unit mates than me.

That is all for now. Good-bye.

Suki felt so, so lucky.

She had been expecting her confession to go.. awkwardly, at the very least, but it ended up going very well! She had a partner now! She had Kimi!

Though, now she had a ton of things to think about. And she knew Kimi probably had some things to think about too. She figured a first date could help with that, and plus, who wouldn't want to go on a date with someone as cute as Kimi?

She thought about it for a while, and eventually decided a picnic would be good. It was chill, and it would be just the two of them! Suki prided herself on the idea before shooting Kimi a quick text.

<Hey hey! When are you free for a date? I'm thinking a picnic would be nice, but I'm open for ideas. Plus we could talk about things. Nothing bad of course, I just want to dig in your brain a bit. Let me know ☆ Love ya!>

- Hashimoto Suki 💄 (@firedupp)

Just like Suki, Kimi was also rather surprised that the confession went the way that it did. Even if she still didn't understand much of what it meant to have a partner or dates or anything of similar meaning, she wasn't going to complain. Especially when she had Suki to help her.

Speaking of which, Kimi had simply been reading on her bed when Suki had texted. They put their book down beside them, reading over the text. A faint warmth spread across their cheeks and they felt their heart beat faster, but they knew what it meant now. And it wasn't as worrisome of a feeling as before.

Right. When was it free for a picnic? It briefly closed the messaging app, scrolling over to its calendar before reading over its schedule. It was actually free that afternoon, surprisingly! Now, to text Suki. . .

<I am free this afternoon, if that works with you. And don't worry, I understood what you meant. I am also curious about a few things, and would enjoy talking to you about them. Love you, too. ❤️>

[firedupp]

Suki read the words on her screen and immediately grinned, giggling to herself as she started typing back.

<That works! Yay! See you soon!>

Suki sits up and starts getting ready, putting her hair up into a side pony and securing it with a bow. She worked quickly on her makeup. Then, once the right time came, she practically ran out the door, bringing a bag of strawberry sandwiches and some other snacks. The blanket she brought was basically shoved in.

When she makes it there, she lays the blanket down on the grass and simply waits for Kimi, fidgeting a bit with her legs.

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi smiles at the text, before getting up and rummaging through her outfits. She wanted to find something nice, especially since this was technically their first date. . . But what to wear, what to wear?

They eventually decide on a simple white polka-dot dress, red cardigan, white socks, and brown shoes, happily examining the look in the mirror. It wasn't the fanciest look they've ever worn, but they felt cute.

It just hoped Suki thought so, too. . .

After applying just a little bit of eye shadow and a faint pink lip, she grabs some simple fruit teas and water, putting them into a bag before heading to the park. She made it after some time, looking around for Suki. She spots her after some time, sitting down next to her and gently tapping her shoulder.

Hello, my rose. It is good to see you. They smile, smoothing out their dress as they sit. Do. . . Do you like my dress? I spent a lot of time picking it out for today.

[firedupp]

Suki glanced over as she was tapped, eyes widening at the sight of Kimi. She broke out into a huge grin, hugging them without even thinking about it.. she then pulled away immediately.

Eek, sorry! You just look so cute today. Of course I like your dress~ It looks so good on you! Anyway, I'm really glad you could come. Here!

She scrambles through her bag, opening a container and handing Kimi a sandwich and a napkin. Your makeup is looking really good, too. I hope you like the food. I brought other things just in case, though.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi briefly flinches at the hug, a little unsure of what to do. However, as Suki starts pulling away, she pulls her back in for a brief (albeit stiff) hug of her own. She parts from her after a second, her usual small smile on her face.

It's alright, my rose. And thank you. I wanted to look my best for today. Especially since this is our first date. They fall silent as Suki starts going through the bag, their eyes in that doll-like stare before they're offered the sandwich.

Thank you again. I know it's not much, but I wished to attempt something. It takes the sandwich and napkin, placing it on it's lap before pulling it's bag over. And I like this, but thank you for offering something different. And here. It opens the bag, showing off the drinks it brought. Feel free to grab what you like.

[firedupp]

Suki was a little thrown off by the hug and noticed the stiffness, but she appreciated it anyway. She just pat its back before leaning back.

Hehe, you look great. I'll glad you wanted to dress up and whatnot~ Just know I find you very cute, dressed up or not. But, if it's what you want to do, then who am I to stop you?

She nods, looking at the different drinks and grabbing some random fruit tea. Ah, this is what I forgot! You're my total lifesaver, Kimi, thank you~

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Thank you, my rose. For both the compliments on my outfit and the cute comment. Although, yes, it is something I enjoy doing. Makes me feel. . . Nice. If that makes sense. Especially in outfits like this.

Kimi smiles as Suki takes a tea, placing bag back next to her once she was done. You're welcome, my rose. I didn't know if you had brought any, but I wanted to make sure I brought something. If not because it was needed, just to make sure I brought something.

After snacking on their sandwich, Kimi folds their hands on their lap, looking over at Suki with a confused doll stare. Now, you said you wished to speak? 'Dig in my brain a bit', as you said?

[firedupp]

Yeah, makes perfect sense! You don't gotta elaborate, ya know. If it makes you happy, just do it. But yeah, I get it, don't worry. That's why I dress up most of the time too!

Suki takes a sip of her tea with a hum. Ah, I see. Don't worry about needing to bring things, silly. It's not an obligation or anything. But thank you for them, they taste really good!

She perks up, adjusting how she was seated. Yes! Okay, hmm.. I just wanted to talk about, like, preferences and stuff. Boundaries, what you're okay with and what not. 'Cause I never ever wanna make my doll uncomfortable.. I want you to actually like being around me.

Suki chuckles. I know you're more adverse to physical touch, but do you know what you do like? Acts of service, words of affirmation.. honesty, doesn't even need to be a love language. And I also know you're more inexperienced, so it's okay if you don't know. And I also don't say that to be mean, sorry..

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi smiles a small smile, taking a sip of the berry tea she had grabbed from her bag. Well, I'm glad it made sense. And thank you. That, and you look beautiful today, my rose.

I also know it's not an obligation, but I wanted to. Especially because these are some of my favorite teas. And you're welcome. If I were to make a recommendation, I'd take the berry tea I have currently. It's been my favorite since I was small.

It listens as Suki explains what she wanted to talk about, taking another little sip of it's tea. Yes, that makes sense. Especially since we just started dating. These kinds of things are important. The sentiment is also quite appreciated.

Although, I wouldn't say I'm. . . Adverse to physical touch. As they say that, they lean onto Suki's shoulder. I don't always like it from strangers, but it's you. I don't mind touch, so long as you at least ask first. That and. . . Yea, I don't know what love languages I like or what mine are. And I know you weren't being mean when mentioning my lack of experience. Especially when it's a true fact.

[firedupp]

Aw~ Thank you very much, doll! You as well! Suki took a look at the berry tea and set it beside her. I'll have to try that later. Should've waited for your suggestion, ehe.. I just took the red one. Take a wild guess at what my favorite color is.

She looks at Kimi, relaxing her shoulders so it was more comfortable. Ah, right, I remember. I'll be sure to remember that. And, again, it's okay if you don't really know. I'm still kinda exploring that too. Um.. let's see.. is there anything you read about that kinda pops out at you? Makes you react in a good way? Or would me just talking about what I like be better?

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi flushes at Suki's compliments, simply moving so she could sit in her lap and still keep her head on the other's shoulder. It's alright. I didn't speak up immediately, and I figured you'd find something you like. As for the red one, though. . . I'm not sure which one it is exactly, but I know I have a pomegranate, strawberry, and raspberry tea in the bag. Is it any of those?

I have read some things since we last met. But, it's all rather. . . Confusing. It admitted, leaning onto Suki's shoulder more and hiding it's face in her neck. Although, perhaps hearing you talk about it might help me understand. So. . . Please do share what you like. Please.

[firedupp]

Ah, it's probably the pomegranate! It's really yummy~ Suki adjusts herself so Kimi could be more comfortable, holding their waist close. And, yeah.. it can be. I'll talk! Ahem!

She thinks about it for a moment. I like it when my partners offer to do things that I hate. Obviously I know that I need to do things I don't like! But hearing that my partner did it for me, especially on days where I feel like a walking zombie, it's like, totally sweet! Like, for example, I really hate washing dishes, it just makes me wanna gag. And my hands get all dry afterwards somehow, it really sucks! So if I'm having a rough day and I hear that somebody already did it, I'm literally jumping for joy.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

I'll keep that in mind for the future, then. Kimi replies with a hum, comfortably resting on Suki's lap. She stays quiet after speaking, simply listening to her partner speak.

I understand that. We all have our low days, and hearing someone helped us with something we tend to not like? It's. . . Nice. I'll be sure to keep that in mind. They fall quiet again, thinking on something. I think. . . I think I like that. That, and I also like when someone is patient with me. It's something simple and expected usually, I know, but with my emotions and thoughts, its nice to have someone who takes time to ask about them. And be patient when I attempt to explain, even if it's not the clearest.

[firedupp]

Suki takes her turn to listen, nodding. She was glad they were on the same page. Ah, yeah, I get that too. Sometimes I make no sense and people get mad at me when I'm just trying to talk, ya know? Plus, I like knowing how you're feeling, even if it takes a while. So don't worry about that.

She stretches her arms. Soo.. how about dates? Where do you like to hang out? Restaurants, malls.. whatever..

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

I understand, yes. Especially since I deal with that problem often myself. . . Kimi mumbles, reaching up and twirling a strand of Suki's hair around one of her fingers. Although, it makes me happy hearing you'd be patient with me. So, thank you for that.

As for dates. . . Well, I much prefer things like this. Simple picnics, walks in the park, libraries and bookstores, quiet cafés. However, I can see how that would be. . . Boring to some. Especially in such a high-energy world like the one we live in. But, what about you?

[firedupp]

You're welcome! Again, I want to know how you're feeling. I wanna know if I'm doing something wrong.. or right, too, hehe. Suki tilts her head slightly, letting Kimi play with it some more. I wanna know what's in that pretty head of yours.

She nods. She figured Kimi would be into that kind of thing. Ah, that's so you! I can handle that. I'm a pretty high energy person, so I like going to places like clubs, but doing that for a date just.. seems too overwhelming and public, ya know? But we could totally do some karaoke at a bar or something. Or, again, one of those. I like the idea of a more quiet thing like that.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi flushes at the pretty compliment, one of her usual shy smiles stretching onto her face. That sentiment is appreciated, my rose. Quite a lot, in fact. She responds, letting her hand comb and twirl through Suki's hair when she leans her head down.

Yes, I can see why that seems to be, as you say, 'so me'. Just as how I can associate you with high-energy places. But, yes, I would prefer to avoid clubs for dates. Just as you said, it can be overwhelming and public, and I'm not too fond of all the noise that comes with it. I wouldn't mind karaoke, though, in-between some of the quieter dates. At least, depending on how much energy I have on a certain day.

[firedupp]

You're welcome. It just makes sense to me, really. Suki shrugs, but not too much so she doesn't disturb Kimi. And don't worry if you don't have a lot of energy, I don't mind changing plans if needed. I know it's totally crazy to think about, but sometimes I'm super drained and just need to crash. So I get the feeling. Just let me know how you're feeling and I'll plan accordingly!

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

I can imagine it. Especially with all the shows you do. At least, based on what you told me. That, and your unitmates sound. . . Energetic, to say the least. Kimi speaks playfully, no hint of malice behind her words. But, yes, I will be sure to let you know when I'm having one of my low-energy days so I don't end up spoiling any plans. Promise. She briefly moved to take a sip of her tea, but was soon back to playing with Suki's hair, humming in content.

[firedupp]

Oh they are. Suki laughs. We're called F!RED UP! for a reason. That's a joke, but- still. We're a very energetic group. Besides Ayaka and- ahem. Yeah. Ayaka.

Eijirou was definitely less energetic too, but she didn't want to just accidentally rat Daisuke out.. Ayaka's getting better at keeping up with us, but she's naturally pretty shy and whatnot. I call her Shrimpy sometimes. But, anyway, yeah, I'm usually good at handling the energy but sometimes I just need to chill out.

Hey, you wouldn't spoil anything. We can just adjust. But thank you for that. Suki takes a sip of her tea as well. I'll do the same. Telling you if I'm feeling off, anyway.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi quietly laughs along, still occasionally playing with some of Suki's hair. That, and occasionally letting her nails gently scratch across her partner's scalp.

I think you've told me about her. She definitely sounds like she's improving, which I'm happy to hear for all of you. Although, I will admit I'm a bit confused by the 'shrimpy' nickname.

Good to know. And I would most certainly appreciate that. I would hate to make you feel bad on an already bad day, especially when you've done so much for me.

[firedupp]

Mhm, she is! We all are, honestly. Team effort, right? And I call her Shrimpy because of the way she makes herself appear smaller sometimes, like curling in on herself. It's all teasing.

Suki shuts her eyes briefly as she feels Kimi's nails on her scalp, humming quietly. I think that'd be hard for you to do, but I'll tell you anyway. And, c'mon, I haven't done that much~ Inflating my ego here!

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Yes, I suppose. I could also say that for my group mates, especially with how much they say that I'm improving. Especially Arthur. And understood. Kei often teases too, but I understand it's not meant to be harsh.

Upon Suki's reaction to it, Kimi stops simply playing with her hair, moving it's nails to scratch at her scalp some more. It's appreciated. And shush. You've done more than I can ask for, especially with my communication issues.

[firedupp]

Hehe, I'd say you're improving, too. Even though I'm not in your group, ehe. I can just feel it in my bones. Trust me.

Suki grins, sneaking a small kiss on Kimi's cheek. Yeah, yeah, whatever ya say, silly. Anyways, back to what we were talking about.. um.. I mean, is there anything you're, like, worried about, besides what we just said? I'm having trouble thinking of any other things that need to be addressed..

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Well, thank you, my rose. It's certainly nice to hear, especially from someone I consider myself close to like yourself. Don't worry, I trust you.

Kimi's cheeks go red at the kiss, but she barely reacts outside of that, continuing to scratch at Suki's scalp. Outside of getting better at communicating my emotions on my behalf, which is something I can work on, I don't think so. I think we've covered most everything. Unless anything else is on your mind. She also sneaks Suki a kiss after she speaks, this one being on the bottom of her jawbone.

[firedupp]

Suki giggled at the kiss, thinking about the question. Well, not really. If I think of something, it's not like I can't text you or anything. And don't worry too much about that, hopefully I can try to help you with that sort of thing. Plus, I'm not entirely amazing at everything people-wise either. I can be a bit hot-headed and impulsive.. so I guess we both have things to work on.

She shakes her head, biting her sandwich and washing it down with some of her tea. But I'm glad we talked about it and are on the same page. Sorry if this was awkward or anything, I just like knowing things. And I think it's important!

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

That is true. And I can text you if I think of anything. That, and while yes you can be a bit impulsive, I'd be happy to help you as well. Where I can, of course. So, perhaps we can help each other.

Trust me, I'm glad we talked about it as well. I didn't find it awkward, but I can understand how others might. However, it's good for relationships to understand these boundaries and likes, I think. Just as you said, it's important.

They pick up another sandwich, idly munching on it before glancing at their phone and frowning slightly. I got to get back home soon. . . My group has rehearsal tonight. . . But, I'm still glad we could do this. They gently peck Suki on the lips before collecting their stuff, turning back to her. Care to walk me home? Like last time?

[firedupp]

Yeah, maybe.. but we shouldn't entirely depend on each other either. I love you lots, but we are our own people too, ya know?

Suki reciprocates the kiss before taking a bite of her own, frowning slightly as well. Aw, yeah, mine too. Reo's supposedly been working on some new music, so I'm pretty excited to listen to it, see what the vibe is.

She collects the things she brought too, standing up and stuffing the blanket in her basket. Hell yeah! Lead the way~

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Right. Of course. Apologies, I didn't mean to insinuate that we were not. . . That was my bad. . . I'll be sure to keep it in mind, though. And I love you, too.

Well, that will most certainly be interesting. I believe Arthur set up this one to keep our skills sharp, but I wouldn't be surprised if he also did it because he's already looking at haunted attractions hiring people for this Halloween. He always works haunted attractions around that time of year.

Kimi smiles at Suki's enthusiasm, taking her hand in one of it's own before leading her back to it's house. Just as before, it wasn't that far of a walk, and they made it before too late. It turns back to her, a small smile on it's face. Text me whenever you get home, okay? I love you, my rose.

[suzuki-kimi]

Suki felt so, so lucky.

She had been expecting her confession to go.. awkwardly, at the very least, but it ended up going very well! She had a partner now! She had Kimi!

They fall quiet again, thinking on something. I think. . . I think I like that. That, and I also like when someone is patient with me. It's something simple and expected usually, I know, but with my emotions and thoughts, its nice to have someone who takes time to ask about them. And be patient when I attempt to explain, even if it's not the clearest.

[firedupp]

Suki takes her turn to listen, nodding. She was glad they were on the same page. Ah, yeah, I get that too. Sometimes I make no sense and people get mad at me when I'm just trying to talk, ya know? Plus, I like knowing how you're feeling, even if it takes a while. So don't worry about that.

She stretches her arms. Soo.. how about dates? Where do you like to hang out? Restaurants, malls.. whatever..

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

I understand, yes. Especially since I deal with that problem often myself. . . Kimi mumbles, reaching up and twirling a strand of Suki's hair around one of her fingers. Although, it makes me happy hearing you'd be patient with me. So, thank you for that.

As for dates. . . Well, I much prefer things like this. Simple picnics, walks in the park, libraries and bookstores, quiet cafés. However, I can see how that would be. . . Boring to some. Especially in such a high-energy world like the one we live in. But, what about you?

[firedupp]

You're welcome! Again, I want to know how you're feeling. I wanna know if I'm doing something wrong.. or right, too, hehe. Suki tilts her head slightly, letting Kimi play with it some more. I wanna know what's in that pretty head of yours.

She nods. She figured Kimi would be into that kind of thing. Ah, that's so you! I can handle that. I'm a pretty high energy person, so I like going to places like clubs, but doing that for a date just.. seems too overwhelming and public, ya know? But we could totally do some karaoke at a bar or something. Or, again, one of those. I like the idea of a more quiet thing like that.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi flushes at the pretty compliment, one of her usual shy smiles stretching onto her face. That sentiment is appreciated, my rose. Quite a lot, in fact. She responds, letting her hand comb and twirl through Suki's hair when she leans her head down.

Yes, I can see why that seems to be, as you say, 'so me'. Just as how I can associate you with high-energy places. But, yes, I would prefer to avoid clubs for dates. Just as you said, it can be overwhelming and public, and I'm not too fond of all the noise that comes with it. I wouldn't mind karaoke, though, in-between some of the quieter dates. At least, depending on how much energy I have on a certain day.

[firedupp]

You're welcome. It just makes sense to me, really. Suki shrugs, but not too much so she doesn't disturb Kimi. And don't worry if you don't have a lot of energy, I don't mind changing plans if needed. I know it's totally crazy to think about, but sometimes I'm super drained and just need to crash. So I get the feeling. Just let me know how you're feeling and I'll plan accordingly!

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

I can imagine it. Especially with all the shows you do. At least, based on what you told me. That, and your unitmates sound. . . Energetic, to say the least. Kimi speaks playfully, no hint of malice behind her words. But, yes, I will be sure to let you know when I'm having one of my low-energy days so I don't end up spoiling any plans. Promise. She briefly moved to take a sip of her tea, but was soon back to playing with Suki's hair, humming in content.

[firedupp]

Oh they are. Suki laughs. We're called F!RED UP! for a reason. That's a joke, but- still. We're a very energetic group. Besides Ayaka and- ahem. Yeah. Ayaka.

Eijirou was definitely less energetic too, but she didn't want to just accidentally rat Daisuke out.. Ayaka's getting better at keeping up with us, but she's naturally pretty shy and whatnot. I call her Shrimpy sometimes. But, anyway, yeah, I'm usually good at handling the energy but sometimes I just need to chill out.

Hey, you wouldn't spoil anything. We can just adjust. But thank you for that. Suki takes a sip of her tea as well. I'll do the same. Telling you if I'm feeling off, anyway.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi quietly laughs along, still occasionally playing with some of Suki's hair. That, and occasionally letting her nails gently scratch across her partner's scalp.

I think you've told me about her. She definitely sounds like she's improving, which I'm happy to hear for all of you. Although, I will admit I'm a bit confused by the 'shrimpy' nickname.

Good to know. And I would most certainly appreciate that. I would hate to make you feel bad on an already bad day, especially when you've done so much for me.

[firedupp]

Mhm, she is! We all are, honestly. Team effort, right? And I call her Shrimpy because of the way she makes herself appear smaller sometimes, like curling in on herself. It's all teasing.

Suki shuts her eyes briefly as she feels Kimi's nails on her scalp, humming quietly. I think that'd be hard for you to do, but I'll tell you anyway. And, c'mon, I haven't done that much~ Inflating my ego here!

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Yes, I suppose. I could also say that for my group mates, especially with how much they say that I'm improving. Especially Arthur. And understood. Kei often teases too, but I understand it's not meant to be harsh.

Upon Suki's reaction to it, Kimi stops simply playing with her hair, moving it's nails to scratch at her scalp some more. It's appreciated. And shush. You've done more than I can ask for, especially with my communication issues.

[firedupp]

Hehe, I'd say you're improving, too. Even though I'm not in your group, ehe. I can just feel it in my bones. Trust me.

Suki grins, sneaking a small kiss on Kimi's cheek. Yeah, yeah, whatever ya say, silly. Anyways, back to what we were talking about.. um.. I mean, is there anything you're, like, worried about, besides what we just said? I'm having trouble thinking of any other things that need to be addressed..

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Well, thank you, my rose. It's certainly nice to hear, especially from someone I consider myself close to like yourself. Don't worry, I trust you.

Kimi's cheeks go red at the kiss, but she barely reacts outside of that, continuing to scratch at Suki's scalp. Outside of getting better at communicating my emotions on my behalf, which is something I can work on, I don't think so. I think we've covered most everything. Unless anything else is on your mind. She also sneaks Suki a kiss after she speaks, this one being on the bottom of her jawbone.

[firedupp]

Suki giggled at the kiss, thinking about the question. Well, not really. If I think of something, it's not like I can't text you or anything. And don't worry too much about that, hopefully I can try to help you with that sort of thing. Plus, I'm not entirely amazing at everything people-wise either. I can be a bit hot-headed and impulsive.. so I guess we both have things to work on.

She shakes her head, biting her sandwich and washing it down with some of her tea. But I'm glad we talked about it and are on the same page. Sorry if this was awkward or anything, I just like knowing things. And I think it's important!

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

That is true. And I can text you if I think of anything. That, and while yes you can be a bit impulsive, I'd be happy to help you as well. Where I can, of course. So, perhaps we can help each other.

Trust me, I'm glad we talked about it as well. I didn't find it awkward, but I can understand how others might. However, it's good for relationships to understand these boundaries and likes, I think. Just as you said, it's important.

They pick up another sandwich, idly munching on it before glancing at their phone and frowning slightly. I got to get back home soon. . . My group has rehearsal tonight. . . But, I'm still glad we could do this. They gently peck Suki on the lips before collecting their stuff, turning back to her. Care to walk me home? Like last time?

[suzuki-kimi]

Suki felt so, so lucky.

She had been expecting her confession to go.. awkwardly, at the very least, but it ended up going very well! She had a partner now! She had Kimi!

Though, now she had a ton of things to think about. And she knew Kimi probably had some things to think about too. She figured a first date could help with that, and plus, who wouldn't want to go on a date with someone as cute as Kimi?

She thought about it for a while, and eventually decided a picnic would be good. It was chill, and it would be just the two of them! Suki prided herself on the idea before shooting Kimi a quick text.

<Hey hey! When are you free for a date? I'm thinking a picnic would be nice, but I'm open for ideas. Plus we could talk about things. Nothing bad of course, I just want to dig in your brain a bit. Let me know ☆ Love ya!>

- Hashimoto Suki 💄 (@firedupp)

Just like Suki, Kimi was also rather surprised that the confession went the way that it did. Even if she still didn't understand much of what it meant to have a partner or dates or anything of similar meaning, she wasn't going to complain. Especially when she had Suki to help her.

Speaking of which, Kimi had simply been reading on her bed when Suki had texted. They put their book down beside them, reading over the text. A faint warmth spread across their cheeks and they felt their heart beat faster, but they knew what it meant now. And it wasn't as worrisome of a feeling as before.

Right. When was it free for a picnic? It briefly closed the messaging app, scrolling over to its calendar before reading over its schedule. It was actually free that afternoon, surprisingly! Now, to text Suki. . .

<I am free this afternoon, if that works with you. And don't worry, I understood what you meant. I am also curious about a few things, and would enjoy talking to you about them. Love you, too. ❤️>

[firedupp]

Suki read the words on her screen and immediately grinned, giggling to herself as she started typing back.

<That works! Yay! See you soon!>

Suki sits up and starts getting ready, putting her hair up into a side pony and securing it with a bow. She worked quickly on her makeup. Then, once the right time came, she practically ran out the door, bringing a bag of strawberry sandwiches and some other snacks. The blanket she brought was basically shoved in.

When she makes it there, she lays the blanket down on the grass and simply waits for Kimi, fidgeting a bit with her legs.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi smiles at the text, before getting up and rummaging through her outfits. She wanted to find something nice, especially since this was technically their first date. . . But what to wear, what to wear?

They eventually decide on a simple white polka-dot dress, red cardigan, white socks, and brown shoes, happily examining the look in the mirror. It wasn't the fanciest look they've ever worn, but they felt cute.

It just hoped Suki thought so, too. . .

After applying just a little bit of eye shadow and a faint pink lip, she grabs some simple fruit teas and water, putting them into a bag before heading to the park. She made it after some time, looking around for Suki. She spots her after some time, sitting down next to her and gently tapping her shoulder.

Hello, my rose. It is good to see you. They smile, smoothing out their dress as they sit. Do. . . Do you like my dress? I spent a lot of time picking it out for today.

[firedupp]

Suki glanced over as she was tapped, eyes widening at the sight of Kimi. She broke out into a huge grin, hugging them without even thinking about it.. she then pulled away immediately.

Eek, sorry! You just look so cute today. Of course I like your dress~ It looks so good on you! Anyway, I'm really glad you could come. Here!

She scrambles through her bag, opening a container and handing Kimi a sandwich and a napkin. Your makeup is looking really good, too. I hope you like the food. I brought other things just in case, though.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi briefly flinches at the hug, a little unsure of what to do. However, as Suki starts pulling away, she pulls her back in for a brief (albeit stiff) hug of her own. She parts from her after a second, her usual small smile on her face.

It's alright, my rose. And thank you. I wanted to look my best for today. Especially since this is our first date. They fall silent as Suki starts going through the bag, their eyes in that doll-like stare before they're offered the sandwich.

Thank you again. I know it's not much, but I wished to attempt something. It takes the sandwich and napkin, placing it on it's lap before pulling it's bag over. And I like this, but thank you for offering something different. And here. It opens the bag, showing off the drinks it brought. Feel free to grab what you like.

[firedupp]

Suki was a little thrown off by the hug and noticed the stiffness, but she appreciated it anyway. She just pat its back before leaning back.

Hehe, you look great. I'll glad you wanted to dress up and whatnot~ Just know I find you very cute, dressed up or not. But, if it's what you want to do, then who am I to stop you?

She nods, looking at the different drinks and grabbing some random fruit tea. Ah, this is what I forgot! You're my total lifesaver, Kimi, thank you~

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Thank you, my rose. For both the compliments on my outfit and the cute comment. Although, yes, it is something I enjoy doing. Makes me feel. . . Nice. If that makes sense. Especially in outfits like this.

Kimi smiles as Suki takes a tea, placing bag back next to her once she was done. You're welcome, my rose. I didn't know if you had brought any, but I wanted to make sure I brought something. If not because it was needed, just to make sure I brought something.

After snacking on their sandwich, Kimi folds their hands on their lap, looking over at Suki with a confused doll stare. Now, you said you wished to speak? 'Dig in my brain a bit', as you said?

[firedupp]

Yeah, makes perfect sense! You don't gotta elaborate, ya know. If it makes you happy, just do it. But yeah, I get it, don't worry. That's why I dress up most of the time too!

Suki takes a sip of her tea with a hum. Ah, I see. Don't worry about needing to bring things, silly. It's not an obligation or anything. But thank you for them, they taste really good!

She perks up, adjusting how she was seated. Yes! Okay, hmm.. I just wanted to talk about, like, preferences and stuff. Boundaries, what you're okay with and what not. 'Cause I never ever wanna make my doll uncomfortable.. I want you to actually like being around me.

Suki chuckles. I know you're more adverse to physical touch, but do you know what you do like? Acts of service, words of affirmation.. honesty, doesn't even need to be a love language. And I also know you're more inexperienced, so it's okay if you don't know. And I also don't say that to be mean, sorry..

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi smiles a small smile, taking a sip of the berry tea she had grabbed from her bag. Well, I'm glad it made sense. And thank you. That, and you look beautiful today, my rose.

I also know it's not an obligation, but I wanted to. Especially because these are some of my favorite teas. And you're welcome. If I were to make a recommendation, I'd take the berry tea I have currently. It's been my favorite since I was small.

It listens as Suki explains what she wanted to talk about, taking another little sip of it's tea. Yes, that makes sense. Especially since we just started dating. These kinds of things are important. The sentiment is also quite appreciated.

Although, I wouldn't say I'm. . . Adverse to physical touch. As they say that, they lean onto Suki's shoulder. I don't always like it from strangers, but it's you. I don't mind touch, so long as you at least ask first. That and. . . Yea, I don't know what love languages I like or what mine are. And I know you weren't being mean when mentioning my lack of experience. Especially when it's a true fact.

[firedupp]

Aw~ Thank you very much, doll! You as well! Suki took a look at the berry tea and set it beside her. I'll have to try that later. Should've waited for your suggestion, ehe.. I just took the red one. Take a wild guess at what my favorite color is.

She looks at Kimi, relaxing her shoulders so it was more comfortable. Ah, right, I remember. I'll be sure to remember that. And, again, it's okay if you don't really know. I'm still kinda exploring that too. Um.. let's see.. is there anything you read about that kinda pops out at you? Makes you react in a good way? Or would me just talking about what I like be better?

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi flushes at Suki's compliments, simply moving so she could sit in her lap and still keep her head on the other's shoulder. It's alright. I didn't speak up immediately, and I figured you'd find something you like. As for the red one, though. . . I'm not sure which one it is exactly, but I know I have a pomegranate, strawberry, and raspberry tea in the bag. Is it any of those?

I have read some things since we last met. But, it's all rather. . . Confusing. It admitted, leaning onto Suki's shoulder more and hiding it's face in her neck. Although, perhaps hearing you talk about it might help me understand. So. . . Please do share what you like. Please.

[firedupp]

Ah, it's probably the pomegranate! It's really yummy~ Suki adjusts herself so Kimi could be more comfortable, holding their waist close. And, yeah.. it can be. I'll talk! Ahem!

She thinks about it for a moment. I like it when my partners offer to do things that I hate. Obviously I know that I need to do things I don't like! But hearing that my partner did it for me, especially on days where I feel like a walking zombie, it's like, totally sweet! Like, for example, I really hate washing dishes, it just makes me wanna gag. And my hands get all dry afterwards somehow, it really sucks! So if I'm having a rough day and I hear that somebody already did it, I'm literally jumping for joy.

[suzuki-kimi]

I'll keep that in mind for the future, then. Kimi replies with a hum, comfortably resting on Suki's lap. She stays quiet after speaking, simply listening to her partner speak.

Kimi smiles as Suki takes a tea, placing bag back next to her once she was done. You're welcome, my rose. I didn't know if you had brought any, but I wanted to make sure I brought something. If not because it was needed, just to make sure I brought something.

After snacking on their sandwich, Kimi folds their hands on their lap, looking over at Suki with a confused doll stare. Now, you said you wished to speak? 'Dig in my brain a bit', as you said?

[firedupp]

Yeah, makes perfect sense! You don't gotta elaborate, ya know. If it makes you happy, just do it. But yeah, I get it, don't worry. That's why I dress up most of the time too!

Suki takes a sip of her tea with a hum. Ah, I see. Don't worry about needing to bring things, silly. It's not an obligation or anything. But thank you for them, they taste really good!

She perks up, adjusting how she was seated. Yes! Okay, hmm.. I just wanted to talk about, like, preferences and stuff. Boundaries, what you're okay with and what not. 'Cause I never ever wanna make my doll uncomfortable.. I want you to actually like being around me.

Suki chuckles. I know you're more adverse to physical touch, but do you know what you do like? Acts of service, words of affirmation.. honesty, doesn't even need to be a love language. And I also know you're more inexperienced, so it's okay if you don't know. And I also don't say that to be mean, sorry..

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi smiles a small smile, taking a sip of the berry tea she had grabbed from her bag. Well, I'm glad it made sense. And thank you. That, and you look beautiful today, my rose.

I also know it's not an obligation, but I wanted to. Especially because these are some of my favorite teas. And you're welcome. If I were to make a recommendation, I'd take the berry tea I have currently. It's been my favorite since I was small.

It listens as Suki explains what she wanted to talk about, taking another little sip of it's tea. Yes, that makes sense. Especially since we just started dating. These kinds of things are important. The sentiment is also quite appreciated.

Although, I wouldn't say I'm. . . Adverse to physical touch. As they say that, they lean onto Suki's shoulder. I don't always like it from strangers, but it's you. I don't mind touch, so long as you at least ask first. That and. . . Yea, I don't know what love languages I like or what mine are. And I know you weren't being mean when mentioning my lack of experience. Especially when it's a true fact.

[firedupp]

Aw~ Thank you very much, doll! You as well! Suki took a look at the berry tea and set it beside her. I'll have to try that later. Should've waited for your suggestion, ehe.. I just took the red one. Take a wild guess at what my favorite color is.

She looks at Kimi, relaxing her shoulders so it was more comfortable. Ah, right, I remember. I'll be sure to remember that. And, again, it's okay if you don't really know. I'm still kinda exploring that too. Um.. let's see.. is there anything you read about that kinda pops out at you? Makes you react in a good way? Or would me just talking about what I like be better?

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi flushes at Suki's compliments, simply moving so she could sit in her lap and still keep her head on the other's shoulder. It's alright. I didn't speak up immediately, and I figured you'd find something you like. As for the red one, though. . . I'm not sure which one it is exactly, but I know I have a pomegranate, strawberry, and raspberry tea in the bag. Is it any of those?

I have read some things since we last met. But, it's all rather. . . Confusing. It admitted, leaning onto Suki's shoulder more and hiding it's face in her neck. Although, perhaps hearing you talk about it might help me understand. So. . . Please do share what you like. Please.

[firedupp]

Ah, it's probably the pomegranate! It's really yummy~ Suki adjusts herself so Kimi could be more comfortable, holding their waist close. And, yeah.. it can be. I'll talk! Ahem!

She thinks about it for a moment. I like it when my partners offer to do things that I hate. Obviously I know that I need to do things I don't like! But hearing that my partner did it for me, especially on days where I feel like a walking zombie, it's like, totally sweet! Like, for example, I really hate washing dishes, it just makes me wanna gag. And my hands get all dry afterwards somehow, it really sucks! So if I'm having a rough day and I hear that somebody already did it, I'm literally jumping for joy.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

I'll keep that in mind for the future, then. Kimi replies with a hum, comfortably resting on Suki's lap. She stays quiet after speaking, simply listening to her partner speak.

I understand that. We all have our low days, and hearing someone helped us with something we tend to not like? It's. . . Nice. I'll be sure to keep that in mind. They fall quiet again, thinking on something. I think. . . I think I like that. That, and I also like when someone is patient with me. It's something simple and expected usually, I know, but with my emotions and thoughts, its nice to have someone who takes time to ask about them. And be patient when I attempt to explain, even if it's not the clearest.

[firedupp]

Suki takes her turn to listen, nodding. She was glad they were on the same page. Ah, yeah, I get that too. Sometimes I make no sense and people get mad at me when I'm just trying to talk, ya know? Plus, I like knowing how you're feeling, even if it takes a while. So don't worry about that.

She stretches her arms. Soo.. how about dates? Where do you like to hang out? Restaurants, malls.. whatever..

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

I understand, yes. Especially since I deal with that problem often myself. . . Kimi mumbles, reaching up and twirling a strand of Suki's hair around one of her fingers. Although, it makes me happy hearing you'd be patient with me. So, thank you for that.

As for dates. . . Well, I much prefer things like this. Simple picnics, walks in the park, libraries and bookstores, quiet cafés. However, I can see how that would be. . . Boring to some. Especially in such a high-energy world like the one we live in. But, what about you?

[firedupp]

You're welcome! Again, I want to know how you're feeling. I wanna know if I'm doing something wrong.. or right, too, hehe. Suki tilts her head slightly, letting Kimi play with it some more. I wanna know what's in that pretty head of yours.

She nods. She figured Kimi would be into that kind of thing. Ah, that's so you! I can handle that. I'm a pretty high energy person, so I like going to places like clubs, but doing that for a date just.. seems too overwhelming and public, ya know? But we could totally do some karaoke at a bar or something. Or, again, one of those. I like the idea of a more quiet thing like that.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi flushes at the pretty compliment, one of her usual shy smiles stretching onto her face. That sentiment is appreciated, my rose. Quite a lot, in fact. She responds, letting her hand comb and twirl through Suki's hair when she leans her head down.

Yes, I can see why that seems to be, as you say, 'so me'. Just as how I can associate you with high-energy places. But, yes, I would prefer to avoid clubs for dates. Just as you said, it can be overwhelming and public, and I'm not too fond of all the noise that comes with it. I wouldn't mind karaoke, though, in-between some of the quieter dates. At least, depending on how much energy I have on a certain day.

[firedupp]

You're welcome. It just makes sense to me, really. Suki shrugs, but not too much so she doesn't disturb Kimi. And don't worry if you don't have a lot of energy, I don't mind changing plans if needed. I know it's totally crazy to think about, but sometimes I'm super drained and just need to crash. So I get the feeling. Just let me know how you're feeling and I'll plan accordingly!

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

I can imagine it. Especially with all the shows you do. At least, based on what you told me. That, and your unitmates sound. . . Energetic, to say the least. Kimi speaks playfully, no hint of malice behind her words. But, yes, I will be sure to let you know when I'm having one of my low-energy days so I don't end up spoiling any plans. Promise. She briefly moved to take a sip of her tea, but was soon back to playing with Suki's hair, humming in content.

[firedupp]

Oh they are. Suki laughs. We're called F!RED UP! for a reason. That's a joke, but- still. We're a very energetic group. Besides Ayaka and- ahem. Yeah. Ayaka.

Eijirou was definitely less energetic too, but she didn't want to just accidentally rat Daisuke out.. Ayaka's getting better at keeping up with us, but she's naturally pretty shy and whatnot. I call her Shrimpy sometimes. But, anyway, yeah, I'm usually good at handling the energy but sometimes I just need to chill out.

Hey, you wouldn't spoil anything. We can just adjust. But thank you for that. Suki takes a sip of her tea as well. I'll do the same. Telling you if I'm feeling off, anyway.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi quietly laughs along, still occasionally playing with some of Suki's hair. That, and occasionally letting her nails gently scratch across her partner's scalp.

I think you've told me about her. She definitely sounds like she's improving, which I'm happy to hear for all of you. Although, I will admit I'm a bit confused by the 'shrimpy' nickname.

Good to know. And I would most certainly appreciate that. I would hate to make you feel bad on an already bad day, especially when you've done so much for me.

[firedupp]

Mhm, she is! We all are, honestly. Team effort, right? And I call her Shrimpy because of the way she makes herself appear smaller sometimes, like curling in on herself. It's all teasing.

Suki shuts her eyes briefly as she feels Kimi's nails on her scalp, humming quietly. I think that'd be hard for you to do, but I'll tell you anyway. And, c'mon, I haven't done that much~ Inflating my ego here!

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Yes, I suppose. I could also say that for my group mates, especially with how much they say that I'm improving. Especially Arthur. And understood. Kei often teases too, but I understand it's not meant to be harsh.

Upon Suki's reaction to it, Kimi stops simply playing with her hair, moving it's nails to scratch at her scalp some more. It's appreciated. And shush. You've done more than I can ask for, especially with my communication issues.

[suzuki-kimi]

Suki felt so, so lucky.

She had been expecting her confession to go.. awkwardly, at the very least, but it ended up going very well! She had a partner now! She had Kimi!

Though, now she had a ton of things to think about. And she knew Kimi probably had some things to think about too. She figured a first date could help with that, and plus, who wouldn't want to go on a date with someone as cute as Kimi?

She thought about it for a while, and eventually decided a picnic would be good. It was chill, and it would be just the two of them! Suki prided herself on the idea before shooting Kimi a quick text.

<Hey hey! When are you free for a date? I'm thinking a picnic would be nice, but I'm open for ideas. Plus we could talk about things. Nothing bad of course, I just want to dig in your brain a bit. Let me know ☆ Love ya!>

- Hashimoto Suki 💄 (@firedupp)

Just like Suki, Kimi was also rather surprised that the confession went the way that it did. Even if she still didn't understand much of what it meant to have a partner or dates or anything of similar meaning, she wasn't going to complain. Especially when she had Suki to help her.

Speaking of which, Kimi had simply been reading on her bed when Suki had texted. They put their book down beside them, reading over the text. A faint warmth spread across their cheeks and they felt their heart beat faster, but they knew what it meant now. And it wasn't as worrisome of a feeling as before.

Right. When was it free for a picnic? It briefly closed the messaging app, scrolling over to its calendar before reading over its schedule. It was actually free that afternoon, surprisingly! Now, to text Suki. . .

<I am free this afternoon, if that works with you. And don't worry, I understood what you meant. I am also curious about a few things, and would enjoy talking to you about them. Love you, too. ❤️>

[firedupp]

Suki read the words on her screen and immediately grinned, giggling to herself as she started typing back.

<That works! Yay! See you soon!>

Suki sits up and starts getting ready, putting her hair up into a side pony and securing it with a bow. She worked quickly on her makeup. Then, once the right time came, she practically ran out the door, bringing a bag of strawberry sandwiches and some other snacks. The blanket she brought was basically shoved in.

When she makes it there, she lays the blanket down on the grass and simply waits for Kimi, fidgeting a bit with her legs.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi smiles at the text, before getting up and rummaging through her outfits. She wanted to find something nice, especially since this was technically their first date. . . But what to wear, what to wear?

They eventually decide on a simple white polka-dot dress, red cardigan, white socks, and brown shoes, happily examining the look in the mirror. It wasn't the fanciest look they've ever worn, but they felt cute.

It just hoped Suki thought so, too. . .

After applying just a little bit of eye shadow and a faint pink lip, she grabs some simple fruit teas and water, putting them into a bag before heading to the park. She made it after some time, looking around for Suki. She spots her after some time, sitting down next to her and gently tapping her shoulder.

Hello, my rose. It is good to see you. They smile, smoothing out their dress as they sit. Do. . . Do you like my dress? I spent a lot of time picking it out for today.

[firedupp]

Suki glanced over as she was tapped, eyes widening at the sight of Kimi. She broke out into a huge grin, hugging them without even thinking about it.. she then pulled away immediately.

Eek, sorry! You just look so cute today. Of course I like your dress~ It looks so good on you! Anyway, I'm really glad you could come. Here!

She scrambles through her bag, opening a container and handing Kimi a sandwich and a napkin. Your makeup is looking really good, too. I hope you like the food. I brought other things just in case, though.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi briefly flinches at the hug, a little unsure of what to do. However, as Suki starts pulling away, she pulls her back in for a brief (albeit stiff) hug of her own. She parts from her after a second, her usual small smile on her face.

It's alright, my rose. And thank you. I wanted to look my best for today. Especially since this is our first date. They fall silent as Suki starts going through the bag, their eyes in that doll-like stare before they're offered the sandwich.

Thank you again. I know it's not much, but I wished to attempt something. It takes the sandwich and napkin, placing it on it's lap before pulling it's bag over. And I like this, but thank you for offering something different. And here. It opens the bag, showing off the drinks it brought. Feel free to grab what you like.

[firedupp]

Suki was a little thrown off by the hug and noticed the stiffness, but she appreciated it anyway. She just pat its back before leaning back.

Hehe, you look great. I'll glad you wanted to dress up and whatnot~ Just know I find you very cute, dressed up or not. But, if it's what you want to do, then who am I to stop you?

She nods, looking at the different drinks and grabbing some random fruit tea. Ah, this is what I forgot! You're my total lifesaver, Kimi, thank you~

She nods, looking at the different drinks and grabbing some random fruit tea. Ah, this is what I forgot! You're my total lifesaver, Kimi, thank you~

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Thank you, my rose. For both the compliments on my outfit and the cute comment. Although, yes, it is something I enjoy doing. Makes me feel. . . Nice. If that makes sense. Especially in outfits like this.

Kimi smiles as Suki takes a tea, placing bag back next to her once she was done. You're welcome, my rose. I didn't know if you had brought any, but I wanted to make sure I brought something. If not because it was needed, just to make sure I brought something.

After snacking on their sandwich, Kimi folds their hands on their lap, looking over at Suki with a confused doll stare. Now, you said you wished to speak? 'Dig in my brain a bit', as you said?

[firedupp]

Yeah, makes perfect sense! You don't gotta elaborate, ya know. If it makes you happy, just do it. But yeah, I get it, don't worry. That's why I dress up most of the time too!

Suki takes a sip of her tea with a hum. Ah, I see. Don't worry about needing to bring things, silly. It's not an obligation or anything. But thank you for them, they taste really good!

She perks up, adjusting how she was seated. Yes! Okay, hmm.. I just wanted to talk about, like, preferences and stuff. Boundaries, what you're okay with and what not. 'Cause I never ever wanna make my doll uncomfortable.. I want you to actually like being around me.

Suki chuckles. I know you're more adverse to physical touch, but do you know what you do like? Acts of service, words of affirmation.. honesty, doesn't even need to be a love language. And I also know you're more inexperienced, so it's okay if you don't know. And I also don't say that to be mean, sorry..

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi smiles a small smile, taking a sip of the berry tea she had grabbed from her bag. Well, I'm glad it made sense. And thank you. That, and you look beautiful today, my rose.

I also know it's not an obligation, but I wanted to. Especially because these are some of my favorite teas. And you're welcome. If I were to make a recommendation, I'd take the berry tea I have currently. It's been my favorite since I was small.

It listens as Suki explains what she wanted to talk about, taking another little sip of it's tea. Yes, that makes sense. Especially since we just started dating. These kinds of things are important. The sentiment is also quite appreciated.

Although, I wouldn't say I'm. . . Adverse to physical touch. As they say that, they lean onto Suki's shoulder. I don't always like it from strangers, but it's you. I don't mind touch, so long as you at least ask first. That and. . . Yea, I don't know what love languages I like or what mine are. And I know you weren't being mean when mentioning my lack of experience. Especially when it's a true fact.

[firedupp]

Aw~ Thank you very much, doll! You as well! Suki took a look at the berry tea and set it beside her. I'll have to try that later. Should've waited for your suggestion, ehe.. I just took the red one. Take a wild guess at what my favorite color is.

She looks at Kimi, relaxing her shoulders so it was more comfortable. Ah, right, I remember. I'll be sure to remember that. And, again, it's okay if you don't really know. I'm still kinda exploring that too. Um.. let's see.. is there anything you read about that kinda pops out at you? Makes you react in a good way? Or would me just talking about what I like be better?

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi flushes at Suki's compliments, simply moving so she could sit in her lap and still keep her head on the other's shoulder. It's alright. I didn't speak up immediately, and I figured you'd find something you like. As for the red one, though. . . I'm not sure which one it is exactly, but I know I have a pomegranate, strawberry, and raspberry tea in the bag. Is it any of those?

I have read some things since we last met. But, it's all rather. . . Confusing. It admitted, leaning onto Suki's shoulder more and hiding it's face in her neck. Although, perhaps hearing you talk about it might help me understand. So. . . Please do share what you like. Please.

[firedupp]

Ah, it's probably the pomegranate! It's really yummy~ Suki adjusts herself so Kimi could be more comfortable, holding their waist close. And, yeah.. it can be. I'll talk! Ahem!

She thinks about it for a moment. I like it when my partners offer to do things that I hate. Obviously I know that I need to do things I don't like! But hearing that my partner did it for me, especially on days where I feel like a walking zombie, it's like, totally sweet! Like, for example, I really hate washing dishes, it just makes me wanna gag. And my hands get all dry afterwards somehow, it really sucks! So if I'm having a rough day and I hear that somebody already did it, I'm literally jumping for joy.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

I'll keep that in mind for the future, then. Kimi replies with a hum, comfortably resting on Suki's lap. She stays quiet after speaking, simply listening to her partner speak.

I understand that. We all have our low days, and hearing someone helped us with something we tend to not like? It's. . . Nice. I'll be sure to keep that in mind. They fall quiet again, thinking on something. I think. . . I think I like that. That, and I also like when someone is patient with me. It's something simple and expected usually, I know, but with my emotions and thoughts, its nice to have someone who takes time to ask about them. And be patient when I attempt to explain, even if it's not the clearest.

[firedupp]

Suki takes her turn to listen, nodding. She was glad they were on the same page. Ah, yeah, I get that too. Sometimes I make no sense and people get mad at me when I'm just trying to talk, ya know? Plus, I like knowing how you're feeling, even if it takes a while. So don't worry about that.

She stretches her arms. Soo.. how about dates? Where do you like to hang out? Restaurants, malls.. whatever..

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

I understand, yes. Especially since I deal with that problem often myself. . . Kimi mumbles, reaching up and twirling a strand of Suki's hair around one of her fingers. Although, it makes me happy hearing you'd be patient with me. So, thank you for that.

As for dates. . . Well, I much prefer things like this. Simple picnics, walks in the park, libraries and bookstores, quiet cafés. However, I can see how that would be. . . Boring to some. Especially in such a high-energy world like the one we live in. But, what about you?

[firedupp]

You're welcome! Again, I want to know how you're feeling. I wanna know if I'm doing something wrong.. or right, too, hehe. Suki tilts her head slightly, letting Kimi play with it some more. I wanna know what's in that pretty head of yours.

She nods. She figured Kimi would be into that kind of thing. Ah, that's so you! I can handle that. I'm a pretty high energy person, so I like going to places like clubs, but doing that for a date just.. seems too overwhelming and public, ya know? But we could totally do some karaoke at a bar or something. Or, again, one of those. I like the idea of a more quiet thing like that.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi flushes at the pretty compliment, one of her usual shy smiles stretching onto her face. That sentiment is appreciated, my rose. Quite a lot, in fact. She responds, letting her hand comb and twirl through Suki's hair when she leans her head down.

Yes, I can see why that seems to be, as you say, 'so me'. Just as how I can associate you with high-energy places. But, yes, I would prefer to avoid clubs for dates. Just as you said, it can be overwhelming and public, and I'm not too fond of all the noise that comes with it. I wouldn't mind karaoke, though, in-between some of the quieter dates. At least, depending on how much energy I have on a certain day.

[firedupp]

You're welcome. It just makes sense to me, really. Suki shrugs, but not too much so she doesn't disturb Kimi. And don't worry if you don't have a lot of energy, I don't mind changing plans if needed. I know it's totally crazy to think about, but sometimes I'm super drained and just need to crash. So I get the feeling. Just let me know how you're feeling and I'll plan accordingly!

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

I can imagine it. Especially with all the shows you do. At least, based on what you told me. That, and your unitmates sound. . . Energetic, to say the least. Kimi speaks playfully, no hint of malice behind her words. But, yes, I will be sure to let you know when I'm having one of my low-energy days so I don't end up spoiling any plans. Promise. She briefly moved to take a sip of her tea, but was soon back to playing with Suki's hair, humming in content.

[suzuki-kimi]

Suki felt so, so lucky.

She had been expecting her confession to go.. awkwardly, at the very least, but it ended up going very well! She had a partner now! She had Kimi!

Though, now she had a ton of things to think about. And she knew Kimi probably had some things to think about too. She figured a first date could help with that, and plus, who wouldn't want to go on a date with someone as cute as Kimi?

She thought about it for a while, and eventually decided a picnic would be good. It was chill, and it would be just the two of them! Suki prided herself on the idea before shooting Kimi a quick text.

<Hey hey! When are you free for a date? I'm thinking a picnic would be nice, but I'm open for ideas. Plus we could talk about things. Nothing bad of course, I just want to dig in your brain a bit. Let me know ☆ Love ya!>

- Hashimoto Suki 💄 (@firedupp)

Just like Suki, Kimi was also rather surprised that the confession went the way that it did. Even if she still didn't understand much of what it meant to have a partner or dates or anything of similar meaning, she wasn't going to complain. Especially when she had Suki to help her.

Speaking of which, Kimi had simply been reading on her bed when Suki had texted. They put their book down beside them, reading over the text. A faint warmth spread across their cheeks and they felt their heart beat faster, but they knew what it meant now. And it wasn't as worrisome of a feeling as before.

Right. When was it free for a picnic? It briefly closed the messaging app, scrolling over to its calendar before reading over its schedule. It was actually free that afternoon, surprisingly! Now, to text Suki. . .

<I am free this afternoon, if that works with you. And don't worry, I understood what you meant. I am also curious about a few things, and would enjoy talking to you about them. Love you, too. ❤️>

[firedupp]

Suki read the words on her screen and immediately grinned, giggling to herself as she started typing back.

<That works! Yay! See you soon!>

Suki sits up and starts getting ready, putting her hair up into a side pony and securing it with a bow. She worked quickly on her makeup. Then, once the right time came, she practically ran out the door, bringing a bag of strawberry sandwiches and some other snacks. The blanket she brought was basically shoved in.

When she makes it there, she lays the blanket down on the grass and simply waits for Kimi, fidgeting a bit with her legs.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi smiles at the text, before getting up and rummaging through her outfits. She wanted to find something nice, especially since this was technically their first date. . . But what to wear, what to wear?

They eventually decide on a simple white polka-dot dress, red cardigan, white socks, and brown shoes, happily examining the look in the mirror. It wasn't the fanciest look they've ever worn, but they felt cute.

It just hoped Suki thought so, too. . .

After applying just a little bit of eye shadow and a faint pink lip, she grabs some simple fruit teas and water, putting them into a bag before heading to the park. She made it after some time, looking around for Suki. She spots her after some time, sitting down next to her and gently tapping her shoulder.

Hello, my rose. It is good to see you. They smile, smoothing out their dress as they sit. Do. . . Do you like my dress? I spent a lot of time picking it out for today.

[firedupp]

Suki glanced over as she was tapped, eyes widening at the sight of Kimi. She broke out into a huge grin, hugging them without even thinking about it.. she then pulled away immediately.

Eek, sorry! You just look so cute today. Of course I like your dress~ It looks so good on you! Anyway, I'm really glad you could come. Here!

She scrambles through her bag, opening a container and handing Kimi a sandwich and a napkin. Your makeup is looking really good, too. I hope you like the food. I brought other things just in case, though.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi briefly flinches at the hug, a little unsure of what to do. However, as Suki starts pulling away, she pulls her back in for a brief (albeit stiff) hug of her own. She parts from her after a second, her usual small smile on her face.

It's alright, my rose. And thank you. I wanted to look my best for today. Especially since this is our first date. They fall silent as Suki starts going through the bag, their eyes in that doll-like stare before they're offered the sandwich.

Thank you again. I know it's not much, but I wished to attempt something. It takes the sandwich and napkin, placing it on it's lap before pulling it's bag over. And I like this, but thank you for offering something different. And here. It opens the bag, showing off the drinks it brought. Feel free to grab what you like.

[firedupp]

Suki was a little thrown off by the hug and noticed the stiffness, but she appreciated it anyway. She just pat its back before leaning back.

Hehe, you look great. I'll glad you wanted to dress up and whatnot~ Just know I find you very cute, dressed up or not. But, if it's what you want to do, then who am I to stop you?

I'm not sure which one it is exactly, but I know I have a pomegranate, strawberry, and raspberry tea in the bag. Is it any of those?

I have read some things since we last met. But, it's all rather. . . Confusing. It admitted, leaning onto Suki's shoulder more and hiding it's face in her neck. Although, perhaps hearing you talk about it might help me understand. So. . . Please do share what you like. Please.

[firedupp]

Ah, it's probably the pomegranate! It's really yummy~ Suki adjusts herself so Kimi could be more comfortable, holding their waist close. And, yeah.. it can be. I'll talk! Ahem!

She thinks about it for a moment. I like it when my partners offer to do things that I hate. Obviously I know that I need to do things I don't like! But hearing that my partner did it for me, especially on days where I feel like a walking zombie, it's like, totally sweet! Like, for example, I really hate washing dishes, it just makes me wanna gag. And my hands get all dry afterwards somehow, it really sucks! So if I'm having a rough day and I hear that somebody already did it, I'm literally jumping for joy.

[suzuki-kimi]

I'll keep that in mind for the future, then. Kimi replies with a hum, comfortably resting on Suki's lap. She stays quiet after speaking, simply listening to her partner speak.

I understand that. We all have our low days, and hearing someone helped us with something we tend to not like? It's. . . Nice. I'll be sure to keep that in mind. They fall quiet again, thinking on something. I think. . . I think I like that. That, and I also like when someone is patient with me. It's something simple and expected usually, I know, but with my emotions and thoughts, its nice to have someone who takes time to ask about them. And be patient when I attempt to explain, even if it's not the clearest.

[firedupp]

Suki takes her turn to listen, nodding. She was glad they were on the same page. Ah, yeah, I get that too. Sometimes I make no sense and people get mad at me when I'm just trying to talk, ya know? Plus, I like knowing how you're feeling, even if it takes a while. So don't worry about that.

She stretches her arms. Soo.. how about dates? Where do you like to hang out? Restaurants, malls.. whatever..

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

I understand, yes. Especially since I deal with that problem often myself. . . Kimi mumbles, reaching up and twirling a strand of Suki's hair around one of her fingers. Although, it makes me happy hearing you'd be patient with me. So, thank you for that.

As for dates. . . Well, I much prefer things like this. Simple picnics, walks in the park, libraries and bookstores, quiet cafés. However, I can see how that would be. . . Boring to some. Especially in such a high-energy world like the one we live in. But, what about you?

[suzuki-kimi]

Suki felt so, so lucky.

She had been expecting her confession to go.. awkwardly, at the very least, but it ended up going very well! She had a partner now! She had Kimi!

Though, now she had a ton of things to think about. And she knew Kimi probably had some things to think about too. She figured a first date could help with that, and plus, who wouldn't want to go on a date with someone as cute as Kimi?

She thought about it for a while, and eventually decided a picnic would be good. It was chill, and it would be just the two of them! Suki prided herself on the idea before shooting Kimi a quick text.

<Hey hey! When are you free for a date? I'm thinking a picnic would be nice, but I'm open for ideas. Plus we could talk about things. Nothing bad of course, I just want to dig in your brain a bit. Let me know ☆ Love ya!>

- Hashimoto Suki 💄 (@firedupp)

Just like Suki, Kimi was also rather surprised that the confession went the way that it did. Even if she still didn't understand much of what it meant to have a partner or dates or anything of similar meaning, she wasn't going to complain. Especially when she had Suki to help her.

Speaking of which, Kimi had simply been reading on her bed when Suki had texted. They put their book down beside them, reading over the text. A faint warmth spread across their cheeks and they felt their heart beat faster, but they knew what it meant now. And it wasn't as worrisome of a feeling as before.

Right. When was it free for a picnic? It briefly closed the messaging app, scrolling over to its calendar before reading over its schedule. It was actually free that afternoon, surprisingly! Now, to text Suki. . .

<I am free this afternoon, if that works with you. And don't worry, I understood what you meant. I am also curious about a few things, and would enjoy talking to you about them. Love you, too. ❤️>

[firedupp]

Suki read the words on her screen and immediately grinned, giggling to herself as she started typing back.

<That works! Yay! See you soon!>

Suki sits up and starts getting ready, putting her hair up into a side pony and securing it with a bow. She worked quickly on her makeup. Then, once the right time came, she practically ran out the door, bringing a bag of strawberry sandwiches and some other snacks. The blanket she brought was basically shoved in.

When she makes it there, she lays the blanket down on the grass and simply waits for Kimi, fidgeting a bit with her legs.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi smiles at the text, before getting up and rummaging through her outfits. She wanted to find something nice, especially since this was technically their first date. . . But what to wear, what to wear?

They eventually decide on a simple white polka-dot dress, red cardigan, white socks, and brown shoes, happily examining the look in the mirror. It wasn't the fanciest look they've ever worn, but they felt cute.

It just hoped Suki thought so, too. . .

After applying just a little bit of eye shadow and a faint pink lip, she grabs some simple fruit teas and water, putting them into a bag before heading to the park. She made it after some time, looking around for Suki. She spots her after some time, sitting down next to her and gently tapping her shoulder.

Hello, my rose. It is good to see you. They smile, smoothing out their dress as they sit. Do. . . Do you like my dress? I spent a lot of time picking it out for today.

[firedupp]

Suki glanced over as she was tapped, eyes widening at the sight of Kimi. She broke out into a huge grin, hugging them without even thinking about it.. she then pulled away immediately.

Eek, sorry! You just look so cute today. Of course I like your dress~ It looks so good on you! Anyway, I'm really glad you could come. Here!

She scrambles through her bag, opening a container and handing Kimi a sandwich and a napkin. Your makeup is looking really good, too. I hope you like the food. I brought other things just in case, though.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi briefly flinches at the hug, a little unsure of what to do. However, as Suki starts pulling away, she pulls her back in for a brief (albeit stiff) hug of her own. She parts from her after a second, her usual small smile on her face.

It's alright, my rose. And thank you. I wanted to look my best for today. Especially since this is our first date. They fall silent as Suki starts going through the bag, their eyes in that doll-like stare before they're offered the sandwich.

Thank you again. I know it's not much, but I wished to attempt something. It takes the sandwich and napkin, placing it on it's lap before pulling it's bag over. And I like this, but thank you for offering something different. And here. It opens the bag, showing off the drinks it brought. Feel free to grab what you like.

[firedupp]

Suki was a little thrown off by the hug and noticed the stiffness, but she appreciated it anyway. She just pat its back before leaning back.

Hehe, you look great. I'll glad you wanted to dress up and whatnot~ Just know I find you very cute, dressed up or not. But, if it's what you want to do, then who am I to stop you?

She nods, looking at the different drinks and grabbing some random fruit tea. Ah, this is what I forgot! You're my total lifesaver, Kimi, thank you~

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Thank you, my rose. For both the compliments on my outfit and the cute comment. Although, yes, it is something I enjoy doing. Makes me feel. . . Nice. If that makes sense. Especially in outfits like this.

Kimi smiles as Suki takes a tea, placing bag back next to her once she was done. You're welcome, my rose. I didn't know if you had brought any, but I wanted to make sure I brought something. If not because it was needed, just to make sure I brought something.

After snacking on their sandwich, Kimi folds their hands on their lap, looking over at Suki with a confused doll stare. Now, you said you wished to speak? 'Dig in my brain a bit', as you said?

[firedupp]

Yeah, makes perfect sense! You don't gotta elaborate, ya know. If it makes you happy, just do it. But yeah, I get it, don't worry. That's why I dress up most of the time too!

Suki takes a sip of her tea with a hum. Ah, I see. Don't worry about needing to bring things, silly. It's not an obligation or anything. But thank you for them, they taste really good!

She perks up, adjusting how she was seated. Yes! Okay, hmm.. I just wanted to talk about, like, preferences and stuff. Boundaries, what you're okay with and what not. 'Cause I never ever wanna make my doll uncomfortable.. I want you to actually like being around me.

Suki chuckles. I know you're more adverse to physical touch, but do you know what you do like? Acts of service, words of affirmation.. honesty, doesn't even need to be a love language. And I also know you're more inexperienced, so it's okay if you don't know. And I also don't say that to be mean, sorry..

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi smiles a small smile, taking a sip of the berry tea she had grabbed from her bag. Well, I'm glad it made sense. And thank you. That, and you look beautiful today, my rose.

I also know it's not an obligation, but I wanted to. Especially because these are some of my favorite teas. And you're welcome. If I were to make a recommendation, I'd take the berry tea I have currently. It's been my favorite since I was small.

It listens as Suki explains what she wanted to talk about, taking another little sip of it's tea. Yes, that makes sense. Especially since we just started dating. These kinds of things are important. The sentiment is also quite appreciated.

Although, I wouldn't say I'm. . . Adverse to physical touch. As they say that, they lean onto Suki's shoulder. I don't always like it from strangers, but it's you. I don't mind touch, so long as you at least ask first. That and. . . Yea, I don't know what love languages I like or what mine are. And I know you weren't being mean when mentioning my lack of experience. Especially when it's a true fact.

[firedupp]

Aw~ Thank you very much, doll! You as well! Suki took a look at the berry tea and set it beside her. I'll have to try that later. Should've waited for your suggestion, ehe.. I just took the red one. Take a wild guess at what my favorite color is.

She looks at Kimi, relaxing her shoulders so it was more comfortable. Ah, right, I remember. I'll be sure to remember that. And, again, it's okay if you don't really know. I'm still kinda exploring that too. Um.. let's see.. is there anything you read about that kinda pops out at you? Makes you react in a good way? Or would me just talking about what I like be better?

Though, now she had a ton of things to think about. And she knew Kimi probably had some things to think about too. She figured a first date could help with that, and plus, who wouldn't want to go on a date with someone as cute as Kimi?

She thought about it for a while, and eventually decided a picnic would be good. It was chill, and it would be just the two of them! Suki prided herself on the idea before shooting Kimi a quick text.

<Hey hey! When are you free for a date? I'm thinking a picnic would be nice, but I'm open for ideas. Plus we could talk about things. Nothing bad of course, I just want to dig in your brain a bit. Let me know ☆ Love ya!>

Just like Suki, Kimi was also rather surprised that the confession went the way that it did. Even if she still didn't understand much of what it meant to have a partner or dates or anything of similar meaning, she wasn't going to complain. Especially when she had Suki to help her.

Speaking of which, Kimi had simply been reading on her bed when Suki had texted. They put their book down beside them, reading over the text. A faint warmth spread across their cheeks and they felt their heart beat faster, but they knew what it meant now. And it wasn't as worrisome of a feeling as before.

Right. When was it free for a picnic? It briefly closed the messaging app, scrolling over to its calendar before reading over its schedule. It was actually free that afternoon, surprisingly! Now, to text Suki. . .

<I am free this afternoon, if that works with you. And don't worry, I understood what you meant. I am also curious about a few things, and would enjoy talking to you about them. Love you, too. ❤️>

[firedupp]

Suki read the words on her screen and immediately grinned, giggling to herself as she started typing back.

<That works! Yay! See you soon!>

Suki sits up and starts getting ready, putting her hair up into a side pony and securing it with a bow. She worked quickly on her makeup. Then, once the right time came, she practically ran out the door, bringing a bag of strawberry sandwiches and some other snacks. The blanket she brought was basically shoved in.

When she makes it there, she lays the blanket down on the grass and simply waits for Kimi, fidgeting a bit with her legs.

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi smiles at the text, before getting up and rummaging through her outfits. She wanted to find something nice, especially since this was technically their first date. . . But what to wear, what to wear?

They eventually decide on a simple white polka-dot dress, red cardigan, white socks, and brown shoes, happily examining the look in the mirror. It wasn't the fanciest look they've ever worn, but they felt cute.

It just hoped Suki thought so, too. . .

After applying just a little bit of eye shadow and a faint pink lip, she grabs some simple fruit teas and water, putting them into a bag before heading to the park. She made it after some time, looking around for Suki. She spots her after some time, sitting down next to her and gently tapping her shoulder.

Hello, my rose. It is good to see you. They smile, smoothing out their dress as they sit. Do. . . Do you like my dress? I spent a lot of time picking it out for today.

[firedupp]

Suki glanced over as she was tapped, eyes widening at the sight of Kimi. She broke out into a huge grin, hugging them without even thinking about it.. she then pulled away immediately.

Eek, sorry! You just look so cute today. Of course I like your dress~ It looks so good on you! Anyway, I'm really glad you could come. Here!

She scrambles through her bag, opening a container and handing Kimi a sandwich and a napkin. Your makeup is looking really good, too. I hope you like the food. I brought other things just in case, though.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi briefly flinches at the hug, a little unsure of what to do. However, as Suki starts pulling away, she pulls her back in for a brief (albeit stiff) hug of her own. She parts from her after a second, her usual small smile on her face.

It's alright, my rose. And thank you. I wanted to look my best for today. Especially since this is our first date. They fall silent as Suki starts going through the bag, their eyes in that doll-like stare before they're offered the sandwich.

Thank you again. I know it's not much, but I wished to attempt something. It takes the sandwich and napkin, placing it on it's lap before pulling it's bag over. And I like this, but thank you for offering something different. And here. It opens the bag, showing off the drinks it brought. Feel free to grab what you like.

[firedupp]

Suki was a little thrown off by the hug and noticed the stiffness, but she appreciated it anyway. She just pat its back before leaning back.

Hehe, you look great. I'll glad you wanted to dress up and whatnot~ Just know I find you very cute, dressed up or not. But, if it's what you want to do, then who am I to stop you?

She nods, looking at the different drinks and grabbing some random fruit tea. Ah, this is what I forgot! You're my total lifesaver, Kimi, thank you~

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Thank you, my rose. For both the compliments on my outfit and the cute comment. Although, yes, it is something I enjoy doing. Makes me feel. . . Nice. If that makes sense. Especially in outfits like this.

Kimi smiles as Suki takes a tea, placing bag back next to her once she was done. You're welcome, my rose. I didn't know if you had brought any, but I wanted to make sure I brought something. If not because it was needed, just to make sure I brought something.

After snacking on their sandwich, Kimi folds their hands on their lap, looking over at Suki with a confused doll stare. Now, you said you wished to speak? 'Dig in my brain a bit', as you said?

[suzuki-kimi]

Suki felt so, so lucky.

[suzuki-kimi]

Suki had already known how she was feeling for a while. She was someone who tended to dive head first into these things, but Kimi felt.. different, from the rest. She didn't want to accidentally ruin anything, especially since she really enjoyed their company and wanted to help it figure out who they were and what they liked.

But.. it was getting harder to hide. Especially because she gave Kimi a fat kiss on the cheek the last time they met. What a genius move..

Ever since that happened, Suki felt like she had to say something before it boiled over and she did something stupid. She had managed to find a time to meet with Kimi, waiting at a nearby park on the swings. Not the most romantic place.. or serious place either, but she couldn't think of anywhere else.

She had simply been swinging by herself, waiting for Kimi to pull up so she could possibly ruin her friendship. Damn it.

- Suki 💄 (@firedupp)

Kimi, on the other hand, was still so, SO confused by what she was feeling. The tingly, happy feeling in her chest, the random thoughts relating to Suki that made her heart beat faster. That, and the kiss that she put onto her cheek and the one she returned onto her knuckles didn't help the confusion. She didn't get it. She tried asking some of her friends, but just couldn't put the feelings into words.

And it was driving them a bit mad.

So, when Suki asked it to meet her at the park, it decided to go. Maybe ask her about what was happening with it. She seemed to understand this stuff better than it. So, off to the park it went, Kimi thankfully finding Suki on the swings after some time.

Carefully, as to not startle her, she taps Suki's shoulder, waving to her as she sat on the other swing. Good afternoon, Suki. I hope you're doing alright. And thank you for inviting me to join you here.

[firedupp]

Suki perks up as she was tapped, heart already beginning to beat faster. She had just tried to hype herself up too! Even then, she still had to rip the bandaid off, even if she wasn't quite ready..

Heyy, Kimi! Yeah, it's no problem. I'm doing good, just.. She inhales. Was this too fast? Oh well. I just wanna talk to you. I'm really bad at being serious, but I might explode if I don't get this off my chest.

Kimi literally just sat down, but she found that her words were just.. falling out of her mouth like a waterfall. Listen, I really like you. Like, really like you. Like I want to go on a date with you. But I also don't want you to feel pressured to say yes. I'd rather you just tell me no if that's what you truly mean, you know?

She stared down at her shoes. Sorry, I had a script and I forgot it so now I'm just kind of blabbing. But I think you're really nice and sweet and all the other cute descriptors. And.. I dunno. I'm just really interested in you. But, again, don't feel pressured to tell me anything other than what you're actually feeling. Especially because I don't.. want anything to change. I still want to be your friend. And help you. And hang out and stuff. That's all.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi nods as she sits down on the swing next to Suki, lightly kicking her legs as Suki speaks. However, as she speaks, it takes her brain a second to process what she was saying, trying to catch up to everything.

She. . . She LIKES them? And wants to date them? They've heard of dates, but it never really intrigued them. They've never had any of the feelings associated with it.

Until now, at least. Maybe that's what it was feeling?

I. . . Suki. . . I. . . It was taking her so long to process her thoughts, her hands shaking as she grips onto the swing chains. I. . . I think I like you, too. I don't know how all this works, and I have a lot of emotions still to process for me, but. . . If 'liking' someone is usually associated with faster heartbeats and wanting to be around that person for as long as you can, then. . . Yes. I believe I like you, too.

[firedupp]

Suki's eyes widened as Kimi shared how she was feeling. Somehow, even with her anxious thoughts, she could tell it was being genuine. She smiles wide and chuckles, hopefully not coming across as mean.

Aw.. yes, that's how it shows up for some people. It's like that for me, too. But I'd be happy to help you figure out all that stuff too. I'm always here for you if you need anything. Even if we don't end up.. together, I guess.

She fidgets with her hair. But.. it makes me really happy to hear that you feel the same way. And lucky too, of course~ Suki then twists in her swing, turning to face Kimi and just kind of.. stares at them. She didn't want to make Kimi uncomfortable by being touchy, so she shoved down that antsy feeling and just waited for them to ask or something.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi briefly glances over at Suki, her eyes full of worry and confusion. She still couldn't quite understand what she was feeling, even as pieces fell into place. Her hands kept shaking against the chains she was holding onto, her gaze flicking to the ground.

Well, I suppose I'm glad that that's how this shows up for some, I suppose. But. . . They go quiet, still quite nervous. I've. . . I've never liked anyone. I've never had something like this. And I'm sure. . . No, I'm POSITIVE that's what I feel about you, but I don't know how to explain it, and. . . I don't know, it's frustrating.

I'm happy it makes you happy. Don't get me wrong, I am. I'm happy that I make you happy, and I wish to continue doing so. However. . . Does it not frustrate you that I can't communicate my emotions as well as others? It's voice is quiet, and it can feel tears burning behind it's eyes. Does it not annoy you to have to learn to understand me?

[firedupp]

Suki listens to Kimi, face falling slightly. She had dealt with that a couple times, but likely not as much as Kimi. Still, she could try her best to understand.

..Kimi? Suki speaks up once they're done talking, grabbing one of it's hands and holding it gently. She wasn't sure if it wanted a hug, so this would do for now. No. I mean, obviously I can't speak for the future, but.. I don't think I'd ever be annoyed at you, Kimi, especially not for something like that. If learning is what I have to do, then.. I'll learn. You deserve to have someone understand you, even if it might be hard for you to put things into words. I want to be that person. If you'll let me.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi glances back to Suki as she speaks, cheeks faintly pink from a mix of embarrassment and that warm fuzzy feeling that she's finally pinned as 'liking' someone. Liking Suki. Her thoughts were still a confused blur, but she didn't try to immediately sort them out for once. Instead, she nods, gingerly moving off her swing and shuffling over to Suki, firmly hugging her once she was in front of her.

. . . Thank you. Thank you so much, Suki. I-I want you to be that person, too, and I want to learn as much as I can about this for you. So, yes. Yes, I'll let you. The tears hiding behind their eyes finally began to spill, their hands still shaking. I. . . I adore you, Suki. And I want to be ever at your side. In-between their sentences, they gently press a kiss to Suki's cheek, finally meeting her gaze again with their own. If you'll allow me to.

[firedupp]

Suki got up from the swing and sat down right in front of it, bringing Kimi with her as she hugged her close. Oddly enough, she felt so proud of the other for finding this out.

She smiles softly at the kiss, cupping Kimi's cheek and carefully wiping the tears away. Of course I will, silly. Thank you for letting me in. She then leans in, pressing their lips together softly as if Kimi would shatter if she handled it in any other way.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi quietly yelps at being brought down into the sit-hug, but she's not complaining in the slightest. Her emotions were still all over the place, and Suki's touch was. . . Grounding. That word seemed to fit, so that's what she stuck with. It was grounding, and made her feel safe and warm. Hesitantly, she hugs Suki back, briefly hiding her face in the other's neck before adjusting herself to meet Suki's eyes.

They lean gently into Suki's hand, humming in content as their tears were wiped away. You're welcome, Suki. And thank you for. . . Well, I can't think of a simpler way to say this, all that you've done for me so far. They were about to say more, but the gentle kiss to their lips cut them off. It took them a second to register what was happening, but they eventually relax a bit, kissing Suki back and slowly draping their arms over her shoulders.

[firedupp]

Suki mumbled a small apology, just holding the other close and not really thinking of anything other than how Kimi felt in her arms. When it looks up, she brushes their hair out of their face.

She hums against their lips, rubbing their side as they shared a kiss. She eventually pulls away slightly, giggling to herself. You know I got you. No need to thank me~

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi let's out a little sigh when Suki pulls away from the kiss, quietly laughing to herself as well. I'm aware, and I appreciate it. But, still, I want to thank you for it. Especially since I'm not exactly. . . Easy to understand? But you do. That makes me quite happy.

That, and the kiss. . . Apologies if I, as they say, 'ruin the moment', but that felt. . . Electric. I have butterflies in my stomach, and everything feels all light and fuzzy. They move one of their hands to caress Suki's cheek, the other arm still draped over her shoulder. May I do it again, my rose?

[firedupp]

I like learning about people, you know? Especially those I want to be close with. You wanna know something really funny about Reo that he brought up, like, once? He really likes watching plays and whatnot. Doesn't seem like that type of person, does he?

Suki moves on, shaking her head with a bit of a flush on her face. Awwh, shit. Don't worry about ruining the moment, that was totally cute~ Of course you can. She then puckers her lips, being over the top just to maybe make Kimi laugh.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

I believe I understand it, yes. Especially in this sort of situation. Kimi pauses when Suki shares the fact about Reo, the blonde tilting her head to the side. I believe I vaguely remember meeting him. From what I recall, he most certainly doesn't seem like the type to like viewing plays, but I'm not one to judge.

They quietly giggle again when Suki compliments them, cheeks tinting pink as well. Well, I'm glad I didn't ruin it. Especially since I'm still learning. They also laugh at Suki's over-the-top actions, that happy fuzzy feeling in their heart. Without another word, they gently press their lips to hers, mimicking the way she kissed them earlier.

[firedupp]

Oh, really?! I sort of forgot if you've met him, but honestly, I shouldn't be shocked.. I swear, that guy knows everyone and their mom. And I'm not one to judge either~ I just like to bring it up sometimes and see him get all shocked.

Hey, I'm still learning too. I'm right along with you~ Suki laughs as well, smiling as Kimi's laugh hit her ears. She was so glad she could make it feel this way, and she really hoped she could continue.. she simply reciprocated the kiss, just letting her partner take the lead and do what they wanted.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi continues the kiss for another minute or so, reveling in the fuzzy and electric feelings she had described before. After some time, she does part them, moving simply to hug Suki again, nuzzling her head into the other's neck.

That felt nice, but it's all a bit. . . Overwhelming, if that makes sense. Would you mind just. . . I don't know the proper term, but could we just hug and you hold me? I don't know how to describe it, but I think I like being held, especially by you, my rose. However, don't feel like you have to say yes. I understand if you wish to do something else.

[firedupp]

Suki adjusts herself so Kimi could cuddle as close as she wanted, lips tingling slightly after the kisses. God, that was wonderful..

No, yeah, I get it! Stuff like this is usually pretty intense anyway, so it makes sense. Do you mean cuddling? 'Cause I don't mind that at all~ C'mon~ She then pulls them a little bit closer, resting her head against Kimi's while wrapping her arms around it.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi enjoys being held, she definitely could tell. As Suki pulls her closer, she happily hums, nuzzling her head into Suki's akin to a cat. Yes, I suppose I meant 'cuddling'. I like cuddling, I believe. Because it's warm and safe and, I don't know, I think I just like being held by you.

They grab one of Suki's hands, gently squeezing it as they snuggle more into her. I think this relates to one of the love languages? Physical touch is one of them, correct? I think that might be one of mine. But, I usually don't let people touch me. . . Except for you. . . They fall quiet, occasionally muttering to themselves as they try to make sense of what they were trying to explain.

[firedupp]

Aw, that's so cute~ I'll keep that in mind, then. I'm also a cuddler too, so I'm glad that works out~ Hehe.

Suki thinks for a minute, humming to herself. She had an idea, but she also didn't want to just assume.. oh well, who cares? Yes, that's right! It's physical touch, gift giving, quality time, words of affirmation, and... um.. shoot, what's the other one.. oh! Acts of service, yeah. Anyway. You might just let me because you feel safe and comfortable enough. You mentioned feeling safe earlier, anyway, so that's just how I see it. Obviously I'm not you, though.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi doesn't say anything, just simply hums in response. She's far too comfortable, still occasionally nuzzling into Suki and squeezing the hand she was holding. This really was nice.

Understood. I'll be sure to remember all of those, especially as our relationship grows. And. . . Yes, I suppose that makes sense. I more just found it fascinating because I usually don't let others touch me at all, even my friends. Closest I've done is let Sorato hold my hand when taking me somewhere, but like this? No. You're the only one who gets to do this.

[firedupp]

Suki was incredibly comfortable as well, not even minding that they were in public. To be fair, though, Suki never cared about other people looking at them in public..

Maybe I can find some articles on them, if you'd like. I'm not too good at researching, but those tend to catch my interest. Or maybe I could get Ayaka to do it for me.. eh, whatever. Buuuut.. yeah, that's is pretty interesting, huh? Guess I'm just so special and cool and awesome~ She plants a small kiss on its head, grinning from ear to ear.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

You don't have to if you don't want to, but it would definitely be appreciated. Especially since I want to do the best I can to be the best partner I can be for you. I understand there's no pressure, probably, but I want to do everything I can to show you that I care and adore you. She happily hums as Suki kisses the top of her head, leaning up to press a kiss onto her cheek. And yes, you are just that special. You're my rose, after all.

They adjust themselves a bit more, squeezing Suki's hand again. And are you comfortable down here? I can't imagine the ground here is not the most comfortable, and we can move if you'd like. We don't have to move if you don't want to, though.

[firedupp]

Then that I shall do~ And I appreciate the sentiment, but remember that you just being yourself is one of the best things you can do. I'm quite easy to please, too, so don't stress too much, alright, doll?

Suki laughs, shaking her head slightly but not in disapproval. You're so cute. And yes, I'm okay right here if you are. I don't mind sitting anywhere.

Kimi faintly flushes pink at Suki's sentiment, a faint smile on her face. Alright. Thank you, my rose. I'll be sure to keep that in mind, but if I do something more odd than my usual, please tell me, alright? Also, I think I like that nickname. Doll. While yes, people have compared me to dolls, from you, it sounds. . . Nice. It stirs that warm feeling in my heart.

They continue to flush at the cute compliment, adjusting once again in Suki's hold and once again nuzzling their head into her neck. I'm quite alright here, my rose. I just wished to make sure you were comfortable as well.

[firedupp]

Alright, if that's what you want, I will. And I'm glad you like it, hehe.. I think pet names are stupid cute, and I figured it just fit, you know?

Suki simply nods, holding Kimi close. She had also been feeling warm and fuzzy all day, especially in her stomach, so she was happy she wasn't alone on that. She was also happy with the fact Kimi was her partner now, of course.. she'd probably go home and scream about it into her pillow later.. speaking of..

Oh! I just remembered something! Did you end up showing Shirato the pictures I sent of my brother's tattoo? What'd he think?

[suzuki-kimi]

I suppose they are cute. I might try a few with you, but rose will probably be my main 'pet name' for you. Red fits you well as a color, and you remind me of the beauty of the roses from the garden. So, I suppose I get it.

Kimi happily accepts being held close to Suki, her heart fluttering a bit in her chest. It was still a lot for her to understand, but she was happy to be learning about it. Especially with someone that she cared for as much as her rose.

They refocus on reality at Suki's question, nodding at her question. I did, yes. He loved them, and if he ever meets your brother, he'll definitely have thousands of questions about it and if he likes any other bugs in the future. So, you may want to warn him about that.

[firedupp]

Aww, jeez, you flatter me! Suki giggles, tucking some of her hair behind her ear. It's nice to hear someone put so much thought into a name like that. Makes my heart beat like a drum.

She then perks up a bit, searching through her pocket and handing Kimi a business card. I'm glad he liked them~ I'll be sure to tell Shinobu that. I'm not sure if he likes any other bugs, but maybe he'd like to learn about some, I dunno. But, Shinobu's group is performing at a festival soon, so if Sorato wants to hang out, he should totally come~ They're a bit of a popular group, so it might be hard to get tickets now, but I promised I'd do some advertising for him. Advertisement over~

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi takes a second to process what Suki says, but a happy little smile stretches onto her face once it settles in for her, that fuzzy feeling coming back again. Well, I'm glad you like it. I suppose I'm learning how our new romance works quite quick, hm? She playfully pecks Suki's lips, resting her head back onto her shoulder.

They take the business card, tucking it into the pocket of her sweater. I'll be sure to give this to him the next time I see him. Especially since, as I've mentioned a few times, he loves meeting new people. But, yes, now that the advertisement is over, back to, as I believe it can be called, 'us time'. They quietly giggle, as if such foreign words coming from them was funny.

[firedupp]

Yeah, I guess you are, huh? Smart learner. Suki winks, glancing down at Kimi's lips and returning the peck she was given. Shinobu also likes meeting new people, even if he comes off as a bit scary and off putting to some. He's definitely a bit shy though. And, yes, it's us time now~

Suki, oddly enough, stays pretty quiet, humming a small tune but not saying much else. There wasn't really anything to say now, and the silence wasn't awkward for her. She just basked in the fuzzy feeling in her body, playing with Kimi's hair a little.

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi's cheeks go pink when Suki winks at her, but she simply chuckles, happily receiving the peck she was returned. I'll be sure to tell Sorato that. Not that he'll complain about it, just as a slight reminder, I suppose. But, enough of that for now. I'll worry about it at a later time.

They fall quiet, listening to the tune Suki is humming with their usual small smile on their face. They also enjoy their hair being played with, oddly enough. At least, to them. Everything felt so nice, they didn't want the moment to ever end. Even if everything was making them a teeny bit sleepy. . .

[firedupp]

Yeah, that can be a problem for future us. For now, we can just relax and chill out~ Suki says simply, brushing Kimi's hair back. Though, she did notice it seemed to drift a little, and wasn't sure if she should wake them up or not.

Kimi.. you sleepy? She asks, tilting her head slightly.

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi just hums in acknowledgement, still leaning into the touch to her hair. She was fighting her eyes shutting all the way, but Suki was so warm and gentle and she was so relaxed-

Hm? Oh, yea, I guess I am. I apologize, I'm not trying to fall asleep, but you're so warm and comforting, I get so relaxed and end up getting drowsy. . . They glance away in embarrassment and maybe a bit of shame, cheeks faintly pink. And they got a good amount of sleep last night. . .

[firedupp]

Aw, cute. I'm glad I can be at least a little comforting, ya know? But, falling asleep at a park probably isn't the greatest idea..

Suki notices Kimi looking away, gently pinching her cheek. Hey, don't worry about it, I'm not mad. You can't really control feeling all drowsy. But, I'm willing to walk you home if it's close enough!

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

I know. . . But, yes, you are indeed very comforting. I think it's why I felt so calm and safe enough to fall asleep on you after you did my make-up. But, yes, napping here probably wouldn't be a good idea. . . But I don't want to have you leave yet. . .

Kimi flushes as Suki pinches their cheek, a small smile on their face. I'm glad you're not mad. If you wouldn't mind walking me home, I'd appreciate it. Even if I don't want to say goodbye anytime soon. . .

[firedupp]

Suki chuckles, face flushing a little more than it already had been. It was nice to hear that someone like Kimi admired her so much. I knoww, it's never easy to say bye. But, it's not like we won't see each other ever again, you know? And of course I would, I offered, silly~ Even if I didn't, I'm always happy to take you home or do anything with you.

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi stays quiet for a bit, simply listening to Suki with a small smile on her face. She was so sweet, and it kept stirring all those warm feelings in her heart. Gently, she reaches for one of Suki's hands, giving it a little squeeze.

That's fair, I suppose. Especially since we go to school together. And. . . Thank you for that sentiment, my rose. They lean up, kissing Suki on the lips before standing to their full height, briefly dusting off their skirt before offering a hand for Suki to help her up. Now, why don't we enjoy our walk, hm?

[firedupp]

Suki squeezed Kimi's hand as well, bringing it to her lips and kissing gently. Yeah, exactly! Although, you are studying a lot. But I don't mind it, I like a bit of a smarty pants. It's cool when people are knowledgeable, you know? I don't understand people who act dumb and think they're so cute.

She nods, grabbing Kimi's hand and pulling herself up. Yep, yep~ Lead the way! I'll be right here~

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi flushes again when Suki kisses her hand, giggling softly to herself. Well, I'm glad you don't mind it. That, and if you ever need my tutoring help again, like when we first met, you know how to reach me. And I don't quite understand it either, but my misunderstanding might be a bit different than yours. Not in a bad way, mind you.

They keep their hand in Suki's, happily humming to herself and squeezing the hand they were holding. Yes, let's. It's a few minutes away, but as long as I get to spend more time with you, I'll be happy and content.

[firedupp]

Hehe, I'll be sure to ask you if I need it. I'm pretty okay with my grades, even though it might not get me into a good university.. oh well, that's another problem for future me~ And don't worry, I totally get it.

Suki nods, practically skipping as they went, but she still made sure she wasn't leaving Kimi behind. Especially since she didn't know where she was going. Yes, I agree~

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

There's no pressure of course, but I'm glad you trust me for that. And yes, perhaps it'll be a problem for future you. But, if you ever need help, you know I'll be there for you. And I hope you'll remember that. Kimi lifts up the hand of Suki's she was holding, pressing a kiss to the back of it before continuing on the walk.

They do their best to keep up as Suki skips a bit ahead, happily humming to themselves. It took them a few minutes, maybe about six or so, but they made it after some time, Kimi turning to Suki with a small smile on their face. Thank you for everything today, my rose. They lean up a bit, pressing a kiss to their girlfriend's lips. I love and adore you, my rose.

[firedupp]

Hehe, of course I'll remember that. You'd been nothing but sweet to me ever since we met, I trust you enough to come to you. Especially now that we're dating~ Suki then squeaks, playfully fanning herself with her free hand.

Once they made it to Kimi's house, Suki cups its cheek and reciprocates the kiss with a wide smile. She hugs them tightly before pulling away. You're welcome, Kimi. I'm.. really happy you felt the same. I love and adore you too~ Be safe, okay? I'll be sure to text you once I'm home~

-💄

[suzuki-kimi]

Kimi hugs Suki back with the same enthusiasm she was given, a smile still present on her face. I will, don't worry. You do the same as well, and I look forward to your text once you get home. Love you!

They head into their house after that, blowing on more kiss to Suki before shutting the door behind them. Everything still felt so warm and giddy, and they simply couldn't wait for the next time they'd get to see her again.
