‘She’s thinking something arrogant,’ Uule thought as she observed Keyynu, who was checking herself out with her phone camera and wearing her ‘I’m the best’ smile.
“Thinking about how great you think you look or just how awesome you think you are?’’ Uule called down.
“AH!” Keyynu fell off the couch she had been precariously laying on with a crash. Keyynu half-glared back up at Uule, gathering herself up with false dignity, “Okay 1. I don’t think I’m great looking or awesome, I am and 2. How long have you been there?”
A half smile formed on Uule’s face, “Do you want to know the answer to that question?”
“Well, when you answer that way, it makes me feel like I don’t,” Keyynu replied warily.
The smile grew a smidge more at that. Uule calmly came down from her perch, “So what were you thinking about?”
Keyynu’s face lit up again with a burning pride, “I got a girl’s number today.”
“Oh, I see, so you were thinking about how great you think you are at flirting?” Uule smirked.
“Once again, am great at flirting and second, maybe,” Keyynu replied, “Don’t you have anything better to do?”
“Only if you admit that there are better things to do than interact with you,” Uule retorted.
Internally, Keyynu’s first thought was about how that sentenced rhymed but she wasn’t about to admit to that. Externally, she threw out her arms and held her head high in a extra queenly manner, “You’re right, there are no better things to do in this entire world when you can bask in my beauty.”
Uule rolled her eyes and started walking away, probably to go bother whoever she saw next, “Just tell me when you manage to strangle a date out of the poor girl.”
“You’ll find out just through all the stalking you do,” Keyynu jabbed back, making her way back to the couch so she could begin the long process if antagonizing over every letter she thought about sending to this “poor girl”.
“It makes my job easier for you to just tell me instead,” Uule replied over her shoulder.
/\/
Keyynu managed to “strangle” a date out of the “poor girl” the next day, giving her the rest of the week to lowkey freak out until the weekend, when she would begin to highkey freak out.
/\/
Keyynu was now highkey freaking out, but she was hiding it well under a false sense of confidence and pride while posing in the mirror and checking herself out.
“Did you know you’ve been doing this for at least 16 minutes now and that I may have a video recording of it?” Uule appeared from behind her.
Keyynu jumped and yelped, “Could you not give me a heart attack every time you want to speak to me? Especially before my date? Also, I’ll let that last part you said slip if you send me the recording.”
“No guarantees on the first request.” Uule approached more blatantly moved for Keyynu’s sake towards her as Keyynu turned back to the mirror, a nervous sigh/giggle escaping her. Uule’s features softened and reached an arm around to give Keyynu a side hug.
“It’ll be fine. You’ll be fine. The world isn’t ending today. Nobody’s gonna die or anything of the like so you can shove the worst-case scenarios out of your mind.” Uule assured her.
Keyynu gave a small sigh of relief, reciprocating the side hug, “You know, it’s so much more reassuring when you say that.”
“I know,” Uule replied.

The date… could have gone better. It started out ok, typical awkwardness and the sort and then it slowly descended like slinky that wasn’t given enough energy to go all the way down the stairs as the awkwardness continued to hang heavy in the air with every passing minute.
“Pretty cute, like me,” Keyynu flattered herself, shooting finger guns at her date.
The girl’s small smile lessened, the Mona Lisa’s smile could’ve reviled it, and her eyes seemed to dull.
That’s how it continued, sparkles and nervous giggles slowly spiraling down. Uule watched this quietly, slowly traveling disaster from afar. At some point, morbid curiosity led her to search through the date’s memories, it revealed an old ex being the main cause of the burning and crashing. Being reminded of an old ex while on a date with someone new never ended well, Uule though as she winced in sympathy.
Uule’s eyes searched for a solution, finally falling on the fire alarm on the wall across from her. Well, that was one way to salvage things.
/\/
Keyynu came back home much more quietly than you would expect, especially with her hair and clothes as damp as they were. Uule was on the couch, like she had been there for hours, half-invested in reading the musty, old book in front of her.
“How’d the date go?” she asked, eyebrows raised to show she was curious but eyes still on her book.
An unsure look crossed Keyynu’s face, followed by a bitter shadow, “Don’t you already know?”
Uule shook her head, still somewhat absorbed in her book, “I’m feeling lazy today, so I’ll just look into the mall video feed later. Besides, I want to hear what you have to say about it.”
Keyynu gave Uule an odd look, and worried if Uule was getting sick or something, but she quickly brushed it off to instead wallow in despair of a lackluster date.
She sighed, “It definitely could’ve gone better. I guess we just didn’t click like I thought we would when we first met. Oh yeah, and then after at least an hour of awkward-date-ness some kids pulled the mall fire alarm as a practical joke. So, we both got soaked and decided to just end the date there.” Keyynu paused, adding after a thought, “I also fell on my ass as we tried to walk/run out of the mall, that hurt.”
Uule finally got up and put her book down at that, walking over to Keyynu to comfort her.
Her expression was a rare, soft one, “Well, go treat yourself to a hot glitter bomb bath or something to cheer yourself up. I think Seren is going to start a Disney movie marathon soon, maybe you can join her later. Have a nice comfort night and all that, I even promise not to cause any explosions, freaks of nature, or any unusual circumstances of the like.”
Keyynu nodded, her face starting to draw itself into a tired, blank expression.
/\/
A while later, Keyynu found herself curled up on the couch with a fuzzy blanket and clean smelling hair. She desperately wanted cuddles but Seren squeaked whenever she tried to put her head on her shoulder.
“Sorry,” Keyynu mumbled, leaning away from Seren to the other side of the couch.
Seren cleared her throat, “It-it’s ok, if you, uh, want to, um, cuddle. You just spooked me.”
Keyynu looked at her with a cautiously hopeful expression, “Are you sure?”
Seren nodded so she wouldn’t have to stutter out another sentence, her face was probably getting close to bright red at this point.
Keyynu’s face lit up finally, making Seren’s heart beat faster but also swell with happiness, it had been hours since Keyynu smiled for real.
“Ok!” Keyynu immediately jumped over to lay against Seren’s side, quickly cuddling up to her.
Seren was blushing so hard her face started to feel like it was burning, just slightly she leaned against Keyynu too. After a couple movies, sleep started falling heavy on them despite it not being ungodly late just yet, which is when both usually pass out when it comes to movie marathons. Seren and Keyynu were now using it each other as pillows, small yawns escaping from both every once in a while. Sleeping Beauty had ended about five minutes ago, and now they were staring at the rolling credits screen, neither were up to moving to start a new movie.
“Hey, Seren?” Keyynu yawned out quietly.
“Hm?” Seren replied.
“If this was a date, it was the nicest I’ve ever been on,” Keyynu mumbled, eyes closed and mind already starting to shut down.
Seren’s mind shut down with Keyynu’s too, but for different reasons.
