Congrats to @wombatking for being my first Ko-fi customer! As promised, here is the ficlet request in exchange for the donation! Thanks so much for purchasing me a Ko-fi. ;D
Have some good old fashioned Kunoichi Squared for the soul. <3
“If I’d known he was going to break my foot, I would’ve kicked him in the face a lot harder.”
April hums, listening with half an ear to Karai’s grumbling.
“At least fifty times more. Possibly a hundred.”
“I don’t think humans can exert that much force,” April says, drawing a swirl of color across Karai’s cast.
“Watch me do it anyways,” Karai says in the most belligerent tone she can. “Fucker broke my foot. This is irony I won’t stand for.”
“And that would be why he’s in thirty different pieces and at the bottom of the bay, correct?”
Karai slouches further into the couch cushions, dramatic and simmering with anger. “Should’ve made it sixty.”
April grins, and adds a doodle of Karai’s grumpy face to the cast. “Shush, you’ve been needing some vacation time anyways. We can go somewhere nice while you heal up.”
“I’m a worldwide infamous crime lord. I make adult men and women piss themselves just by glaring at them, I run an empire I re-founded from the ground up, I’ve fought monsters and men for most of my life and killed almost all of them with my own two hands- I don’t take vacations.”
“Well, now you do,” April says, and snickers as Karai makes the most disgusted sound a human possibly can.
“I’m going to go insane,” Karai says, covering her eyes and laying her head back. “The most I’ll be able to do is paperwork. I can’t show myself to anyone until this stupid thing-” April holds away her marker as Karai twitches her injured leg. “-is off, and I just know someone will try something stupid while I’m away.”
“Which is why Shini is watching the Foot, and taking your place in making grown adults pee themselves in fear,” April says calmly, restarting her doodling process. A smug, catlike Shinigami face is added beside the grumpy Karai one. “Just until you get back to breaking people’s noses with your heel, promise. And I’ll be with you the whole time, so you won’t be too bored.”
Karai peeks out from under her arm, and gives April an appraising look. “And how exactly are you going to keep me from being bored?”
April smirks, and waggles her eyebrows. “I have my ways.”
“Miss O’Neil,” Karai says slyly. “Implying such things so early in the evening? How forward of you.”
April turns faux innocent. “I have no idea what you’re talking about, Oroku-san.”
Karai snorts, and crooks a finger. “Get over here, goof.”
April caps her marker- she’ll finish her masterpiece later- and slides up the couch dutifully. Karai’s lips are makeup free, courtesy of one Shinigami demanding her Senpai take it easy in every way, and April kisses them with all the gentleness her girlfriend deserves.
Their legs are arranged to avoid hurting Karai’s foot, and April winds her herself around Karai with care. The large couch cushions are wide enough to accommodate the snuggling, and it makes for a comfy cuddle spot.
“So maybe I won’t be all that bored,” Karai admits, letting April brush stray bangs from her face.
April grins, and pecks her on the cheek for the admittance.
(Please consider buying me a Ko-fi, so I can keep busing to work!)
