@jellyluchi's Foca again?!?!?! four-way polycule again!?!?
Foca and Granita go on a platonic date while the boys are busy. part 1 because i wanna write them in the cafe too that was the ORIGINAL idea but the dresses distracted me
Sometimes… Sometimes she forgets. Sometimes Granita forgets how different her life is to everyone around her. The simple idea of going to stores just to spend on yourself isn’t something she’s ever experienced. Going to a tailor, having your boyfriend (boyfriends, in her case) standing outside the changing room helping you choose dresses.
She never experienced any of it. And really… She’s not really experiencing it now. But Focaccia is with her. And she’s pretty close. Focaccia wanted to go out. It’s a spur-of-the-moment “date” since Ghiaccio and Prosciutto are on a job together.
They’re in a high end dress shop. Prosciutto left them his card. “Just keep receipts”, he’d said.
Focaccia has a lot of nice, fancy clothes. She and Prosciutto go out and do this all the time. Granita doesn’t… Not for lack of Prosciutto wanting to. She just doesn’t feel comfortable…
Maybe it’s easier with it being a woman. Women rarely bid on her after all. She ignores the thought. Focaccia is looking through some of the dresses. Looking at different shades on Granita.
Focaccia’s mumbling to herself. A few of the employees stare at them. Judging them? It feels like it. One leans in to whisper to a coworker.
The other woman is suddenly pushing Granita to the changing room. She comes in with her, Granita never wears dresses like this after all.
It’s short. Granita’s fingers tense at the sight of it. Focaccia assures her. Their boys- and her- would never let anyone touch her wearing this. The left side of the dress is lifted, pinned into the built-in corset. Showing off more of her leg. It’s a soft textured, dark blue fabric. Off the shoulders, with a sort of… Granita doesn’t know what that’s called. She doesn’t know much about fashion at all…
Focaccia just wants Granita to feel as beautiful as she is. She makes sure to take pictures to send Prosciutto and Ghiaccio.
They buy a few dresses. Granita doesn’t look at how much it cost. They end up in a cafe for lunch. … It’s actually nice. It’s nice.
“... Grazie,” Granita’s voice is quiet. She’s staring down at the coffee in her hands. Prosciutto has always been a man that appreciates the finer things in life. Raised with the expectation that he spend on his girl and show her off. Like a trophy. And Granita has never felt comfortable with parts of it. Skirts, dresses… They offered too easy access. She’s still healing.
Focaccia’s hand appears on Granita’s left. Her finger traces over Symbiotic. Granita’s wearing both rings of her stand, one on the left and the other on the right. Focaccia has always had a comforting smile. They’re talking. They’re laughing.
Maybe Granita will be okay… Maybe everything will be okay.
