teio curled around air groove, both sleeping, suddenly popping up: you can't leave, they have to entangle our bones air groove, petting her back to get her to lay back down: okay, let's go to sleep now teio: yeah

teio, cuddled up with her plushies, agonized: no, i'm the king of the ice castle. no i'm the king of the ice castle! air groove reaching over to smooth her hair: ... teio, happily and softer: i'm the king of the ice castle

teio, directly into groove's collar bone: it's okay, giant spiders eat giant flies air groove, who is pinned under her and will not being going back to sleep after that mental image: ...teio that is not reassuring teio, not awake: oh, look, godzilla is here to eat the flies, too... giant lizards eat giant flies air groove, giving up and rubbing teio's arms: that's nice (how big are these flies?) teio: *happy sleepy teio noises* groove, acceptance in her tone: you could at least let me get up to make tea

gf so clingy she needs you to be a part of her dreams

[ To Have the Courage to Ask ]

: duramente and air groove are out in the garden, weeding groove's flowerbeds. while groove is entirely focused on her flowers, dura appears to be agitated about something. it almost seems like any other time that the younger uma has searched groove out to seek her advice. duramente: guru-nee... duramente: are you and teio available this saturday? air groove, without looking up: i am, i would have to check with teio, but i assume she is as well. why? dura fidgets, avoiding looking at air groove. it's not usual behavior for her, but it appears groove hasn't noticed anything amiss. duramente: i was wondering if the two of you could join me on a ... a double date. air groove: alright, i'll speak with teio and let you know what she says later. duramente: thank you. i will send you the details. dura bows and makes a hasty escape. as she runs away, groove finally looks up from her flowers, confused. air groove: wait, what? air groove: wait, who?

it's dura's first time going on a date! she seemed a bit unsure about the whole thing, so vivlos suggested she invite someone else and make it a double date, less pressure (*ゝω･*) . now that the hard part is over, will everything go smoothly?

part 1 | part 2

bonus: idk what happened, but i was thinking of the haha jonathan dracula meme, and suddenly i had picmix open instead of just slapping text over a picture and then this was born

[ a cute cafe date ]

: duramente sits on a bench right outside of a cafe. Her eyes are closed, and she shifts minutely. air groove approaches her. air groove: good morning, dura, you're here early. duramente, jumping too attention: good morning, i didn't get here much earlier. you're early, too. air groove, frowning with a slight blush: i had to beat teio here. now we're just waiting on her and ... duramente: ah, i didn't tell you who my date was, did i? air groove: no. duramente: it's-- vivlos: dura! vivlos comes running up to duramente and wraps her in a hug. duramente, blushing: good morning, vivlos. i'm glad to see you made it. vivlos: of course i did! you didn't think i was gonna stand you up on our first date, did you? even after you picked out a cute cafe for us to go to? dura's silence makes it obvious she had entertained the thought. vivlos, laughing: but dura, i asked you out! why would i do that if i didn't want to go on a date with you? duramente: ... vivlos continues to laugh as she spins them around. dura's eyes meet groove's and she lets go of vivlos. she coughs awkwardly and motions between the two of them. duramente: guru-nee, this is vivlos, my date. vivlos, this is air groove. vivlos: hi! air groove, extending a hand: good morning, vivlos. why don't the two of you go inside and get us a table. teio shouldn't take much longer. vivlos: sounds good, let's go! vivlos grabs dura's hand and starts dragging her towards the cafe doors. air groove, to herself: i can't say i would have expected-- tokai teio arrives, sneaking up behind groove to cover her eyes with her hands. tokai teio: guess who! groove is hit with the sudden realization that teio and vivlos have a number of similarities -- they are both short(er), loud, and have pony/twin tails, to name a few -- and she has to face that fact that while she was mentoring dura, she also passed down her taste in umas. air groove: ... oh. teio, not privy to groove's inner crisis, has her own crisis of not being able to provoke more of a reaction than "oh." from her girlfriend. teio, worried: ... oh? air groove, having reached the acceptance stage: oh. teio, the sadness setting in: oh.

[ A loving gesture... ]

Just today, you were giving me that look of yours with your eyebrow raised all the way to here!

obviously i had to do a little scene redraw from my favorite air groove event, "empress and monarch," look at them looking at each other with love in their eyes <3 the lower the ears, the higher the affection/j

she's not even blocked on lane 😭 #winning

and that quick reply has to mean something. like if my train was delayed and i was getting home late, i would not be rushing to open and respond to a message from someone i disliked

also it's really funny to me that air groove messaged dura and got a response from dura through teio. what is this from air groove's perspective i must know.

i just love them so much <3

also classic teiguru moment

also duramente doesn't need lessons in how to be cute, she just needs lessons in how to weaponize her natural cuteness because she's so cute already

>teio hugging air groove >air groove moves >teio moves with her teio: we must always maintain three points of contact groove: that is a safety rule for ladders. i am not a ladder, teio. teio, hugging her tighter: girlfriend safety rule

another early morning in the stuco office:

teio: sometimes i try to sync our dreams so i can terrorize you in different dimensions

teio: one day i'll get you

groove:

groove: excuse me

(i don't know where the original picture of the texts to credit dialogue is from, i tried to search but ??? here's where i found it)

augh long-distance teiguru

air groove records little videos of herself going about her day and teio listens to them, pretending groove is beside her, making tea, reading, playing the piano, taking care of her flowers, etc.

teio writes letters, sometimes short and sometimes long, because groove likes the physicality, having something to hold

air groove sends her some pressed flowers, forget-me-nots, pink camellias, and of course horseshoe geranium - teio sends back "a cool rock that kind of looks like you"

groove does not find the rock to resemble her at all, brian tells her it is her twin

sweatshirt exchange program

they take turns yapping each other's ears off over the phone

if teio sends groove a picture of herself, groove has 10 minutes to compliment her before teio starts sending messages along the lines of "oh so you hate me and want me to die, got it"

groove will sends clips of herself playing the piano and ask what teio thought, sometimes she'll just send back a "good 👍" and groove will send follow-up questions: did you like it? what parts specifically were good? did you have any ideas for improvements? could it be better? was it good? teio: its 1 am, let me sleep

teio has an air groove body pillow, she tried to get groove a teio one, it did not go over well

they like to send each little "this reminded me of you" texts, one time teio sent air groove a picture of a random dog peeing "this reminded me of you 🥺" groove: how did this remind you of me? teio: i thought of the angry face you'd make if i texted you that 🥺 groove: 😡
