I'm still sorry you had to go through it.

[pinkutau]

[a gently appreciative smile]

...Thank you, Meiko-san.

I still have my happy memories to hold on to, and I'm grateful for that. But even now...I would enjoy meeting her again.

[portalholic]

I hope you get the chance. Truly.

[pinkutau]

[And at that, she brightens up. Such a good friend, Meiko. ^^]

Someday, I may. The universe is a strange place, and the future's always in motion. It might happen after all.

[pinkutau]

[Then, a slightly scandalous expression crosses her face, even as she begins to blush in obvious embarrassment again.]

I still haven't told you about the first time she kissed me.

[portalholic]

Oh, ho ho~

[pinkutau]

[No current icon can convey, but somewhat sheepishly - sortuva ^^;]

It wasn't really all that romantic, though, not by itself...but I'm sure the city thought so.

We both found ourselves locked in a closet suddenly, with no indication of how we got there. We tried right away to get out, but I couldn't force the door, and Kasumi-san wanted to pick the lock but had no room to work.

[portalholic]

Oh, that sounds a little high pressure...

I'M BACK. /2

[pinkutau]

It was. When I first attempted to knock down the door, the soundwaves were entrapped in that small space...my audio receptors rebalanced them, but Kasumi-san didn't have the same benefit. I didn't think of her discomfort until much later.

...Anyway, she told me of the condition for our release. We were required to kiss, and to keep kissing, until seven minutes had passed. We had already observed that the door could not be defeated, so...

[pinkutau]

[slightly more seriously]

Though it appeared ordinary, my strength couldn't even deform it. I believe it was dimensionally sealed by the City itself.

WB!

[portalholic]

Ugh, that sounds like something this place would pull...

I'm really hoping that wasn't your first kiss or anything. But even if it wasn't, that's a really gross way to force an issue. I've never had one, but I don't think relational developments should be like that.

Thank you. =D

[pinkutau]

Mm. I didn't think to make the comparison at the time, but it was very much like what we know the Dressing Room to do on occasion. There are other dimensions, in fact, with similar tendencies...

I...well, it was less than ideal, I agree. But fortunately, I already knew and liked Kasumi-san, so...I wasn't trapped with a complete stranger, at least. [Unlike a certain someone else she knows, who tended to enjoy dealing with that situation.]

^^

[portalholic]

That's still wrong! Ugh...

[pinkutau]

I-- I agree. I would've preferred that the circumstances were left up to us, or perhaps that we were acquainted a little better first...

[But while that statement is true enough, she also came to accept such dimensional shenanigans as normal on some level - and her caretaker dismissing them as just such (and often coming home with stories of shenanigans) helped cement that.]

[...oh, and hey, speaking of. this is where we get to what's considered the meaty part, and now that she's actually here, Momo finds this's...a bit more embarrassing to talk about than she'd anticipated.]

...It wasn't my first kiss. But when Kasumi-san began to kiss me, it...[how does one say this?] It was slightly overwhelming, because it was truly the first time I'd been kissed in such a way.

[Oh stars, the memories. They've faded a little, courtesy of odd time passage and dimension lag and other such technobabble, but she's sure she recalls the feelings, at least.]

...It was a wonderful experience, when you got past how awkward the situation was. Her body was soft, her touch so warm and gentle...and when she kissed me, I felt something wonderful inside my heart. It was very confusing, but I-- enjoyed what I was feeling.


[All that said, she might be idealizing it just a bit. Momo's also stammering a little bit, too, by the time she reaches the end. Even though it's Meiko-san she's saying this to, and the referenced memory has become distant, it's still...well.]

[portalholic]

That...

Well, I don't have much experience with the romantic type, next to singing my fair share of songs...

But it sounds like love, Momo-chan.

/2

[pinkutau]

[She looks down to her mostly-empty plate, thoughtful.]

It's possible. Before then, I'd only known her for a short time...but I'd already grown very fond of her. She was also...[embarrassing, but--] she was very beautiful to me. I felt more attraction for Kasumi-san than any other female before and possibly since, even after the love phenomenon had ceased operation.

...Nevertheless, I still wonder if those feelings were fed by the City, even if they didn't originate there. Anytown did call itself "the most romantic city," after all.

[pinkutau]

But on the other hand, I don't doubt the friendship Kasumi-san and I shared. It was genuine, even if it wasn't tested by time.

[portalholic]

It sounds like it...

I'm sorry you were separated.

[pinkutau]

It's alright.

...Separation happens sometimes.

[portalholic]

Yeah, but that doesn't mean it's not a sad situation or that I don't feel bad for you both.

[pinkutau]

I know...and I'm thankful for you feeling so, truly.

...Could I ask you something?

[portalholic]

Well, of course! What's up?

Gonna head off after this -- shower and RL social. =D

[pinkutau]

It's about what I said before we left the house...

[Momo dodges the temptation to give into nerves and just goes straight for it. She knows she'll be hesitating for a while otherwise.]

If I truly did come to feel that way for you, would it be alright?

I hope it was fun!

[portalholic]

I...

[looks at a genuine loss for words]



...Of course it would be alright!

[gives Momo a firm smile at that-- she means it! but after that, Meiko starts to look flustered again]

But, ah...

Thanks. =D It technically didn't go according to plan, but it wasn't a bad thing.

[pinkutau]

((Happy tagtimes awaited when I was back, so all is well on that front. =D))


...Would it make you uncomfortable?

[Momo asks the question gently, with sincere concern.]
