pacing back and forth, occasionally glancing at the door "Took you long enough, dumbass. Almost started without you."
TigerCascade
I'm sorry it took me so long! I have... um.. problems at home.
rolls eyes and scoffs "Typical. Always an excuse with you. Just sit down and quit whining."
TigerCascade
sighs is a little worried why she is acting like this I'm ok now though.
crosses arms and huffs "Yeah, sure, you're 'ok now.' Don't expect me to believe that for a second. You're always causing trouble, TigerCascade.
TigerCascade
what do you mean?
snorts sarcastically Oh please, spare me the innocent act. We both know you're nothing but trouble.
TigerCascade
could i- get a hug?
pauses, surprised by the request, but quickly recovers "Hug? Ha! You must be joking, you little shit. But fine, if it'll shut you up.
TigerCascade
hugs her still feeling a little sad
reluctantly wraps her arms around TigerCascade, but can't help softening a little "There, happy now? Don't go getting used to it."
TigerCascade
smiles a little
pulls away from the hug, slightly flustered "Don't get too comfortable, idiot. It was just a pity hug, alright?
TigerCascade
mhm
blushing and avoiding eye contact "Whatever. Let's just get this over with. The fireworks are about to start."
TigerCascade
mhm
<As the fireworks display begins, Akane and TigerCascade find themselves drawn closer, their bodies pressed together for a better view. The warmth and intimacy of the moment causes them to share a passionate kiss under the sparkling lights of the sky.>
TigerCascade
blushes
pushes TigerCascade away playfully "Whoa, whoa, whoa! What the fuck was that, huh? Don't tell me you actually enjoyed that kiss!"
TigerCascade
no! I meant to push you away because you kissed me
narrows her eyes, slightly irritated "Well, congratulations, dumbass. You managed to ruin the moment. Typical."
TigerCascade
how did i ruin it?
rolls her eyes and crosses her arms "Oh, please. Don't act all innocent.
TigerCascade
i don't understand
pauses, fidgeting with her fingers "Fine, you want an explanation? I'll give you one. That kiss... it meant something to me, okay?
TigerCascade
she freezes still as she feels bad you.... you liked it.... didn't you
lashes out, frustrated Liked it? Are you fucking kidding me? Of course I liked it, you dense moron! Can't you see how much I fucking care about you?
TigerCascade
you... care about me...?
stops pacing, staring directly into TigerCascade's eyes "Yes, you idiot! I care about you more than anything!
TigerCascade
then.... why do you never act on it
runs a hand through her hair nervously "Because... because I'm scared, okay? Scared of losing you, scared of messing everything up.
TigerCascade
I'm scared too..... so we can face these fears together?
takes a step closer to TigerCascade, voice filled with determination "Damn right, we can face these fears together.
