the night is short

[hairpincurves]

Who: Akira and you! Plus a closed prompt for Goro.
What: Fissure preparations
When: The week leading up to the trip out to Bellmare
Where: Around the Station, also Incendia
Warnings: Can't think of anything, but I'll change this if something comes up

Closed to Goro
[Well, the trip's been a long time coming, and Akira figures if nothing else, it might as well be best to get this done now. There's a lot that needs to be done in the coming week...]

Hey, do you want to get that Incendia trip done today? Might be cutting things a little close with the upcoming expedition, but...

Open
[As for the rest of the week, when she's not doing her usual training, Akira can be found bustling around the station.

... You'd think after helping with the Halloween party, she'd be sick of doing things in the kitchen, but that's clearly not the case, as she can be found cooking up... far too much food for just herself (even taking Wildcard portions into account...).

Or, some might catch her sewing--though, it's not the usual stuffed animals she busies herself with. That... sure is a growing pile of scarves next to her... though there's one that's folded and sitting apart from the rest. That one might be going into someone in particular.

And then it's entirely possible that occasionally, she's down at the stable, taking care of a black pegasus there.]

Sorry, Est, I think you're gonna have to sit this one out...

Comments

[hairpincurves]

It's entirely possible.

[foolishjustice]

[He'll keep looking in that area, pretty quickly turning up a pair of tight briefs with a sheer, floral pattern on the back and sides.]

[hairpincurves]

Oh, those are really nice...

[foolishjustice]

[Trying them on now!]

I think Kurama will like them, too.

[hairpincurves]

Mm, definitely!

[She'll go back to looking for stuff for herself now, eventually holding up a blue chemise with black lace, checking the color against herself.]

Hmm...

[foolishjustice]

I think it works fine.

[Back to the rack of men's underwear and...well then. He winds up holding up a black, lacy thong with a...conveniently placed hole in the front. He's maybe turning a little pink just considering it.]

Oh...

[hairpincurves]

[Akira, meanwhile, has looked up from the chemise she picked up, and... Oh.

Yeah, she's going a bit red, excuse her.]

[foolishjustice]

[His blush stays fairly steady as he tries it on...it's. It's really no different from the first thing he tried on, right?]

[hairpincurves]

[Yeah, her own blush is darkening as he tries it on... not that she's exactly looking away or anything...]

It, ah, it looks good...

[foolishjustice]

[His own blush darkens at the comment, but he's not exactly turning away...]

Are you going to try yours on?

[hairpincurves]

O-oh! Um, yes!

[She got so distracted that she hadn't even thought about it...

She starts changing into the chemise, blush remaining steady as she does... she also changes into the stockings and garters that go with it.]

[foolishjustice]

[As he watches, his blush intensifies to nearly the level it hit back when he was talking about shopping for underwear in the first place. He's suddenly even more acutely aware of what this underwear doesn't cover...but at least manages to wrestle his brain away from the gutter.]

It...it looks nice on you.

[hairpincurves]

[She smiles shyly, especially when she notices the blush.]

Th-thank you...

[She glances off to one side, attention caught by a second chemise... this one almost entirely black lace, with sky blue bows.]

Oh, this one...

[foolishjustice]

[And you know what? He'll go ahead and change into a pair of short briefs, made entirely of something black and lacy, with a gap in teh back covered only by crisscrossing ribbon.]

It looks nice.

[hairpincurves]

It does... And yours does, too...

[She'll go ahead and try on this new chemise, along with the matching panties.

She's definitely blushing more again now...]

[foolishjustice]

I think I'm having better luck here than I was with outer clothing.

[hairpincurves]

Yeah, no kidding... Kind of a shame, but it's at least better than nothing.

[foolishjustice]

Attractive outfits for in public are less important, anyway. I'm happy as long as I have something nice to wear for the people I trust enough to see me in something intimate.

[hairpincurves]

[... She at least manages to not say "awww" out loud, but it does show loud and clear on her face.]

[foolishjustice]

[Yeah, he gets that message. She's getting a light shove for it, too.]

[hairpincurves]

[She laughs, pushing some hair out of her face.]

Look... you're really sweet, okay? It's endearing...

[foolishjustice]

I could still practically hear your 'awww'.

[Mock huff.]

[hairpincurves]

Can you blame me? It's cute. You're cute. [...] Besides, if I'd said anything like that, would you be reacting any differently?

[foolishjustice]

Not really, but you're already adorable.

[hairpincurves]

[Huff.]

If I can accept being cute, why can't you? It's a good thing!

[... Kurama, the male Akira, and Minato are so, so lucky...]
