moonstrualcycle | no running in the halls!

[i forgot about Nami in that group, whoops; someone she'd never spoken to or seen until everyone was completed again. honestly she wouldn't be surprised if it turned out Nami had a keyblade, look at the people he came from. Isa sighs too. she's exhausted now, and her heart hurts, and all she really wants to do is crawl in bed and use Lea as a pillow for at least ten hours, but she still has doubts about whether that's welcome or not.]

...thank you for not doing that.

[three hours ago there were one-sided tickle fights going on and Isa was being insufferably smug, what on earth happened here. it's like the gif of the guy showing up with pizza but everything's broken and on fire, except they were both here the whole time.]

...yeah.

[ You're welcome, or something. It would be a kind of crummy thing to do, to remove someone's ability to have any privacy at all. Also: Lea and Isa happened here. This is just how it is when they're not 100% good. Disaster. New Hearts and unresolved emotional issues and sexual tension. ]

Well, you can't stop me from talking. Is your Heart overloaded? Mine's beating really fast.

Mine's been overloaded since I woke up in Radiant Garden. A lot of-- hngh.

[where's the button to fastball special Lea into the current timeline so there aren't any more spoilers to worry about? Isa can't talk about much that's been going on, and that sucks a LOT.]

[ Isa's gonna say she wishes Lea was caught up and Lea's just going to disappear. It'll be great. She might hear Lea huff and drop her forehead on the door, again. ]

Is that how we were 'hanging out' back home?

[ Should she be more direct? Time to be more direct. ]

Is that the first time you've kissed me?

[Isa snorts, her head thunking gently against the door again.]

No. It wasn't the first time, I mean. But it hasn't gone further than that.

[yet; sadly. everyone's being really cautious about everything, for obvious reasons, but Isa also has a lot of sexual tension built up. :I ]

[ God, Isa kisses her and it's not even the first time she's kissed her, but it wasn't really her until she goes back home, so they're having their first kiss with each other out of order?

Maybe Lea's first kiss ever, but don't tell.

Don't mind her going silent. Is she radiating heat? Maybe. But it's mostly from her face. She's very aware of her heart suddenly, too. ]

[this is why Lea needs to get out more, get hit with a spell or some cupcakes or something like a normal dressing room resident. /no.]

If it makes you feel better, the first one went about like this too.

[except knowing their luck, someone else probably saw, with a 50% chance of heckling. someone has to do it now that Xigbar's not with them, after all.

[ Well jeez she does get out! Most of the spells she gets hit by are just dumb things, like transformations or horniness. She's done pecks, for jokes, and to harass Riku a little after finding out she had Axel UST, but still.

She might've short-circuited at the knowledge that she's apparently got Isa makeouts in her future, just give her time. ]

You start it or me?

[is it possible to hear someone blushing? Isa's just gonna press her cold hands to her face for a second.]

Nuh-uh, if I tell you you'll be looking for it to happen whenever you go back.

Maybe.

[ Okay, almost definitely, and then it wouldn't happen because she'd just be staring at Isa all the time and there wouldn't be room for something impulsive like that. Or Lea was the one who started it, and she never would because she'd be waiting on Isa. Fuck! She's failed. She can't think about anything else, and now her face is hot and the rest of her is warm all over and she kind of wants to try it again.]

Do you like it?

I don't think it would've happened multiple times if either of us didn't like it.

[spontaneity is the best way for it to happen, anyway. if you go into it planning on doing it you'll just end up so stressed your emotions overload and then no one is happy about it. or your emotions overload anyway and you have to lock yourself in a bathroom, but whatever, it's done now. it sounds a lot like Lea wants to do it again, which accounts for the smug tone in Isa's voice. she's still trying to keep the words neutral enough that it doesn't give away who started it. (it was probably her, let's be real.)]

I know it was your first time there, but did I have the honor of being your first here as well?

[ Oh, she wouldn't know, since smug is just Isa's default. Hmph. Fine then, she sits up and turns around, so that her back is against the bathroom door now too. She can kind of tell Isa's on the same level, and assumes she's doing the same. ]

Two for two. Congratulations.

[ It's sarcastic, but... she doesn't mind. ]

[there's a quiet sound that might be a laugh or might be a sigh, followed by a few moments of nothing. she'll leave it open-ended for it to happen again; she won't push Lea for it at all. Isa knows she made this weird again, but hopefully not too weird.]

...sorry I said those things before. I meant them too, but.

[a huff.]

I didn't need to be cruel about it.

We both were.

[ But so it goes. It happened, she's fine, she'll probably never think about it again in a week or so. That's just how she is. ]

We'll probably fight again. Too much happened back then, I guess.

[meanwhile Isa will get randomly salty about it six months from now. but not really, since they're two basically mature adults who can deal with this shit properly.]

Well. You have permission to dump water on me next time I get like that. I got caught up in remembering where that scar would've come from, and I guess it got to me more than I realized.

You don't need to worry about it, I told you. You were berserk and we were on opposite sides. I get it, though.

[ It's different when there's a permanent visual mark that it happened. Lea still finds herself bothered by it, sometimes. ]

Can't dump water on you if you're locked in the bathroom.

[sounds like they both need to get some of that stuff Kai's made in the past to get rid of scars. there's another huffy noise from in the bathroom, and then Lea'd better use her ears and quit leaning against the door in time, because there's some shuffling and then a click as the door is unlocked and opened. Isa looks contrite, and a little sheepish.]

[ Lea is a dumbass and probably would've just sat there forever if she didn't come out. As it is she pinwheels and ends up mostly balanced on her tailbone, staring up at Isa and also upside down for about 0.5 seconds before she's up on her fee. ]

Better.

[dipshit. here, have an apology noogie from these great biceps you haven't had a chance to appreciate yet, between the freaking out and the arguing.]

Loser.

[ You thought. No, she actually really hasn't had a chance to, and she's not really going to complain about the position she's in but she is turning bright red about the entire situation. After a defeated sigh: ]

What for this time?

I dunno, something, surely. I owe you a lot from the years where it would've been unprofessional to noogie you.

[so there. back home she's been teaching the kiddos how to noogie Lea properly, so that's pretty much the best thing ever. anyway. we were heading for bed before shit got weird. Isa lets go of Lea and then stifles a yawn against the back of her hand.]

Can't argue that...

[ Although it feels like she may be at a disadvantage here. But anyway, she watches Isa for a few seconds, then motions for her to follow. She'd offer her hand, but it's like seven feet to the bed. ]

Come on.

[thank god, she didn't make it excessively weird. probably. hopefully. another yawn, as she follows Lea and climbs groggily into bed.]

I hate being this tired, I didn't even really do anything today. We'd only just started with the frisbee when I ended up here. I guess the emotional stuff is pretty tiring too though.

No, it makes sense. I slept more than usual after I got mine back, if you can believe it.

[Master of naps, this one. She's going to flop down on what is, now, I guess, her side, because it's not like she wants to stay away from Isa now or anything. She's just kind of tactfully avoiding The Other Thing. ]

[they're gonna wake up all tangled around each other again anyway, why avoid it? Isa's already halfway towards being asleep, but snorts at that.]

When did you have time, around the complaining and the life-saving and the getting a keyblade thing?
