[aight fam. this has been a good day so far; nice weather, probably some hanging out with friends for lunch, that sort of thing. so hopefully these two are nice and chill and madly in love with each other in preparation for a scheduled conflict (probably). they've established the fact that they need to discuss some unpleasant topics and clear the air about some things, and now's as good a time as any.

it's evening now, there's cheesy pasta on the kitchen table, and we're gonna sit down and talk about headcanons. put your butt in a chair, Lea.]

[that actually makes Isa laugh a little, the quiet, understated one that she mostly had right after recompleting, like she's afraid someone might hear it. and she cautiously reaches for Lea's hand, because this feels okay again, to her.]

It's true, we were all full of shit for about ten years. And partial Hearts, toward the end.

[ Lea isn't sure whether to be happy she's laughing, or embarrassed from the context. She lets Isa take her hand, but rests her face in the other one, propped up on the back of the couch. She will never escape dweebhood. ]

That's what I'm saying. Anyway... what I said made you go berserk, or...

[that's part of why Isa loves her—]

I was just so angry with you. That you weren't understanding why I was saying what I was saying, or that you would say something like that, no matter how upset you were.

[for context, the last time she was that furious with Lea OR Axel was when she received word that Axel had blown herself up to help Sora get into the castle.]

I'm sorry.

[ She means it, but she also doesn't know what else to say. She was pretty consumed in her own feelings last night, and that hasn't happened (in a negative way) in a while. ]

[Isa's quiet for a moment, working out how to say what she wants to say.]

I just... I did love her, I still have a part of her in me, but I also love you. And none of those things are going to change. I accepted the piece of her Heart because I wanted to, but I also hoped it would help keep you safe, and in a way it did. All her focus was on me, and not you. The physical side of things was a pleasant secondary benefit.

[she tangles her fingers with Lea's and sighs.]

I miss her sometimes, but I wouldn't change what we have here or what we had going back in our proper timeline, not for anything.

[ Oh. Oh, okay. This is good. This is... This more than she expected. Much more, and now she's not hiding her face in embarrassment, but digging her fingers into the sides of her face to try to fight off tears. She's not very good at that sort of thing, of course. ]

[god what a big baby. but she's Isa's big baby, and that's what's important. this isn't precisely the reaction she was expecting, but it probably should have been. Isa's scooting closer to Lea to kiss her on the cheek, and then on the mouth, and then she rests her head on Lea's shoulder.]

[ No it's okay, she's okay now, scrubbing at her face in between kisses. She's not fully in tears, just emotional and upset that this happened at all. She is a big baby though, there's no denying that. ]

Sorry. I definitely overreacted, I just— I knew what was coming and I didn't want to hear it. I didn't even want to start listening to what you were gonna say.

And I knew that and provoked you anyway, which I shouldn't have done, and I'm sorry. But it's worked out alright, I think. I even got a new dweeb for my collection.

[they probably should have decided on some kind of safeword for the original discussion, and from now on they should probably have regularly scheduled primal screams, or deliberately triggered crying sessions, to keep all this shit from bottling up until it blows. maybe they should both take up kickboxing.]

Because you really need more of those.

[ These are all excellent ideas that Isa should vocalize — make your thoughts known out loud! Lea would agree with them, depending on the amount of effort and scheduling she's required to adhere to. Rip to your attention span but I'm different. ]

Now what do we do?

[oh no, don't suggest scheduling, this thread wasn't supposed to have smut in it.]

I think we have regular dates where we stand in the woods and scream, or force each other to have a good cry, or maybe we both learn how to kickbox or something. We can't keep bottling all of this up, it's not good for us, or our relationship.

[she kisses Lea's cheek again and then winds her arms around Lea's neck. she's still a little tired from going berserk, and concerned about the implications of having done so with a full Heart, but as long as they avoid her being that pissed off again it should be okay, right? right.]
