[ she beams but it turns a little sad at hearing that. gotta love having a shitty time growing up!! but we're not gonna think about that while they have delicious treats to eat! ]
It's gonna stop working if you overdo it.
[ her own large bites look dainty compared to his ]
[ it's terrible how fond she is seeing this. denji, ur mustache ]
Late enough. But it's fine, I got totally healed! [ that's why she keeps clearing her throat and coughing every so often. that i conveniently didn't need to mention at trial ] Ice cream heals all wounds after all.
[he looks down at their hands, at the intertwined fingers all next to each other and connected
his heart racing in a way that feels loud enough to be heard in the quiet room, his thoughts start to focus into should I? do it, should I over and over
so before that can get embarrassingly out of hand he reaches up with his other hand and tilts her face towards his
[ her own thoughts are just a catastrophe of windows error noises, video game achievement sounds, and just a very low undercurrent of aaaAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaa but-
it quiets when he touches her cheek and she looks up at him, the usual mischievous look lingering upon her face turning gentle.
[he kisses her, almost cautiously but gently and softly—a simple ice-cream flavored kiss from someone who wants nothing more than to just feel the touch of someone's lips against their own
pochita politely looks away
after a minute, denji pulls back, his face still close and cheeks blazing red]
[ it's such a simple little thing and yet it feels so life changing. she's gone from someone so lost to someone full of experiences in such a short time yet this one.... this one gives her such warm happy bubbles when he pulls away Futaba immediately clutches her cheeks, face just as neon.
[her reaction, her face, the thought, it's all so overwhelmingly cute that without any hesitation he kisses her again, this time pulling her a little closer, as if to hold onto her
I wish this had been my first kiss...
and before we leave them—if we want—to their shy teen kisses, ice cream eating, and a few more borrowed, carefree moments, denji looks at her]
When I come back, whenever that is, would you wanna date...like, for real?
[ the slight reminder that all of this is temporary, that whatever they have budding right now has a high possibility of just popping like the bubbles of her thoughts- well, it's sure one way to bring her back to reality.
she leans against him though, wishing that they could just explore this.... relationship? without the doom of damocles hanging over their head. ]
Yeah... I think... I think I'd like that.
[ wait till she tells Sojiro she managed to find a boyfriend...!
but for now, she's content in enjoying his company and the melting ice cream, grabbing hold and making her own happiness in the middle of so much pain and heartache. ]
[denji, who tries so very hard to force his mind to stay far, far away from thoughts of his awful past or uncertain future, can't help but find himself wishing for all kinds of things beyond right now—that he'd faced up to her sooner, that maybe they can leave here together after everything and just be...normal...
at some point, he'll try to convince her to go sleep, but I also want to slide in here that at some point they get into a whipped cream fight]

Well, uh, then at least you better eat as much ice cream as I am! Food helps ya heal up and you can get a buncha sleep tonight.

Date: 2021-07-25 05:05 am (UTC)Y-yeah!! I'm gonna eat so much ice cream. It'll keep me cool for the summer!

You know...when we had that first date, I started thinkin' stuff like maybe I could finally go on normal dates with a cute girl—no Devils or anything.
[there's a jumble of voices in his head, all of them remembered calls of people trying to hold him down when he was losing control]
Guess I never learned my lesson about dreamin' for too much.

Date: 2021-07-25 05:50 am (UTC)[ there's a little quirk of a smile. but she's very much not looking at his direction when she firmly laces their fingers ]
This place has been so shitty in so many ways but... I'm glad that we had this. I-I'm glad that I met you.
