“I’d like to say I’m glad I’m not the guy who has to clear this mess up, but I am.” (From @electriceccentric for Shingo or Emi!)

Emi winced at the comment, looking away from her father with her arms crossed. The one time her temper got the best of her and she ended up not only shocking the teen that was harassing her, but also unintentionally causing a whole power outage at the nearby arcade. Possibly malfunctioning a few of their machines in the process. Part of her was relieved that she was ‘in disguise’ during the whole thing, shame it didn’t help her avoid all of this.

@electriceccentric vc: Emi did you know that Atheism is a non-prophet organization?

"Ughh, why couldn’t I have had invisibility instead of electricity...”

She wasn't supposed to be back here -- doubly so in the middle of a round. But Beni's opponent had been landing too many hits, and she wasn't about to wait for the announcers to say whether he was alright or not. Polly threw the locker room door open and raced to his side. "Hey -- hey, you okay?" She placed her hands gently on either side of his jaw, turning his face this way and that. "Are you okay?"

He would lie, of course, and say he was. She didn't trust him to tell her the truth, and that swelling around his eye was absolutely going to bruise. Polly frowned. She stopped looking Beni over to look in his eyes, searching for any kind of pain or anger. Regardless of what she found, she leaned in, pressing a kiss to his lips more roughly than perhaps was appropriate, considering the cut that was only barely starting to heal over.

Looking back, it's achingly obvious that Beni was flirting with her from the start. How she'd missed it was anyone's guess. Polly stayed close to him as they walked, keenly aware of the way their hands brushed when she stepped an inch too close -- or was it intentional on his end? She could hardly think straight anymore, stuck in circles trying to figure out if Beni was trying to make a move or just being himself.

Or was himself always trying to make a move?

She didn't even realize how long she'd been staring at him, brows raised and half furrowed, before he confronted her on it. Polly flushed, stammering a few senseless syllables to defend herself. "I -- ehm -- well I--" She couldn't lie and say she hadn't been staring after all. "I was just thinking..."

Her gaze flicked to his lips. Was he wearing some sort of gloss? It wouldn't surprise her if he was. The thought tumbled out before she knew what she was doing, and she asked -- "What flavor is your lip gloss?"

If she had been smarter, it would have been a clever line. But ultimately, it only led to Polly turning bright red, and trying to backtrack -- and going silent when Beni offered to let her taste it.

After more senseless stuttering, she managed to nod helplessly, and let herself fall into the kiss, heart thrumming in her chest, cheeks bright red. Her eyes fluttered shut on their own accord, hand finding his and squeezing lightly. And by the time they finally parted, she was almost dizzy, drunk off the taste of him.

It took a moment to find her thoughts again, for a surprised, joyful giggle to burst forth. "Is that cherry?"

Part of her bristles at the very idea of someone insulting her herald, much less one of the men she loves. She knew things would be different with Beni -- there was no avoiding that, once her memories returned. Once they'd returned her to her throne, once her roots had begun to grow in. And yet, she had hoped against hope that this would be an easy relationship to maintain. Despite the complications, they loved each other, and she desperately wanted that to be enough.

"Are you disappointed?" she asked, trying to tease him. "I thought you'd like the fact that you're the only graceful man in my life, as well as the most beautiful." But the shop girl she'd once been regretted the comment instantly. Guilt sat heavy in her stomach, and she reached out to take Beni's hand.
