2. “Is there a reason you’re blushing like that?” 

 It was nice to have Misty in town after so long; Aki rarelygot to see her girlfriend since she traveled so often. The two women werespending the day shopping, Misty insisting Aki try on several expensive outfitsand buying them despite Aki’s protests. She felt somewhat guilty about her girlfrienddropping so much money on her, but she also knew Misty could afford suchluxuries with the salary she made as a model. Aki had to admit it was fungetting to basically play adult dress-up, and she was considering changing upher wardrobe anyway. In the back of her mind, Aki promised that she would payMisty back after she graduated from medical school and started her career as adoctor.

Currently, Aki was trying on one of several outfits Misty handedto her from the American-style boutique they were currently perusing. This onewas a fitted maroon dress made almost entirely of lace. Thankfully, the lacewas only see-through around her midsection and at the bottom of the dress toshow off her waist and thighs. If Aki overthought it, she might have figured Mistyhanded her this dress for reasons other than every day fashion, but she knewher girlfriend well enough to know Misty had just grabbed it off the rackbecause the color would suit Aki well.

And it did. The deep red of the dress complimented her verywell, almost matching her hair and blending well with her skin tone. Turning tosee herself at a difference angle in the mirror, Aki noticed almost her entireback was exposed, save for the “X” the dresses straps formed across hershoulder blades and spine. Twisting herself again, Aki noticed that the top ofthe dress covered her chest just enough that she didn’t feel overexposed inthat department, but even so, the dress was more revealing in other places thanshe would have preferred.

Why is American fashion like this? Aki thought to herself.

“Darling, have you tried the next dress on yet?” Misty’swords shook Aki from her thoughts. “It’s been too long since I’ve been blessed byyour beauty.”

“Oh, yes, I’ll be right out,” Aki stumbled a bit as she unlatchedthe lock of the changing room door and stepped out, feeling just a bit sheepishshowing so much skin in public. Part of her wished Misty would just sit in thechanging room with her while she tried clothes on, but she also knew Misty adoredthe dramatic reveal of whatever outfit Aki tried on.

Misty turned up from her phone to gaze at Aki, her eyesgoing wide, which Aki took as a good sign. She posed for her girlfriend,turning this way and that to show off the was the dress accentuated her curvesbefore doing a full spin, the bottom of the dress not even flaring out with asmuch as it clung to her body. After righting herself from the spin, Aki metMisty’s gaze, surprised to find her girlfriend still gaping at her. Usually,Misty would be complimenting up a storm and applauding Aki’s showcase, so itwas odd to find her so silent. Did she not like the dress?

“Um, Misty, are you okay?” Aki inquired, gently placing ahand on Misty’s shoulder. Misty was brought out of her daze at Aki’s touch, herfacing turning bright red at the close proximity. Ah, so that’s it, Akithought, a small smirk forming on her lips. “Is there a reason you’re blushinglike that?”

“Oh! Well, I just, um…” Misty stumbled over her words for afew more seconds before taking a deep breath to try and steady herself. Shelooked directly in Aki’s eyes, she said with the upmost sincerity, “You’re justso stunningly beautiful, Aki. You literally took my breath away when you cameout wearing that dress.”

It was Aki’s turn to flush red now, her face practicallymatching her hair and the dress she was wearing. She could feel the burn of herflustered state reach from the tips of her ears all the way down to her chest. “Oh,ahaha, thank you…” she said lamely. Aki had wanted to keep up the confident actfrom getting Misty so rattled, but she was too flattered from bluntness of sucha genuine compliment that she fell apart, just like the first time Misty hadcalled her beautiful.

Misty laughed, her cheeks still painted pink. “The dressdoes suit you very well, my love.” Rising to her feet, Misty trailed her handsdown from Aki’s shoulders, her fingertips delicately brushing the skin of Aki’sarms, and she grasped both of Aki’s hands in her own. Misty drank in the sightof her girlfriend, top to bottom, and back up again, taking in every detail ofthe way the dress clung to Aki’s body, showing off her midriff and upper thighs.By this point, Misty figured Aki could probably feel the adoration radiating offherself.

“T-Thank you,” Aki stuttered. She could feel the weight ofMisty’s affectionate gaze, as if her girlfriend’s love could actually crushher. It was almost overwhelming, but at the same time, Aki just couldn’t get enough.

Misty reached her hand up, tucking a loose strand of hairbehind Aki’s ear and tenderly cupping her face. Leaning in, Misty kissed Aki’slips, every ounce of her energy holding her back from putting to much passioninto the kiss while they were still out in public. Aki returned the kiss, squeezingMisty’s hands that still held onto hers. Both women could feel the heat oftheir still blushes radiating off each other, melting into the feeling of oneanother.

After what felt like could have been either seconds or days,Misty pulled back, placing a chaste kiss to Aki’s forehead. “I love you, Akidear.”

“I love you, too,” Aki mumbled, her mind buzzing from theheat of the kiss. She kissed Misty on the cheek before letting go of hergirlfriend’s hands. “I suppose I have other dresses to still try on.”

“I suppose you do,” Misty responded, sitting back down onthe seat outside the dressing room. “Are you going to get that one?”

Aki turned on her heel, walking back towards the door to thedressing room, her fingers brushing against the handle. “I think I just might,”she said, giving Misty a look over her shoulder as she opened the door andentered the small room.

Funnily enough anon, I saw these Million Live cards when looking for bases in advance for this event and was already planning on doing Aki/Misty edits with them! I haven’t seen 5Ds, but based on what I know I feel like I would like this ship a lot.

He sighs, leaning back against her back.

“How long have they been going at it?” he asks.

She checks her watch.  “Fifteen minutes now.”

“What is the argument this time?”

“Where we should go out to eat.”

“Right.”

“And I’m telling YOU that that goddamn fancy ass french restaurant fucking sucks!” Kiryu shouts.  “They give you like, three bites!”

“It’s gourmet!  You need to appreciate the flavor!” Sherry snaps back.

“We could make a compromise and go to the French restaurant near the harbor, they serve more food per person--” Misty tries to interject.

“I can’t appreciate it if it doesn’t fill me up, you hag!  We’re going for Thai and that’s final!”

Aki sighs.  “Think we should just sneak off on our own and let them catch up?”

“Maybe.  Let’s give them five more minutes.”

Why are they so gay..?
