Featuring Ships: Tae Hanazono X Chisato Shirasagi

--------------------------------------

With her vision dimmed by a pair of darkened lenses, Chisato looked up at the sun, from underneath the safety of the silhouette casting by her parasol. The bright sun combined with the shade of both the parasol and the sunglasses, served to hypnotize the blonde. 

As the hours ticked by, Chisato's pink eyes started to droop and her mind slowed down considerably, as the sun's rays got absorbed onto her beach towel, almost feeling like a makeshift blanket and fireplace, but for the summer, which only serve to .

Chisato: (internally) I guess catching up on my rest wouldn't hurt me...the paparazzi are definitely going to be catching an eyeful...if they knew that I was here...

Before she knew it, it didn't take long for sleepiness to quickly overtake the system of the actress, as her mind drifted off from the beach to the dream world she thought she long since abandoned, and there was no one but herself, the calming warmth of the sun, and the distant sound of the crashing waves. 

....

???: (happily) Aw, yes...She's a beauty...I really did a great job capturing all of her perfect angles.

Chisato had no idea how much time as past, but at this point, her priorities were elsewhere. In her sleep, Chisato's ears perked up, as she smiled internally at the praise being thrown her way. While Chisato generally has a disdain for the invasiveness and empty praises of the paparazzi, she smiled internally at the precense of a paparazzi that wasn't trying to invade her space. A presence that was much like Kaoru in her oddness and poetic tendencies, only set apart by how intentionally profound-sounding they seem to the uninitiated, in a way, functioning much like Kaoru's antithesis. Even with her eyes closed and her mental capacities all but shut off, she knew exactly who that airy and affectionate tone of voice belonged to.

Tae: (smiling) Aw, yes. My masterpiece is almost complete, but it simply isn't the same without my queen of hearts.

At the hearing of her favorite pet name, Chisato was barely able to resist, as she sadly had to depart from the dream world, and float back down to reality. Her eyes fluttered back open, to witness a familiarly warm and welcoming sight. 

Her girlfriend in all of her glory, with a proud-looking smile and a camera in her hands. 

Upon Chisato's awakening, Tae's eyes were taken off the camera for a moment, as she waved at her girlfriend, although the blonde can detect a sense of disappointment in the darker-haired girl's features, as Chisato quickly got up and undid the odd pose that the blonde was absolutely sure she didn't fall to sleep in.

Chisato: (smirking and posing) Why, hello there. If my little white rabbit wants, I suppose I could stand up so you could get a better shot for your album. Although, consent to take my picture would've been very much appreciated.

Tae only responded by lowering and shaking her head "no", as the dissapointment on Tae's features were made far more apparent. Confused at Tae's reaction, Chisato tried to look around to spot whatever is making her girlfriend upset, her features hardened, just in case the cause was living. However, looking around her, all Chisato could see are rabbit-shaped mounds of sand, a couple of which were displaced by her stirring.

As one particular mound of sand with a circle drawn on one of the eyes caught Chisato's attention, recollection quickly filled Chisato's features, as memories of Tae's desire to build "Hanazono Land" quickly made home in her head, and guilt quickly stewed in her guts.

Chisato: (looking away, frowning) My apologies, O-Tae-chan. I had no idea of just what you were working on. It was truly uncharacteristic of me to jump to conclusions like that. If you want, I could just sit back down...

It didn't take long for the gears in Tae's head to rapidly turn, as a smile quickly reappeared on her face.

Tae: (smiling) No worries, my queen! This actually gives me a great idea.

Chisato: (pensively) I suppose it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that this would be a collaborative effort between the two of us?

Tae: (with a determined look on her face) Oh, you know it.

...

Around an hour has passed since the new project was complete, and the two girls would soon part ways, as they headed back to their respective homes. The train roared as it sped across the tracks. Chisato knew that getting too captivated by the picture would mean she would miss her usual stop, but resistance was ultimately futile, for her smile only grew larger the more she gazed at the picture. 

WIth her yellow beach towel wrapped around her shoulders like a cape and an oddly shaped shell functioning as her crown, and going oddly well with her pink two-piece, her arm was wrapped around her girlfriend, who was standing proud and tall over the sand bunnies, and wearing a similar outfit as Chisato, but with two long strands of seaweed in her hair alongside the matching crown meant to replicate bunny ears, and her blue blanket complimenting her sleek black one-piece. Surrounding the couple are sand sculptures of all 20 of Tae's rabbits, and flanking the rabbits are four replicas of Leon. When Tae suggested adding "guard dogs" to protect Hanazono Land, Chisato's inner caniphile simply couldn't resist the opportunity.

Chisato: (smiling, internally) Oh my little white rabbit...just like back during last year's White Day...there's never a dull moment when you're around.

The sonorous announcement rang through the train, as the blonde snapped out of her recollection and departed from the station. 

Chisato: (jokingly) You know, O-Tae-Chan. You call yourself a mere white rabbit, but I feel as though Queen of Hearts would be a better epithet for you.
