Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

The weather was still lovely, of course. And there were all these neat tables of moddable snackies to help break those awkward silences that were so common with teenage get-togethers.

So... yeah.

Enjoy!

Oh, absolutely! You had to be stubborn. You had to be strong, and know what you want and go for it! You had--

Ariel's firm, rallying expression screeched to a halt at Rinoa's last question. She bit her lip, a sudden embarrassed sheepishness taking over her. She shrunk back, just a little, in a way that made it clear that the answer was, regrettably, no.

But, Ariel pulled herself up resolutely, pounding a determined fist in the air, that was going to change.

Well, maybe not a boyfriend. She didn't know if she really wanted a boyfriend. But at least the kiss of true love. That would be all hers.

"It's okay," Rinoa said quickly, echoing the fist-pump. "That'll change soon. I mean, look at you. You have amazing hair. I've only had one boyfriend, anyway, and I'm not entirely sure if he counts, but I think he does, so he should, right?"

Seifer was really not the type for 'so, let's define our relationship!' conversations.

It absolutely counted! Ariel nodded resolutely. And while Rinoa's relationship status with her brooding little paramour was very interesting and Ariel was totally rooting for them, Rinoa's words were putting an idea into her head. She bit her lip, thinking of how best to ask.

She held up one finger, to catch Rinoa's attention and let her know that she had very important to say.

She pointed to Rinoa, mouthed as precisely as she could the word help, and then pointed to herself. She then brought her hand up to her eyes, as if shielding them from the sun as the looked around , to find something as it were. Then she pointed toward the sort-of-boyfriend, and then brought the pointer fingers of both her hands together, pressing them and moving them back and forth, making kissing sounds all the while.

And if that worked, Ariel was going to seriously consider a career as a successful professional charades player.

Excuse Rinoa for the immature gigglefit she was having over the kissy noises, please? Because those were adorable.

"You ... want someone to kiss you?" Rinoa asked. The other interpretation that had occurred to her was that Ariel wanted to kiss her not-really-boyfriend, and that seemed like a weird thing to ask. "You've never been kissed?"

Well, Ariel didn't want to just kiss anyone. She held out her hands a little in an effort to express that. It did have to be a kiss of true love, but, yeah, Rinoa generally got the gist of it. So she nodded, and looked at the other girl frankly so that she knew it was super important.

And if Rinoa could help her find that kiss of true love, then Rinoa would, without a doubt, be the best friend that Ariel had ever had and only known for about five minutes.

"You have standards," Rinoa said, guessing wrong entirely but catching some of the gist. "Can't just be any guy. Right, we can work with that."

Rinoa was big on romance. And gratuitous kissing, as well.
