pulse, and other, open mingle (12-7 to whenever)

[ex_resound725]

[Wowee! We get hit with a pulse on the seventh! Isn't that fun! Also, a ship crashed, and baby it's cold inside. Some prompts.

A: Pulse: A pulse hit the planet! Life support went out, and that super sucks, but it will only last for an hour. Maybe more sucky: some or all of your powers may or may not have died! That's awkward. Are you disappointed you can't walk through walls now? Has nothing changed for you? Are you now a dead girl because you made a deal some aliens? Are you a sword? Have fun kids, and try not to hold a Class Trial.

B: Salvage: That sure was a ship that went down! URSULA identified it as the Narcissus which is apparently a human military ship so obviously this will be safe and no one is going to come across any type of trouble salvaging the ship. Maybe someone should text Naoko to tell her what's going on. Everything is fine.

C: Blanket-sharing meme: You know what you're here for.

D: ETC: Roxy is putting up mistletoe, there are flowers, people keep building stupid things. Do whatever!]

That's not important!

[oneandmikleonly]

It's very important!

[reaches up to try to snag it and have a look]

[imsorey]

No it's not! I don't think you're supposed to argue about why there's mistletoe, it ruins the tradition.

[letting him take it; it looks a little smushed so it hasn't been there too...long...probably...]

[oneandmikleonly]

[...sighs after a moment and tosses the mistletoe towards the observatory ceiling in a bubble of water; it freezes above their heads. the corner of his mouth is twitching despite his best efforts]

We argue about most traditions a little; did you think mistletoe was going to be an exception?

[imsorey]

I was hoping it would be?

[stopping his exaggerated sighing when Mikleo throws the mistletoe up though. he can't keep the fondness out of his voice despite his best efforts to sound put-upon]

[oneandmikleonly]

Well.

[leaning in gently]

I think we both win this one.

[imsorey]

I guess we can call it a tie.

[reaching over and tilting Mikleo's chin up enough to give him a light kiss, his lips barely brushing Mikleo's before pausing to gauge Mikleo's reaction

and then he gives him another kiss, like an actual kiss, just because he can]

[oneandmikleonly]

[he smiles against Sorey's mouth at the first kiss, eyes bright and expression hopelessly charmed for the moment Sorey's looking: this is our life, these are our choices, I am feeling no regrets about any of them just now because they led us to this moment--

the second one takes him more by surprise, but he doesn't lose that smile, drawing Sorey closer, both of them feeling that new experience out.]

[imsorey]

[in theory, Sorey has read plenty of romance novels and has heard enough about kissing (thanks Zaveid) that he should know how to kiss without making an idiot of himself

in reality, Sorey is a little too enthusiastic for his own good. but he manages to not do anything mortifying; he's just really excited about kissing.]

[oneandmikleonly]

[Mikleo doesn't really know what to do about lips touching either (hearsay and book learning are just not the same as practical experience, for these things, and it's not like he had anyone else to practice on) but he tries to keep it calm and sweet and easy, temper Sorey's enthusiasm.

...the result is kind of damp and clumsy. Mikleo's shellshocked afterwards, anyway]

O-oh.

[imsorey]

[putting a hand over his mouth to stop himself from laughing, but a giddy smile is still spilling through his fingers in an obvious way]

Oh?

[oneandmikleonly]

[puts a hand over his mouth, blush creeping all the way down his face]

Y-you need more practice.

[imsorey]

[completely unabashed about this fact]

Of course I do. It's not something you can apply theories to and hope it works out. Well, you might be able to, but I don't think we have the right kind of reading material for that.

[oneandmikleonly]

[tries to throttle a laugh behind his hand; it comes out as a muffled protesting noise]

I mean--do you want to.

[imsorey]

...Yes? If you want to, that is.

[oneandmikleonly]

Of course I want to! I wouldn't ask if I didn't!

[imsorey]

Well, yeah, I kind of figured that when you wanted to kiss in the first place, but I wasn't sure if it was something you wanted to take slow or just jump right into.

[oneandmikleonly]

What do you want to do?

[imsorey]

My feelings aren't going to change regardless of what we do.

[it goes without saying that, to him, there's no reason to hesitate]

But that's something we both have a say in, not just me.

[oneandmikleonly]

...I've wanted to since you showed up on Halloween in that--that ridiculous outfit--

[imsorey]

I think you meant to say dashing attire.

[oneandmikleonly]

Lipstick on a pig, Sorey.

[imsorey]

Don't be jealous that I actually got to dress up for the occasion. I'm sure we can get you a matching costume next time.

[oneandmikleonly]

I--I--I don't need a matching costume!

[they are drifting rapidly off topic]

[imsorey]

[it's mikleo's fault]

It doesn't hurt to dress up for the occasion!
