let's make a date

Who: Rakka and Raye.
What: A couple tries to go on an actual date for once
Where: Locke City
When: March 23rd

There were many things Rakka thought about nowadays. Certain things were more serious then others. Her developing Precure powers, Fougere and the Heart tree. The Doppelgangers, causing trouble for everyone else-- her run in with the Doppelganger calling herself Raye had left the Haibane pretty shaken, to say the least.

It had been a close call, but Rakka was just happy to be back with the Dians. She could have joined the others in Vegas or Europe, but someone had to remain here. Just in case. And she was fine with staying in Locke, even with the growing tension in the air.

Something was coming, something big. Rakka could tell. It wasn't a stretch to say that everything they'd been through must be leading up to something. Saretha's theory about the aliens and doppelgangers only cemented that idea in her mind. More and more recently, her thoughts drifted, thinking about what may happen in the near future. There could be a war, one day; a fierce enemy that she would fight against, alongside her friends....

Frankly these thoughts were... very stressful, exhausting as well. So she changed her train of thought to other things. Like, well, Raye. Her Raye.

And a thought began to form. She pursed her lips together, hands already around her phone.

She couldn't remember if Raye was busy at the moment; as much as the couple talked, Raye was someone that jumped from situation to situation. It was too late to reconsider, though, she was already dialing her girlfriend's number. The dial tone rung in her ear once, twice, then she spoke.

"... Hi, Raye. Are you there? It's me, Rakka..."

"Yeah, knows what he's doin'." She mumbled around a mouthful of KitKat

So far, so good. The movie was pretty alright so far but even if it was lousy, sitting here with Rakka would've made up for it. She settled in, and grinned to herself as senses honed from many hours watching many scary movies warned her of an approaching jump scare. Probably a zombie jumping out of somewhere, no big-

A few other people in the audience joined Rakka in reacting. There were a few jumps, a few more squeaks of surprise, and Raye....

Well, Raye Satterfield does not squeak, so there's that. But Rakka would probably end up jostled a bit as Raye jumped in her seat, arms and legs flying up in front of her half-defensively and half to cover her eyes while she shrieked....

... Like a girl.

It wasn't entirely true that Rakka picked this movie simply on a whim. It was a zombie movie, and usually, even funny zombie movies had scary moments. Surely, it would make the perfect opportunity to snuggle with Raye, her girlfriend protecting her from the scary things on the screen. How romantic would that be....

But that wasn't going to happen. Rakka was freaked out by it, as much as she would have been by any jumpscare she'd watch on youtube behind a blanket. She was not expecting to be jostled in her seat, snacks sent flying through the air by Raye jumping and... shrieking?

Truthfully, that reaction was even scarier then the jumpscare. "R-raye! Are y-you okay? What's wrong?!"

Was it aliens?! Something she couldn't see attacking them?!

It wasn't a bad plan, really. One Raye would have happily played her role in. After all, she'd been watching movies that were way scarier and way more gory than this since she was a kid but that didn't really seem like Rakka's type of movie. It could've been a good chance for some quality snuggling.

Until that stupid thing had shown up on the screen, with its horrible smile and crazed look in its eyes.

Snacks went up in the air and fell back down. Not that Raye noticed with her hands over her eyes. She heard Rakka's voice, heard the movie carry on and slowly chanced a peek over her fingers to see things back to normal. She gulped, slowly lowered her hands and answered.

"Nothing. I'm okay." She tried to keep her voice from shaking too much. With mixed results.

Before Rakka's eyes, the snacks flew through the air, raining down in slow motion. They were so young... and probably delicious. In the far-off distance, Ave Maria played.

But enough of that silliness. Something more important had caught Rakka's attention, as well as her concern. She frowned, gazing at Raye. For now, the movie was temporarily forgotten.

"Raye... You screamed." Rakka whispered. The sound was still ringing in her mind, and Raye's attempt at consoling her did little to help. "... you sounded scared."

The snacks were too beautiful for this world. Too good, too pure.

For now though, Raye looked back at Rakka for a moment before shifting her eyes away. She hadn't... screamed, really. Well, okay, maybe a little. Sort of. She frowned a little bit, straightening in her seat and clearing her throat in a quest to reclaim a little dignity.

The dark theater helped with that a little, since it was hard to make out the red spreading across her face.

"I-it's no big deal or anything. It was just... uh..." she whispered back, paused for a moment and then the next part came out in an even lower, quick mumble, "I'mkindascaredofclownsisall... alittle."

They would be missed. And possibly refilled at the concession stand.

The dark was slightly negated by Rakka's halo, which cast a soft glow on the both of them. It wasn't much, just enough for her to notice the red on Raye's face and look a little closer as she adverted her gaze.

She would be the only other person in the theater to hear Raye's quick mumbling. And it took a moment before the words clicked in Rakka's mind. Then, her eyes widened. "Raye..."

Yup, now she was really concerned. Rakka leaned over and wrapped an arm around Raye's arm. Even in the darkness of the theater, it was likely Raye could see the apologetic look on her face.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Raye. I didn't know that was in the movie..." She paused, frowning a little. "...Or that you were afraid of clowns."

Maybe it was a silly thing to get embarrassed over... but then, if you asked her it was a silly thing to get scared over. She couldn't really be blamed for feeling a little defensive about it... after all, who wouldn't laugh at the tough, scary girl losing her shit over some guy in some makeup?

So, she blinked a bit when she felt Rakka lean over again and take her arm, looking back at her. Well, she never thought Rakka would laugh at her, of course, but she hadn't expected her to look so... sorry. It was at least enough to get a small laugh from her as she leaned forward to kiss her forehead.

"It's fine. I'm really okay." She shrugged. "Besides, it's not like I went around telling anyone about it."

Rakka wasn't losing her shit over it, quite the opposite, really. She was shocked, obviously, how could she not be? Her big, tough girlfriend had a fear of clowns. Of course, she understood why she wouldn't say anything about it.

And it wasn't as though it was really Rakka's fault... not that that stopped her from feeling at least a little bad about it. But then she heard Raye's subtle laughter, and felt her kiss her forehead. It got her to feel better, a bit.

"...Okay, if you say so." She trusted her. It didn't mean she would stop leaning against Raye, though. There had to be a good snuggling position again. "I just never imagined... clowns."

There really did. She was already feeling enough like a goof for freaking out and snuggling was a good way to get past that. Of course, the arm closest the Rakka was currently taken up so she shifted a little, turning toward her to move her free arm to Rakka's shoulders.

"Yeah." She shrugged a little, glancing away again. "It's just some crap from when I was a kid. It's kinda stupid now, I guess, after everything."

"Hmm..." As Raye glanced away, Rakka took the opportunity to peck Raye on the cheek. Also, the hand attached to the arm wrapped around Raye's arm, crept down to slide her fingers between Raye's. "That's okay. I mean, I'm scared of a lot of stuff, and some of it's silly."

Some of it's not. But that's only natural in her opinion.

She perked up a bit at the kiss on her cheek, and closed her hand around Rakka's. She shifted in her seat, turning to face her and scooted a little closer, doing away with whatever bit of space was left between them and leaned her head on the seat, smiling at her across the short distance between them. Her hand drifted from Rakka's shoulder, and around her back to find her wing again.

On screen there was a bloody zombie massacre going on, but it was starting to become more and more just so much background noise.

"Well... if any of that stuff shows up, just point it out and I'll take care of it. Even clowns, just for you." She paused, considering. "... Might have to do that last one with my eyes closed, but I'll do it anyway."

Rakka let out a laugh, raising a hand over her mouth to stifle it. They were still in a theater, after all. "Thanks, Raye. And... if clowns ever attack, I'll help you take them on."

There was certainly a movie going on in the background, and the sounds of gunfire and zombie noises managed to reach Rakka's ears. Right now, it seemed irrelevant. Especially as Raye was so close now, just a few inches between them.

It was the perfect time for Rakka to lean in for another kiss. Hey, not like much was happening at the moment in the movie anyways.

A grin spread across Raye's face and she chuckled, less concerned about the rest of the audience, but still trying to keep from making too much racket. For Rakka's sake.

"Clowns're all yours."

It looked like they had the same idea at the same time. Raye met her when she leaned in, pressing her lips to hers. Her free hand slid around to Rakka's back, giving Rakka's hand a gentle squeeze with the other.

Yeah, this was way more interesting than the movie right now.

Great minds thought alike, it would seem. Especially when it came to kissing, which Rakka was more then happy to oblige Raye on. She let herself lean in, deepening the kiss as both of them got closer. No one was going to even think of paying them any mind back here, anyways.

For the moment, things were different. They were just two girls on a date. No end of the world scenarios, just kisses.

She slid an arm around Raye as well, being careful not to knock over anything. Slowly, Rakka broke the kiss just long enough to speak. "We should go on more dates after this. This is fun."

They were definitely on the same page here then. Raye leaned closer, feeling Rakka's arm move around her. This place had been a good choice, with the armrest folded up there was nothing getting in between them as she pulled Rakka against her.

The movie had already faded into the background. As had any worries about wars or fighting. For now, it was just her and Rakka... and who the hell had time to worry about those things when there was a pretty girl to kiss right here?

"... Yeah." She didn't quite pull back when Rakka broke the kiss, hovering close enough to snatch another quick kiss before continuing. "... We definitely gotta do this more often."

The theater had been an excellent choice. Rakka hadn't suspected the folding armrest to be so helpful on their date, but there was nothing to complain about, at all.

Once again, she was in the comfort of Raye's arms, bringing her own arm around Raye's side. Here, she could relax. Surrounded by the sweet scent of junkfood and kisses.

Really, the movie was just a bonus.

She smiled into the next kiss, letting it linger for a brief moment until they were broken apart again. "Maybe... somewhere different, next time. We can order pizza and hang out at your place." Anywhere was fine, as long as Raye was there with her.
