Original Event - 'Help wanted' || Mid Aphro

[rosybangs]

Aki Izayoi stepped nervously from side to side, hands teasing at the bottom hem of her dress. She'd dropped the Duel Disk in one of the cupboards of the room she was in, in order to not have to lug around a weight like that for the forseeable future, now that she'd claimed this room for herself.

Wasn't like she was going to need it, for what was

Sasami couldn't help but look at the help wanted sign in confusion. It was the first time she had seen something like this, and she couldn't help but to be amused. It seemed innocent enough, right? With that in mind, she took the ad and headed for the room.

Approaching it, she knocked at the door, hoping to get the person's attention. "Um... e-excuse me? I saw your ad... may I come in?"

[rosybangs]

Aki froze.

As in, jolted bolt upright in the middle of her pacing, and stopped breathing.

She forced herself to calm down, and looked over to Sasami, managing a weak smile.

"Y-yes. P-please do."

She still hadn't moved.

[cookingoddess]

Opening the door and stepping inside, Sasami saw the red head before her... seemingly looking terrified. She was scared about something, so it was best for her to calm her down.

"Hey, it's okay... I'm not going to hurt you!" she reassured

[rosybangs]

"I-I'm not scared! Really!", Aki almost squeaked.

[cookingoddess]

Sasami couldn't help but chuckle at Aki. She was scared and it was endearing. "It's okay. You can calm down... there's no one else here and I'm not going to do anything, alright?"

She approached the red head and reached to take her hands to reassure her.

[rosybangs]

Aki nervously took her hands, taking a deep breath, trying to calm herself.

"U-um. Yes. Well. D-do you know what I asked for?"

[cookingoddess]

Sasami nodded a bit as she was asked that question.

"You needed help in thanking a friend." she said. "Now, here's the thing: how well do you know your friend? Did you just meet them or was it someone whom you've known for a long time?"

[rosybangs]

Aki thought on her answer.

"I-it's complicated. According to her, she knew a version of me for almost a year, but I only knew her briefly before I came her. And there, she was a he..."

[cookingoddess]

Sasami nodded a bit as she heard the answer. Alternate universes - always a problem.

"I see... and even then, you want to show them your thanks." Sasami said. A brief chuckle left her lips. "Ever tried just giving her a hug? Or maybe a kiss?"

There was a hint of teasing there, but with how nervous Aki was acting, she wasn't sure if she was going to take that truthfully...!

I'm back. From the longest freaking hiatus ever. Um, sorry?

[rosybangs]

"A k-k-k-k-kiss?", Aki squeaked out, her face turning an adorable shade of crimson that matched her hair colour quite neatly.

Wha-what? But she wasn't even sure if Yuusei wanted that kind of thanks, nor if she would even accept that kind of thanks from someone like Aki...

*pats* It's okay...!

[cookingoddess]

Sasami laughed at Aki's reaction. Poor girl seemed so innocent about it all and it was understandable. Approaching her, she gently took her hand.

"It's alright." Sasami said. "You don't have to go that far... unless you've never done so. Have you?"

Thank you. It's good to have nice online friends like you. ^^;

[rosybangs]

Aki, still blushing heavily, shook her head demurely. "N-n-no. I've never really been close to someone..."

[cookingoddess]

Sasami nodded a bit in understand. "I see. Would you... like to practice?"

There was a hint of teasing in her voice, but she couldn't help it. Someone like Aki, being all bashful. It was cute.

[rosybangs]

"P-p-practice how?", she asked squeakily, still awkward and unsure.

[cookingoddess]

"Just close your eyes, and I'll show you, okay?"

[rosybangs]

Aki shook slightly out of nervousness, but closed her eyes nonetheless.

"..."

She puckered up adorably incorrectly, tense and with her hands clasped before her.
