As they approached the ice cream parlor, Ran finally started getting her excitement under control. Ryu was still looking super handsome, with a presence that made her feel all tingly in the best way, but not even the Shard could keep her from wanting to roll her eyes as Ryunosuke’s continued to talk reverently about Parfaits.
“I mean, parfaits have so many layers. And back in the shop the girl customers like to talk about all their layers. . . I mean. . .” Ryunosuke continued to babble as she walked beside Ran.
“Oh look there’s the shop!” Ran declared with an extended finger.
“Yes! Finally!” Ryunosuke declared.
Ran looked sideways at Ryu, then turned her head to look closer. “Are you alright?” Ran asked, leaning in, noticing how teary eyed Ryunosuke had suddenly gotten.
“No, I’m good,” Ryunosuke responded, raising a hand to wipe the tears from ‘his’ eyes. “It’s just, I’ll be able to see what a parfait tastes like without pops stealing it with some stupid ‘eat like a man!’ speech.”
Ran looked for a moment, confused by the unfamiliar supportive feeling she was experiencing. Then with a grin she grabbed Ryu’s hand again and stepped toward the shop with a raised hand and a declaration of “Parfait!” that Ryu instantly copied.
Several feet back from the pair, two figures in matching trench coats, black hats and sunglasses looked around opposite sides of a small tree toward the Ice cream shop.
“Hmm, so Ryunosuke’s plan of seduction begins with Ice cream it seems,” Ataru commented as he pulled forward his sunglasses to look over the top of them.
Lum just stared silently then turned her head to ask, “Darling, what’s a parfait?”
Ataru pushed back his sunglasses and leaned against the tree. “It’s a treat combining layers of Ice cream and fruit and other stuff, everyplace has their own variant.”
“And humans think they taste good?” Lum asked in a thoughtful tone.
“Most of the girls I’ve known love them,” Ataru responded.
“I’d like to try one,” Lum declared.
“Ok, stealthy advance.” Ataru commented in response, then raised his hand at the sound of a commotion in the restaurant. “Or at least advance after things quiet down.”
Kaori sat at a table, scowling as she looked from her nearly finished parfait to the door to the ice cream parlor. Once more she noted the absence of her boyfriend Hiroshi and looked back to her parfait. ’I’ll meet you there,’ he said, ‘Promise I won’t be late this time’ he said.’ Scooping out another spoonful of Parfait she popped it into her mouth.
’Come in time to pay for this parfait and you may earn a tiny bit of forgiveness Hiroshi,’ Kaori thought as she contemplated another spoonful. Looking up to see Hiroshi still wasn’t in the shop, she shifted her hand to consider her watch to note just how late he was, then with a few scrapes of her spoon she popped the last bite of parfait into her mouth.
’Ok,’ she thought to herself as she stood up, parfait glass in one hand. ’Let’s just. . .’ Her annoyed contemplation was interrupted by a couple stepping into the shop just ahead of her. She immediately stepped sideways, only remembering as her foot came down that the floor there had just been mopped. As her foot slid she threw out her arms to try and keep her balance, and one hand grabbed someone else.
A few seconds later she was taking a quick breath and noticing that she had finally come to a halt. She was lying on the top of the person she’d grabbed ahold of, though positioning meant she was looking at the floor while. . .
“Ah, excuse. . .” the person who’s face her breasts were pressing down against started to say.
“Eeeee!” Kaori proclaimed as she pushed herself to her hands and knees and fast crawled backward. “You. . . you . . .” Her instinctive angry retort faded as she saw who she had just been rubbing herself against. “You not bad?” she asked awkwardly as she took in just how handsome this apparent young man was. Her eyes briefly focused on the glittering earing, noting how well ‘he’ made that look work.
“Oh my, here let me help!” a very feminine voice proclaimed as a incredibly cute feminine hand with short but perfectly manicured pink nails grabbed the handsome ‘man’ and pulled him to his feet.
With a shake of her head, Kaori pushed herself to her feet, and looked at the handsome young man, and at the. . . “Oh I am so sorry!” she proclaimed as she looked at the big stain on the young man’s shirt from the parfait cup she’d been carrying.
“Don’t worry,” a waitress intoned quickly as she stepped up and looked close at the shirt. “We’re very familiar with these sort of stains, if you’ll just follow me, I can get it cleaned in five minutes tops!” she proclaimed with a confident gesture.
“Whew! That’s a big relief!” the handsome young ‘man’ responded while following the waitress toward and then through a door in the rear of the ice cream parlor.
Kaori stared after them for a moment, then finally looked at the girl with the pink nails.
’Woah!’ Kaori thought as her eyes drank in the vision before her. Vibrant red hair tied in gorgeous twin tails, a white jacket covering a t-shirt short enough to expose her midriff and exactly tight enough to form to her breasts without seeming to squeeze them, and jeans that would probably take a little time to remove but the reward for peeling them off would be. . . Kaori forced herself to snap her eyes up to lock onto the girls face, trying to force down the sudden inexplicable desire she was feeling.
As she looked at the girls so cute face and contemplated how utterly breathtaking she’d look without the annoyed look, she abruptly realized why she looked so annoyed. “Oh! I am so sorry for disrupting your date like this!” She declared with a deep bow.
The gorgeous redhead silently glowered at her a moment, then in an instant shifted into an impossibly cute expression while declaring in an adorable voice, “Well as long as you’re sorry, Ran-chan doesn’t like to hold grudges anyway.”
A clatter to one side caused Kaori to turn her head to look. Just inside the front doors was another couple, both of who were dressed in trench coats, fedora’s and sunglasses for some reason, and one of them had suddenly fallen to the ground. Dismissing their presence, she looked back to this girl who was apparently named Ran.
’Oh wow, how is she so incredibly hot?’ Kaori thought as her eyes took in Ran’s form once more, then she forced her eyes to shut, and bowed while declaring, “Thank you for being so forgiving.”
Behind her closed eyes Kaori’s imagination briefly started going wild, inventing all sorts of sexy seductive images featuring Ran’s exquisite form, then she managed to force it back as she opened her eyes, straightened her back and tried her hardest to look somewhere other than at Ran.
’What is going on?’ she thought to herself, trying to understand why Ran’s hotness was affecting her the way it was. Lacking the context to realize how she’d been affected by the Lesbian Shard bonded to Ryunosuke, she would ultimately conclude that her unfamiliar desire was purely because Ran was just that hot.
“So, you were. . .” Ran said in an inquisitive tone.
“Oh right!” Kaori responded quickly. “I was waiting for. . . someone,” she started to explain, her mind blanking on the name of her boyfriend, then dismissing it as unimportant. “He was supposed to meet me here, but he’s completely late,” she continued, looking down at the glass she was still holding. “Ah, so I was about to. . . Right, I just need to see the cashier, once more I’m sorry, could you be so kind as to pass my apology along to your boyfriend?”
“Oh Ryunosuke-san isn’t my boyfriend,” Ran declared. Part of her mind started feeling wrongness about being called the girlfriend of anyone but Rei, part of her mind felt a sense of triumph that she was getting this admiration and not Lum, and part of her felt excitement at the idea of actually being Ryunosuke’s girlfriend. “We’re just, having a first date so Ran can learn all about Ryunosuke-san,” she concluded, mentally forcing back images her mind was conjuring of herself running her hands over Ryunosuke’s body.
“Oh wow, that’s so great!” Kaori declared, feeling a spike of jealousy toward Ran. And toward her date she noted as her eyes briefly wandered in contemplation of how mouth watering she looked. Forcing her eyes back to Ran’s beautiful face she asked, “Where will you two be going? The park has that lake with the romantic boat rentals, as well as the roller skate rentals and that little amusement park. Or there’s the new dance club, I hear it was actually invaded by demons a few weeks back. Well, demons or aliens, it’s hard to keep track.”
Kaori paused, recalling past trips to those and other spaces with. . . For a moment she considered how hard it was to recall her boyfriends name, or even clearly visualize him, then she looked back and ran and dismissed such concerns as unimportant.
“Oh my, you do know a lot about what’s nearby,” Ran said in a cute tone that sent shivers down Kaori’s spine. “I’m actually fairly new in town,” Ran explained.
“Well I definitely know the best place in town to watch the sunset!” Kaori responded excitedly. Forcing aside an imaginary vision of herself snuggling against Ran she continued, “It’s actually right next to laser tag facility, I can’t imagine you’d be interested. . . “ she paused, noting Ran’s expression seemed to perk up slightly at the mention, as well as a sudden rustling from the direction of the table with the trench coat wearing couple. “Well whatever the case, I’ll be happy to draw you a quick map,” she said quickly.
