[Midlandia] Just One Note

[A series of events occurred which were incredibly important and ultimately life changing.

But frankly her attention span was always rather limited. What really mattered above all else was that she and Nathan were free, and it didn't require Vergil's scolding or leaving the country. They had been adopted into this pack with considerably minimal fuss. They had a roof, food, and a way to get to and from school. The best part was that there was no one to hit her anymore, no more getting thrown left and right into walls or furniture, and Nathan no longer had to hear all the yelling and insults. They could be living in a high class sewer and Nariko would still be happy.

And while she'd made her gratuity very clear to the Alpha she's been otherwise quite normal! Nariko had survived the state of things because she knew how to control herself, how to present properly. So ever since they'd been given their space she'd gone about meeting everyone she could, being both agreeable and fun, while Nathan clung to her side the whole time.

Lately, though, he's been feeling a little more like himself. On this particular day she's sprawled all over the couch while Nathan watches some movie directly in front of her. If she's supposed to give a single crap about her tiny shorts or tank top then ... Actually, no, why would she? It hasn't occurred to Nariko to dress or act differently, especially because there's so many women. Besides, she's kind of idly watching it with him or occasionally toying with her phone, and really she'd practically beg for something fun to do. Ugh.]

[All of those things require walking and movement which is not going to be her best trait for the time being.]

Both of those sound good! [Masaomi's shoulder is clapped.] How about you and Mikado talk that out while I go ....

[Where can she try to deal with this with some lingering amount of dignity? There's no bathroom in sight and she can't walk far ...]

Over there!

[She's pointing not too far off to some benches. There's no cover, but there's also no one over there, so she can try to look like she's just cleaning a part of her dress or something???? God, she doesn't know it's just weird to hold what feels like a gallon of cum in her body.]

[ . . . Well. ]

Uh, sure?

Okay?

[ Apparently, both boys are dense in this moment. Dense, and as soon as she walks off, them trying not to stare at her as she does... a little bit stupid. Because when they face each other again, Masaomi intending to propose where they should go, both get lost on each other's lips, blush, and look away from each other. It's Mikado that looks past first, tugging on Masaomi's arm and insisting they really should make a plan. And then they begin to do that, trying not to glance over at their mutual date ]

[Nariko has to walk in a very calculated, but short manner and it's just ... A challenge. She's barely out of ear shot of them and it seems to take an eternity. When she gets there her back is turned to them, and it's an incredible relief that no one is running/walking the trail she ends up facing. So, uh, yeah, while they have their moment she's going to bust out those napkins again to get between her legs.

From their angle it's really going to look like exactly what it isn't.

... This is all very embarrassing ... Don't mind her ... Please don't mind her.]

[ They don't.

Mostly.

Mikado looks and yelps a little as his eyes almost make eye contact with her, but he looks away just as quick and then places his hands on either wide of Masaomi's head to prevent him from looking. Shifting their conversation over to the first thing that came to mind, which was cupcakes.

... Bro ]

[Maybe they could get cupcakes for dessert??

But, yeah, it takes up the rest of her napkins but she mostly cleans the mess between her legs, and there's a sizable pile of stained, white tissue on the park bench.]

Thank goodness.

[At least she can stop tensing her legs so fucking much now. She gathers up the mess and dumps it all in the trash bag, pretending her face doesn't feel irreparably hot by the time she makes it back to them.]

So! What's the verdict?

Cupcakes, apparently!

[ Mikado shoves a hand in Masaomi's face, pushing it away and looking sheepish and red in the face over at Nariko, ]

N-no, we don't need to eat more! But we could hang out, or go to the school...

[ By now, the other boy pushes out of the hand on his cheeks to grin and slide back to getting his arm around Nariko. ]

Why would we go to the school?

It's in the town, Masaomi. We were showing her around!

Edited 2016-06-14 05:35 (UTC)

[Why was Mikado a mess? Had Masaomi been teasing him again? Hm. Well, either way, she tilts her head and leans into Masaomi's hold a bit instinctively.]

I sort of hate to agree there, but I'll probably see a lot of the school over the next few weeks. [And it is a date, so she doesn't really want to waste it on school.]

Are there any music stores nearby?

[Do they have to take the bus to get anywhere serious or was it all in walking distance?? These are things she does not know.]

Ummmm.... probably?

[ That's Masaomi's reply, grinning a little when she leans into the lean, and sticking his tongue out nominally to think but also to spite Mikado a bit. the shorter boy huffs, and then reaches out to grab Nariko's hand with his own, giving it a firm squeeze with a good show off determination.

Shot down. ]

I think there's one on Cherry?

Oh... Oh yeah, next to the antique place?

[ and Mikado nods ]

[Are they having some kind of affection contest? If so, it's not as if she notices, or if she does she's being awfully fair about it. When Mikado takes her hand she ends up threading their arms together and pulling him closer so that she can kiss his cheek, but she doesn't leave Masaomi's hold, either.]

Is that far off?

[It's not like she's afraid of walking but the intensely physical dates should come later.]

I guess we could also just exchange the gifts, too.

[But that might make it feel even more like the end than fucking around did.]

Not really.

Probably about... a little less than half a mile, right?

Yeah, the whole neighborhood's pretty dense, so unless you need to leave it for whatever reason you can walk pretty much anywhere and it'll be within less than two miles.

[ Masaomi nods sagely, and giving her another squeeze, he turns a bit sheepish. The gifts, huh? Oh well. ]

But the gifts seem like an end point, let's live it up first!

[ Or something! ]

[A half mile or less, that could definitely be worse.]

Okay! We can go there, then!

[And she'll get to look at guitars!! Now that they have a goal in mind she's expecting one or both of them to lead, once she's got a vague sense of her new home then it'll be easy to direct herself but right now Nariko would just get lost if she tried to guide herself or run ahead.

So onward, boyfriends!]

[ And so they picked the destination. Both boys squeeze her and nod up until she lightly pushes them, which sees Masaomi laughing a little and Mikado blushing a bit deeper before the taller boy pumps bis arm and declares, ]

Adventure... ho!

[ And their off! Both boys know where they're going but neither is really leading, instead just sort of walking with both of them holding on to one of her arms. they're both grinning for the moment ]

S-so are you okay, Nariko?

[It's easy to remain in step with them, and for a small while there Nariko is content to look around, giving the park a somewhat mournful stare. It already has a bunch of memories! Ahh, well, they'll come back some other time, and it's not far from the house at all.

Mikado's question throws her off a little, though she manages to look perfectly even enough. ... Does he ... Is he asking because of earlier ...]

Ahhh, yep! Better than okay!

[About the cum issue, at least.]

A-a-a-ah! That's-- good. Yeah!

[ .. .. Well that's something Masaomi can't help but lok at him in a suspect about. Still, he grins and, ]

So was our kiss what you wanted, NariNari?

[...... He knew. Nariko glues her eyes to the pavement as they walk, at least until Masaomi poses that really important question.]

Yes.

[She looks at them both though, and whether it's terribly insensitive or awful of her she just asks the question.]

Were you two already together?

[ Mikado did know. It's... pretty stressful, knowing what happened back there. Not that he knows what it was per se, or at least he didn't connect it. He collects himself, wanting to say something else until Nariko blindsides them. They both blink, and then answer in relative unison. ]

Nope.

Not really.

[ Masaomi seems content to leave it at that, but Mikado goes on with, ]

I mean, we may or may not be brothers, so we never... bothered or anything?

It's different with boys though, so it's not as much of a problem, right?

[Either way, it's not something she'll poke at too much, though she does tap her fingers along Mikado where they're joined. It's a nervous habit.]

I was actually pretty jealous. If you think about a kiss that's supposed to mean something, that's special because of who you're sharing it with ... Then that's the sort of image I have.

[Not just that, of course, it was the feeling of it all, and a part of it was the intense situation but it's harder to put all that into words.]

[ Mikado is confused - why would she be jealous? It's a confusion that Masaomi shares to some extent, and he keeps a silent, appraising eye on both of his dates. It's strange to think of Mikado like that if he's honest, but it was the scene he wrote for them. Everything was operating more or less at the pace her prescribed... so. He might as well embrace it, right? It's largely for that he allows Mikado to answer it in the first place. ]

I-- I mean? I -- maybe? I'm not really sure what you mean... or that it was that big of a deal...? To be jealous about? That just sounds like you're under-selling yourself?

[ and of course Mikado would be a straight-shooter. Masaomi snorts, and as they continue the march up and out of the park (under a different entrance than they came in) Masaomi grips Nariko's hand harder, spins in place (pulling them both with him) and then makes to get himself tangled up in Nariko, their bound hands up in the air and his other arm around her waist as he leans his face in close to hers ]

NariNari. I think I'm starting to really like you.

No, I just don't enjoy lying to myself, that's all.

[She kind of says it to herself, in part because she doesn't want it to become a Thing as much as she does want it to be one. Ultimately it's not their fault that she still feels incredibly displaced and listless, so while she can't identify those emotions she also doesn't want to lay it on them, either. It's the sort of thing that could easily rip her good mood to shreds, but Masaomi starts doing this and that, and she ends up yelping with surprise.

The only reason she doesn't fall is because she clings to Masaomi a bit.]

Ah, is that so? [He probably isn't, sex tends to make boys think they like a lot of things they really don't.] I should be making it much more difficult for you, then.

Please do. I'm looking forward to falling more and more for you. I'm sure Mikado feels the same--

[ and Mikado, who is still holding her hand, does have his own sort of wrapped around his brother's back too. It's a really awkward position and even makes his face screw up a bit. Still, leaned against them both he... frowns. Because he sort of gets what Nariko means, they're being presumptuous. But there really isn't anything like that between him and Mikado.. at least he doesn't think so. ]

D-don't speak for me... please?! But I would? Still.

[Maybe 'presumptuous' is the right word for it, but it also might not be big enough for everything that's attached to the whole affair.]

Then you can't complain when I ignore you both for someone else!

[This is .. All things considered, an attempt at being playful in some odd way. Masaomi's a little more dedicated to all this than she had expected, and Mikado's so even tempered that she'd have to press him more to know what he actually thinks or feels about it.]

Anyway! [She goes ahead and slips away from both of them, peeking her tongue out at them.] Come on! I wanna see the music store!

Like we'll let you lose interest!

[ That said, Mikado hangs his head a little, knowing he might be a little bit despairing if he were to let out everything he thinks in that moment. But when Masaomi responds like that, it makes him laugh in in turn. And even when she pulls out and away from both of them (just as well, because it wouldn't be good to remain tangled up like that for a long time). So instead, he just shakes his head and both boys get in step beside her, though not holding hands now ]

Okay! We're leading you!

[That's a challenge waiting to happen! But it's far too early in their relationship - whatever it might actually be - to think about making people jealous and all that.

Right now it seems that Nariko is perfectly fine with keeping her hands to herself.]

This is a really nice place.

[It's so different from her home, but that's not exactly a bad thing. It just feels like it's going to need some getting used to.]

It's -- yeah it's a little small as cities go, but the flip side is that the core downtown is really centralized.

All the adults do kinda drive everywhere, though.

Only because there's a lot of township type things outside of the city limits! Y-you've done it with me, you can bus pretty much anywhere and for us walk anywhere we need to go.

Our grocery's over a block that way.

[ Masaomi points that out as a way to agree with Mikado as they reach the next intersection and need to start heading up a hill ]

Mm.

[That's not so bad, she has no serious aversion to walking, though being on a bus would be awful, especially if she was alone. ... Then again, will she ever be completely alone with these two in her life? Maybe not.]

How far away are we from the ocean?

[An important, important question.]

I'm gross laughing at this and Masaomi and Audrey this is amazing

Rofl we really have some silly threads right now it's amazing

it so is
