[closed] A Way Into Your Heart
Who: Minako ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
idolater & Rei faithfulflame
When: IC Feb 14 / OOC Aug 3
Where: starting at their apartment, and moving to various places around Cerealia
What: Valentine's day! the girls have surprises for each other! thank goodness they are unaffected by the event.
Rating/Warning: girls becoming girlfriends, nothing too steamythis time ...also Archer is mentioned for some reason
[at last. this was it.
she was going to do it. she was finally going to do this...!
Minako was going to tell Rei she was ready to date her. for real.
she'd taken some time to think it through, of course. there were so many things to consider. for one, Minako had been boy-crazy all her life. she still kind of was, honestly. when she saw a cute boy, her instinct was to flirt it up!
the more she thought about it, though, the more she wondered if the constant flirting was just a way of blocking pain, or keeping her mind preoccupied. after all, long ago, she'd been cursed, told that she would never have a real love life. Minako's life would be devoted to her duty, and she'd gradually begun to accept that.
now, here she was, with some kind of freedom. Usagi and Mamoru weren't here, and their world was supposedly destroyed. Minako could date whomever the hell she wanted, right? ...weeeeeell, technically, yes? but she still felt that she had a duty. she would always be a soldier, and, eventually, she wanted to protect her Queen again. whatever happened in Cerealia would stay in Cerealia, or something.
then Minako wondered if she was just settling. Rei would be around far longer than any boy she would date. the Senshi would live for thousands of years, so that meant any human relationships would be pointless. Rei was the obvious choice, in that case! but that wouldn't be fair to her, if Minako decided just because of that. Rei truly liked Minako, and Minako did not want to sully that.
her decision had come while she was in the chocolate-making class at Thistle Do Nicely, and she was talking to two lovely young women about her dear friend. Minako had thought about how cool and beautiful Rei was, and she began dwelling more on that. once, not too long ago, Minako would have told any person that she was quite the catch, herself. now, Minako was beginning to consider that Rei actually was the catch. and the way she doted on Minako, cheered her up, kept her in line... Minako was the lucky one, to have a friend like that.
when she started thinking of things that way, Minako's deliberation circled back to dating. she wasn't sure if she was attracted to Rei the way she was attracted to boys, but that could come later, right? she wanted to give dating a shot, and see if her feelings grew stronger.
that's why, early in the morning on Valentine's Day, Minako is already awake and waiting for her friend to get up. she could barely sleep the night before, so she's already bathed and dressed in a casual, but nice outfit, and she has the fourth attempt at homemade chocolates resting beside her in a pretty gift bag. she's sitting on her legs in the living room, squirming nervously, clenching her fists on her thighs as she tries to think of exactly what she wanted to say. Minako had rehearsed it so many times in her head, but she still is skittish]

You made a reservation? At a restaurant? [this was sounding good already! it really was like an actual date]
no subject
I did. Yes. A nice one. And I suppose I should try your choco, hmmm?
[Anything but talking about the Nexus Code...]
no subject
[hopefully in a good way.........]
Anna-chan and I made them together!
no subject
Well I'm sure that the girl I'm going on a date with, and a good friend? Infused them with a lot of love.
[And she pulls out one and takes a bite...a big one. How's the taste?]
no subject
it's definitely a little bitter, but there's also a lot of sugar, as though it was added in an effort to quell the bitterness. other than that, it's... okay. not the worst chocolate out there]
Oh, that's a plain one! Some of the others have caramel! [she bounces in her seat. she made Rei chocolates! and Rei was eating them!]
no subject
These are pretty good.
[Rei peers into the bag and plucks out another, one that's a little smushed and oozing caramel. She takes a bite without so much as a pause. And it too? Is fine! A little salty, but that's fine, it goes well with the caramel.]
And these are even better. Goodness, Minako-chan. Thank you so much.
no subject
All right! Rei-chan likes my chocolates! I knew you would! [actually, she didn't, but no reason to tell Rei that she wasn't confident]
no subject
Well, I'm glad you took the time. I'll have to thank Anna-chan too.
[She pours out a cup, and pauses.]
Do you need any? You know how terrible I am in the mornings without it.

[Rei beams and takes a sip.] Just let me get showered and dressed, okay? The reservations are for dinner, around eight. I figured you were going to work so I made them late.
