[06 | RL with Hibiki | No Consequences]

[tranquilrhythm]

[Kanade has been thinking about her next move for a little while now, but hasn't gotten the courage to make a decision and actually do anything. That's not an issue today; she woke up and her first thought was, 'this is the day.' In keeping with that, she's pulling a Hibiki and sneaking into her suspiciously-good-friend's room slightly early in the morning. She's hoping her sneaking is unopposed, but she'll manage if she's discovered. She's paying no mind to the fact that this is slightly out of character for her; there's no way this couldn't work. It's a foolproof plan. There's no way Hibiki could possibly misunderstand what Kanade had planned, if everything went as she intended.

Hibiki, there's someone in your room; the tables appear to have been turned on you, as she's let herself in.]

[And of course there's Hibiki, snoozing away. It wasn't like she was expecting Kanade so early in the morning and while it would be nice, there wasn't anything stopping Kanade at all. So, she's just going to sleep for a while, sprawled out under the covers.]

[tranquilrhythm]

[For a few moments, Kanade just watches, smiling. Hibiki not being loud and obnoxious is a rare thing, after all. But alas, the plan must roll on. So she sits on the bed next to Hibiki and holds one of the girl's hands, wondering if this'll be enough to wake her. If not, well... there are a certain number of backups built into the plan.]

[wildmelody]

[If anything, Hibiki shifts a little at the contact, and she curls up, shifting over in bed as she murmurs Kanade's name. She's still sound asleep though.]

[tranquilrhythm]

Oh, Hibiki...

[Kanade doesn't even react right away; she's stunned by this. But she just grins. 'Then that makes this the right thing to do... right?' Perhaps a more subtle approach...? No, too late for that now, and she'd be just as likely to miss the signals. So Kanade lays in front of Hibiki and whispers into the girl's ear.]

Hibiki... wake up, Hibiki...

[wildmelody]

Mmm? [Cracking an eye open she murmured,] Kanade...? What are you doing here...?

[tranquilrhythm]

This.

[And Kanade leans in, very much inside Hibiki's personal space, and... kisses her full on the lips. No lead up, no explanation.

To anyone with half a brain, this plan needs work. To Kanade, everything is moving as expected.]

[wildmelody]

Mmmph!!

[Taken back by the kiss, Hibiki was paralyzed for a long moment. And then slowly, her hands moved up and wrapped around Kanade's neck loosely as she started to realize that Kanade was definitely doing something pleasant.]

[tranquilrhythm]

[Internally, Kanade is cheering; everything's going as planned. She can't quite relax yet, considering there are things yet to be done, but she's doing just fine so far.

Externally, she's focused on the kiss, so there's not a whole lot else going on except wrapping her own newly-freed arms around Hibiki.]

[wildmelody]

[Briefly Hibiki wondered what brought this on all of a sudden. One would think that Kanade was being incredibly bold but due to the sleepy status and her overall confusion, all Hibiki could do was kiss back.]

[tranquilrhythm]

[Kanade isn't really thinking about that herself, either. After several more seconds of bliss, she pulls back, grinning.]

Good morning, Hibiki.

[wildmelody]

Good morning Kanade. What did I do to deserve this kind of wake up? [She smiled up at Kanade, rubbing her arm gently.]

[tranquilrhythm]

Nothing in particular. I just felt like showing you how I felt, considering... everything that's happened. I wanted to prove I can be more than just an indecisive, blushing mess.

[And she wanted to see what it felt like and find out Hibiki's reaction, but even under a virus she'd never tell Hibiki that.]

[wildmelody]

Well... I appreciate it. It's wonderful to be honest.

Does that mean we're together now?

[tranquilrhythm]

It does.

[She nuzzles into Hibiki's neck.]

If that's okay with you?

[wildmelody]

I'm definitely okay with this. [Wrapping her arms around Kanade's neck, she hugged her back.]

Thanks for making my day even better, Kanade.
