Akaneya
C-rank
- OP:
Akaneya had spent the walk home pondering in her mind the many feelings she hadn't entirely known before. The many things she did not know, the many things she was never allowed to know, and yet here Chiaki was trying to pry them open again from the rusty lock over Akaneya's very soul. A lock placed long ago in the dark cells she lived in for years beneath her native Land of Rice, bearing the weight of the world and a key thought long disappeared. Indeed, Chiaki's magical, healing touch seemed to know no bounds at all - she truly was the best medic that the red woman had ever known.
As she stepped in through the front door of their cozy living space, an apartment if it could be called as such, she paused for a moment to consider drying off. All along the walk, she'd been drip-drying to considerable effect. Her hair was no longer wet, but only damp, the soft bamboo sheets she'd used as both clothing and towels were only mildly soggy, and beyond this she felt quite dry indeed on 99% of her body. With this, her hesitation ceased, and she took the final steps indoors. For that matter, she quickly made a move for the sink, and quite quickly scrubbed the soles of her feet clean from all the dust and dirt she'd collected outside. Maybe she should've worn her rainboots after all, a bit too late for that now though.
Once all nice and clean, Akaneya took a seat on the comfy bed, and unbuttoned her raincoat just enough to pull her breastwrap off. She ran her hair over it briefly to try to soak up any excess dampness, and casually tossed it aside onto a chair. The skirt did not follow, nor did the coat, but she ran her arms under and through her hair to encourage it to fall down naturally and with its usual hint of floof - more important, to push whatever she could out of her face. The hair still hung low, obscuring her eyes a bit and seeming almost as if she were hiding behind the great mass. The front locks fell down past her collarbone, showing off for once the true and proper length of her unbound and untended hair for the world, but really only Chiaki, to see.
Akaneya observed her blue companion with some curiosity, watching her as she twisted the water from her hair like a sponge. The whole thought was near alien to hear, she never tried such a thing, she thought it might even cause even more tangling if she tried. The drip-dry had worked so well for her on the trip, why did it not do the same for Chiaki? How perplexing indeed.
She looked over Chiaki's nude form, the blue above and below, and thoughts of less than an hour prior came rushing back once more. They were pressed together, intimately, privately, their very existence together a conversation, but Chiaki took initiative and stirred something in Akaneya that had been dormant and shriveled and forgotten. It was a feeling that she thought she would certainly want to revisit someday, whenever that may be.
Chiaki leaned into her bag and began to dig, seeming as if preparing to pull out some form of entertainment. All the while, Akaneya thought of her attire and began wondering if she would be wearing this for the rest of the night. No reason not to, one might suppose. It was certainly comfortable enough, even if the purple plastic was a little cold against her bare skin. She shrugged and reached for one of her pairs of leather gloves: soft, black, and shiny, they fit to her hand exquisitely and she found in them a great comfort. It was hard to explain, if it could be explained at all, but gloves gave her a certain familiarity and comfort.
She thought what other steps she might take, if they might be headed somewhere else for the night, or if she should be preparing for sleep perhaps. She wondered if she should be getting more properly dressed for bed as she squeezed her hands into fists and then open again - she didn't often wear them to sleep but she wasn't really feeling sleepy either. By all means, she had the right sort of feeling from her current outfit - the gloves just added, the cinched waist, and a decently long skirt. As nonstandard and makeshift as it might be, she thought it now comfortable and familiar enough to keep till bed.
Mostly, though, she was idling. Picking out gloves had given her something to do while she waited with anticipation at what Chiaki might pull from her bag. She had promised entertainment, she always carried entertainment of some variety in that bag. What about that rope-trick she tried before? Closing her hand again, she was glad for the gloves even moreso - she wouldn't want that rope to be digging into bare skin. That's when Akaneya's suspicions were verified, in their entirety, as Chiaki pulled out a length of rope and turned to face Akaneya with a sinister grin.
