[kaihentai]

[She's one of the best damn things about this place.

For him, at least.]

Yeah sure, why not~!

That or we could go out sometime.

[helmets]

I'd like that.
Is there anywhere you'd want to go?

[kaihentai]

[Somewhere normal, maybe.

But she can't eat or drink, and dancing... Well, they know how that turned out last time. Even so, he can still think of one place.]

Yeah.

There is.

[helmets]

Alright.
Where is it?
I can meet you there.

[kaihentai]

It's a surprise! And nah, I'll walk ya- It's much more romantic.

You ain't scared of heights, are ya?

[helmets]

[ oh.

something lightens in her chest, like a weight has been removed. ]

No, I'm not.
Perhaps I can meet you halfway and we can walk together from there to our destination.

[kaihentai]

Is that what you'd prefer?

[He doesn't mind going all the way, for her.]

[helmets]

Yes, if you wouldn't mind.

[ she knows he doesn't. but she was never one to make another person do everything for her. meeting them halfway is a good compromise. ]

[kaihentai]

Alright.

[Sakamoto is that kind of person- He would, if he could, do everything.]

Want to meet in front of the club? Just outside.

[helmets]

Okay.
See you soon. ╰( ･ ᗜ ･ )╯

[helmets]

[ about ten minutes later, she pulls up in front of the club, glancing around for him. it seemed like so long ago since the last time she met him here; a lot of things have happened since then.

for now, she's content to stay seated and wait for him, sending a few texts to others in the meantime. ]

[kaihentai]

[His blood has run cold again- He shivers within the clutches of anxiety, it's cruel fingers attempting to pry him open once again. There has to be something of great worth, something he can bargain for their freedom- But what is it?

Sakamoto's patience with this place is wearing thin. He knows that the ailments of the mind are best cured by liquor and women (at least for him, even if the fix is only temporary), but tonight there is one woman in particular who holds attention.

An adrenaline rush washes over him as he passes the bar, memories of something exciting and accidental are enough to make him quicken his pace, although he stops when he sees her.]

H'ohhhh, there ya are!

[He scoots in beside her, and ducks to give her a quick kiss on the side of her helmet. It's a sweet gesture, he's trying not to be persistent after going so long without physical contact.

She is comforting, comfortable, he needs her to relax.

Is this any better than having a beer after work? Ah, well.]

[helmets]

[ she looks up when she hears his voice, lets him kiss the side of her helmet with only a minimal amount of embarrassment. she can't exactly refuse him of it, however -- it has been a while since they got to spend some time alone like this. she missed it too, him most of all, and it's good to see him safe and whole next to her. ]

Hello. Thank you for meeting me.

[kaihentai]

["Thank you for meeting me," she says, as if it's some kind of convenience call.

He doesn't mention how badly he's wanted to see her, how he's come to need her comapny as of late.]

I don't think you'll be needin' that.

[He gestures to the bike.]

Not where we're goin'.

[Sakamoto offers Celty his hand.]

[helmets]

Alright.

[ she takes it, standing up properly before setting her other hand on the motorcycle's handle. it gives a soft, horse-like snort before it turns around and heads in the opposite direction. once it disappears around the corner, she turns back to sakamoto. ]

After you.

[kaihentai]

You don't want my arm, then?

[He thrusts his shoulder in her direction, laughing fondly as he does.

She can take his damn arm.

She already has his heart.]

I wanted to share somethin' with ya.

[A few things. Men who smile wide, who smile often- They hide too much, despite laughing so loudly.

She has shown him what she lacks.

He should do the same for her.]

[helmets]

[ gosh, maybe he should have said something, then. she does him one better and takes off one of her gloves, reaching for his hand instead. she slips her fingers through his, gives them a small squeeze. ]

Sure. Thank you for sharing it with me.

[ she doesn't know what it is, but the sentiment is nice enough. ]

[kaihentai]

[She understands his need.

Sakamoto has always appreciated physical intimacy, including that of the non-sexual variety, especially that of the non-sexual variety. Her hands are the smoothest he's ever felt- Even a woman of the night has a few scars on her palms, her fingers.

He squeezes back.]

Celty~?

Have you ever been-

[In love?]

To the stars?

[helmets]

Not literally, no. I've always been grounded.

[ stars are too bright for the dead, they're impossible to reach. ]

Well, [ her helmet tilts to one side briefly, shoulders lifting in a small shrug. ] I suppose now I have, living here in Cerealia.
