[Private-Invite] Rest, Relaxtion & Rikalection time. (Tokaru & Rika) [Complete]

Rika grinned when the taller man told her he could make more of that stuff, she figured the liquid form probably had to be just as nice, recalling he’d been able to make the other one as a liquid. Figuring that he could probably do the same with the good chemical stuff.  The pigtailed faunus blinked when he stood up, only closing the distance between the two of them. Rika thought the look he was giving her was weird, and it made her feel all funny again. A feeling that only grew stronger when he began whispering in her ear. Far closer to her at the moment than ANYONE had ever done. Rika had no clue what was going on right now, but she figured Tokaru was mostly just being weird. The fact he'd gotten so close to her was a bit weird, like really close...it felt like they were practically pressing against each other.

She decided to go with it when the raven haired man told her to close her eyes, opening her mouth as she waited for him to do…whatever it was he was going to do. She felt his hand brushing against her side, angling her chin upwards gently, still not really sure what was going on or what it was that the other faunus was doing. Her eyes were still closed, but she had noticed that he hadn’t done anything with the chemical thing, and while their proximity was still a bit weird Rika didn’t really feel threatened by it, her guard fully down.  After all, Tokaru had seemed like a good guy, even if he was makin’ her feel all weird somehow.

Rika hadn’t known what to suspect, when she felt the chemical fluid begin dripping into her mouth, she didn’t think much about how the guy might be delivering it. While it wasn’t quite accurate, some small amount missing her mouth and resting on her lips instead, the taste was still incredible. Strawberries, specifically the wild strawberries that grew near her Siegfried’s homestead. It was a taste she was more than a little familiar with, but at the same time it was a taste that made her comfortable. The taste was enough to distract her from the movement of Tokaru’s hands until it was too late. The redhead wasn’t sure what exactly was happening at first when she felt Tokaru’s mouth suddenly against hers, eyes opening before widening practically to the size of dinner plates as her brain tried to process what was happening. Rika’d never been kissed before, never having even really thought about it and yet here she was. She could feel her body pulled into a tight embrace, her smaller frame against his, and that weird feeling seemed to get much worse.

At the same time there was that taste, and it almost mixed TOO well with the kiss and embrace, causing Rika to feel somehow…comfortable with the kiss. It wasn’t a BAD experience at all so far. The cat faunus’ head felt kinda fuzzy…and there was a weird fluttery feeling in her stomach that was actually surprisingly pleasant. With her only feeling more awkward and confused by the man’s tongue slipping into her mouth. Still Rika had always been the type to follow her own instincts, and rather than pull away she decided to go with what those were telling her. She started kissing back. It wasn’t really until the two of them pulled away that the redhead regained her senses, face glowing as brightly as her hair, as she looked away.

“I guess it wasn’t so bad or nothin’,” She admitted, not able to look him in the face just yet and instead looking away at the wall. Rika wasn't quite ready to admit that she'd enjoyed the kiss, Though one would likely find such a thing rather obvious, as the pigtailed girl had little in the way of a poker face, and even now couldn't really bring herself to get angry. Instead settling for a cute pout. "Ya shoulda asked first though...er I mean...."

Rika’s blush only deepened at the man’s teasing, and she looked away trying to hide it, even though she could tell she wasn’t all that successful in the matter.  “well ya know…it wasn’t bad or nothin…” She responded, still not looking the man in the face. At least not until she was suddenly lifted off her feet. And Rika had to wrap her arms around Tokaru’s neck just to stay stable. It felt weird to be picked up, and Rika wasn’t sure if she liked this or not, though at the least Rika stopped avoiding Tokaru’s gaze, and found herself matching gazes with him, her eyes wide as she found herself lifted off her feet.

At the very least, it wasn’t too uncomfortable, and Rika knew she didn’t really weigh much, so she wasn’t too worried about Tokaru strainin’ himself or something.   “Hehe, I guess they are kinda pretty’n all.” Rika answered when the guy complemented her eyes despite herself. Rika did at least like the attention, even if she wasn’t sure about any of this other weird stuff…. Rika felt someone touch her pigtail, realizing what was happening at Tokaru’s question. “Er…” Rika felt a bit more trepidation at this…not many people had seen her with her hair down, only one other person actually.  Somehow it seemed bigger than Rika would have thought, as though there was something special about this stuff.

Of course at the same time…Rika figured that was kinda stupid, since it really was just hair.  The pigtailed girl thought about it for a moment, her eyes scanning the room for a minute. “Only if ya promise not ta get disappointed er’ nothin….” Rika answered.   She’d never thought much about how she looked with her hair down, as she didn’t really see much of a difference either way, and having her hair down only was really a liability to her.  The aesthetics of the whole thing never really factored into Rika’s thought process. "An' can ya put me down....this is kinda...weird ya know..."

The pigtailed girl was surprised herself by the slight nervousness she felt, she was a bit worried that she’d look stupid when it came to how long her hair was. To the martial minded pigtailed girl, it had always seemed a liability, however at the same time she’d always felt more comfortable with it longer and had made a habit to tie it as a sort of middle ground between comfort and practicality. The pigtailed girl felt the long hard man’s hand brush against her tail as she was lowered, and when he began to untie her hair she couldn’t help but fidget somewhat, not being the type that liked standing around like this and finding it a bit weird to be letting someone untie her hair.

Still Rika hadn’t seen any harm in letting Tokaru untie it, and she’d already agreed. The redhead’s hair would come untied and be revealed to be quite a bit longer than one might have though, going past her shoulders and reaching down to about her back at it’s lowest. Rika shifted as her hair was spread out a bit, smiling a bit when she was complemented despite herself. “Well ya know…it aint very good for fightin’ or nothin…jus don’t like cuttin’ it or nothin.” She responded, though her grin, though more nervous than normal was still quite evident showing the cat faunus did enjoy being complemented. “Never really did, old man never really said nothin’ bout it…jus kinda taught me ta tie it right’n stuff.” Rika still found herself shifting a bit towards Tokaru, surprised to find she almost missed how close she’d been to him before.

It took the pigtailed girl a moment to realize that and afterward she took a notably large step back, her face taking on a bit of a red tint as she realized she was still acting kinda weird. “Er…but…ya know…I don’t really let it down much or anything.” She added, feeling awkward somewhat.

Rika wasn’t all too educated on things like how dating typically worked, and as such naturally wouldn’t really think much of the implications of being asked out. However there was one thing the normally pigtailed girl did know…and that was that there was food involved. She didn’t really know what “surf and turf” meant, nor did she get what this “Karaoke” thing was but if there was food it was likely to be an enjoyable time. The fact it was an easy way out of the weirdness also helped, and Rika decided that she might as well.

“Sure, sounds great…er not really sure what Karaoke is but…” The pigtailed girl visibly shrugged. Figuring it was something interesting even if she had no clue what. “Think I can go tomorrow I-I need to go to class!” Rika stiffened at the sudden thought, realizing she had no idea what time it was. “I gotta go, we can do it tomorrow, I’ll meetcha at the airships!” She exclaimed. “Ya mind givin’ me yer contact stuff….” She asked suddenly figuring they could just figure it out later.

“ooh fish, that sounds great!” Rika remarked hearing that the restaurant was a seafood place. She tapped away on her scroll as she copied the guy’s information. She wasn’t sure how much she’d like this Karaoke thing, though it sounded interesting enough.  Rika frowned for a moment when Tokaru told her she needed a swimsuit, realizing she’d need to actually get one of those. She hadn’t really spent much time at the beach yet, only going to the docks a time or two since having arrived in the country at all. She’d have to go get one of those things. She didn’t really wear much outside of her array of silk shirts and martial arts slacks, but then she never really thought much about clothes, and liked the feel of her silk martial arts clothes normally. The pigtailed girl did know they weren’t much for somethin’ like the beach though, and figured she’d go along with it.

She had to remind herself that she was in fact in a rush. “oksoundsfunlet’sdoit.” Rika called out quickly as she ran out the door, retying her hair all the while.  Maybe when she met him again she’d be able to figure out this weirdness.
