" Need Any Help Out Here? " Peeking Out From A Pillar She Approaches, Gathering Fabric Of Her Gown Into

" Need any help out here? " Peeking out from a pillar she approaches, gathering fabric of her gown into her palm. Away from the masses and unfamiliar faces, the cool night is strangely welcoming. She finds the faerie tending to the gardens, soil between her slight hands. A smile tugs at her lips, heels discarded beside the grass as she edges closer to crouch beside Agatha. " May I? " (for Aggie in her royalty verse. <3)

agatha's gaze lifts when she hears the sound of ryu's voice, the sparkle returning to her eyes upon seeing her move closer and crouch beside her. she gives a small nod, moving aside a little to let her help her plant these tulips in preparation for spring. " i-i w-would've planted these tomorrow, b-but the party was getting o-overwhelming. " she smiles sheepishly, her cheeks flushing a little in mild embarrassment. but ryu knows how the faerie princess feels about parties. small ones are bearable, but the one happening right now in the castle? it's just too much. still, her mother was really living up to her title of 'faerie queen' by celebrating the end of winter and the beginning of spring. it happens every year.

" i w-wish i could g-get u-used to them. th-the— the parties. " agatha laments quietly, moving to sit on the grass now. she draws up her knees and hugs her legs. " i just... don't f-feel like i b-belong, you know? "

PRIZE :  for one muse to win the other a prize at a carnival. (for aggie, from yuna!)

" you say you don't need me to win something for you, but it's not going to stop me from wanting to win something. " agatha tells her with a soft giggle, giving yuna's hand a little squeeze as they walk through the row of games. she is looking for what seems to her to be the easiest game to win something from, and she even sees the exact prize she'd love to win for yuna: a fuzzy brown teddy bear with the cutest face! agatha kisses yuna's cheek and hurries over to the booth. it takes a few rounds of playing the game, but she eventually manages to win the teddy bear for her, returning to yuna with a big, proud grin on her face as she holds out her prize. " i wanted to win something for you and i did! "

" of course we can. i will draw a nice hot bubble bath just for us to enjoy. " they tell her, their features softening. they've got some time between when she gets here and when the cookies are done, so they can get that done now. holding the phone in their hand now, soryn makes their way to the bathroom and turns the faucets, running the water until it gets hot. they plug the drain and pour the bubble bath into the water, humming softly to themself. soryn gets some towels out and sets aside a fresh set of clothes to change into after their bath. something comfortable for their cozy little date!

" absolutely! i think i saw a trailer just for that while i was ordering some things online; it looked pretty interesting. " soryn's smile grows. they finish filling the tub and head back to the kitchen, checking the timer. " i can order something for us to eat, too. anything you want, i will order. though, i could also cook for us. you know i will make anything you want. "

it had been a long, grueling day of shoot after shoot, and then rehearsing her lines for an upcoming anime; to put it bluntly, misa was worn out. her arms and legs were tired, her whole body fell into her mattress the second she got home, arms splayed out. it was boring in her apartment, nothing interesting on tv -- not even the sakura channel was entertaining her today. so, after running her options, she called soryn. god, the way all the aches in her body disappeared when she heard their voice!! it made her heart flutter and her glossy lips turned upward into a large smile.

" um, no way am i passing up cookies and a movie date!! oh my gosh, i'll be right over, babes! " misa practically squealed, kicking her legs excitedly as they put soryn on speaker so they could continue talking, " it's been SUCH a long day. could we take a bath before the movie? misa wants to relax a bit beforehand~ " she cooed as she rummaged through her dresser to find a comfortable, but cute, outfit to wear. and don't mind her slipping into some pink lacy underwear! you never know what might happen, and misa liked to be prepared.

" ooohh~! can we watch that new movie that just came out? i think it was called kotoko! "

agatha smiles as she's kissed, slipping her hands into meepho's to hold them and give them a gentle squeeze. " for once, i don't feel too worried about it, especially since i have you in my life. " thanks to her, spring has been a lot easier on the faerie. it's rough going through that alone. she leans against meepho, humming softly in content. " i feel like it won't be as bad either, even at the height of spring. "

@fiorserpen

They cup the faerie's face before kissing the blonde. Despite how calm Meepho seems, her tail is wagging, clearly happy. "Spring is coming soon isn't it? Are you worried about it?"

I ain’t gonna let anyone hurt ya. (Shiro) when they are in high school together.

she really does want to believe that. she wants to believe it so badly, but agatha knows he can't be at her side for all hours of their school day. " i-i know you're t-trying, but you— y-you d-don't have to come to my d-defense all the time. i-i know you go out of your w-way f-for me, shiro, a-and i don't need you to. " the faerie just doesn't have the heart to tell him that the bullying only gets worse the moment they know he isn't there to save her. she doesn't need him to step in for her anyway, she just... she just has to make it through to the end of the year and then she'll be free from them, from all of this.

agatha gets up from the floor, drying her eyes. " i-i have to get to my l-last class. i'll s-see you tomorrow, y-yeah? " she manages a smile before hurrying off.

agatha moves the kitchen curtain aside to look outside, smiling upon seeing how sunny it is. she was wondering just what they could do today, but now she has the perfect idea. " mairi, h-how about you and i go to the beach today? w-we c-could pack sandwiches, drinks, and s-some fruit cups! we could walk along th-the waters' edge a-and— and m-maybe find some seashells! "
