First Date!

ariserisette[Rise had been on many first dates, mostly because she'd had a hard time finding the right kind of person for her. A lot of people she'd hoped to date were drawn to her just because of her celebrity, and were more interested in Risette than the girl behind the idol. She didn't exactly fault them for it, but it made her feel often like they didn't care to know about the real her, so the relationships didn't tend to last.
This time was different!
Today Rise was the one to ask out her date, because she knew there was something special about them right from the start! This time she was certain she'd found someone truly meaningful, and more importantly? Someone she felt like she could be herself around, which was a very rare thing indeed. So often she was putting on a show, pretending to be what people expected her to be, but here and now she felt like she could be truly herself.]
Ta dah! Here is The Pizza Zone! One of the best arcades by day, and clubs by night! A playground for people of all ages, serving their clientele differently depending on the hour. I've done one or two private performances here in the past, so they know me pretty well here. Just wait until they see me with you though! There eyes are going to pop out!
[She hooked her arm in her date's and tugged them towards the double doors of the entrance.]
What do you want to do first?! Personally I'm a fan of air hockey!

Date: 2022-11-19 01:39 am (UTC)She had to make sure to keep her somehow! But today was going to be fun!]
Wow, it’s amazing! Haven’t seen anything like it! But, boy they’re gonna be jealous of us!
[As Rise took her in, she heard what she wanted to do first.]
Air hockey, huh? I think I know how to play it! Let’s go!
no subject
Date: 2022-11-19 02:03 am (UTC)[She wasn't exactly the jealous or possessive type, but she still didn't want to lose Asuka to some random stranger, so she might be linking her arm in Asuka's none to discreetly.]
I'm curious to see which one of us is better! I've had a lot of practice, but you've probably got way better reflexes as a pilot right?
[She went up with Asuka to the front desk, handed over her credit card, exchanged a few whispered words with the manager, and then lead the two of them to the other side of the arcade to a slightly less used portion. Apparently the air hockey machine wasn't super popular here with all the video games, laser tag, and other games that actually gave out tickets for prizes. Air hockey was a two player game, and winning didn't earn you any prize tickets.]
Alright heads or tails? Winner gets the first play of the puck, and make sure to keep your hand on the bumper at all times. No cheating by catching the puck underneath!
no subject
Date: 2022-11-19 02:08 am (UTC)[And Asuka would lean into Rise’s hold as they went in. Listening to what she was talking about, she nodded in understanding.]
I certainly would have better hand-eye coordination, but I’m curious to see how it translates to a game like this!
[Hearing the rules being laid out, she couldn’t help but playfully scoff.]
Oh, I wouldn’t do anything like that! Maybe if I was losing badly, but me? Lose? Ha!
[She was playing this up, wanting to impress her more. If she lost, she lost, right?]
I love that Asuka icon, she looks so smug! 😆
Date: 2022-11-19 02:32 am (UTC)[She just had to make sure that Asuka's wily ways didn't distract her from her game. She didn't mind losing if Asuka was better than her, but she'd hate to lose just because she was distracted by the way her girlfriend could move in that plugsuit!]
On your mark... get set...
[Rise dropped the puck into the center of the air hockey rink as the air turned on, and she was quick to jab it with her bumper, sending it careening of to the side, bouncing off the side of the board to careen towards Asuka's goal point. This game could be a little bit like competitive pool, where the angle you hit the puck and how it would bounce could help you determine where and when it would strike. In this respect a math genius who knew their geometry could potentially overcome the lightning fast reflexes of an athlete if they strategized and their opponent didn't catch on in time. Rise was sadly none of those things, buy she did have enough practice to know some strategies that worked in the past.]
Ha! She really does!
Date: 2022-11-19 02:39 am (UTC)Or at least, that’s what she says in her head - some of those were genuine misses. However, she’s sure that this one will hit the mark!]
Take this!
no subject
Date: 2022-11-19 03:04 am (UTC)[Rise moves her bumper to intercept, but the angle was all wrong, causing the puck to bounce off, hit the wall, bounce off again, and enter her goal point!]
Alright, beginner's luck! Let's see you try this on for size!
[Rise threw all her strength into her thrust, making the puck fly wildly all across the air hockey board!]
no subject
Date: 2022-11-19 03:11 am (UTC)[Rise’s next move went crazy and Asuka tried to keep her eye on it and make her move, slipping up and missing.]
Gah! Darn it! You won’t get past again!
[And she grins as she sends the puck back at Rise.]
no subject
Date: 2022-11-19 03:40 am (UTC)[She pumped her left hand triumphantly, only to scramble to push her bumper in to intercept the puck shooting her way.]
Not this time!
[She was getting surprisingly into this! She didn't think she was this competitive, but Asuka seemed to brining out the best/worst in her. She batted the puck right down the center, trying to shoot a fast ball of a pitch past her.]
no subject
Date: 2022-11-19 03:44 am (UTC)[Asuka got the hang of it quickly and batted the puck away, sending it bouncing along the sides.]
Gah! Sloppy!
no subject
Date: 2022-11-19 10:48 am (UTC)[Were they playing air hockey or ping pong!? At the speed the puck was flying between the two of them it was hard to tell! One thing was for certain, Asuka was a fun opponent!
While normally the air hockey table was a more barren part of the arcade, apparently the sight of two bombshell beauties going all out, was enough to lure some folks away from the normal entertainment. They had the makings of an audience which is where Rise really shined her brightest. Not wanting to disappoint them, Rise was throwing her body a bit more into her serves, letting her chest bounce or giving a little twist of her hips with her serves.
Of course said extra effort made it a little harder for her to focus on the game, and that caused the puck to careen past her bumper, sliding into her goal for another point. Asuka's side of the table had a few cheers and whistles from her new found fans, which made Rise grin competitively.]
Hey Asuka, since we're attracting so much attention why don't we make things interesting? How would you feel about a friendly wager? If I win this, you have to do a karaoke duet with me on stage over there.
[Rise loved giving the people a show, and since they'd apparently gathered some admirers, why not let Asuka have a little taste of what it's like to be a teen idol? Of course she didn't want to force her to, so that's why she was making it more fun by suggesting it as a wager. Besides, she was rather curious to see what Asuka might want if she won, particularly since people could hear what they were wagering. She wouldn't be so bold as to suggest a kiss in front of all these people, would she? ... Perhaps, but Rise would still do it if she asked.]
no subject
Date: 2022-11-19 02:56 pm (UTC)You know what? Deal! If I win… I want a kiss from you!
[There’s plenty of noise at that - what a revelation and shock!]
no subject
Date: 2022-11-19 10:07 pm (UTC)A kiss? In front of all these people? I accept!
[That elicited a new set of cheers from the crowd, a bit more in the high pitched "oooooh" variety with a few whistles. It seemed like the audience was growing even larger after the bet was made! You'd think they never saw two teenage girls kiss before! Although one or two people did seem to be whispering things like "Isn't that Risette?" or "Nah it can't be right?" which did make Rise a little nervous about someone recording them with their cell.]
Watch the puck ladies and gentlemen! You ain't seen nothing yet!
[Rise dropped the puck down and served a lightning fast bouncing stroke with her bumper. This time she was more determined than ever and added a hint of a spin on her bumper to make the trajectory of the puck veer a bit more.]
no subject
Date: 2022-11-19 10:16 pm (UTC)Got too cocky there..!
no subject
Date: 2022-11-19 10:44 pm (UTC)[She said that last part a little more quietly so that it would only reach Asuka and maybe on or two of the closest people. She wasn't going to break the rules she laid out, but she was doing something that could be considered cheating. What many people didn't know was that Rise had a hidden power called Persona, that didn't really do very much in their world. However she could use her Persona to increase her powers of perception, allowing her to see the flow of the battle field or the people around her. In this way, she was able to more accurately access where to strike for maximum efficiency. The only problem was being fast enough.]
Taaaaake this!
[She swerved her bumper to the corner just as the puck was going that way, and because she'd managed to squeeze the puck between her bumper and the corner in just the right way, it shot out lightning fast to get free, almost as if someone had fired it from a slingshot!]
no subject
Date: 2022-11-19 10:50 pm (UTC)[Asuka tried her best to catch the puck, but the puck was just too fast for her to catch, entering her goal. She had no idea about Rise’s ability, she just knew that she had outmaneuvered her and got in a goal.]
No way…! That was… amazing!
no subject
Date: 2022-11-19 11:05 pm (UTC)[It was Rise's side of the room who got to cheer this time, since she'd finally managed to score a point while her "fanclub" was watching. Her smug little laugh was a mix between a laugh and a hum, and she was feeling just a little proud of Asuka's praise.]
I may not look like it, but I'm quite the air hockey champion! I've never lost in five years, and I don't intend to let that record go just because I like you!
[Of course part of the reason was because she hadn't played anyone besides her cousin and her friends from school, and her friends always seemed to go easy on her.]
I'm ready for you to serve whenever you are~!
no subject
Date: 2022-11-19 11:12 pm (UTC)[Grabbing the puck and setting it up, she eyes everything up, intending on using her piloting skills to make everything just right. Line it up, take aim and let it fly, bouncing off the sides once more to try and confuse Rise.]
no subject
Date: 2022-11-19 11:23 pm (UTC)[She could barely track it! It was moving too fast, and bouncing this way and that so that it threw off her projections. And then?]
Game, Set, Match. Away Team Wins.
[The little voice of the air hockey machine sounded, while both sides erupted in cheers as the match ended. Apparently people were more excited about the prospect of the two of them kissing than a karaoke duet. She forgot that their points from before the audience was watching would count towards Asuka's victory, and that meant she couldn't let a single puck get through at this point.]
Aww, my record!
[She pouted, but mostly for show because as she had said before, she wanted to kiss Asuka anyways.]
no subject
Date: 2022-11-19 11:41 pm (UTC)[Asuka forgot about their earlier score herself, but right now, there was the case of her bet. She would move over to join Rise, a grin on her face]
Sorry about your record, but… that was fun!
no subject
Date: 2022-11-25 02:42 am (UTC)[Rise had marched across the room, taking Asuka by the hand and leading her in front of the air hockey table where everyone could see them. If Asuka wanted to announce in front of everyone that she wanted a kiss? She was going to get a kiss in front of everyone!]
I ask that you all please refrain from using any flash photography, and don't upload this to the internet until I announce my relationship with her publicly. As for you sir? Would you be a doll and stand here while holding this still so I can give this to my producer later? Thank you~!
[The man who was being instructed to hold her cell phone for her was wearing sunglasses and a suit, and seemed to be grumbling under his breath. Rise blew the rest of the audience a kiss, which then made several people who were going for their cell phones gasp in realization. The buzz at the fact that she really was Risette, gave Rise the perfect opportunity to swoop in to pin Asuka to the air hockey table and kiss her quite soundly on the lips.
The gasps and whistles were music to Rise's ears since she did still enjoy the attention, and it was one of the thrills of being a celebrity, but if anything it served to make the kiss even sweeter, because it was scandalously forbidden fruit for an idol to kiss someone in such a forward manner in a public place. It could cost most idols their careers if such a video became public, but Rise had an advantage in that she had taken a break from her career for over a year. In that time she was able to rebrand herself as a more adult teen idol, and she planned to use this public display of affection to not only promote that angle further, but also to encourage other young LGBT people out there. She just hoped Asuka knew what she'd signed up for when she asked to kiss an idol in public!
Unlike their first kiss, this one Rise had been building up for Asuka for kind of a while, and despite the fact that she should probably keep it brief and work safe since they were in public... Rise did get ever so slightly naughty with it? How so? Well rather than just the sensual caress of lips on lips, or the eager press of her lips as she pinned Asuka to the air hockey table, Rise had gone for a full on, open mouthed, tongue wrestling, butt groping kiss! Now the butt groping she was being very careful about since they were getting recorded, but she had her hand beneath Asuka as she was pinned so that she could give her girlfriend's cute booty a small squeeze as she pinned her to the table. She just couldn't resist! The plugsuit just made it stand out so much that she had to feel it! ... That's her excuse and she's sticking to it.
The fact that Rise had her tongue curled around Asuka's was also somewhat hidden by the fact that her lips were pressing against Asuka's in such a way that you couldn't easily tell what was going on behind them, but if one had to guess, they could probably take an educated guess that this kiss had more to it than just lips. Rise finished her kiss with a delighted little hum, causing the full length of her tongue to vibrate against Asuka's, the sound traveling up from her throat and grinding into Asuka's taste buds along her own tongue. She wanted Asuka to not only remember the feel, and sound, of this kiss, but also the taste of it. She wanted this to be etched in Asuka's memory so firmly that whenever she saw the video of the two of them kissing in the future she could remember every vivid little detail of it.
With a certain amount of gusto, Rise helped Asuka back up on her feet in one fluid motion, propping her up with that hand that had been on her butt, making it seem like it had been on her back the entire time. She wasn't sure just how steady Asuka would be on her feet after a kiss like that, because if it wasn't for practice Rise probably would have fainted if someone kissed her like that. She then waved to their audience, beckoning her "camera man" over, to give her back her cell phone.]
That's all folks! Tune in to hear me make my public announcement about my cute girlfriend soon!
I'M SO SORRY, MY TAGS WENT INTO THE SPAM FOLDER
Date: 2022-11-25 05:29 am (UTC)God, she wanted this. She wanted to be snogged like this, their tongues dancing together, her butt being squeezed. There was something so amazing that she just melted into it.
Whatever karma she had that gave her Rise, she was glad she had it.
However, she would be stunned by the kiss and stammered as she tried to find coherent words.]
WOW...
THAT'S OKAY! MY TAGS WERE A LOT LATER THAN I MEANT THEM TO BE!
Date: 2022-11-25 05:37 am (UTC)I told you I'm a good kisser~! So, did I live up to my own hype?
[She was pretty sure she probably didn't hype herself up enough to prepare Asuka judging by her reaction, but she did love to feed her own ego, almost as much as she enjoyed feeding Asuka's.]
We’re both good!
Date: 2022-11-25 05:44 am (UTC)[With the crowd dispersed, Asuka kissed Rise back before holding her close.]
You were amazing. We might be going out, but I am so making sure you are safe! There is no way I’ll let anything harm you!
no subject
Date: 2022-11-25 05:57 am (UTC)Mmmf?!
[Helloooooo surprise kisses! The best kind of kisses! Well at least one of Rise's favorite kinds of kisses when they were a welcome surprise! Clearly she did a good job if this was the kind of reaction she was getting out of Asuka. As she broke off the kiss to speak, Rise was fanning herself with her hand to try to make sure she didn't swoon.]
You'll...
[Oh no... Rise was feeling so moved by Asuka's words she felt like she was gonna cry. She's had a few stalkers before, and even a kidnapping once, but this was the first time she'd ever had her crush promise she'd keep her safe no matter what. She believed it too, since Asuka was such a badass mech pilot.]
Oh Asuka... thank you.
[Don't cry, don't cry!]
Will you... let me stay with you?
no subject
Date: 2022-11-25 06:03 am (UTC)[A beat]
That’s what you mean, right? Not just side by side?
[Did she jump the gun here?]
1/3
Date: 2022-11-25 06:24 am (UTC)[Rise is stunned silent for a moment. She had meant more in the "by her side" sort of stay with her, or maybe just stay over for the night!
...
However...]
2/3
Date: 2022-11-25 06:25 am (UTC)AAAAA! I'd LOVE that! We could snuggle up together every day after school, cook meals for one another, brush each other's hair, take steamy baths together, kiss whenever we wanted, go to parties together, share the same bed, read each other's internet histories, have sex on the kitchen table, watch corny old movies together, help each other with household chores... Ah...
3/3
Date: 2022-11-25 06:26 am (UTC)I think it would probably be best if we tried a sleepover or two first. As much as I'd like to move in with you right away, I might snore or something and drive you crazy. You should have a little bit of a trial period with me before making that kind of commitment.
[As much as she wanted to be crazy, impulsive, and romantically over the top, she still had a practical side. She just hoped she didn't say anything too over the top or embarrassing herself!]
no subject
Date: 2022-11-25 06:36 am (UTC)However, Rise coming down from that high made her calm down as well, making her realize she had mistaken what she had asked. At the same time, though, she was so glad that Rise had enough of a calm head to suggest doing a sleepover first]
That… actually sounds a lot better as a good stepping stone. Sorry, I guess I jumped the gun and misread you.
At the same time, though… I could really use a more friendly face than usual.
no subject
Date: 2022-11-25 06:52 am (UTC)Don't be sorry, I loved it. It means I'm doing a fantastic job of wrapping you around my little finger. I may have jumped the gun a bit with some of the suggestions of things we could do if we lived together myself, but I hope you'll take them with a grain of salt. I'm quite a bit of a tease, and when it comes down to actually acting on my wild impulsive ideas I an be quite shy.
[One of these days she'd have to tell Asuka about her shadow that did a strip tease show on the midnight channel. It's not the sort of story you can tell your girlfriend on your first date, but it was certainly a great ice breaker for a steamier night.]
Sounds like things are a bit rough at home, so why don't you come over to my place after our date? I promise I won't try to take any of your clothes off for our first night together.
[Not that she likely would have had the courage to try.]
