Somewhere in Paris, Wednesday Afternoon

[dojima_hime]

It was cold.  There was snow.  In July.

Rikku and Dōjima greatly disapproved of this situation, even with cute penguins. 

Which was probably why they had grabbed a portal and gone back to Paris, with the intention of seeing exactly how much damage they could inflict on the shopping districts with some quality Girl Time. 

Pity the poor shopgirls.

"Ano, Rikku," Dōjima said, grinning as she flipped through the rack, "What do you think, black or pink?"

"He was shy," Rikku said loyally, "and I kinda rushed things, sometimes. It's okay. I mean, people have different timings, right? Reno's completely the other way around."

She blushed harder for the rest of it. "Are you ... you mean. Is that you teasing, or do you ... like girls and all that? I mean, and guys, too, I'm guessing."

Well. For Romeo's sake, she'd imagine it'd have to be a "both" sort of situation.

She considered the phone, and then held it out at arm's length, pointed back at them. "We can just get really close and hope?"

"No, you're right, everyone's got their own comfort level, and I shouldn't make fun of the repressed-boy." She still thought he was a tool, especially based on some of the other things Rikku had said.

She stopped fussing with the stockings and leaned against the wall, considering how to phrase her answer. "I was teasing," she said, a small smirk twitching at the corner of her mouth, "mostly."

"I like boys. I like boys a lot," Dōjima answered. "I just never saw a reason to turn down an interested playmate. Does that make sense?"

"Well, that, and in my society, it's rather frowned on, and I enjoy pissing off my father. Kissing girls is what got me tossed out of my last school, you know."

"No, it was frustrating," Rikku admitted with a frown. "I mean, if I'm faster and he's slower, that doesn't make him bad, but that doesn't make me bad either, right?"

She nodded at the rest of it. "It does. It, uh. I mean, some of the Al Bhed, they'll ... you know. You have two aunts, instead of an aunt and an uncle; the Yevonites cared about that kinda thing but we didn't. I just ... didn't know anybody that was both, until I got here. Jude was, and I kinda ... didn't get it, I guess."

Adjusting her own stockings so she didn't have to look up, she managed to blurt out the rest. "I keep kissing girls, whenever I'm not me. I don't know why, it just happens."

"No, it does not make you bad, Rikku." Kuso, she was going to wring this Canadiaiana-kid's neck if she ever got her hands on him. "Just different than him."

"I'm not exactly bi, sweetie, I'm more of a hedonist," she said, bemused. "I'm not normally attracted to girls, I just make an exception every now and then when I want company."

The blurting was cute, though, and Dōjima went to wrap her arms around Rikku in a very platonic hug. "Hey, now, there's nothing wrong with kissing girls. I'm of the firm opinion that sometimes? Girls kiss better than boys, because we know what we like. Besides, we're more cuddly, and have nice curves..."

"I get seriously impulsive," Rikku laughed, leaning back against Dojima. "And they do, they're kinda ... snuggly? And wow, Pops would kill me, if I were ... you-know. He's mad enough about me dating boys."

And that had been Jude, who was very chill and non-threatening. Who knew what Cid would make of Reno? That would be ... yeah. Messy.

She giggled, holding the camera out at arm's-length and grinning. "See? This makes for a nice shot, I bet."

Dōjima smirked at the camera as Rikku took the picture, leaning into the other girl a bit more. "They'll love it. I bet they're ripping up the campus trying to find us."

"Your pops isn't going to kill you," she said, reaching out to tweak her nose before starting to dig through her pile again. "He loves you, and he's right. Boys are always bad news. See what bad influences ours are on us?" Riiiiight. This was totally Romeo & Reno's fault.

"What next? Do we want to keep going with a theme?" she asked, holding up a black pinstripe corset. "Could be cute..."

"They'd better be!" Rikku laughed, bouncing on her toes. "If they're just sitting and going 'hey, that's a nice picture,' I'm gonna be hurt."

Right. Like Reno wasn't smashing down walls and hunting for them like some deranged predator. She believed that, seriously.

"Ooooh, it's like business-lingerie," she grinned. "I'll take the pink, you take the black?"

She was already shrugging out of the fancy red bra and reaching for the pinstriped pretties.

Shopping was awesome.

"We're all professional and stuff," Dōjima proclaimed, shrugging out of the red and into the black. "Damn. Help me lace the back good and tight?"

Re: OCD the 1st

"We're filing motions and injunctions," Rikku grinned, stepping over and tugging on the laces. "It's a conflict of interest! My client will not accept your terms! Tell me how tight is too tight?"

"When it looks like I'm about to pop out of the top? Pull it an inch tighter," she said, flipping her hair and grinning over her shoulder. "Don't worry about hurting me. I can take a little pain, especially in the name of Art!"

Re: OCD the 1st

"If you say so," Rikku nodded, giving both laces a good, hard yank, and then tightening her hold and pulling again. "And if you start screaming, and they all run in here, I'm gonna say it's totally your fault."

Re: OCD the 1st

"No screaming," Dōjima promised, adjusting herself and nodding happily. "There, that should be good. Well? What do you think?" She struck a vampish pose and grinned. "Come on over, then, and give us a cuddle."

Re: OCD the 1st

"You look awesome," she nodded, adjusting the straps on her own ensemble.

Rikku stepped closer and rested her head on Dojima's shoulder. "Like so?"
