~Ayame's p.o.v.~ I sat in the plane seat enjoying it; I ordered a bit of soju and looked around. "I haven't been to Korea in so long!" I looked over to Himari while taking a sip of my wine.
"I know, right! So exciting!" I let out a soft smile.
"Whoo! To Korea, we go~!" Himari seemed really happy.
I started to think to myself, just some shower thoughts, you know, 'Why is a chili called a chili if it's hot?'
"What you thinkin' about?" Himari looked over to me as I thought, 'Can blind people see their dreams?' "Oh, just shower thoughts."
Himari tilted her head at me a bit. "Like what?"
I let out a yawn. "Just random stuff like, can blind people see their dreams? Or why do our feet smell but noses run?"
Himari seemed to understand.
'How come we can drink a drink and not food a food?' I thought to myself, and these random thoughts just seemed to pop into my head.
"Let's see....mattering on when the person became blind matters if they can see their dreams or not, if they were born blind they could not see their dreams. And with the other thing, it's 'cause feet can smell bad and noses, well snot can drip down, I guess? Like a flowing river, or sometimes they call it a running river."
I nodded. "Oh, I see, I see."
Himari let out a playful smile, "Any other questions~?"
'Will you go out with me?' for some reason, it just popped into my head a few seconds later after I realized my face flushed pink. "No, I don't have any more questions..."
"Are you sure?~" she let out a light smirk, her tone a bit smug.
"Yes, I'm sure!" I chuckled.
A few thoughts then came to my head as I began overthinking the possibilities. 'If I did ask Ari out, would she say no or yes? Would her saying yes-- us dating-- get in the way of our job?' I began rubbing my temples, scrunching my brows together. 'Let's say she said no. Would she hate me and stay away from me cause I'm not straight?'
"Ugh..." I let out a groan.
"Hm? Something wrong?" Himari raised a brow at what I said.
I look over to her for a second, "Ah, it's nothing. Just a bit worried about the job, you know?"
Himari nods as I chug my cup of soju, ordering another one.
~time skip~
They get to the end of their flight. They had made it to North Korea.
"Phew, this is gonna be a hard one, ain't it?" Himari glanced my way while asking.
"Ha, what do you think? I'm too weak to take this on by myself?" I let out a slight grin, becoming a bit smug.
"I would never!" Himari pouted a bit as I let out a chuckle.
We walked through the airport halls, trying to find the way out as we have never been to North Korea. The airport was full of people talking, and a few children were screaming; I let out a few sighs, annoyed at the sounds of yells.
"You alright, Ayame-chan?" Himari tilted her head a bit.
"I'm fine, it's just that these kids are annoying, they whine too much..." I looked up to her, being too short to look her in the eye correctly.
"Need me to cheer you up?" Himari let out a grin.
I raised my brow, confused about what she could be thinking, "Sure, what are you gonna do, Ari?"
In the blink of an eye, Himari leaned in, tilting my head up towards her.
~Himari p.o.v.~
I noticed the blush appearing on Ayame's face, 'is she really this flustered just by me leaning in?'
I continued to lean in, placing a soft kiss onto Ayame's lips. Surprised by the fact that she kissed back, a warmness soon took over my face. I thought she'd back away or push me off, yet she didn't. Her hands were trembling slightly as she gripped my shoulders, pulling me in a bit, gently transitioning it into a french kiss. My face reddened as I kissed back, slipping my tongue into her mouth also. Her legs weakened a bit as she soon pulled away, panting a bit.
"Haa..." she let out a heavy breath, her face flushed pink as she softly said, "Thanks... for cheering me up..."
I let out a smile, trying to calm my blush down, "Of course, I'd do anything for you."
I couldn't help but feel butterflies well up in my stomach, seeing Ayame's soft side which she rarely shows I mumbled, "How the hell are you so adorable...?" I didn't realize I had said it aloud till she said something.
"H-huh..? Me adorable?" she put her face into her palm, "Let's just get out of here, ok?"
I couldn't do anything but nod and follow her out of the airport.
