Theater Kid's March Comes in Like a Lion

[thestarknows]

⭐ Who: Junna Hoshimi... and you!
⭐ When: Throughout March!
⭐ Where: In Yumemigaoka!
⭐ What: March catch-all!
⭐ Warnings: Junna's grappling with some heavy stuff, so... threads could get into parents not being great, some homophobia, and other things. There's also some implicit sleeping together (nothing NSFW though) in the Lisa and Junna thread, if that's a thing you prefer to avoid!

It's okay. [She looks at the table, then back at Lisa. And she thinks about their new life together. Living together now.]

Because we'll be back, right?

[traceofeffort]

[That idea, that they can just. Come back, that this isn't just a one-time date but something they can do together as a couple... it feels weird to admit to herself, but it's kind of a blind spot? Relief flows through her, and Lisa lets out a breath.]

Yeah. We'll be back. Just... just tell me when, okay? I'll make time.

[thestarknows]

[Being together, rather than just dating -- and being a unit -- is going to take getting used to. In a good way.]

I will. Promise. [She holds a hand out.] Ready to head back home?

[traceofeffort]

[Lisa takes the offered hand, with a soft smile.]

Sure. Let's head home, then. [...she has still not gotten used to home being the same place for both of them and shivers in happiness briefly.] Just don't expect me to cook anything, I'll probably fall asleep at the stove.

[reluctants]

[ Illya nods so strongly. Like Junna thought up this idea all by herself, and wasn't just peer pressured into it by Illya by complete accident.. ]

Right, right! So that means you're going today, right? As soon as you're done walking, right?

[thestarknows]

Don't worry. I can handle making something. [She squeezes Lisa's hand and smiles -- and there's a moment where she, too, thinks how amazing it is that they're going home together.]

I'll see what I can put together.

[thestarknows]

R-Right! Yes. Soon as I'm done walking.

[Which... should be soon. Her legs are starting to burn a little from all of the walking.] ...Th-thanks for the push.

[traceofeffort]

I'll be counting on you, then.

[A beat, and she grins.]

Just like always.

[reluctants]

[ She blinks for a moment. Something about Illya seems momentarily surprised by the thanks, especially over this, but.. ]

Sorry if I was being a little too harsh about it. [ Look, she has to say that, even in the face of the thanks! Illya isn't fully used to being this bold, it usually only happens when she gets so into things that she lets herself go..

Maybe it was just because she was that worried about Junna. ]

It's just.. I really don't like seeing you this way, you know? No one should have to feel bummed out about this stuff when none of us can help it!

[thestarknows]

It's... it's okay. I...

[She blinks with surprise at the apology. It takes her brain a second to catch up. She still feels like she's thinking though molasses sometimes.

There's a small smile, though.] Y...yeah. I'm--I'm trying to get better. It's... all still catching up with me, I guess.
