[ Riku disappears first. Vanished in her sleep, in the middle of the night, collapsing in on herself in a shimmer of starlights. This isn't like last time. No warnings, no chances to say goodbye, no hesitation or resistance. She just isn't there.

Lea goes minutes after Riku, in the same way. But she's awake, lounging on her couch, having a conversation as she flips through her phone. Here and then gone, like a flame. This isn't the first time either of them have gone home, but it's the first time it's so abrupt. At least it isn't death. The last time Riku went home was seven years ago. She was gone for a month, and she came back with shorter hair and the Mark of Mastery. The last time Lea went home, no one really noticed. She thought she was used to it by now.

Things are different this time. Disorienting. Lea meets Kai in the training, for real this time. Riku has her memories, or at least most of them. They're hazy, dreamlike, but real. She has them all. She remembers how old she really is and how long she's been gone. She remembers everyone she cares about, and everyone that won't change here. She keeps her ice magic and takes what she's learned here to use there. But time is fluid. She doesn't feel like she's been gone for seven years.

Lea's are gone, for now. She lives everything new and fresh, with the dressing room appearing only in dreams vivid enough to unsettle her.

Things aren't the same for every world.

Things go better than expected.

The core story is the same. The heroes rescue the ones that need it, they bring everyone back, they defeat the darkness, and they go home. How and when and who — these things vary, but they do it all together and they go home together. And then their story is over, at least for now, and they come back.

Unlike how they went out, Lea and Riku reappear together on the beach. Coming back is just as disorienting, and neither has their phone, so they get their bearings and confirm memories with each other, of the dressing room and of home, and then separate to find their friends.

They've been gone two months. ]

[ Hey. What are you doin' there. Lea drops her hands to Isa's hips, and carefully slides them up. Not in an "I'm gonna tickle you" kind of way, but a more sensual, wanting to feel how she feels kind of way. ]

Guess I should keep that in mind for the future.

[i've been reminded that even canon dude Isa/Saix is fairly curvy, so so is this one. she doesn't have as much in the hip department as Lea — few people do — and god knows she's not busty, but. and the toes under Lea's shin is for the same reason as what Lea's doing: skin contact and touch. she shivers a little and stretches under the attention.]

Are you telling me you don't usually go to sleep? You?

I go to sleep just to pass time. You mean something specific?

[ She's no longer an innocent virgin but she's still in the window to play the innocent virgin card, especially since they both know it's utter bullshit. Isa might not be busty but there's enough for Lea to curve her hands along the underside of her breasts, and lean down to nuzzle her face between them. ]

Nah, not when it comes to you. You fall asleep after most activities.

[if need be, Isa knows some decent moves that could put Lea on the floor in about two seconds. oh, but that's nice, she likes that a lot, and frees one hand from under her own head to rest it on the back of Lea's, caught in her messy hair. not to keep her there, just, y'know.]

That's how I let it all sink in. You know...

[ Don't make her say it. She will. She still has her face pressed betwen Isa's breasts, so her speech is muffled, but she sure as shit sounds pleased with herself. Her hands are gonna drop back down to Isa's hips, and then slide over to settle on the soft inner side of her thighs. ]

[say what, something about sinking in and how long that takes for her? (because Lea's an idiot, get it.) all of these things happening are very nice though, please continue.]

I don't, you'll have to elaborate. I'm too distracted by where your face is.

[so deadpan.]

[ No, jeez, her catchphrase. Lea's pouting because obviously, but instead of giving her some sass back she's going to wrap her mouth around a nipple. Hello there. ]

[any further sass from Isa is prevented by the way that totally derails her, making her breath hitch and the toes not wedged under Lea's leg curl. hello, that was somehow unexpected but really good. she's biting her lip, too, but Lea probably can't see that part.]

[ Haha. What was that about doing things to get her to react? She wins. She's the best. Well... maybe. It's hard to think about things like that at a time like this. This is still new for her, and she's not sure what to do, so more of what she's doing is exploring, seeing what she can do with her tongue and trying to figure out what Isa likes the most. Her hands aren't moving yet, but they will. ]

[Lea might be the best, it's true. exploring is good and what Isa likes the most is literally anything Lea chooses to do right now (except stopping).

Isa's breathing is definitely shaky now, and she tangles her fingers in Lea's hair.]

That's... really nice.

[ Hmmmm that's hot. She likes that. If it's really nice over here, it should be just as good when she switches over to the other side, dragging her tongue lightly first and then going back to sucking. She's also going to gently slide one of her hands forward, cupping up against her. Y'know, baby steps. ]

[Isa just has to remember that baby steps are needed for more than one activity here, and honestly it's nice, having more time for both of them to get really thoroughly worked up. not that she ever stopped being worked up from before tbh; just that light touch is enough to make her spread her legs a bit more, and the continuing everything has a little breathless moan escaping her.]

[ Fuck! Lea's quickly getting overwhelmed on her own, even though she's not the one receiving direct stimulation right now. (Although who are we kidding, having your mouth on a pair of excellent breasts is highly stimulating.) She pulls her hand back and moves both of them up to cup under Isa's jawline, so she can pull her face away with a deep breath and then move in to kiss her hard, mumbling against her mouth: ]

Sorry. You're just gorgeous.

[Isa's headvoice: stooooooop! it's good that there's kissing and face-cradling and general sexy behavior because otherwise Lea might've gotten smacked for flustering her again. as it is she gets shoved a tiny bit just on general principle, but then Isa's hands link at the back of Lea's neck to keep her there, and she hooks a leg around the backs of Lea's thighs. she's not going to try and deny it or say that Lea's delusional (even though she is), but clearly by her silence and flushed face and the little shove she disagrees to some degree. you'd think eight years of single-minded attention from an actual Gorgeous™ woman would've gotten her used to this, but no.]

[ Oh yes, delusional, clearly. She must be imagining how hot Isa is at all times. Clearly. The kissing is excellent and she could probably do it all day, but with Isa's hands on her neck she can't go anywhere else anyway. Which... is only bad in that— ]

Y'keep me trapped here 'n I can't use my mouth 'nywhere else.

[christ. Isa might die. they should probably address this issue at some point later, definitely not now. she huffs and frees Lea, but at least she's smiling a little again, aware that she's being dumb and delaying her own pleasure for no reason. she's honestly really curious about what this is going to be like with someone else. good, obviously, but surely different.]

[ Hmm. Better escape before she gets trapped again. In that case she'll give her another quick smooth on the mouth, then drop down to kiss her neck, then at her collar, and then drag her mouth in an open kiss down one of her breasts. Her hands drop back down to Isa's hips, since obviously Isa isn't going to need all the build up she did. Probably? It's hard, but she's already getting over her weird virgin heebie jeebies. The realization of congrats, you had sex, and you're not actually that different. Now she just gets to be insecure because she's never done this before. But when has that ever stopped her? ]

[that's never stopped Lea from doing anything, as far as Isa knows. and Isa needs almost no buildup, she's. quite wet from orgasming once already, and just everything in general, and she's used to coming at least twice in most sessions, uh. she's glad Lea's already chilling out about things, but it's not surprising, either, Lea's just like that.

Isa's removing her hands to the sheets until Lea gets settled, also. don't want to overwhelm her or anything, and there's nowhere else to really put them. the kisses get another little shiver out of her, because they're really nice.]

[ Well, good, because she knows kissing at least feels good, and it's not hard to do. It's fun for her, too, because this is an intimate, relaxing way for her to take her time and explore Isa's body. She lingers for a little longer, mouthing and sucking at her nipple, before dropping further down to kiss along her ribs and stomach, seeing how she feels and where the dips and bones are. It's extremely hot, too, just to be able to have her face here, even before she gets anywhere near her hips. Lea does stop short just below her bellybutton, like maybe she'll see if she can leave a hickey here. ]

[at least Isa has really nice abs for that. she's not super ripped and defined but they're there. everything Lea does seems to get little shivers and shudders out of Isa, and she's breathing a little harder. sometimes she forgets how hot just touching and kissing can be, and that should be a crime.]

[ Hmmmmm hickies later, when she figures out how to do it. They're both too impatient for that right now, so she slides back and moves her hands to Isa's inner thighs again, so she can move them more clearly apart. ]

..hey. You have to tell me if I'm doing something you like, got it?

[Isa rolls her eyes but smiles again, reaching to gently flick Lea on the forehead.]

I think it'll be obvious, but alright.

[even if it's just letting more noise escape her, she will try this, for Lea. she will try and say it with words, but there's no guarantee.]

Yeah, you think that now.

[ She bats at the flicking hand and makes a face at her, then goes back to concentrating on what she's about to do. It's fine. Anyone with a brain has known Lea wasn't into men for years. She wears plaid, for fuck's sake. This should come naturally. Whatever. She'll start by getting herself settled and back to kissing, this time Isa's inner thigh. ]

[plaid with subtle leopard print, two vests, and knee-high boots. no one ever questioned it. Isa helps by spreading them a little more and wiggling sort of in place so her hips are helpfully tilted up a bit.]

I'd challenge you to get me to make it more obvious, but that's asking a lot for your first time.

[~]

[ Hello there. That's kind of overwhelming, but in a good way. It makes her brain short-circuit. ]

And yet, you're doing it anyway.

[ Bitch. That's fine, this is why she likes her. Lea wiggles around so she can loop both of her arms under Isa's thighs, so she can keep a good grip on them and have them at least partially on her shoulders. ]
