[ 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. ]

[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.]

[cinderlea]

[ 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?

[moonstrualcycle]

[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.]

[cinderlea]

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. ]

[moonstrualcycle]

[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.

[~]

[cinderlea]

[ 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. ]

[moonstrualcycle]

Yeah, how about that. Or maybe it's that you're gullible.

[she loev u, Lea. but ooh, that's not a move she was expecting, well done. she looks even more interested in what's going on now, and her breathing is a little faster again from anticipation.]

[cinderlea]

What makes you think it's not both?

[ She's just talking for the sake of it now, and because she doesn't really know where to start. Shit. Okay. She licks her lips to wet them, and sort of smushes her face forward. She's not shy, and Isa smells nice, and she wants to just go for it and mold her tongue against her to see what it feels like. ]

[moonstrualcycle]

[anything she was going to say is cut off by that, and she goes limp, letting out a shuddery breath and closing her eyes. she'll encourage Lea in a second, but she'll let her find her own way, just to get started. she puts her hand gently on the side of Lea's head, though, fingertips just sliding into her hair.]

[cinderlea]

[ Hmmm. She tastes nice, different than Lea herself, but it's still a similar experience on the tongue. She's so soft, too, and it really just makes her tongue along her clit and the soft inner folds around it, humming appreciatively. ]

[moonstrualcycle]

Oh, shit.

[not to compare, but this is completely different from what she's ever experienced in the past, and she really likes it, the gentleness is enough to send a rush of heat through her. also surprise, Lea, Isa's incredibly sensitive and responsive. did she just almost clench her fingers in Lea's hair? maybe.]

[cinderlea]

[ She makes a little "hm?" noise to question if this is a good oh shit or a bad oh shit, but in the spirit of being positive she doesn't move her tongue away, and instead presses as much of her mouth against Isa as she can, testing out a gentle speed of licking her clit directly. ]

[moonstrualcycle]

[don't be dense, Lea, of course it's good. although, granted, Isa really only swears if something's very bad, like when her emotions are running out of her control again. she brings her other hand up to press to her mouth, but it does nothing to muffle the squeak the direct licking gets out of her. it's not too much, yet, but it might be soon.]

[cinderlea]

[ She's just dense by nature, it's not her fault. Her grip tightens a little but she doesn't linger there too long, not wanting her to get overstimulated. Well, she does stay where she is, but instead of her tongue she wets her lips again and brushes them against her, to see if that's any different. ]

[moonstrualcycle]

[oh that's better. she was tensed up and didn't realize it, and relaxes again now, resting her hand up high on her chest.]

You could um. Try something like I did to you, with um. Sucking.

[doing is one thing, putting it to words is something else, apparently. but she's trying!]

[cinderlea]

[ Direction to go off of is good, it makes her feel a little more confident and she's happy to oblige, wrapping her lips around Isa's clit and sucking gently. It's probably not as much as she wants, but. ]

[moonstrualcycle]

[it's not, but that's better, it means Lea won't get her off in two and a half minutes. she's extremely turned on but she also has stamina and very little drive to like. demand that someone do something to her. it still feels amazing, and she's still breathing erratically, so Lea must be doing something right. she's gonna just. get her fingers caught in Lea's unruly hair and admire her and feel a lot of feels over how they got here.]

[cinderlea]

[ Good. Fingers in her hair is super hot, and she likes it. She likes being where she is, period, and even though this is a new experience she can already tell she's hooked. Lea has always been someone who liked making other people happy, but this is a different level of that, and it's Isa. And honestly, she might be a dumbass, but she can tell Isa's needed it for a while. She's not trying to get her to finish immediately, luckily, but she does speed up what she's doing, cutting it occasionally with slow, deliberate drags of her tongue to see what kind of reactions she can get, and so no one thing starts to be too much. ]

[moonstrualcycle]

[god, that probably started when they were kids and Isa discovered she could scritch Lea's head like a dog and get her to go all boneless. it was a good way to shut her up, i bet. anyway, it's less that she's needed this for a while, because before this it'd been the two months Lea was gone plus the two weeks or so between Isa recompleting and ending up here, and more that she needed Lea. without even knowing it, for a long time. that's a lot of why this is so different for her. all of it's good, and she wouldn't be able to place any one thing that she likes more or that feels better than anything else, just that it's happening and Lea's the one doing it is enough to get her there eventually, but...]

If you want to, you could— fingers.

[she doesn't even want to talk too loudly or too much, like it would break this bubble they're in.]

[cinderlea]

[ Oh. She's glad Isa's mentioned it, though, because it was a thing Lea had penned in the back of her mind to try when it was her turn to do this, and she'd already become so overwhelmed that she'd forgotten it. She hums against her to show she understands, then softly slides a hand up over Isa's thigh and then dips it down between them so she can feel it out, exploring folds and places her mouth hasn't gotten to yet, and working to get her fingers nice and wet. ]

[moonstrualcycle]

[Isa would drop her head back and relax, but she wants to watch and be able to see Lea, that feels important right now. her breathing is so shaky right now and her heart is racing, she hasn't felt this off-balance in a while, but it's alright, that's good sometimes! Lea's hair is like a lifeline under her fingers, and there's a slight tremble in her legs.]

That's really nice....

[cinderlea]

[ Hear that? That's the sound of Lea's ego expanding. The emotional connection here is the real star, but now that she's able to explore a new side of Isa, and see her in a sexual way, it's extremely hot to be doing this at all, to make her feel good and hopefully get her off. Her eyes were half-lidded, but they close completely when she says that, in pure bliss, and she presses two of her fingers inside. ]

[moonstrualcycle]

[Isa's definitely, one hundred percent going to die, maybe. her Heart is racing too, and she's gratified to see that reaction from Lea, right before she lets a soft little "oh" escape at the fingers, because fuck that's what this needed. Lea will be able to feel her clench around them, needily, because that's always a good start for her but she's also come once already and is extremely turned on.]

1y 3mo later

[cinderlea]

[ God, imagine if she was good at this, and not just an enormous, inexperienced dweeb. She's into it, that much is obvious, but it's also turning her on more and she isn't really sure how to pace herself or balance between nerves, going for it, and breathing. Speaking of that one, she moves away to rest the side of her face on Isa's thigh, gripping it with her free hand and trying to catch her breath. That's inconvenient though, so she props herself up on the free arm, leaning over Isa with her full height. The hand between her legs hasn't really stopped moving, and now she has a better angle for it.

About her mouth: ]

Sorry, gimme a sec.

this is fine

[moonstrualcycle]

[not many people are genuinely good at this sort of thing, not that either of these two would know that. it's the feelings and emotions it elicits that that are important, and Isa's feeling a lot right now. she wants to wrap herself up in Lea and never stop this that they're doing.

she probably looks adoring, and reaches up to sink her other hand into Lea's hair along with the first, and tugs her face down to kiss her chin, the corners of her mouth, her cheeks. Isa's breathless, her hips rocking gently against Lea's hand, and wants more but understands the need for air.]

You're amazing.
