Off To The Fair!

AH! A Fair was coming to japan and there was no way she was going to miss it! Cicilia did so love carnivals and festivals and all those fun things... in principle. She had never had the opportunity during her childhood to ever go to any of these things, her training taking taking priority over everything nonessential. Her parents wouldn't even take her and her sibling to Oktoberfest, despite the fact it was running for at least 16 days straight back in germany! They would walk through the streets for the short time it would take to get to their car, seeing all the beautiful lights, smelling the food and seeing the people crawling out of the woodwork to meet them both...

But NOW she had escaped all of that! Now she could actually go now that one was in town! And who better to take with her than the girl she loved... She had a pretty good feeling that Sayumi loved these kinda places too... The stuffed-animal booths, all the games and rides, the sweet foods and beautiful colors for them to enjoy... but more specifically, to spend time together... Cicilia had been doing everything possible to spend time with her girlfriend from foregoing training some days to tossing out her gaming plans in others... Every time she saw her, the Juggernaut just wanted to do something with her, be near her some way... Find her sitting on the couch? Sit next to her and snuggle her... See her all curled up in bed? Lay down right next to her and fall asleep with her... Sayumi had her under a spell... and under that spell, she would take her to the Fair!

She had found out about it over a flier she found when she was walking to the gym one day, and it was today she would present it to her partner... One day, she would find her partner busy doing something in the kitchen, an insideous smile creeping across her face... Without warning, she would sneak up behind her, throwing her arms around her and giving her BIG smooches along her neck, tracing them up to her cheek eventually....

"Hey... wanna go with me to this thing...?" She'd ask, unfolding her arms from around her lovely girlfriend, revealing the flier she found, allowing her to look it over. "Please say yes..."

It took a steady hand, a keen eye, and the proper restraint. All it took was just one misstep and the delicate balance would be lost. It was no different than a dance, two partners in a twirling embrace or a symphony where one off note could spell ruin. Master Chef Sayumi was had only just completed preparations for her latest masterpiece and now was looking it over with intense scrutiny before placing the finishing touch.

It was fine. Carefully she lifted the final piece of the culinary puzzle suspending it up to linger over the rest of her handiwork. With narrowed eyes she lowered it down, lining everything up just right. It was done. She had poured her heart and soul into this meal, and now it was time to savor the fruits of her labor.

Leaning back slowly, she placed her hands on her hips and mentally pat herself on the back for a job well done. Reaching down she picked up the peanut butter and jelly sandwich she had just made in both hands, prepared to eat it when she was viciously assaulted from behind. She jumped slightly as Cicilia wrapped her arms around her, giving a soft mousy squeak in response. Before she could really react with playful protest, Cicilia was already placing kisses along her neck. Not just soft pecks either, big juicy ones that made the girl shiver.

Easing back into Cicilia she hand put her sandwich back down onto the plate to gently hood the arms around her. She wiggled a bit in Cicilia's clutches happily, a willing captive if she was going to treat her this gently. As the boxer's kisses traveled up her neck and along her cheek, she slowly turned her head enough to provide her a worthy final destination by bringing their lips together. She sighed pleasantly, unsure what she did to earn this little surprise, though knowing Cicilia it could have just been she had looked cute from afar. It didn't take much of a reason for her girlfriend to smother her with affection, she was a bit spoiled with it.

Sayumi may have interrupted the girl partway into the question. She had just assumed she knew what the something she wanted was. It was a bit early to be rolling around together, but she was going about asking Sayumi in the best possible way. Once Cicilia had slipped back from her and withdrew the flier, she seemed slightly confused, face reddening with embarrassment over what she had been assuming.

"Hmm? O-oh..." Sayumi turned to face Cicilia, reaching out to take the offered flier. Most of it was written in Japanese, though an English translation seemed to have been added towards the bottom, likely in an attempt to draw in tourists. A festival... She scanned the differences between the Japanese characters and what was written in English with a soft snicker at how nondescript the translation actually was. It was a local affair, a celebration of country harvest and the yearly orchid showcase. It boasted food, flowers, and fun, all of which were right up her alley.

It had been ages since she attended an event like this of any sort. As a child, her parents use to always frequent the local matsuri festivals held in town or the next ones over. Steeped in fine food, culture, costumes, and best of all, fireworks for everyone to sample. At some point though they had just stopped going. It wasn't really the cool thing to do either, so even her circle of friends wasn't interested. As she fell into training and auditioning to be an idol, any free time had been sucked away... Ever since moving out on her own she hadn't given it much thought until now.

Looking up from the flier she gave Cicilia one of her pouting squinty eyed looks. Did Cicilia really think she would say no to this? To her? "Of course I am going to say yes, you big goof." She giggled, offering the poster back to the boxer. "But after I eat. I don't want it to go to waste... Want half?"

Judging by the blush on her face, Cicilia deduced that Sayumi assumed her loving on her was asking for something much more... intimate. T'was a good guess... After all, this wouldn't have been the first time she tried something like that... In fact, it was a lot like this situation except they had a lot less clothes on... and it was late at night. In anycase, her girlfriend's agreement to go with her filled her heart with joy! Great! This would've been her first festival ever and she was going with the girl she loved! SHE WAS SO EXCITED RIGHT NOW! The German RARELY ever got the excited about anything, especially about going outside.... and being around.... people... A terrible thing indeed but with Sayumi at her side, she might just be able to brave it!

"Thank you! It's gonna be so much fun!" She cheered, placing a BIG kiss RIGHT on her girlfriend's lips! Did she think her partner would deny her...? Well... no... not really. She wouldn't have thrown the idea out there if she thought her sweet, bubbly partner would be against it. Still, she respected her enough to ask her anyway! Especially if asking her came in the form of making out with her...

Cicilia took back the poster, her attention drawn to the sammich Sayumi had so PAINSTAKINGLY crafted over countless seconds, her bread, PB and Jelly culminating into a masterpiece few could even hope to touch... And she was being offered half. It was times like these that REALLY made their relationship worth it... Sure, the kissing and the hugging and all was nice, but these small acts of kindness were the real heart-fluttery goodness. And besides... She loved peanut butter and jelly!

"...You're too good to me." Cicilia giggled softly, pressing her lips to Sayumi's in a little thank-you gesture before reaching for her half of sandwich. Like magic, the thing would be gone almost instantly, the german wasting NO time in devouring it! She... could've done without the crunchy peanut-butter but like most things her partner created, it was just perfect... Cicilia, in her enthusiasm, had somehow gotten peanut butter and jelly all over her lips and cheeks, leaving her quite messy... What, was she supposed to RESTRAIN herself while eating a PB&J? Whatever the case, Cicilia was now less than presentable and the nearest towel was out of arms reach! What ever shall she do...? More specifically... What would Sayumi do...?

"Goodness, I didn't know you like flowers and stuff so mu-mmmm!" Sayumi bumped into the counter as she was pushed back with the big kiss, making the plate clatter lightly. Her fingers slipped around Cicilia's waist, tugging her a bit closer as she kissed her back. While their lips didn't pop when they separated, she went out of her way to make a popping sound after the fact with a small giggle.

As Cicilia reached for the sandwich, Sayumi gave her hand a playful slap. "Hold on, let me cut it in half first." She turned back around, sticking her backside out a but to bump Cicilia away from her and the sandwich. She brandished a knife, cutting the mid day snack in half along the diagonal before offering up the plate for Cicilia to choose her half.

No sooner had it left the plate than Cicilia had devoured it. Sayumi was awe and horrorstruck at the same time. "Do you even chew!?" The boxer had pretty much inhaled the half of sandwich before Sayumi had even touched hers. She reached out, wiping a bit of strawberry jam and peanut butter from Cicilia's face. She held out her finger to her girlfriend, feeding her the messy remains on the top of her finger with a giggle.

"Go clean up and get ready before I take over the bathroom." Sayumi was rather notorious by now for taking far more time prepping herself for outings. A festival was a place to get fancied up for after all, in her eyes. She assumed by the time she finished her half of sandwich and cleaned up that Cicilia would be ready.

YES she inhaled the sandwich and Cicilia didn't regret it! It was a GOOD Sammich with just the right balance of peanut butter and jelly for each of them to bring the other out. Before Sayumi could even take a bite out of her own, the boxer had completely consumed her half... well besides the bits that were all over her face. She smiled knowingly at her partner's question, her skin tingling at her touch as her finger graces across her cheeks and lips, helping clear up the mess a little bit... She stared warmly at her partner all the while, not bothering to mention that she made a mess on purpose for a moment like this... So sweet and soft...

When her partner offered her finger out to her, Cicilia slowly wrapped her lips around the tip, giving it a long, soft suckle as her tongue slipped around it, her eyes drooping closed as she took in the sweet flavor... ALLL for teasing purposes! She simply couldn't help it... It was too good of an opportunity!

After what was no doubt an enjoyable experience for them both, her partner commanded her to get cleaned up before she hogged the bathroom. Aww... they couldn't get ready together...? Too bad... Cicilia gave her partner a soft little nuzzle leaning in a little as if to tease at a kiss before slipping back to the bathroom to get all washed up. After a good couple of minutes, of scrubbing her face clean, Cicilia would emerge from the bathroom, her cheeks and lips all nice and clean... even with a nice sheen of red lip-gloss across them! Of course, she was still wearing her trade-mark hoodie and shorts. Didn't feel like getting UBER fancy to go to a fair. Whether Sayumi was finished with her sandwich or not, Cicilia would sashay right up to her partner as if she were ALL dressed up, planting a long and loving kiss on her lips... WELL there went the lipstick.... Oh well. Worth it.

"Your turn, beautiful." She whispered into her ear before placing another one on her cheek.

Despite being a massive worker, even someone like Pyrena needed a break from it all.

Not to say that she doesn't enjoy it. Battling in the ring and getting better in the gym, the Red Amazonian had made progress but even she could admit that she needed to get out more. There is a lot more to life than working out and fighting. Something she needs to bash into her own brain.

So the Greek made sure that today this was her time to get outside and do something fun. Something to take her mind off things and just enjoy herself. What to do? Go to some shops? See a movie? Watch a sports game live? 

Hmmm...well there is this fair that just came into Japan....

Jeez, when's the last time she had been to a fair? A decade or more probably. She had liked going to the fair, lots of fun to be had there. It's just that she hasn't had much opportunities to go to one. There were a lot of things that took her attention back then. She had promised that she would go to one. One day. Then it turned into two. Then three. Then six. Then a month, then ten, then four years....

So yes, now's probably a better time than anything to go.

This time, she managed to force herself to go to the carnival and it was actually pretty wonderful. She saw the rides, that big merry-go-round, the bumper cars, popcorn, candy floss, it certainly had that fun fair feeling that reminded the Red Amazonian. There was so many things she could do and her eyes tracked to see which she could tackle first. Pyrena only came by her lonesome, while many have come with either a massive group or just a pair, there's weren't a lot to of people she could really ask to bring along .Sure, it's a shame. But that meant she can just do whatever she wants. Yay for that.

She didn't came in all fancy, a scarlet red hoodie, black sports leggings and high-tops is what she wore, the vivid red hair tied in a ponytail. She was just Pyrena. Not some gladiator woman. She could get used to that.

Perhaps she could start with some candy floss. That would be a good idea. Get that, and maybe she could go on the bumper cars...or that cool ride over there...God, there were a lot of choices and so little time in the day. Best start with the candy floss machine first....

She hadn't thought anything really of the offered finger. Just Sayumi being Sayumi. Once Cicilia had wrapped her lips around it however, it was pretty clear the boxer was feeling playful. She was quiet as the woman did her thing, allowing her to curl her tongue and lick at her digits. When she finally pulled away, Sayumi bit her lip lightly. "You should... Maybe do stuff like that next time... I mean without the..." She gestured her finger around Cicilia's face to the remaining smears of PB&J.

As Cicilia nuzzled her Sayumi gave a defeated huff as if trying to get the boxer to go get ready was like herding cats. When she didn't get so much as a kiss before the girl departed she narrowed her eyes, cheeks puffing up in one of her adorable little looks she made when she was slightly mad, but not in a serious way. As the boxer trotted off, likely amused by herself, Sayumi would call after her. "Rude!" She picked up her sandwich, taking a big bite as she ate it with a huff.

By the time Cicilia had finished, Sayumi was waiting outside of the bathroom, clothes cradled in her arms. As her girlfriend moved in to give her a kiss, she didn't press to her lips, but instead her palm as the wrestler had just outstretched her hand to intercept her. Clearly this was what she hot for being such a tease. She kept her hand to Cicilia's face as she circled the woman until she was in the bathroom and shut the door, letting the lock click into place so she could get ready.

Sayumi as one could expect took quite awhile. She always did when she was getting ready. A shower, a bit of hair styling, makeup... It all took time. When she emerged finally she was dressed in one of her pink dresses with black trim, save for the short cut skirt with had white frills along the bottom. It was a a cute little number with puffy sleeves she tended to wear a bunch, but normally with other accessories, chief among them black leggings. Today she went without, and work a pair of her brown leather booties that rose just above her ankles with black socks. She had ever clips in her hair depicting various flowers. It seemed fitting given what the fair was for. "All set."

When Cicilia went in for that BIG kiss as an apology for her antics, her lips were not met with the warm, welcoming ones of her girlfriend, but instead her palm! Her eyes shot wide in surprise as Sayumi maneuvered around her, hand still in her face before slipping inside the bathroom and locking the door. Well... She wasn't happy about that... She'd have to make up for it later... Considering the door being locked, a surprise visit wasn't in order so, finally deciding to be serious for once, Cicilia stood by their apartment door, checking her phone and the progress of her games within. Something nice and mindless to do while she waited. Such things helped keep her distracted from the images of all the things Sayumi could be doing in there.

Several fruits ninja-ed later, Sayumi emerged from the bathroom all beautiful and gussied up for the fair! Looking past the fact Cicilia was completely entranced by how BEAUTIFUL her partner could make herself, she wondered why she would dress up so casually for something so informal.... Heck, if she stepped out in one of Cicilia's hoodies and shorts, she would've been just as happy! Maybe she just liked to look drop-dead gorgeous all the time... Nothing to complain about.

Cicilia smiled as her girlfriend declared her readiness, the German walking up to her and offering her a hand.

"I'm sorry for being such a tease..." She murmured, bringing Sayumi's hand up to her cheek, giving it a soft nuzzle. "I love you so much, Sayumi..."

And with that... She would take them to the fair!

AND IT WAS BIIIIG! Much bigger than the flier made it sound! There were rides of all sorts from merry-go-rounds to Ferris Wheels, stands selling foods, games, toys of all sorts, not to mention VAST seas of people already having gotten there before them! Suffice it to say, being among a crowd, the boxer was... anxious... She didn't enjoy crowds of people, especially being among them! But so long as she had her lavender beauty nearby, she would be okay...

"So..." She mused, looking over at the various stands. "What do you wanna do first?"

Sayumi took the offered hand, assuming it was meant just for her to hold. As Cicilia brought it to her cheek for a nuzzle, she glanced away, reddening a bit. "Stoooop. I am trying to be mad at yooooou." She whined softly, still trying to hold onto how much of a dirty nasty tease the boxer had been. It wasn't fair. Her being cute about stuff made it hard to be upset, even if she hadn't been all that mad to begin with. She even apologised too!

She huffed softly, surrendering her grudge by leaning in to give Cicilia a peck on the cheek "Yeah yeah..." She mumbled softly in defeat. She had hoped to drag it out a bit, make the girl sweat for a bit before letting her know she was forgiven, then she had to go ahead and ruin it by being sweet. Before they left she made sure to get her floppy weave sunhat and her pair of heart shaped sunglasses. It was set to be a bright shiny day after all.

The fair wasn't that far from their apartment. She was actually very familiar with the location as she did most of her jogging in that particular park they had taken over for the duration of the festivities. Still, seeing everything laid out like this was impressive. Back home the matsuri festivals tended to be small local affairs, this seemed almost like an amusement park by comparison. Perhaps it was western influences or maybe they just did these things bigger in Toyko, she did t know.

She had already known what was first on the agenda the moment they had walked inside the fenced in limits. She scanned the various stands before spotting what it was she desired. "There." She hooked Cicilia's arm, dragging her in a weave through the crowd to a small food stand. Rows and rows of of odd shaped items dipped in now hardened chocolate and out on sticks. What they were was a mystery at first unless Cicilia could read kanji.

Sayumi leaned in to whisper to her girlfriend however, keeping her informed. "Chocolate covered bananas." She motioned between each of the set ones on display. "Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, strawberry flavored milk chocolate, and the others are just the same with sprinkles... Can I have a strawberry chocolate one. Puh-leeeeeeeeeease?" She tugged childishly at Cicilia's arm.

These had been a favorite of hers when she was younger, along with watame. These however didn't make nearly as much of a mess. Perhaps on the way home she could buy some of the other treat to take back with them without having to worry about sticky hands while they traversed the fair.

“Mmmm…Pretty good.” It was such a long time when she last had cotton candy. The Red Amazonian remembered how much she loved it when she was a kid. It wasn’t the most common sweet thing that she found back in her hometown, of all the sweet stuff that she had before, this was near at the top of being rare. Greek cuisine filled her belly at the end of the day. Pyrena remembered the Lenten brownies that her father baked. Ahhh…home cooking is the best.

As her mind wondered on the memories of Greek baking, her body wondered aimlessly as she looked around the large fair. It was big. Though she has seen bigger festivals, most notably Aprokries. Or simply put, “Carnival” in Crete and Greece. That was on another level.

Though as she just about finished the colourful mix of pink and blue candy, Pyrena sought out what to do next. Though as she looked around, she again noticed the people around with either one person with them or a group. The Greek didn’t think loneliness would creep up on her this soon but it sure did. Her emerald eyes watched the big Ferris Wheel which made her pout. Going up there alone seems a bit more pitiful than she realized. She could seek to make more friends. Put that on her priorities list.

So she might leave the rides for a while, the day was still so young anyway and she didn’t have a curfew. Would be nice to see more of what the Japanese amusement park has in terms of food and drink. And they do have a lot. Perhaps they do these things bigger…

Another thing that she would need to put on her priorities list was learning more in Japanese Kanji as she passed through the food stands. To put it bluntly, Pyrena sucked at that. If its characters were Greek or Latin, she would know from the back of her hand. So now it became a guessing game of what could those delicacies even be. The Red Amazonian has tried Shirako once in a small bar in Tokyo. Never fucking again.

Hands in the front pocket of her hoodie, she looks around for anything that at least looks tasty. There are those ones that looked similar to toffee covered apples. Just that they are covered in chocolate. Looks appealing at least. Wonder what is inside them. Perhaps she should ask someone what they are so she doesn’t get caught eating something disgusting again…

Hold on....that person over there looks familiar. She doesn't recognise the other person with the tall woman but she looked very familiar. Coming in close to the side to get a better look. "...Cicilia?" The Red Amazonian would ask. If it wasn't her then this would have been very awkward. Though it could be a start to making an new friend.
