[Morning of the Twenty-Thirst of June] (Text)

[princessascended]

Hey everyone, happy Summer Solstice!

Yeah, I checked, and it turns out this is the longest day of the year here in Lunatia. They, uh, don't seem to celebrate it, though. Kinda strange, back home it was a pretty big deal. There was a big feast, planting seeds and starting gardens... oh, the flower crowns! Everybody got at least one. Some people had trouble wearing all the ones they had.

Also I think stuff with alcohol and... well, that stuff my Dad would have killed me for getting involved with, so nevermind.

Anyway, any of you guys have celebrations like that? And Riku, Sora, we've got to at least get some crowns made before the day's over!

[What Kairi isn't saying is, the Summer Solstice is also her birthday, or at least the day they've celebrated it since she arrived on the islands. But hey, she won't make a big deal out of that, and the only ones who know are her boys.]

[princessascended]

C'mon, Sora. Irises... Iris? You gotta admit that's at least a little funny.

[Riku'd groan at the pun, of course.]

[keythatconnects]

Maybe a little?

[He still doesn't get it.]

[princessascended]

... Like the moon?

[Sora, you're killing her.]

[keythatconnects]

Oh!!! You mean because he's a jellyfish!

[He got there eventually, Kairi.]

Actually, we should totally do that. I bet he'll catch on much faster than I did. [He offers her an apologetic grin as he says it.

[princessascended]

He'll probably just take one look at them and then give me one of those "seriously?" looks he's so good at.

[Her, because he'll know the terrible pun was her idea right off the bat.]

[keythatconnects]

Sure, but I like making him make those looks.

[princessascended]

He is really cute when he gets exasperated.

That's why I tease him so much!

[keythatconnects]

He's cute when he's doing a lot of things. [Sora replies. He even looks a little embarrassed admitting it. He's gotten used to their relationship by now, but it still feels like a gift that he can admit his attraction so openly.]

[princessascended]

Anything specific on your mind?

[Because of course, when she sees him embarrassed, she just has to push the teasing.]

[keythatconnects]

You know when he's training or working out? And he looks all focused and serious. And his body is just...

Do you ever get the feeling like everything is in slow motion just so you can watch him?

[princessascended]

[And of course she has to picture that now...

And her cheeks flush, but not from embarrassment. She doesn't notice it herself, but her tongue slips out to lick her lips.]

[keythatconnects]

[Sora watches that reaction and grins mischievously.]

We should suggest we all find a gym to work out.

[princessascended]

[She still looks a little dreamy-eyed as she answers.]

He probably already knows where one is.

And if he doesn't, I bet Terra does.

[keythatconnects]

[Oh shoot, that means they'd watch Riku and Terra work out.]

If Terra's there, then Aqua and Ven would be too.

[That's too many of their hot friends getting worked up and sweaty in one place.]

[princessascended]

I would feel so self-conscious trying to work out around all of them at once.

[Mostly Aqua, honestly. Even if she'd never judge Kairi.]

See, this is why I stick to swimming mostly. I'm totally at home in the water.

[keythatconnects]

And you look amazing in swimsuits.

Anyway, who says you and I are gonna work out? We're gonna find a nice seat and watch. We can bring snacks.

[He says that, but they both know that he's way too competitive not to end up training too.]

[princessascended]

Right up until Riku teases you and Aqua "suggest" we join in.

[Because even if Sora managed to ignore Riku's jibes (unlikely), neither of them would be able to deny Aqua in "you should really do something" mode.]

[keythatconnects]

[Sora scratches his cheek, unable to deny the truth of that statement.]

Ok, but then you'll have two boyfriends to look at.

[princessascended]

You raise a good point.

[And now she's picturing both of them, and her grin is just getting more mischievous...]

We need to get you both some workout clothes.

[Nice, tight, form-fitting workout clothes.]

[keythatconnects]

I don't think I've ever had work out clothes....

[Mostly he just wears his magic clothes back home, and here he's been having fun with the new materials they have in this world.]

[princessascended]

They're supposed to keep from getting in the way while you exercise, so they're pretty tight, but they tend to breathe easy.

[And oh wouldn't he look great in some nice athletic shorts...]

I picked up a few sports bras a while back, but they haven't gotten as much use as they maybe should have by now, since I usually just wear my swimsuit while I practice. It makes going for a swim afterwards easier.

[keythatconnects]

We should go shopping for them some time! [He has really enjoyed how much Chroma they build up here, it's like having a ton of munny all of the time.]

I'm starting to like the idea of joining a gym though. We get cool new clothes, work out, and hang out with our hot friends?

[princessascended]

You know I'm always happy to bring you shopping with me. [For just about anything, really, but she will absolutely enjoy being able to dress him up.]

Hmmmm... We could do that. I mean, I guess we can't just go swimming every time we want to exercise.

[Even if she absolutely loves doing it.]

[keythatconnects]

Maybe only most of the time?

[princessascended]

That sounds like a fair compromise!
