Diane: Oh, you did~?

-She grins and sets her down-

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

Valorie's feet totally wiggled around until they found solid ground to rest on again. She reluctantly pulled her arms to her sides, beaming up at the taller girl. "Mmhm..! I've started taking the gym challenge again. Some of my pokemon got really upset because I wasn't." she explained, hoping Diane didn't pick up on the stitches. Her arms were mostly healed anyway. ...Mostly.

"I don't want to sound like a baby, but... I always feel a lot safer when you're around." she admitted nervously. What an odd thing to say, considering she was the one with a team full of monsters to protect her!

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

-Diane does notice the stitches, but does Valorie a favor and doesn't say anything about them-

Diane: Well, that's good! Good luck with those. And...

-She smiles-

Diane: I'm glad I can make you feel safe.

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

Valorie beamed up at Diane for a moment before something seemed to occur to her. "...I guess I'm really clingy, huh." she observed in a half-joking tone. She didn't wait for a response however, averting her gaze down at the ground. "I guess I've just... never felt this way about anyone before." she added.

605

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

-Diane raises an eyebrow-

Diane: And... what would "this way" be?

-A knowing smile creeps onto her face-

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

Valorie was put in the spotlight and just sort of began fidgeting nervously. "W-Well... It's just..." she started, stammering as if she were speaking to royalty... Irony intended.

"I dunno..." she blurted out anxiously, averting her gaze down at her feet. "It's hard to explain." she quickly added, desperately searching for the words to describe her feelings to no avail. The reality was that she didn't want to admit that they weren't entirely unfamiliar to her.

607

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

-Diane's smile widens slightly-

Diane: Mind if I take a guess?

[Spectrum was here!]

608

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

With a very mild start the shortcake stopped fidgeting and peered up at Diane, a certain hope in her eyes. "Sure..." she replied, biting her lower lip.

609

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

-Diane's smile gets even wider-

Diane: Could it be... this?

-She bends down, pulls Valorie in, and kisses her.-

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

The shortcake's eyes widened as she realized what was happening at the very last moment, and yet she couldn't pull away even if she did want to.

She didn't.

At first a shiver passed through her spine, that of her being rather abruptly cast from her comfort zone. She reached up to grasp the other, but didn't quite push her away. The moment of fear passed however and the now wide-eyed girl seemed to relax and untense a bit. As she meekly returned the kiss her answer was clear even before she got a chance to actually vocalize it. She was... definitely okay with this.

611

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

-Diane holds the kiss for what may seem like eternity to Valorie before breaking it. She looks down on the half-pint, grinning-

Diane: So... did I get it right?

[Spectrum was here!]

612

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

Valorie tasted her own lips experimentally.  "...Y-Yeah." she stammered out ever so quietly, propping herself up on her tip toes to give Diane a very heartfelt and perhaps even intimate hug. Her eyes closed for a moment as she tried to find peace with emotions that had just been forced to be acknowledged.

"...It's not weird is it?" she asked anxiously, seemingly fishing for reassurance. Because obviously everything about this was just one big scandal waiting to be put in the news.

613

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

-Diane hugs Valorie tightly, which may be a tad awkward -- or not -- considering roughly where Valorie's head reaches on Diane's body.-

Diane: Hey, I'm the one who just kissed you. If either of us is the weird one, it's me.

[Spectrum was here!]

614

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

Valorie silently noted that Diane's chest made for a very comfortable pillow. No amount of embarrassment was going to keep her from expressing her feelings this time around and she totally nuzzles the other affectionately.

"You're not weird..." she replied lightheartedly. A slight giggle escaped her lips. "Or maybe we're both weird." she mused, equally light-hearted.

"...Is that okay though?" she continued after a moment, more nervous now. "Y'know... kissing eachother like that?" she quickly added. What would Skye think!

615

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

-Diane smiles-

Diane: I'll... work things out with Skye. Don't worry about us. It'll be fine. It is fine, the kissing.

-To make a point, she bends down and kisses her again.-

[Spectrum was here!]

616

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

Valorie nodded softly. She was almost fully back in her comfort zone too, and then Diane raised her gaze for another kiss. She would totally be able to feel the smaller girl's legs turn to jelly as she incorrectly presumed she'd be able to handle the kiss better this time, her weight pulling out from underneath her.

It's super effective!

This time she was quicker to return the kiss, though it still left her stunned for a moment or two. Who needed words when your lips wrote a novella?

617

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

-Diane holds this kiss a bit longer. It's kind of difficult considering she can't stop grinning, but she manages.-

[Spectrum was here!]

618

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

Valorie shuddered rather deeply, but certainly not in a bad way~ Her heart was aflutter and her mind racing. Careful not to prolong that kiss too long, Diane! The shortcake might forget to breath and faint in your arms!

619

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

-If Valorie does forget to breathe, the most that will happen is lightheadedness before Diane breaks the kiss.-

Diane: So... what now?

-She takes both of Valorie's hands-

620

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

A light-headed shortcake that totally forgot to breathe in the heat of the moment wobbles slightly as she is released, looking down at her hands speculatively for a moment as if just becoming re-aware of their existence. "...Well--does this mean we're going out? If we are... what about our first date?" she asked after a long moment spent regaining her composure. She still had an air of nervousness to her, unable to shake the impression she should be embarrassed.

621

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

Diane: It can mean that if you want it to. And we can do whatever you want about that first date.

[Spectrum was here!]

622

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Valorane

Valorie beamed at Diane and nodded. Her tiny grip tightened and Diane was forced to explain that Valorie was not her daughter to people at stores for the next 20 years. she glanced off into the distance. "...W-Well, we could go out to eat or to a movie! Those sound nice!" she offered.

Psyche cuddles Crewe. ~I try~~

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

-Crewe grins and hugs her tightly, kissing her cheek-

I love you, Psyche.

Re: General Noncanon Ships Thread

Psyche blushes. ~I love you too, Crewe~~
