Blue roses and red vines (Adohara)

17

Finally, the evening on the 31st October has arrived.
And with that, the fall dance! (Or more officially, the graduation prom...)
At her home, a specific blue haired woman was debating what she should wear. Luckily, there was her brother!

"Kiyoooo! Can you come real quick?"
As he heard Ado call from above, her brother sprinted up to the room. "What's wrong, little sis?" "Stop calling me that... Anyways, what should I wear?"
The singer held up two dresses, contrasting well to each other. Kiyoshi thought for a while.
"Mm... How about... this one." "You sure?" "Of course I am! Now go get dressed. You don't wanna be late, no?"

Kiyoshi was right. They had only about an hour until the prom would begin. As soon as his sister was dressed, he helped her with her makeup, made sure everything looked good and then walked her to the campus.
"And remember, if anything happens, just call me. Whether it's embarrassing or not!" "Thanks Kiyo, I'll consider it." With that, Ado walked off, to one of the buildings.
Kiyoshi smiled. Yes, his sister is finally growing up.

At the entrance, she met a few familiar faces. "Woah, Ado, you look absolutely stunning. Where'd you get that dress from?" Naima was the first one to compliment. "Um... My brother got it..." "Dang it, I need to ask him. And where's Merry again?? She just vanishes everytime." With that, the rebel ran off, revealing an artist in suit.
Ado smiled.

"Really? Something masculine?" "I... didn't have something else... Does it look bad?" "No, don't worry. Did you let Toryo judge it?" "I did." "I can tell." The singer plucked a hair from Orihara's shoulder. "Maybe I shouldn't have-" "Shh. Let's enjoy the evening, okay?" Ado leaned a little foward and put a kiss on the artist's cheek, then took her hand. "Should we look for the others?" "Um... I think they're good off alone. I mean... Naima has already survived that once. I think she'll be fine." "You're right. Well then..."

The two got to the dance floor. "You practised at home, right?" "Of course I did. It's kinda hard to learn dancing in a few hours..." "Haha, I get you. Well, let's see what you remember."
Another turn to be hand in hand, one on the shoulder and one at the waist. 「Is this how wires feel?」
Orihara silently gulped, feeling her face heat up again. Before another thought crossed her mind, she was moving along the floor with Ado, trying her best to keep up with her movements. "You're really getting better. Good job, Orihara." "Thanks... It's the best I can do." "Don't worry, just let yourself run free. By the way, you look really cute today."
Even when Ado whispered the last part, it still got to the artist's core. A little more flustered, she continued.

"We did a good job." Naima watched from afar with her girlfriend, who was about to down her second glass of sparkling wine. "I know, right? These two are just too cute togheter. At this point, they're literally married." "Right?? It's a shame they're so introverted."
The rebel then felt a kiss at her cheek. "Hey...! What have I said about kisses in public?" "Relax, we're not in highschool anymore. Oh my, these times... Remember our first date? You got me to the skatepark and-" "Pushed you against the wall to kiss you... Yeah, I remember. Oh my god, this is embarrassing..." "Embarrassing or not, you'll always be the best girlfriend."
Merry squeezed the rebel's hand.

Just then, Orihara and Ado came back to the two. "Welcome back! How did your dancing session go?" "Uh... uhm..." Orihara was slightly panting. "It went pretty well. Orihara's a little exhausted... I guess you can tell." "We can. Say, when are you two going home? It's like" - Merry checked her wristwatch - "10 p.m." "Already?? Oh my god, we've spent way too much time on the dance floor... Thanks for the evening guys, but I need to get back to Kiyo. He's a little difficult most of the nighttime, and I don't want him to hurt himself." "Okay, see you!"
With that, Ado rushed to the exit.

And the three horsemen were just standing there. "Come on Picasso, go after her." "Huh, why?" "Because old men would rape her?" "Oh my, no! Naima, stop being like that..." "Still, go after her! What if something happens??" "Mm..."
Orihara looked towards the exit. Maybe this was the second chance...
"Okay, I'll do it. Don't stay too long, okay?" "Yepp!!"
And so, Orihara sprinted out of the hall.

"Ado, wait!" Severely panting, Orihara stopped as the singer turned around. "Hmm?" "I'll... huff... I'll go with you." "Oh, okay. Well then."
The two left the building and went through the garden. Silently.
"Ado, are you cold?" "Just slightly." "Here, have my jacket." The artist put her jacket around Ado's shoulders, making sure she's warm. The singer smiled. "It smells like Toryo... And you." "Well, of course it does. It's my jacket, after all!"

Both of them got through the park. The lanterns emitted a soft light on the pathways and trees, making everything seem a little dreamy. "Wait, do you hear that?" Orihara stopped. "Hm, what?" "There's a fountain somewhere..."
Really, there was a fountain. As the two reached it, the artist gasped. "I've never seen this one in action... like, this late. Woah..." She held one of her hands under the water. "So cold."

Ado took place at the ledge of the fountain. The moon slightly reflected; it was a full moon.
The werewolves might come out...
"Ado, I have a question." "Hmm?" Orihara accompanied her.
"I've been wanting to ask this in forever, but now seems like the best occasion... We're alone, it's a nice atmosphere... so... Do you want to be my girlfriend?"

Ado grinned, then nodded. "I'd be honoured to have such a good artist as my girlfriend."
And Orihara's heart jumped. "Really? You mean it??" "Of course I do! I love you, Orihara!" With that, the singer grabbed the artist by her collar and kissed her. That was enough to convince.
