Gura and Ina were meeting up for an off-collab today. It wasn't their first together, but they didn't do them very often mostly due to the physical distance between them. Each one felt special though, and even when Gura planned to go home every time she always found herself in Inas bed the next morning coddled in blankets with three extra pillows. This time felt a little different, somehow. She wasn't even there yet but there was already a dense atmosphere that made her chest tense up more than it has in a long, long time.
Ina meanwhile, was making sure everything was ready for the collab. Making sure that her place was tidy, that the snacks were ready, that her stream was ready to go live, that the snacks were prepared, but absolutely most importantly - that the snacks were prepared. Everything was ready to go, and just as she was adjusting the takodachi plush on the corner of her bed, she heard a knocking at her door. Opening the door and looking down slightly she met Guras gaze. Ina had her usual aloof, comfortable warmness present on her smiling face, while Gura was visibly still a little distressed. Still unable to figure out the source of this unease, Gura decided her best course of action should be to let it subside and not worry about it so much. She's about to hang out with her friend for the day after all, no point in worrying.
After a few hours of casual chat and snacking, they began mentally prepping to start the stream. For some reason, when it came time for Gura to sit next to Ina at the computer, she couldn't bring herself to get all that close. She'd never felt this type of nervousness before. She's felt the anxiousness of her debut, the anxiousness of collaborations, but this was just an entirely new feeling. Ina could tell something was up. Her keen sense of apathy knew she needed to find a way to calm Gura down, after the stream, of course. They ended up playing Smash Bros. for a good two and a half hours before ending the stream. Ina was happy because Gura ended up getting so invested in the game her strange anxiety seemed to be quelled for the moment. After it was all over, though, and Gura started to come down from her gaming induced high, she began to feel it all over again, although it was a little different this time. Her cheeks were flushed red and she was noticeably stiff, with the butterflies in her stomach only getting worse and worse. Ina noticed and cracked her window slightly, the cool, fresh evening autumn air would help relax her little shark friend, she thought, but to no avail. Gura sat there on her phone, worried about something, although she wasn't quite sure what just yet. Ina felt a unique pain in her heart when she saw Gura like this. It was another weird, indescribable feeling. It splintered all throughout her body like broken shards of crystal or glass. It was a near physical pain, one that she couldn't ignore. In a last ditch effort to soothe Gura, Ina stalked up behind her and gently placed both her arms around her friends waist. Gura was in such shock at this point she couldn't even move. It was so sudden that she had no time to think about her current shocking - albeit comfortable - position. Ina gently placed her head on Guras shoulders, sinking into her as deep as she could. She closed her eyes held them closed as tight as she could, as if an answer to her pain would appear on the insides of her eyelids. While Inas pain was still there, still stinging, Guras nerves were slowly being broken down. She began to melt in the comfort of Inas embrace. Ina only became aware of Guras newfound relaxation when she felt her small body slowly slide lower in her arms.
Its been about an hour since Gura fell asleep in Inas arms, and Ina had since moved her to her bed. She sat at the foot of the bed, admiring her face for a while. Her eyes were so big, and her white and light blue hair gave off the perfect impression of innocence and beauty. Her resting face was so relaxed as well, and seeing someone as excitable and goofy as Gura completely calm was a sight to behold. By this point she had leaned in to Guras proximity by a considerable amount, and Ina could feel a warmth rising to her cheeks. Just as she was beginning to pull away and calm her heart, Guras eyes groggily blinked open, stopping the priestess dead in her tracks. Guras eyes widened a bit, although she retained her sleeping poker face while Ina was clearly a little embarrassed, having felt like she'd been caught. After a brief moment of silence which felt like forever, Ina was the first to speak up... "So, uh about thi-"... before immediately being cut off by Gura pressing Inas lips against her own. Gura was still mostly out of it, and it seemed as if all her inhibitions had suddenly vanished. The kiss was passionate and intense, and while Ina was frozen solid during the first few seconds of it, she eventually fell into it, her mind going blank with nothing but thoughts of Gura. Thoughts of how sweet, how cutesy emotional, how easily excitable, and how infectious her fun is were just to much for her - that pain she felt was love, and seeing someone she loved, especially someone as small as Gura, be so incredibly scared around her made her break inside. But those tiny little crystals shooting off into every corner of her body were gone now. And as for Gura, that nervousness was also love. She wasn't sure how long she'd felt that way about Ina, or when the feeling started, but she knows they've been there, and they've been there for a while. Their lips broke apart, leaving a short trail of saliva dangling between their warm, panting mouths. Ina immediately embraced Gura in as tight a hug as she could possibly manage without breaking her spine in several different places. "I thought... you hated me..." Ina managed to choke out through tears. Gura, noticing Ina was crying, sprung into full gear again, as if she were never sleeping in the first place. She began tearing up as well, but her emotions didn't stop her from weakly offering up a completely inappropriate, yet completely hilarious "what kinda... stupid are you?". They both began laughing at Guras attempt to lighten the mood, still wrapped in eachothers embrace. Ina laid down next to her, holding her hand and quietly looking into her eyes. They both smiled at eachother, the cool autumn nightly wind howled lightly through the crack Ina had made in the window. They fell asleep, hand in hand, in complete and utter bliss. Every crystal in Inas body, every butterfly in Guras stomach was completely gone, and that was a feeling they both welcomed with open, loving arms.
