Don't Touch My Board, Bi- [Tsu]

Probably due to the magic the moment held by itself, Tsukiko and Mao’s kiss would last for a long while. The two girls’ lips remained brushing against one another for at least 10 minutes, with them only taking small gaps of timeouts to breathe.

While it was true both of them wanted to show the other one how much they wanted this by not surrendering control of the kiss so easily, the Ashikaga was definitely more focused on enjoying every bit of this moment than contesting anything, except the fact those lips remained close to hers for a while more. It was perfect, and Tsukiko had not felt like that by kissing anyone in so long she was even wondering if she had ever felt like that at all. Mao drove her crazy, and kissing Mao did too.

Once they actually separated, Tsukiko’s blue irises just remained fixed on Mao, while she panted. “H-Hi…” She quipped, showing her half a smirk. It was a good thing the samurai was not the shy type. “… had you been wanting to do that for a while too?”

Without any notice, Tsukiko gave another quick kiss to Mao, right in her lips. “You actually look cuter from this close.”

The growl of the pink-haired girl’s stomach actually interrupted her seemingly incessant flirting. “I’m hungry.” She pouted. “But I don’t want to move from this spot. It’s too perfect.” And, at the same time, she tightened her grip around Mao’s waist, pushing her friend’s body against hers.

“Well… no. What makes this particular spot so great is having you on top.” After that statement, Tsukiko just showed another playful smile to Mao. Next, she went on to think about what should she do about her hunger, contrasting on how good it was having Mao this close. Of course, her train of thought was stopped by the realization her friend had called her…

“T-Tsu-chan?” Her eyes widening, an evident blush appeared around Tsukiko’s cheeks. “You had never called me like that… Had you?” She asked in a mutter. Not that it bothered her or anything, but… it was definitely worth noting. “I want you to stay at my side kissing all of the time. That's what I want.” Welp, that was a very determined expression for such a corny statement, although it did not seem like she was entirely kidding.

Slowly, Tsukiko glanced at Mao’s phone, laying on the table. “Hey! Maybe you don’t have to go that far to order something.” She giggled. “Can you reach that from here?” The pink-haired girl moved one of the hands previously resting on Mao’s lower back to try and reach the thing but… no luck. “I’m too short to do it. Maybe you can?” She suggested, pouting a bit.

“There’s only one rule, you can’t get off me.”

"Well... it is cute." Even if it might be too cute for her! Was that the reason why she was blushing? That was definitely not common in Tsukiko. Shaking her head to get rid of that thought, the pink-haired girl actually wrapped her arms around Mao's waist again, just to make sure she did not fall or anything. Even while Mao went to grab to cellphone, the Ashikaga could not let that last comment simply pass. Instead...

"Well... what I want is you!" Hoisting herself up a bit, as much as her current stance allowed her to, she managed to give a short, sweet kiss to Mao's cheek. "Other than that... Maybe pizza would be okay? It sounds simple and fast. I am really hungry." Then, she made a pause, pondering about something. "Is it bad to mix-up pizza and sake? Because I have plenty back there." It definitely sounded like a weird mixture, but, for a Samurai, Tsukiko had been too long without drinking!

... Too much being... admittedly 24 hours.

In any case, hopefully, Mao could make that order right now!

"Have you ever drank sake? I remember we had some drinks when we celebrated back at Goyo's inn but... you're not much of a drinker, are you?" After this, Tsukiko issued a short giggle. "I wonder what I can make you do if I make you drink enough, Maoru~"

Once the order was made, Tsukiko would go back to kissing the magnific beauty of Mao. Because, naturally, they were going to do that until the pizza arrived. Tsukiko had kind of decided that already. Letting go of Mao's lips was a quite difficult task!

While their war had been interrupted right at the point where it had gotten more... 'intense', so to say, both Tsukiko and Mao were able to reincorporate on time, or at least Tsukiko did soon enough to open the door for the delivery guy. The whole time he was there, handing the pizza to Tsukiko and receiving the payment, the pink-haired girl could not stop wondering if it was or not obvious what was going on before he rang that bell. Not that she mattered, honestly. If it was too obvious, it probably wouldn't be the weirdest thing this being had encountered after knocking on a door.

In any case! Now the pizza was here and the Ashikaga just had to take that bottle of sake out of the shelf. It was likely just one was about enough to have all the fun they needed tonight but... just in case it wasn't, she had plenty of those there.

Putting the pizza in front of her, with Mao on the other side, the blue-eyed handed a small cup to Mao and poured some sake in it. "If you don't like it like this, I can warm it a bit, but I think you should try it out cold." Samurais, after all, liked their sake cold. And Mao was soon to be a samurai! So she might like it? The premise was not very logical, but it was worth the try.

"You should drink at least a cup before eating." The reason? better not to say. "Hold the cup close to your face and just let the aroma get in your system. Then, take a small sip, just to make your lips moist." She explained, obviously looking at Mao's mouth. "Let the sip linger a bit in your mouth before you swallow it." While she uttered this explanation, Tsukiko opened up the pizza box, her blue eyes shifting back to Mao once she was done.

"So? How was it?"

While Mao offered Tsukiko her opinion on the sake, the pink-haired girl extended a slice of pizza towards the soon-to-be Ashikaga, while taking a bite at her own. After a second of silence...

"This is good!" Tsukiko beamed while she waited for Mao to try on hers. Then, her eyes widened as she listened to the orange-haired girl. And then, they became narrow. Flirtatiously narrow. "Come here..." She extended her hand to pull from Mao and bring her in for a kiss. Right before their lips met, she stopped abruptly.

"No, no, wait!" She took her distance away from Mao and shook her head. "First! You have to do this." Tsukiko took Mao's cup again and filled it back, before filling her own too. Suddenly, her expression had turned very serious! The blue-eyed cleared her throat before uttering her next words.

"This is an oath. A true commitment." She stated. "As the ultimate leader of the Ashikagas, I offer you, Kita Mao, a place as a formal member of the Ashikaga Clan. By being an important member of our adventures, showing devotion for our code and also... being extremely cute and awesome, you have made yourself worthy of this offer." Nevermind the fact that she blushed a bit telling that part!

"If you take this, you will be officially one of us, and your name will come to be Ashikaga Mao. Do you swear to remain loyal to the Ashikaga Clan and be one with its members forever or until the road sets us apart?" With this, the leader of the samurais extended her hand, holding the cup and putting her whole limb in a horizontal direction. If Mao wished to accept the oath, it was clear she had to drink her sake while crossing her arm with Tsukiko's as a gesture of an alliance being made.

"And... after that... I will definitely kiss you. And then we eat."

Well, that was obviously pretty much what was going to happen, yes.

And this is how the perfect date finishes! Even if it was far from being over yet. Definitely the fun was about to begin. The pizza and the drinking were set to make of this night something spectacular. Tomorrow, though? They were going to go to Terminus and discover all of the truth behind the investigation of Pike and Ramma’s father. A new adventure for Tsukiko and Mao, this time at the biggest city of the Digital World and together as members of the same clan.

“Cheers to our new member!” After raising her cup in the air, Tsukiko just chugged the whole shot!

Saying she could not be happier was probably an understatement. Not only had her feelings been reciprocated, but she had also formed a special bond with her best friend. One that was set to last for ages. The duo of Kita… No, Ashikaga Mao and Ashikaga Tsukiko was going to make history! And, while they did? Tsukiko was going to love Mao every day. She was going to show her that she was the most magnificent girl in the whole world. And everyone she met on the past that did not agree with that, was utterly and absolutely wrong!

“Now…” Once they had eaten enough and the sake had established in the girl's systems, the pink-haired girl went back to take Mao’s hand and invite her to scoot closer to be next to her, rather than at the other side of the pizza box. “… where were we?” It would only take a kiss for them to absolutely pick up from where they had left.
