[CLOSED] she rides with the gods of the night, she rules the tides in me.

CHARACTERS: Peridot (slapfight) and Feferi (fintastic)
DATE: Some nebulous time between the end of the castle attack and now.
WARNINGS: None, unless you're offended by PURE YURIS.
SUMMARY: Feferi asked Peridot out on a date. So that happened.


Peridot does not arrive at midnight.

Peridot arrives at eleven.

Being punctual, after all, is a sure sign of interest and dedication. Being extra punctural means she has time to make sure she is the most presentable. She only knows how this works because of television, but most of the rendezvous situations in Camp Pining Hearts revolve around this exact situation.

And because camping uniforms are not readily available to set what she presumes is the mood, she's produced one of the scarves she got from Woodhurst and tied it around her neck in some awkward imitation of how the campers wear theirs. It's a bit too long to be effective and mostly she just looks like she's wearing a lopsided green bow around her neck.

The entire hour she's waiting she works on poses, trying to figure out the best way to present herself when Feferi shows up. Should she lean against the tree? No, no too casual. Should she sit under it? No, that's stupid. What if she doesn't see her? Ugh. The show makes these things look so natural.

Maybe if she shakes the tree a little and lets the blossoms rain down on her? No, she'd have to keep doing it and it would ruin the effect... Maybe she can find something metal to put on the branch and manipulate it...?

As expected, she spends so much time trying to work out her sense of dramatics that she doesn't even realize when midnight comes.

Peridot squeaks, planting her hands behind her so she doesn't fall over (and for a lack of knowing where to put them, and allows the kissing to go on uninterrupted until she's flustered and her bowtie is askew and the grin on her face is so unbelievably dopey. Also her visor might be a little fogged up at this point.

"That was... actually better than any episode of Camp Pining Hearts," she murmurs, still a little shell-shocked. "Including the one where Percy and Pierre are trapped in that cave-in in Season Three."

Steven and Lapis are never going to believe this.

"Oooh, that is a good one," she says, having never seen it. She is just going to have to trust that it is a good one, and that she did a good job at the romance thing. Feferi snuggles in, with her arms still around Peridot, satisfied that she got the hard part over with, but wondering where you even go from here, besides into wild makeouts.

"...you wanna watch it together?" She came out here for the scenic view of the tree, but magitek and chill seems like a good option around about now. It's still comfortable, and fragrant, with all the sounds of the outdoors around them.

Peridot might actually poof a second time this week if wild makeouts were the next logical step in this, though it always seems to come to that in teen dramas. She's not quite ready to be Percy and (ugh) Paulette behind the boathouse sucking face all the time.

But this? This she can do. Two people, uncertain of what the heck they're doing, cuddling outside and watching two stupid boys have ridiculous amounts of subtext on Peridot's magitek.

She boots up the episode on her magitek and then wraps an arm around Feferi's waist. "So for context, this is the one after the kayak race is sabotaged and both Percy and Pierre think the other was responsible for it. It adds some dramatic tension to their interactions in the whole episode, but ultimately leads to- Well, you'll see."
