Christmas Romance Thread: Only Satellites (Something that keeps us going on) (for CaptainL)

[RedShinigami]

Harmonia could'nt stop laughing and whiped a tear from her eyes.
"You...you have'nt seen the whole bunch of horny teenge boys crowding us, oh my.", she laughed and looked into the shopping cart.
"Oh, that is quite much...Molly, I said you can have some stuff but I am not made out of money...", she said with a serious tone and as she saw her date frown she giggeld and hugged her.
She held her close and her arms were wrapped around Mollys neck.
"Relaax, I was just joking. You, my dear Molly Forster can buy the whole shop if you like.", she smiled and winked at her date, just being in a good mood.

Then she looked around.
"Well we are..."
She knew exactly where they were.
"Well um...don't you have something...from your list...here too?", Harmonia said and did'nt know why she was so shy, a few weeks ago she was eating out Rose Gold naked in the middle of a packed arena and now she was blushing about smut?

She grabbed for a Yuri one and looked at it.
"Hmmm.", she said and could'nt muster the courage to look Molly in the eyes right now...

[CaptainL]

"O-Oh, uh...was that it?" Molly blushed for a moment, realizing she'd gotten so carried away she hadn't noticed what was going on around her. It was a fact that brought her back down into reality, knowing that people had recognized them. She had to admit, she'd let herself get caught up in the fantasy of the two girls having the whole world to themselves, and not having to worry about anything else. "Wait...isn't this about the last place we should go if we're trying to throw off horny teenage boys?"

Either way, Molly looked back at the shopping cart stocked near to the brim, and she chuckled nervously. "A-Ah, yeah...sorry about that. I guess I got a little carried away. Really, I don't mean to take advantage of you like this, but...it's really nice that you'd want to do this for me. I mean that. I'll put some of this back, here-"

But then, just as the Englishwoman began to lift a wall scroll out of her cart, Harmonia pulled her into a hug, and Molly let out a gasp. "WHAT!? Really..?! Oh, my god..! You really shouldn't have-!" Practically hopping up and down in place, she threw her arms around Harmonia in a half-tackle of a hug, burying her face against her chest in the process. "I mean, I'm not gonna buy the whole shop, but-! Thank you!"

Stepping back, Molly blushed harder at Harmonia's offer, looking aside. There was a lot about first dates that could be awkward, but...Molly couldn't say she expected them to be picking out hentai together. Besides, she was perfectly fine with reading that online - not that she'd admit it. Clearing her throat, she looked back toward the curtain. "Erm, that's okay. I can just wait outside for you, if you like..." But at the same time, she caught the cover of the book Harmonia was looking at out of the corner of her eye, and she smiled just a little more. She knew why that was on her mind.

[RedShinigami]

Harmonia looked straight onto the Manga and then saw the wide smile of her date.
"Mo-Molly Forster, would you please wipe off this smug smile...", Harmonia said rambling and looked back at the cover.
"....."

When they left the shop the had two full carts of stuff for Molly and a litte, red bag for Harmonia which she pressed onto her chest, still blushing and looking straight forward.
Harmonia called for delivery service to pick the things up and bring them to her house and finally the Blonde parted from the three mangas she had pressed against her chest and coughed.
"Well...that was...definetly interesting.", she said and small clouds of steam could be seen around her beautiful head as the chilling temperatures met her hot head.

She looked to Molly and smiled.
"I hope you have fun with your presents Molly. I really liked being your Santa for this year.", she chuckled and leaned over to her date, letting Molly wrap her arms around her again before they moved forward.
Suddenly they heard a grumble and Harmonia looked to the side.
"Eheheh...good thing we got eat now, hm?", she asked as they walked down the crowded streets of Tokyo, arm in arm.
For all its worth, they could have been alone as Harmonia only had eyes for Molly, feeling her body on hers was something that shut out all
of her surroundings, leaving them in a world of their own.

They reached a fancy looking japanese restaurant and walked in.
"I hope you are in for some japanese food.", she smiled as they walked to the waiter.
"How can I help you?"
"Edelstein, a table for two."
"Oooh, Edelstein-san, how nice of you to visit us again. Was everything fine the last time?"
"Everything was perfect. So i thought I bring my gi-good friend, along on our Date. So please,
tell the cook to give his best this evening.", the charming Austrian smiled.
"But of course, follow me!"
Harmonia looked at Mollys face.
"Oh, I always visited this place when I had a job in Japan and now that I live here I stop by mostly once a month. Veronika likes it too. Sadly I can't take Fin with me as her manners...well are'nt equpid for such an etablissement.", she said and chuckled as they entered a big room and were seated next to a beautiful fountain.
Soft music was playing in the background and all in all this place looked a little magical, perfect for their enchanted date.
"You like it?", Harmonia asked and took of Mollys coat, grabbed the chair and let her sit on it before taking a seat herself.

Molly didn't realize that her smile caught the attention of anyone else; when Harmonia pointed it out, she let out a yelp at the thought that she'd been caught. "W-What smile..!?" she stammered, but nevertheless cleared her throat, falling into place beside Harmonia as usual.

After they had checked out, Molly watched as the delivery car pulled off with two full loads of her purchase. She still felt a little guilty, but that feeling soon passed in favor of the enthusiasm that came from having a small library worth of manga to dive into, and she could hardly wait. The cool air met her face as she followed Harmonia out onto the street, her breaths rising from her mouth as wisps of fog, but she stayed closer to Harmonia, wrapping an arm against her side. Something about being so close to the Austrian helped her feel warm against the cold air, and it wasn't just body heat either.

"Man, explaining this to Chelsea's going to be interesting, huh..." Molly chuckled scratching at the back of her head. "But...thank you. I really owe it to you..."

Sure enough, as the night went on Molly could feel hunger take hold. After the excitement of shopping, she was reminded of how she'd normally be having dinner around now - and sure enough, Harmonia made that offer. "Oh, yeah! You're taking me, huh? That sounds really nice, thanks!" The girl smiled a little wider, but inside her heart was racing. Now, she was going to share a dinner with Harmonia - this really was a date. She didn't know how prepared she was for it, but she liked it all the same.

"Yeah, Japanese will be f-" As soon as they entered the restaurant, Molly's eyes went wide. She'd be content eating with Harmonia at any old place, but this felt like she was in the banquet hall of a palace! Her mouth agape, she looked all around her; Harmonia's conversation with the waiter went unheard when all Molly concerned herself with was the magnificent decor! Never in her life did she imagine being any place like this!

She was still looking around in awe as she followed Harmonia to her seat. Her whole body felt tingly, and she could hardly sit still. "You mean you go here regularly..? Wow...you must be really lucky! Is it any good?"

[RedShinigami]

Harmonia was just glad that Molly was happy.
And she seemed very happy, about everything, the presents she gave her, the nice talk and the walks under the moonlight.
Truly a fullmoon in winter was something special to look at as the clouds, filled with thick snowflakes, finally parted and
made the Earth Trabant shine its light on the world.
It was a beautiful night, shared with a beautiful person and as Molly wrapped her arms around Harmonias arm again, leaning against her, she knew that Molly was full aware of what was going on here...
This was testdrive for their feelings.
Would they like each other? Or remain close friends?
For now all signs pointed to number one, and Harmonia really hoped that she assumed correctly.
They walked along the snowy streets and finally reach Harmonias favourite restaurant "Harutaka".
They entered and were seated rather quickly.
Harmonia, ladylike as always, helped Chelsea out of her coat and pulled the chair out for her .
Then the Austrian took place across Molly and smiled.
"I am glad you like it. Oh the food is...undescribable Molly, it is soooo good. If you trust me enough, then I will order for us. Believe me
you will not be dissapointed!"
Then she suddenly stopped.
Was that too much?
And suddenly Harmonia felt weird...it seemed to her as if she would buy Molly...buying her gifts, going with her in such an expensive place.
There was it again...something that haunted Harmonia since modeldays, was a big disturbance in her wrestling career and followed her into her private life...
Her selfesteem-problems.
First she was on top of the world but suddenly it felt to her as if she would like to buy the affection of the brit...
No, that was'nt true...she had to calm the the voices in her head and so she just talked away.
"Anyway...Chelsea...how is she? I heard she was pretty battered too...", Harmonia asked with ernest concern.
"I just can apologize for what Finella did. This is so unlike her..or maybe....I don't know her anymore...six years are a long time, don't you think?"

[CaptainL]

Sitting by the fountain, hearing the rush of its water and with her gaze lingering on Harmonia before her - bathed in the glow of the lights, she looked almost like an angel - Molly's eyes were welling up with tears. She could hardly believe any of this would happen to her; never in her wildest dreams did she expect to experience such luxury. The Forsters had been well enough off to do what they wanted with their lives, but Harmonia, she was beginning to realize, was on a different level entirely - a level she now had been able to get a taste for herself. She sniffled a little bit. Did she even deserve all of this?

Rubbing her eyes, Molly sat up straighter. She put those thoughts aside - she didn't want to ruin the night for Harmonia if she saw her crying. This was a special night, and the Austrian didn't need to spend it worrying over her. She nodded her head, a smile soon growing across her face. "Oh, of course I trust you! Everything you've shown me so far has been...it's incredible! I can't wait to see what you get here..."

Then, as the conversation turned to the other half of the Capture the Flag match, Molly leaned in closer to the table. "Chelsea? She's...well, she's okay. Still a little bit sore, but I don't think it's gonna keep her down for long. She's tougher than that!" As Harmonia went on, Molly's smile began to fade, thinking back on the less than cordial relations between Chelsea and Finella. Even if they were sisters, they couldn't be any less alike. "...Chelsea's been talking about Finella a lot too, you know. She's still really mad at her. Says that if things went any differently, she would've won, and that it was all a big fluke...I don't know, maybe you should be worried. Sometimes she'll get in over her head, you know? And if she does anything brash..." With a sigh, her eyes turned down to the tablecloth - though they looked back up at Harmonia as she remembered something else she'd said.

"Six years? You really haven't seen her in that long?"

[RedShinigami]

If Molly could see through Harmonias eyes or read her thoughts then she would have realized that the Austrian thought about her the same way.
Molly was one of the pretties girls Harmonia had ever seen. And being with models you see a lot of pretty faces.
Harmonia did'nt want to bring up such heavy stuff at their date but she felt that both had to talk over it.
She saw Molly wiping away some tears but did'nt ask about it.
Even if it stung in her soul like a knife.
This was to be their perfect evening and goddamn it, Harmonia would see that this would be the best evening Molly and she ever had!
But first there was an elephant in the room that had to be removed.
"If....we want this to work Molly. And believe me I want..."
Her heart beat faster...she said it. She literally made a hint to a future together...and she felt good...
"Believe me I want this...to...have a future...then we have to keep our sisters in line. God knows how
far they are like to go to bash their brains in.", she said and sighed.
"Yes...six years ago my parents died. I had already some modeling gigs on my hand and Fin...you see Molly...Fin was a troubled child. Her whole life was always fight, fight, fight...sometimes she did'nt even know why she fought, she just wanted to do it. You see? It was as if she was born with it..rebellious, the loud music, the fights...but there is a whole other Fin in her you know, a Fin only I got to see as I am the only person she opened up too. She is really fragile...sometimes I forget this...when I scolded her at this evening...I hurt her...thats why she hates you now...", she said and looked away.
"I feel...like I have betrayed you and her..."
The waiter appeared to take there order, cutting of Harmonias dark thoughts.
She turned to the waiter and ordered a bottle of sparkling water for both.
Then when the waiter asked what she would like to drink she said: "Asa..."
Then she stopped. What would Molly say?
Seeing Harmonia drinking a beer would completly destroy her reputation as Lady and also maybe Molly would think ill of her...
"Uhm..uh...I am fine with the sparkling water. Molly, what do you want?"
Meanwhile she searched the menu.

[CaptainL]

Molly nodded her head to Harmonia, looking up to meet eyes with her as she leaned further over the table. She was right - if they were going to make this work, they couldn't let Chelsea and Finella's feud get in the way. Molly had heard no shortage of her sister angrily ranting on and on about how much she wanted to wring Finella's neck, and surely in her mind, Harmonia was tainted by association. When Molly had spoken about going to see her, Chelsea hadn't stopped her, but she still did her fair share of grumbling and talking about how Molly was making a big mistake. She'd tried to explain that the two didn't have anything in common, but it didn't seem to get through to Chelsea. Surely if they didn't do anything about it, they could only expect more of such trouble in the future.

Then, though, Harmonia went on to explain her past - and Molly frowned, letting out a soft sigh. "Oh..." This was a new side of the model. She would never have guessed that someone so radiant as Harmonia, someone with such fame and fortune, could ever have known such hardship - but immediately, she felt an ache in her heart, just knowing that someone like her had to go through something like that. "I'm sorry to hear that..." She reached across the table, her fingertips touching the Austrian's own. "You think...she's just lashing out because it's the only way she knows how to cope..?" At that, Molly thought back to what Harmonia had said about the two not seeing each other in years. If they had stuck together, she wondered, could Finella have ended up a different person?

And, as Harmonia described how she felt like she had let both her sister and her potential girlfriend down, Molly looked down at the table. She knew that wasn't true. It wasn't Harmonia who had betrayed anyone. If anything, it was Molly herself. She had caused this. She had been the one who threw Harmonia into the ring post and caused her to get hurt, and if Finella was mad at her now, that was her fault too...

Her mouth opened, and she prepared herself to speak - but just then, the waiter came up to them, diverting their attention. "Oh-!" Molly sat straight up in her seat, clearing her throat. "Oh, sparkling water's fine for me, yeah-!" She grinned, but she still chuckled nervously. Her mind was other places, after all

[RedShinigami]

Harmonia sighed. She wanted to wrap up this topic but there was still things to be said.
So she thought, throwing in an intresting trivia about Fin could break the ice that had settled over the conversation.
She looked at their fingertips touching and smiled, softly she laid her hands over Mollys, carefully stroking the sides of hers.
Harmonia liked Molly, really much and it was evident as both could hardly spent a minute without a glance or a touch.
While caressing her hands she chuckled.

"Did you know that big, bad Miss Hellraiser Wolf is playing the violin?"
"It's true. She is very good at it. Our grandfather played in an Orchestra and when my parents started to get desperate with Fin, he stepped in and saw her talent. Well, then she started playing. And whenever she was sad or furious she played and it got better. You should have heard her since the match, not a day without beautiful tunes from her room. She has such talent. But what Finella would really need is a close friend, someone who understands her. Fin and me have nothing in common but the wrestling and of course there is Sheila, but Sheila is more of a little Sister to her, they play games and train with each other but thats far away from a close friend. You know, it is sad with those two, because I think if they had met under other circumstances Chelsea and she could have become friends, but yeah, that train has passed...", she ended as their food came.

And it was quite something as the waiter set down a big plate with Sushi and Maki Variations of all kind. It not only looked delicious it looked like a piece of art.
Harmonia smiled and took the napkin, and laid it on her lap.
"Well, Itadakimasu then.", she said and took the fancy chopstick.
Suddenly Molly saw a Maki in front of her face and a grinning Harmonia.
"Say aaaah...", she chuckled, holding the Maki between her chopsticks.

[CaptainL]

When she felt the touch of Harmonia's hands against her own, Molly let out a sigh. She relaxed against the other woman's touch, a smile crossing her face. Something about being here with Harmonia, and knowing that they shared in this moment, put Molly at peace. She could forget any concerns she had, and be here, happy, with Harmonia. Right now, the model was the only company she needed.

She listened closely to what else Harmonia had to say, nodding along with it. She would never have guessed that someone like Finella, with the aggression she had shown in the ring, would have an ear for music, and her eyes widened at the thought. "The violin, huh? Wow...who would have guessed it? I'm glad she has a hobby, at least. It's something to keep her busy, and I'm sure it makes her feel better. It's good to know she has Sheila, too. It sounds like she's in a better place than she was before you two met up..."

Still, one thought lingered with her, and it was a thought that made her frown. That she and Chelsea could have been friends. They did have a lot in common, and they shared a lot of interests and traits - and, Molly realized, that could just as easily have brought them together as friends instead of foes. It was too bad they couldn't have that...but even still, she looked back up and forced a smile. "I don't think we need to give up hope just yet. She's just...kind of stubborn, you know? Maybe she'll come around, it'll just take time..."

But soon, their order would come - and Molly's eyes widened, blown away by the sight of it! She had never seen so much sushi in one place, and she hardly knew where to begin. But Harmonia was quick to fall into routine, and the sound of her voice reminded Molly to follow; she set her napkin down on her lap, nodding with a smile. "Yeah! Itadakimasu!~" She giggled a little to herself. "You really have taken well to living here, Moni. How are you liking it?" And, when she held out a piece of maki for her, Molly was eager to comply. It might have been silly, but she was having fun! She leaned closer, opening her mouth. "Aaah-!~"
