Love is Friendship set to music (for GolemGuardian)

[RedShinigami]

Finella smiled. An honest smile, not one of her cocky grins in the ring or at bar brawls, this was the smile of young woman who could'nt have a care in the world, as it should have been, she just was...happy. Of course she had been happy living with Harmonia and the others, especially Sheila had found a place in her heart and she loved the Aussie as Harmonia did but still there was something about Sheila that was more like a little sister, someone you care and love but who does'nt exactly share the same intrests as you. With Chris it was like she had found the missing triplette of her and Harmonia. She just felt that she "got" the small rocker, with all her emotions, her hobbys. They had played together and this moment, singing, playing, becoming one through music was one of the most exciting moments of Finellas life right after the more grueling ones. She could relax, and even if her body was hurt, it was not broken, she was strong, it felt like if fireants were all over her body, gnawing at her flesh but she been worse...much worse. And soon she would make sure that Chelsea would feel A LOT worse, that was for sure. She clenched her fist when thinking of the this damned, english slut.

"I hate her...", she gnarled and looked at the table and when Chris gave her a tilt of her head she shook hers and smiled again.
"I think I can make it over there...", she said and got up on wobbly feet. "Just...just give me some time, yes?",she said with a slight chuckle and wandered from the kitchen over to the room that the rocker inhabited. "Woooow!", she said as she looked at the posters. "Great taste in music! Have you seen Gackt live? Saw him in Munich, he was great! I was working at the bar in famous rock club at the time.", she said and looked at the poster. "Man, he really looked great back then..."

Then the wolf turned to Chris bed and set on it before grabbing her shirt and pull it over her head, getting out of her pants. "Alright...", she said and took the medicine gel and started to applying it on the parts of her body Chris did'nt wanted to lay a hand on if not totally necessary. "Uh-ow....man...that hurts...", she grunted and some tears started to form in her eyes again. "Fucking, damn tears!", she snarled and rubbed over her eyes. "I hate that...", the Hellraiser said and presented a vulnerability to the small rocker that she never had shown to anyone but her sister. Finella trusted Chris enough to be herself, of course she was the Hellraiser too, a loudmouthed, brawling, tough, punk bitch and demon of the ring, but that was just a part of her.

Finella also could be one of the most kind and sweet persons you have ever met, Molly had been witness to this too when she and Finella had made up with each other. The only people who had seen her like this where Moni, Molly, Sheila and now Chris. All people she loved and trusted. When she was done she sighed and gave the small tube to Chris. "Would you mind? And please be gentle, that stuff burns like hell...", she groaned and turned her bare back to Chris.

[GolemGuardian]

Everything was just so new to Chris. The rocker was a believer that music could connect all kinds of people - not like a connect the world through music kind of belief, mind you. But she had collabed with many indie artists, thrashed with the most enthusiastic of rock fans, and yet here with Finella everything just was so much easier. She could feel a little more at ease, and showed that with trusting the Hellraiser with her deepest secret.

With the dishes finished, as slow as possible obviously, she rejoined Fin in her room to answer her questions. "No, I never got to see him live. Last time he was in the US, he was a few states away from where my uncle lived. Actually got the poster when I got off the plane in Kyoto." Chris shrugged, taking the gel from Fin. "Saw a disc with one of his more recent concerts on it for sale a few days ago, been tempted to buy it. Maybe I'll do so and we can watch it together when there's not a bunny in need of some horrid vengeance?" Chris then started to apply it onto Fin's back, being as careful as she could without agitating the fresh wounds too much. She couldn't help herself as she looked down on all the scars her frien-ster - nope, that sounded weird, never referring to her as that again - had accumulated. It was part pity, and part admiration.

Pity that a young girl had to endure all that she had for as many years as she had, and even if Chris didn't have the full story, she couldn't help but question why or how Moni could not do whatever she could to find her younger sister. But on the opposite side of the spectrum, there was admiration that Finella had endured all of that and come out so strong. Finella was strong, physically and in willpower. Maybe that was another reason they fit so well? Or maybe it was one of those platonic soulmate scenarios that some BS psychics sold to people? Or maybe it wasn't actual BS? Well, either way, Chris would continue to mentally debate that as she took care to give Finella her medicine.

[RedShinigami]

Finellas train of thought was'nt as sophisticated as Chris was. Sure she was no idiot but she was'nt the brightest light on the christmas tree too. Finella got a lot of shrewdness, knowing to talk and battle her out of situations and to care for herself, still, relying on someone with more..."brain capacity" was something she sure was in need off. So her thoughts did'nt dive into the "What is this?!", too much. First because she was tired, secondly because her body hurt and third...because she did'nt care. She knew she loved Chris, as much as she did Harmonia. She knew she did'nt want to miss her in her life anymore, knew that she had found someone whom she could tell everything, someone she could cry in front off and the most important thing, someone who understood her and her music. They would make music together, they would fight together, they would be happy together and show everyone at LAW what they are made off.

"Hey Chris...still wanna do this thing?", she said and smiled as her friend put the medicine on her that started to cool her hurting body down and sent shivers through her system. "Like...becoming a band and a Tag Team? You know I practiced that lonely wolf skit for so long, it would be nice to have someone to rely on when getting battered in the ring.", she smiled. "Thats why I want you to be on my side when I finally put that bitch in her place.", Finella said and turned her head so she could look her friend in the beautiful eyes. Blue and lavender met and Fin gave her a big, charming smile while tilting her head. "Please say yes."

[GolemGuardian]

Chris got into her own head as she started applying the medicine. When had the last time she had been this open with someone? She had felt reprieve when Shiori had saved her at the Christmas party she intended, and the two hit it off pretty well. But that was one thing.

With Finella, Chris felt vulnerable in a good way. Maybe that was how siblings felt for each other? Able to share anything with them, no matter how scared the idea of saying something so personal felt. There was a platonic closeness to them, that much she knew. What it could be called was something she didn't know, but sister was definitely a good place to start.

She snapped back when Finella made her request. While Chris hadn't actually given verification that she accepted Fin's terms aside from her little tease earlier, the more she thought it over the more it sounded appealing. "I've collabed with a lot of other indie artists. But only for like a few songs." Chris stopped once she was halfway up Fin's back, applying some more to her palms and readying to apply more. "That's how it's been most of the time. But I think with you Fin, I'd definitely give this idea of yours a try."

When her hands reached Fin's shoulders, the rocker locker eyes with her partner and gave her a signature cocky smile. "One ground rule, though. We may be a band, but I'm also still going to focus on my solo career. Can't just abandon it yet. Sound good, aibou?" Wait, how much Japanese did Fin know? Did she know what that meant? Eh, Chris'd just explain it later if she didn't.

[RedShinigami]

Finella who spoke japanese barely and sounded like a genderbent Arnold Schwarzenegger when talking english of course was'nt familiar with the subtleties of the japanese language and often talked more hogwash then normal japanese and so she just tilted her head.

"Uhm, yeah cool... But I swear, call me Bobo once again!", she said and began to laugh putting her forehead against Chris and let go of all the bad feelings of this evening and just relaxed.

The medicine worked, cooling her body and the alcohol cushioned the pain enough for Finella to relax and have fun with her new friend. And making great plans.

She put on her shirt when Chris was done and looked at her.

"So we doing this? We make music and kick ass?!", she said with a grin and threw some devilhorns in the air.
"The most badass band and Tag Team LAW has ever seen!", she smiled.

[GolemGuardian]

"Not Bobo. Aibou. It means partner, you clown." Chris probably should have expected Fin wouldn't get it. With how often it was used in shows and anime she figured the wolf would have got it, though. "Definitely gonna have to teach you Japanese soon." Chris chuckled, pressing her forehead against Fin's. There had been enough tension for tonight, for now they should just focus on the future ahead.

"Yeah. We'll work on a tag name tomorrow. A name that all of LAW will fear when they hear." The rocker then pulled away, raising her own devilhorns. "But for now, at least, think you'd better get some rest. You've already been pushing yourself way more than you should." Chris walked towards the door, intent on setting up the futon. "You can take my bed. It's a lot comfier than the futon, after all."

[RedShinigami]

Finellas face grew a big wolfish smile, one snaggletooth peaking out under her upper lip. "Oooooh yeah! PARTNER!", she cheered threw a devilhorn into the air. She did'nt know exactly what it was, but Chris felt like home to her. She was beautiful, friendly and the soft voice of hers was a blessing for Finellas ears. She just loved her new sister, no she adored her. What she had done for her this evening was something that Finella would never forget.

But when the snowhaired wrestler got up Finella quickly felt an emptiness coming over her, feeling her wounds burn again and she quickly reached for Chris hand. "Chris...", she said with a pleading look. "P-Please...could...could you stay with me. I-I don't think I can be alone tonight. Don't worry, despite what you have heard, I would be much too tired for something and never would do this to you. You are my sister, that would be yucky...", she chuckled and the blackhaired hellraiser, usually seen in bars, drinking, brawling and running her mouth showed a side of hers that Chris Yukine was exclusive too. No one would ever see her like that, then Chris and Finella would make sure of that. In return, Chris could trust in Finella 100%.
She did'nt let her go, held her small hand with hers and looked up to her. "Please Chris...I don't want to be alone tonight...", she whispered and looked to the side, ashamed of what a poor picture she presented.

"Just for this night...well maybe the next one too...", she softly said and it was clear that Finella needed someone not for one or two nights and that she intended to sleep in Chris bed as long as she would need to. All that was left was Chris answer and if she denied then the wolf had to take it, if reluctantly...

[GolemGuardian]

With the confusion cleared up, Chris let out a little laugh as they both raised their devilhorns. "Anyone unfortunate enough to fight us won't be ready for us," she said as she matched toothy grin for toothy grin. It was really nice, the energy between them. Smothering, but comforting, like a heavy blanket under the comforter for frigid nights. You feel nice and warm and fuzzy under it, but it can get too hot too fast if you lay under it too long.

There was probably better analogies, but somehow that just sounded right with Finella.

The rock star stood back up, but she stopped when she felt her partner/pseudo-sister/friend - she really needed to figure out a label for this for less mental confusion - grab her hand and ask her to stay. Though when she delved into not wanting to do anything, the snow haired high flyer gave the same blushing glare she did at the table. She appreciated the Hellraiser's intentions and how she would never consider doing those kinds of things with her, but it was almost like a broken record from earlier. Probably had to do with how she had felt so alone before they met earlier, if she had to guess.

Chris pursed her lips, once the black haired wolf finished her spiel. She waited for a few moments, literally mulling it over. It was what Finella needed, but Chris hadn't ever slept in the same bed as someone. For one, it was more space for her. And for two, she hadn't shared a bed since she had to wait for her uncle to fly out and get her. And the little snowflake she was hated it. Then again that was a stranger and she had just lost her parents. Lotta reasons to have hated it. Maybe with someone she actually could stand it'd be fine?

After a number of seconds, each one she imagined keeping Fin on pins and needles, she finally let out a deflated sigh and sat back down. "OK, fine. For one night, two depending on how it goes." She rolled her neck, squeezing her partner's hand and then standing up again. "I'm going to grab my pajamas, and then go change in the bathroom. I'll be back in a minute." Chris grabbed something from her dresser, and left the room to go change, leaving Finella to either look around more or get into her head or whatever the Hellraiser did when she was in wholesome moments, few as they were from how the wolf sounded.

[RedShinigami]

Finella sat there and hoped that it would'nt sound akward or worse, ruin her reputation...maybe Chris would'nt like her anymore...would throw her out because this was to akward. They only knew each other for like 12 hours, but Finella felt so much for her, knew she could trust her and she did'nt want to be alone. She knew that something terrible would happen if she was left alone and she needed a body to hang on to. And Chris, whom she loved and trusted so much, was the best sleeping buddy she could wish for. So when the Rockstar gave in, Finellas face brightend and she put on hand on her right chest. "I solemnly swear that I am up to just good!", she giggled and with all the pressure falling down from her she let herself sink in the matress, pulling up the covers. The bed smelled nice. Freshly cleaned blankets and of course, Chris scent. Which was a nice, comforting scent that made Finella smile. She had smelled it when they sat together, making music too and when she kissed her on the forehead. It was a scent she could live with, not she wanted to live with, because it told her, before she could see her, that Chris had entered the room.

The Hellraiser tucked herself in and fought her eyes from closing, wanting at least to thank Chris for what she did to her, but the day had been long and grueling, costing her all her energy and so her eyes fell close...not likely to open again this night. If Chris suddenly decided to not stay with Finella, the wolf would'nt know any better and at the next morning Chris could tell her she awakened first. She could...but would she break the promise?

[GolemGuardian]

"If you say so, Ms. Marauder's Map." Chris teased with an eye roll. She may not know many movies, but she read books. She could recognize those references easily. Hopefully that also saved her some face from earlier in the parlor. Soon Fin got comfortable under her covers, causing the rocker to give another giggle. "OK, I'll be right back." And with that she grabbed her pajamas and left.

It would take about ten minutes, but eventually the snow haired high flyer returned to see Fin asleep.

Spoiler

"Poor girl must've been exhausted. I can't imagine everything going on in there." She poked Fin's forehead, gentle enough to hopefully not wake the her. "Everything Chelsea did to her, not to mention the emotions clashing and sprawling about like her namesake." Chris stood at the side of the bed, smiling at how peaceful the girl looked. Even if the chance was here, to go sleep on the borderline uncomfortable futon and give Fin the bed for herself, right now she couldn't bring herself to deny the request to share the bed.

Chris quickly looked her phone, wondering if Moni had gotten her text and how she was feeling. As upset as Chris was about her actions, the Superstsr did come to the idea with good intentions. It was stupid to think it could go well, but Harmonia never intended it to go this way. And Chris had grown close to her when they all had worked their butts off for the ex-model's gimmick change show. She still deserved some sympathy, albeit hidden by passive aggression.

With a sigh, she turned her phone off and set it aside, getting into bed behind the wolf and tried her best not to disturb her. "Good night, Fin. Looking forward to all our planning tomorrow." She said quietly, and then closed her own eyes to drift off to dreamland.
