Love, Foxes, & Roses

[Sigma Morgan]

Rose was walking slowly backstage after her match towards the locker room. She felt tired and just a little bit sore though it took her several minutes after the match ended to recover and get her bearings straight before walking backstage. Her opponent certainly was interesting to say the least, it was the most flirtatious match she had ever had in her career feeling something for her opponent she just couldn't understand what it was, the thought lingering in her head as she entered the locker room and immediately went to the bench near her locker and laid down on it and began to hum to herself. Rose wasn't really mad at her loss, her opponent was more skilled and beautiful and clearly left a positive impression on the rookie.

Chie had been in the locker room beforehand, having not been as banged up as Rose, and figured she could cool off and leave the arena for the night. She wanted to talk to Rose, but she believed it might be better to discuss these things later...she was leaving like a coward...not wanting to risk an awkward moment or a moment of soul-crushing humiliation from what she would try to say. However, as she reared around the corner, she saw Rose...laying there, on the bench, humming softly. She could've snuck away before the woman saw or heard her, but her heart acted before her mind, and she called out to her...

"H-...Hello." She said, unsure how to approach this. "I-...take it you're recovering smoothly?." Nice one, Chie. You're a real-deal smooth operator. She cursed herself internally for being so piss-poor at something as simple as communicating. She made that big declaration earlier to her, and yet, here she was, fumbling like a sports athlete who failed to score the game-winning play. "I shouldn't have said that...what an idiotic way to approach this, I-...I figured I would've had more time to prepare myself as opposed to just randomly bumping into you, but...Perhaps I would've never had the courage to actually make good on what I promised I would do." She walked toward Rose and stood in front of her, her semi-pale skin slightly red in the cheeks. "Are you alright?" She asked, her tone much more caring and gentle as opposed to her pragmatic, analytical, and serious manner of speech.

Rose continued to hum to herself before she heard a familiar voice call out to her causing Rose to spring to life and sit up quickly to find Chie in the room. "Hey Chie" Rose said in her usual friendly tone giving her a warm smile before giggling hearing Chie ask her something in a pragmatic way before hearing the woman apologize for it and watched as the woman walked towards her. "It's fine Chie, you don't owe me anything, that and I think that kick made me forget what it even was" Rose joked. "But I'm alright, I've been through worse" Rose added never losing the cheerfulness in her voice. "Are you alright?" the pink haired woman asked wanting to make sure Chie was okay also and that she didn't hurt her or anger her by mistake.

[Misfit_Alien]

"Yes, I'm-...I am fine." She responded as she sat next to Rose. This felt so painfully embarrassing. Here she was, an accomplished MMA fighter turned pro-wrestler after a career-ending injury, unable to speak to another woman without blushing like a schoolgirl trying to confess to a crush. Chie took a deep breath and faced her, looking into Rose's eyes. "I told you that after our match, I had to tell you something...something that I couldn't say then because it was meant to be for your ears only...That-." She took another breath before sighing. "That was a lie...I knew what I wanted to say then, but I didn't know HOW to say it...I thought that if I bought myself time...delayed the inevitable, I could come up with something profound or clever, but-...I am simply avoiding this out of fear. I don't know how to properly say these things. I haven't 'been' with someone in quite some time. I've let myself become detached from my emotions. I've distanced myself from how I truly feel. It almost feels foreign, talking about this, like a new language."

She scratches her hair, unsure of how to proceed. "This all feels so ridiculous...I'm exposing my innermost flaws and making a mockery of myself just trying to say it...Rose, you make me feel...different...I-In a good way. You make me feel extraordinary...valued...appreciated. Talking to you eases my heart. Being near you causes goosebumps to form across my body. My breath shakes and trembles when you speak so fondly of me. And when we wrestle...when I feel your skin on mine, it-...It makes me feel a warmth I didn't know I needed. I'm not sure if this is...pure love or...desire...but I know that I like you...and that I want to be near you...and that I adore you. I crave this feeling that you give me. I want to feel you against me. I want to hold and comfort you...I want to show you that I appreciate everything about you."

Rose slid closely to Chie when she saw the woman sit next to her. Rose listened carefully to what Chie was saying giving her an occasional nod to let her know she was listening and listening carefully as Rose soon blushed and smiled as Chie revealed her feelings. "Well- uh wow, I don't know what to say, I- Rose put her hand on Chie's thigh before leaning over and giving Chie a quick peck on the lips. "Chie, your absolutely amazing, and I really do like you also, you really are sweet, a bit confusing at first but really sweet" Rose said with a smile unsure what to say next. "I don't know what to say I've never had someone tell me they liked me that much, I mean I really do like her also, I just don't know what to say" Rose thought to herself.

Chie shivered as she felt Rose's hand upon her thigh. She saw her leaning over, and she froze for a moment...Was she-? She was. Rose was leaning in for a quick kiss...Chie didn't know how to respond. She just sat there...but then-...Her body began to move on its own as her lips met Rose's halfway, exchanging a brief moment of tenderness as they kissed briefly. She listened closely to Rose's words, understanding her and how she felt. Chie would take Rose's hand, gently holding it in her palm. "Well, if I confused you...then let me be as clear as I possibly can." She said, leaning back in to kiss Rose once more, but this time, for much longer. Chie wanted the pink-haired woman to feel her admiration for her. When the kiss broke, Chie let out a gasp, red in the face as she felt her lips twist into a smile, overwhelmed but...happy. "Actions...speak louder than words, no?"

Rose's heart skipped a beat as she felt Chie hold her hand before hearing Chie speak again. A blush formed on Rose's face as Chie kissed her once again but this time the kiss was much longer and felt more passionate. Rose brought her free hand to the back of Chie's head gently holding her there as they kissed. When the kiss eventually ended and the two gasped for air Rose was smiling ear to ear. "W-Wow" Rose said red in the face. "Yeah they do! Wow.... but um what now?" Rose asked moving her hand to cup Chie's face, stroking her cheek with her thumb.

Chie felt stunned, amazed at herself for being able to go through with such an act without messing it up...and from the looks of it, Rose seemed to enjoy it as well. Chie felt the woman's hand caress her cheek, that thumb brushing along the side of her face so softly...it made the former MMA fighter blush like mad, her face reddening to a deeper extent. Chie returns the favor by softly rubbing her hand up and down the woman's thigh and hip, feeling up her lower figure as she stares into her eyes longingly, eager to see where the night takes them...which gives her an idea. "We could go out. On a date, the two of us. Nothing...serious, just-...just the chance to spend some time together. Learn about one another, and see how we really feel. And then, if all goes well...I'd be honored if you'd join me at my home for tea and to-...enjoy each other's company." She said, smirking at that last part to imply what she REALLY meant. "Of course, only if you'd like..."

[Sigma Morgan]

Rose smiled as she saw Chie blush and soon Rose was blushing as well as Chie rubbed her thigh and hip. Rose's expression soon lit up like a Christmas tree as Chie asked her out on a date. "ABSOLUTELY!" Rose said a smile almost jumping out of her seat with excitement. "I mean I would love that and I really want to share myself with you" Rose said forcing herself to calm down a bit. "Just give me a minute" Rose said standing up and going to get locker and unlocking it before stripping out of her outfit in a way hoping Chie would watch but she didn't want to make things too awkward if she didn't, but Rose then grabbed her panties from her locker sliding them on before putting her bra on followed by her shirt, then her jeans, and lastly her socks and shoes. "So where did you want to go?" Rose asked.

[Misfit_Alien]

Chie was shocked that Rose would be so receptive and excited. She nearly overwhelmed the white-haired woman with her explosive reaction, causing Chie's heartbeat to skyrocket like a metronome on the fastest setting. When Rose said that she wanted to 'share herself' with Chie, it made the former MMA fighter feel a strange warmth and comfort inside that she hadn't experienced in a long time. That yearning...that fiery desire. Chie could barely restrain herself. As Rose changed clothes, Chie watched her from the corner of her eye, getting a nice look at the pink-haired woman's beautiful, slim figure...her body curving in and out at all the right places as her casual outfit hugged her body's proportions...Just then, Chie had the thought of tearing all of Rose's clothes off and just going at it then and there. These were uncharted waters for the fox-themed wrestler, and she was excited to explore them.

"Well, I was thinking that we could go to a little ramen bar. Get something to fill our stomachs slightly, share a drink or two, and just talk...the two of us." She said, getting closer to Rose, wrapping her arms around her waist as she brought her in close for a hug, looking into those soft eyes of hers. "I want to get to know you before I 'experience' you." She said, trying her hand at 'flirting'...
