Blossoming love and blooming friendships

[RedShinigami]

Veronika Noir, the famous Queen of Hearts and member of the heel team "Heart Connection", which took LAW per storm thanks to her managers money ,her brains and her and her girlfriend Sachikos good looks and hot bodies, sat at a bench drinking some "Dr. Pepper Cherry Crush". Of course Zero because she had to look at her body, something that was very important in their business. She wore a nice summerdress, heartshaped sunglasses, a strawhat and some stylish sandales to round things up. After all, it was summer and the less to wear, the better.

But she was not alone. Next to her was someone Veronika had managed to become friends with rather quick, someone she had granted a whole day for two at a spa just to take thinhs of her mind. It had all begun with Veronika being announced to special referee for some sort of final match between Kama and her old rival Sylvia Steiner. Wanting to get to know the two she met both and while the day with Kama had been a dream, the time with Sylvia was...less so. Veronika got to know what she had to after ten minutes and the meeting did:nt take long. Her time with Kama tough...went into the deep of the night.
The Queen of Hearts looked over to her friend and smiled, intwining their fingers. Not long ago she had a match with Kama. It was a handicap match with Sachiko present and as things went on, some situations went a bit ugly. Tough Veronika and Kama had managed to pull through in the end and no one had bad feelings about it. Tough Veronika wanted to use the time she had with her friend as they waited both for the members of the team "Moonrock", both for different reasons tough.

She turned to Kama with a smile and cheekily pressed the cold can to her cheek. "Wanna try? Oh...I have a better idea tough!", she said, took a sip and leaned over, locking lips with her friend as she had so often and shared the cherry sweet flavour with her friend. A warm feeling went through her as it went on and when they parted Veronika layed her arms around her friend, moving in closer and putting her head on top of the islanders.

"Kama-chan? We are still friends are'nt we?", she asked out of the blue. "I am really sorry things went out of hand at some points but Sachi is Sachi..She is, deep down, a very loving and supportive girl. But that's not what I wanted to talk about.", she said and softly stroked Kamas silky hair.
"I wish you all the best for your date. Finella is'nt exactly an easy character to handle, but as you have seen, she is full of compassion, love and she looks mighty fine, would'nt you agree?", she chuckled and gave Kamas forehead a few kisses.

"I just wanted to say...that...uhm...I know how you felt and all and about me and Sachi. And let me tell you that you have a very special place in my heart. I love you Kama-chan.", she said and gave both of Kamas cheeks kisses as she leaned in, their foreheads touching. "And I want to fight you again. You and me and a bed...and nothing else, ok?", she smiled and gave Kama a quick peck on the lips.
"Have the time of your life today, Island-chan. You know that your besty sexy friend Veronika is always there to support ya!", she grinned and hugged her tight as they suddenly heard some commotion.

Veronika listened and then grinned next to Kamas ear.
"Seems the jellybeans and wolves are arriving...", she said and looked up. As she saw her two friendsy especially Chris, she waved to them and got up, taking Kamas hand in the process and walked up to them.
As she arrived she gave a whistle at Finellas appearance in a beautiful blue dress as she looked at Chris and grinned.

"Hi Jelly-chan. Cherry Crush!", she grinned and pulled the small rocker in a tight hug almost like a bearhug and smiled.
"Oh how I missed you!", she said and when she let Chris down and using the moment she just went forward and gave her friend a quick peck on the lips.
"Mh, strawberry chapstick today, eh?", she chuckled as Finella, weirdly calm, approqched Kama and smiled shyly.

"Uhm...hallo...Kama-chan...you...you look gut...nein..nein..
not gut...beautiful! I mean...uh...scheiße...", she said and held up a present box before her.
"These are for you. I-I made them myself!", she said and gave her date the small box of chocolates which had been neatly wrapped.

Veronika grinned.
"Say...how about we leave our little lovebirds and go shopping, eh Jelly?", she said and Finella gasped.
"Hey...don't say it like that or I kick your fucking teeth in and...", she said and froze when she saw Kama next to her.
"I uh...meant uh...I would be very upset...", she said and Veronika laughed, taking Chris hand in hers as she waved to them.
"See you later you two! Now come on Chris, let's hit the mall!", she said and left both of them.

Finella looked to the and then to Kama.
"Hehe...thats Veri for you. Well uhm...", she said and reached out her hand.
"Wanna take a walk before we eat?", she said with a smile and looked up to the slightly bigger goddess with big eyes and red cheeks.

Kama sat next to her friend, Veronika Noire, as she awaited for Finella, the woman who rescued her in her last promo. After the two gave the intruding Sylvia, as well as her little cousin with the help a third wrestler, a well deserved beating, the ravenette asked the deity on a date. Figuring the girl deserved some kind of reward, Kama had agreed.

The sexy blond next to her had helped her dress up for the date, sporting a plaid skirt, breathable sweater, gold, upside down heart earrings, and red barret. While it looked heavy for the summer sun, the attire was actually quite airy, keeping her both cool and fashionable. Veri had even helped braid her hair, as the islander had no experience doing it herself. The two mostly spoke of the upcoming date, Kama fearing to broach the subject that ached her heart.

During her handicap match with her friend and her girlfriend/tag partner, both she and Veri got a little to harsh with one another. Things ended amicably, but the uneasiness never left the islander, even as Veri gave her cherry filled kiss, slipping the sweet, zero calorie fizz into her mouth before speaking. Kama could only look down, and listen until there was a pause.

"We are friends, Veri..." Kama began, as Veri continued while stroking her hair and kissing her forehead and then her lips. "And that sounds nice. The match, and the place in your heart. It's just... that day, at the spa, meant so much to me. Maybe... maybe blindingly, so. It just.. will take a bit to acxelt that we met too late."

Kama breathed out, giving Veri a smile. "I'm looking forward to this date. Maybe take my mind off that for a bit, and make sure the kind, sexy savior has the best time." This time it was Kama's turn to kiss Veri, lasting a few moments, as if saying farewell to a dream. Something to linger in her friend's mind, while the deity attempted moving on.

"It will be fine. Just be yourself," A voice said, cutting off any further conversation between the two middleweights.

"We'll... we'll finish this convo when you set up that bedroom match, OK?" The deity suggested, standing up as the two girls rounded the corner. The familiar, blue dressed wolf sporting an adorable pair of glasses, and an unfamiliar, smaller, snow haired girl sporting a similar style to her. 'Weird coincidence,' Kama thought, giving her blond friend as she approached the 'Jelly-chan.'

"Mou! Urusai!" Chris said with a blush, lightly pushing Veri away with a pout. "And... it's raspberry. I thought I'd try something else..." the rocker mumbled, looking away with her red cheeks.

Kama couldn't help but giggle at the sight, before turning her attention back to her stuttering date. "Speak for yourself, little Fin. That blue looks adorable on you." Kama complimented as she grabbed the box, leaning in to kiss the ravenette's cheek in thanks. "Hope you don't mind if I save this for after dinner."

Chris smiled at seeing her sis' nervousness. It was nice to see the girl get out of her shell, even if she did try shrinking back into it as she and Veri spoke. She stayed silent, waiting for Veri to finish her teasing, before grabbing her friend's hand as she announced their departure. "Have fun, Fin! Don't keep her out too late, OK?" She said to Kama, before her and Veri left.

Kama waved to Veri and Chris as they left, giving a sigh before reaching down and taking her date's hand. "Lead the way, oh savior of mine~" She lulled into a tease, waiting for Finella to lead the way on what would either be an aimless walk, or to their venue.

Veronika would'nt lie, hearing this words out of Kamas mouth both flattered and made her sad at the same time. Had she again pushed things too far? This time not out of spite but out of feeling a common spirit in Kama who was also haunted by a terrible woman and also....well because Kama was fucking hot. And indeed, that day in the spa was the best sex she did have in years so she would'nt complain when Kama more or less put her sights on her. But then Sachi came and everything went upside down and now she had to face the cruel reality that Kama seemed to at least have a crush on her while Veronika was not be able to give to the Goddess what she deserved...

When she heard her talk, a burning iron shoved itself into her heart and filled her with guilty concience.
"Kama-chan listen...I...I never wanted to hurt you and...",she began as the team of Moonrock appeared and with them two other persons Veri loved and cared for.
Especially the smaller one of the two, wearing a cute outfit with a red baret today that made the Franco-Austrians hurting heart melt.

She immediatly was all over her, taking her hand and leading her away into their own fun afternoon she hoped. But it had'nt always been like that. In fact, only a few years ago the two hated each other from the bottom of their hearts. Veronika tried more then once to utterly destroy both Chris mind and body, not caring what would happen to her then rival, as she was still haunted by spirits of her past. Spirits that since had left her and whom she managed to beat, thanks to her friends and girlfriend. So when the two of them walked into the innercity and up to a big mall, Veronika squeezed Chris hand softly and looked at her.

"Raspberry eh? Seems I have to take another taste, yes?", she giggled and leaned her head onto Chris for a moment.
"You really look cute today, Jelly-chan. How do you like my outfit?", the delinquent girl grinned and turned around herself for a quick second before grabbing Chris hand again like it was a saving anchor in the darkness.
"So glad we found time to spend some time together. We should meet more often again, don',t you agree?", Veronika said as they crossed the street to the entrance of the mall.

Meanwhile Finellas heart raced away with 200 miles per hour. What was happenin to her? She was the Hellraiser! She dated many girls and boys alike and never ever have felt so...weak...insecure. No, this words did'nt describe the warm feeling inside her well. It was more like...relaxed...at ease and unsure. When Kama mentioned her outfit she smiled a little.
"Uhm uh...seems I am really overdressed hm?", she said and looked at the chocolates.

"Oh please, whenever you like to eat them...I mean...you can eat them whenever you...gaaaah!", she said and shook her head.
"Sorry for being so fucking akward...", she said and lowered her head and without even noticing it, leaning against Kama. The barrier between them had already been broken in the match, so bodily contact was'nt as akward for Fin as to really have a longer conversation.

She looked up from between Kamas breasts, her hands on the deitys hips.
"Let's grab a bite and then go to the beach?", she said with big, eyes that had the colours of a bright fullmoon and the deep blue night surrounding it. As the light fell on Finellas blue eyes, it reflected in pinpoints of silver, making it seem as if stars had appeared at the night sky in her eyes.

As Veri tried to speak up, with each of their shorter companions for the day approaching, Kama shot her a look to silently say 'later.' She knew the implications of what she said, how it no doubt hurt her friend similar to how Kama's own heart felt.

But today was to set such pain aside. Any true closure could wait until later, when the two had their own day. When they were in that match Veri promised, before their tender loving so the healing could begin.

Soon as the two lightweights made their appearance, the two paired off with their respective partners for the day. Two, "eternal rivals", putting such hatred beside them and growing close. And two who only met recently, sharing a more intimate and exploratory event.

"You... look cute to..," Chris muttered out as they walked away, or rather Chris was dragged away by her friend. She struggled to keep up, at first, but soon matched Veri's pace. "It's nice to spend time just us, yeah. I'm glad Tania agreed to watch Fenrir, Croissant, and Champaign while we were out. Hope those three don't tire her out too much."

Chris smiled as the two walked, leaning against the Franco-Austrian now and then. Things were nice now between them, with all the hate swept away. Truthfully, and naively she admitted, it was something she was hoping for when she first saw the blond.

"So, any idea where we're going, or we just gonna wing this?" The rocker asked suddenly, not wanting to break the comfortable silence that was only broken by their shoes clacking. "Not that I'll mind, either way, of course."

Back with the islander and dichromatic Austrian, Kama raised her eyebrow at the slightly smaller girl's fumbling. It was cute, and definitely brought a smile to her face, but she didn't want her date to be mired in nervousness. As the wolf looked up from the deity's chest, she lightly stroked her long, black hair in a soothing matter. "Just breath, OK?" She suggested, wrapping her other arm around Finella's waist.

Red stared down into blue and yellow, admiring the flecks of silver in Finella's eyes. "Dinner sounds lovely~ So, when you are good and ready Finella, lead the way~" Kama kissed Finella on the forehead, happy to wait until the girl collected herself in her arms.

Veronika grinned and laid her head onto the Rockers.
"Naaaaw, thanks my sweet little Jelly!", Veronika said and hugged Chris closer to her.
"I just waited for today for us to..."
She stopped and stared into space for a moment, as if to ponder what to say next.
Then she just lent over and gave her "friend" a kiss on the forehead.
"Jelly...uhm...Chris.", she said and stopped in her tracks, getting in front of her former rival and putting her hands onto her shoulders.
"Is...is...really everything settled between us? No...no hard feelings anymore?", she asked as everything from the look in her eyes to the tone in her voice proved that she meant it.
"Before we start our day...I just want to know...", she said and bent her head down, going forehead to forehead with the lightweight.
"If you have truly...forgiven me...", she said as pink met lavender and both women were as close as they had been in their matches. Tough everything was different. Veronikas touch was considerate, her embrace gentle, her words soft and her gaze full of compassion. This was'nt the spiteful bitch Chris had met when they first met but a sweet and sincere woman. Trying to make up for past mistakes.


Meanwhile the Wolf and the Goddess started to slowly getting to know each other better as Finellas right hand slipped down, interlocking with Kamas slender fingers.
The Wolf still blushed and fumbled a little as they walked on.
Finella stayed close to Kama, making her intentions very clear as she leaned onto the taller womans shoulder.
"I...I booked a table at my favourite restaurant. It has a nice ocean view and..."
Suddenly she stopped.
"It...it...it has salad too! No! Not that you need it...its because...oh goddamn...I am sorry...it...it..."
Finella took a deep breath and looked up to Kama, her eyes starting to tear up.
"You...you are just so...so...beautiful and perfect...I...I...just...", she began as she leaned into the goddess.
""I...I just want you to be happy...so...so..."
Finella looked up, tears filled her eyes.
"You don't leave me...right...right away...I.am sorry...", the Wolf said, being as open as she could as they reached the restaurant.

[GolemGuardian]

Chris smiled from the little tit-for-tat. When they walked their dogs together from time to time, they usually just ended up talking about nothing. Chris' music career growing, Veri's ideas for Heart Connection merch - nothing that would ever make the lightweight too uncomfortable, thankfully. But here, without distraction of the dogs tugging at their leashes, the two could really just enjoy one another's company.

And then the niceness, that made Chris' cheeks pink, came to a crushing halt. Veri stepped in front and leaned down, forehead to forehead, asking if everything truly was good between the two of them. A topic that came up time to time, where Chris tried to dismiss it with a 'Yes,' or even a 'I'm sure.' Something that didn't seem would work this time, as the guilty blond pushed more fervently than usual.

"Veronika," Chris started, finding the best words she could. "When we first met, on that beach, in that... embarrassing swimsuit... I thought you'd be a great wrestler and someone I'd love to know. We know that didn't happen, almost wanting to kill one another." She chuckled nervously, trying to lighten the heavy sentence she ended with.

"But now, with all settled, even if... I still regret how far I took things... It's how I imagined things to go. You've changed so much since then." Her arms looped around the Franco-Austrian's neck, holding her friend close. "Well, where it counts, at least. You at least keep it to the ring, now. I enjoy the moments we have here and there. So, yes, Veri. You are forgiven, and things are all squared away."

Chris' gaze then fell to Veri's left arm. The arm she broke in their final, grueling match. "So... so long as you can forgive me for..... for doing... you know..." She sheepishly whispered, averting her gaze soon after.


As the two, former rivals bared their hearts, Finella and Kama were on their way to the restaurant. From how it sounded, it was going to be an incredible place. Something Kama wouldn't normally go, worrying about how much it could cost. Even if she made good money in LAW now, she still didn't like spending too much, preferring to save up.

Kama, though, raised an eyebrow when Finella continued fumbling over her words as she was. Some moments passed, the sound of their steps the only sound before the deity chuckled. If it were Sylvia who said something like that, maybe Kama would take offense. But instead, she held her blue clad date close to her.

"I won't, I promise," she cooed, stroking the slightly shorter woman's hair with her free hand. "I'm sure you didn't mean offense. But.... let's call this a cheat meal for me. Maybe we can share something, alongside a salad you seem intent to sell me on?"
