Good Evening Kittens! I really enjoyed Rugrats while growing up and when I realized I was gay I started shipping this couple...Not exactly sure why, besides the fact that Kimi was like my idol. Anyways here is a story about Lil and Kimi. I'm also working on another chapter for "Midnight Talks"
I Do Not Own Rugrats/All Grown Up!
Lots a Lot a Love, KandiKitty
Kimi
I yawned leaning my head on my hand. I barely got an hour of sleep last night, I had to open Lava Java this morning at 5am and now I was running the whole place by myself- in conclusion it was a long day that wasn't close to being over. I surveyed the small shop- Phil and Dil were playing some card game, a business man was typing on his laptop cursing under his breath and a group of girls were in the corner giggling wildly about something. "What a way to spend the day of your birthday..." Dil said refilling is hot chocolate. I nodded "No kidding, at least my parents are giving me the rest of the weekend off." The orange haired boy tilted his head "What are you doing this weekend?" I smiled softly "Lil said she has a surprise for me tonight than Saturday she and Phil are throwing a horror movie marathon for the group, kind of a nice little party." A brunette with a lip ring and bright green eyes came up to the counter "Can I get a medium carmel macchiato, hot please?" She smile warmly "Whip cream on that?" I asked looking back to Dil "Wait...Dude we discussed the party as a group? It was your idea!" the brunette smirked at our conversation "Yes, please. Sounds like you guys are going to have fun this weekend?"
The bell on the door rang signaling another customer walking in "Yeah, just doing something small for my birthday. $4.34." She handed me a ten "Keep the change...consider it a birthday present." She winked at me as Dil handed her the coffee she ordered. Well she sure is friendly, I thought to myself smiling at her. "I hope you have a good birthday." Just than Lil came behind the counter glaring at the girl "She will, thanks." The girl looked questioningly at Lil, her eyes widen as if she realized something "Oh man! Dude sorry." she held up her free hand than left. I turned to the eldest Deville Twin "What was that about, Lil? Why did she say sorry?" She just shrugged "Dunno, she was weird." I heard Dil stifle a laugh before Lil elbowed him in the ribs. "Anyways, I wanted to talk to you real fast if that's possible?" The business man came up for a refill "I got it Kimi!" Dil smiled excitedly "You sure?" He nodded "Yeah go have girl-talk! I can cover for awhile."
We sat at a table in the back of the shop "What's up Lil?" she twisted a long strand of hair around her finger "When do you get off? We need to leave as soon as we can to get where we are going." I smiled and rolled my eyes "That's what you needed to talk about? Well I am running the shop by myself today and it's only 3 and we don't close until 7," She perked up "Hold on!" Lil stood up, walked over to Phil and had a short but intense conversation with him. The siblings embraced before she came back "Taken care of! Phil said him and Dil will work for the rest of your shift and lock up! Meaning we can leave now!" Her brown eyes sparkled like I'd never seen before, where ever we were going she was really happy about it. I contemplated this for a little while "Alright...Fine! Take me to my house to get my things." Lil smiled ear to ear "Yes!" We exited the shop and within 20 minutes we were on our way to who knows where.
That Morning
A girl with long hair that was black at the roots and slowly faded to dark purple was bustling around the house. She was mumbling under her breathe, sounding just a tad panicky. As soon as she found out it was a snow day she had planned on spending the morning making sure everything was ready. Betty sat at the dinner table with a cup of coffee watching her only daughter. "Lillian Deville! Calm down, you have all day." The daughter in question let out a long sigh before taking a sit with her mom "It's her 17th birthday! I can't let her down, mom!" Betty smiled softly placing a hand on Lil's shoulder "Sweetie we both know that isn't why you are freaking out."
Lil was 14 when she told her mom she was Bisexual, Mrs. Deville laughed historically before realizing her actions could be taken the wrong way. She explained that she had known for awhile and was happy with whatever made her daughter happy. "Telling her is the right thing to do, Kimi is your best friend and even if she doesn't return your feelings she won't ever be disgusted by you." Betty spoke with sincerity trying to calm her eldest child before she had a panic attack. "I know...I'm just worried...She makes me so happy, I don't know what I would do if she just left.." The older woman rolled her eyes "Geez, this isn't Angelica we are talking about! It's Kimi! And even if she does reject you, there are a lot of pretty young ladies that would die to be with you!" Lilian blushed deeply laughing at her mothers statement.
"Thanks mom." She then preceded, at a slower pace, to finish wrapping Kimi's gift and thriple checking she hadn't forgotten anything. Around two thirty she became restless knowing that Kimi was running Lava Java by herself, thanks to Phil's text, she drove over to see when her best friend could close up shop so they could leave. As she entered her fists clenched at the sight she had walked into. A tall brunette was flirting with her Kimi! Though from what Kimi was doing, she was as clueless as always. "-Have a good birthday." The twin stepped in front of what she considered hers, giving the brunette the darkest glare she could manage "She will, thanks." The girl across the counter took a second before coming to the conclusion that Lil and Kimi were dating. Once that sunk in she backed away in defense "Oh man! Dude sorry!" Lil gave a wicked grin before turning to her best friend.
Lil
After three hours of driving we finally made it up to the cabin. I looked over to my companion,who had fallen asleep, she hadn't changed too much in recent years. Except now her hair was chin length in the front and the back was only an inch, always spiked up and was white as snow. "Kim, we are here." I nudged her slightly. "I'll un pack the car, go inside and get warm." Kimi started to protest but I just shook my head "No objections." I unloaded the car in one trip since I came up here yesterday to bring most of everything over and clean up. I started a fire while Kimi looked around "How long have you guys owned a cabin? I don't remember you or Phil ever mentioning it..." She asked while examining a picture of Phil and I when we were babies. "A little over a year, we've been remodeling for most of it and added on the upstairs over the summer, Mom and dad wanted to fix it up before we told you guys." "Oh" was all she said before sprawling out on the couch across from the now blazing fire. "Why'd you bring me up here, Lil? It's pretty out of the way." I poked at the fire more trying to come up with a good answer "Eh, just thought it would be nice for us to get away from the guy for a night, ya know?" A blush creeped its way across my cheeks. We changed into pajamas, made popcorn and I put in Kimi's favorite movie, Cry-Baby. By mid movie Kimi was resting with her head in my lap.
"Lil, I know we aren't here for me. You've been avoiding people and been on edge. What's wrong? Don't give me any BS about it either, you've been acting weird for a good while now. I thought you would have told me but since you haven't, I figured this was as good as time as any." Her head was tiled so she could see me fully. I held my breath, I didn't think she noticed...I wasn't really prepared for this conversation to go this way, but I had to figure out something to say."Kimi it's...I'm worried I shouldn't tell you, I don't want you to freak out or...leave or something..." She screwed up her face in confusion, "Lilian, do you really think after all these years I'm just gonna up and leave you after you tell me something? Not to mention it would take me ages to reach any form of a town from up here!" I laughed lightly "Mom said you'd say something like that."
I walked out to one of my bags pulling out a thin long box wrapped in purple paper with a green bow. "Just..don't leave until I'm done okay?" I set the box on the end table by her head while I sat on the coffee table. "Lil I-" I raised a hand to stop her. "Kimi, what I'm about to say...Is something I've come to terms with, but it took time. I'm willing to give you the same time as well, so if you want to leave just wait until I say I'm done," I look a deep breath to calm my shaking body "We've been friends since like pre-k, you've stuck by me when things got rough and I've told you everything I wouldn't tell any other soul...all expect one thing..Kimi, I'm Bisexual." I took a pause to breathe and collect my thoughts, she didn't say anything just looked confused and a little angry probably because I didn't tell her sooner. "I'm telling you this now because after all these years I can't keep it to myself anymore. Kimi, I like you, like more than friends like you...It's something I thought would fade away but it didn't, it just grew stronger. I don't want you to get scared because you think I'm telling you I'm in love with you, I'm not 'in love' with you...But I think I could fall for you so easily if you let me. If you don't reciprocate these feelings or...If you want to leave, let me know and I can take you home or I'll just keep my distance, like arms length away or something."
I blinked back some tears, forcing my eyes to lock with hers so she knew I was serious. Her face was blank, nothing not even disgust. She simply stood, grabbed her bag and went into the bathroom. I sighed heavily letting the tears fall. I curled up on the couch closing my eyes, Looks like you were wrong mom...I thought to myself. I don't know how long Kimi was in there but it was long enough for me to silently cry myself to sleep. I was awoken by a very warm, slightly wet body laying on top of me with her head on my chest. I tried to speak but Kimi shushed me. "Lilian...I've never really thought about you, or any girl, like that before. I mean I've had a few boyfriends but..there wasn't that spark there. They couldn't make me smile and laugh like you can." She brought her head up to look me in the eyes, "I'm not saying I could see myself falling for you, but I'm also not saying I couldn't see myself falling for you...I guess what I'm trying to say is- I'm willing to try this, us, but you have to be patient with me, okay?"
I wrapped her in my arms pulling her as close to me as possible "Thank you for the chance." I whispered in her ear than placed a light kiss on her forehead, which caused a blush to appear on her cheeks. We stayed like this for a couple hours, she asked me a bunch of questions about when I knew I was bisexual and when I knew I liked her. The conversation made it's way to today and how I planned this all. "Okay, so let me get this straight. You brought me all the way up here to tell me you liked me because you didn't want me to burst out the door and never come back," I nodded sheepishly, well when you put it like that you make me sound crazy. "And your parents agreed to this crazy idea and helped you plan it all?" I nodded once again "well they said they could see how much you mean to me." My new girlfriend blush slightly. "So what is in the box you brought out before, I just up and left?" I reached up on to the end table feeling for it with my fingers than handing it to her, "Look for yourself." rolling to her back Kimi opened it to find a deep purple guitar pick with 'Kimi' engraved on one side and 'Lil' on the other. There was a hole in the top connected to a silver chain.
"It's my favorite guitar pick. I used the graphic design lab at school to do the engraving and the chain was my grandmother but the original charm was a lady bug, I thought you would like this more." She lend up putting the necklace on "I love it, Lil." She placed a soft kiss on my lips. I wasn't expecting that, I gained enough composure to kiss her back before she pulled away with a blush making its way across her face. "Was that too soon?" I shook my head no "I just wasn't expecting you to kiss me." Kimi shrugged "I guess I'm really starting to like the idea of you being my girlfriend." That made me blush. "That makes me happy to hear." She locked eyes with me, "Can I do that again..?" Before I could answer she pressed her lips to mine, more rough than last time but just as amazing. I rested one hand on the back of her neck and the other on her waist pulling her closer. I could feel a smile in her kiss. When we pulled away her eyes were still closed "Woa.." She nuzzled her face in my neck.
That night we fell asleep on the couch, her cuddled up on my chest and me holding her protectively.
