A/N: Kyu tries to get Nikki to come out of her shell by taking her out. Human!Kyu still has pink hair, but no wings, and dresses a little more...normal. (Oneshot. Warning of underage drinking. Human!Kyu. Includes Woman/Woman. Kyu/Nikki. T)
"C'mon, Nikki. Grab your shit and let's go."
Nikki groaned. "I don't want to. Can't we just hang out here?" She didn't look up from her 3DS. When Kyu snapped it shut, pulling it away, Nikki cried out, "Hey!"
"Oh please, you won't lose your progress," Kyu reminded her. "Now let's go, before my hair turns gray." She illustrated this with a flip of her medium-length, pink hair. She put her hands on her hips when Nikki reached for her 3DS, still in Kyu's hand. "It's not going to kill you to get out of this apartment," she stated, tapping her bare foot on the laminate floor.
Rolling her eyes, Nikki stood up. "Fine, but if I get bored to death, I'm coming home, with or without you." She scoffed at Kyu's grin, going into her bedroom to change into something fresher. When she emerged, she was wearing a blue tank top, black shorts, and a black dress jacket, almost like a lighter version of a blazer. "Does this look okay?"
Kyu stared for a second before nodding. She smiled nervously. "Now let me do your hair."
When they were finally ready, Nikki's hair was up in a messy bun, allowing her bangs to hang around her eyes. Kyu was really impressed with how it turned out. As she pinned up a few stray strands of Nikki's hair, she murmured, "You're really pretty, y'know."
Nikki swallowed, blushing a tinge. "Thank you," she replied with a little smile. "Where are we going, anyway?"
"I was thinking Lusties."
Groaning, Nikki stood, making Kyu lose her progress on Nikki's hair. "You know I hate that place," she told the girl with pink hair. "Why are people always trying to drag me over there? What's so great about a night club?"
Shrugging, Kyu answered, "Drinks, dancing, hot chicks. It's fun."
"Not for me," Nikki retorted, sitting in her armchair. "Can't we just go somewhere? Just the two of us?"
Kyu's eyes widened at that, and she laughed. "Umm, sure. Of course. That sounds fun. What did you have in mind?" Her heart was pounding.
Nikki thought about it. "Maybe a movie? If there's nothing good playing, we can sit in on something that's total crap and just make fun of it the whole time."
Nodding, Kyu smiled. "I'd like that." She stood triumphantly. "Alright, let's do this shit."
They ended up picking some crappy, animated movie, and pigged out on snacks the whole time. Their comments ranged from, "This is total shit," to, "I bet it wouldn't be so bad if I were drunk right now." Of course they had to sit in the back so they didn't disturb anyone, but their giggling still turned a few heads.
After the movie, they headed to the beach. The moon looked gorgeous on the water. It reminded Kyu of Nikki's eyes, and she blushed. Not far from where they had decided to sit was a group of twenty-something's playing late night volleyball and having a party, blasting loud music. Kyu smiled and nudged her friend. "Why don't we go over there and join them?"
Nikki sighed, looking back out at the water. "That sounds like a terrible idea."
"Why?"
After being quiet for a long time, Nikki answered, "Because I don't like people."
Kyu sank a little, then stood. "Well, I'm going. You should come join me." With that, she left her younger friend alone. She felt bad, but the whole point of tonight was to get Nikki to be more social.
The crowd welcomed Kyu right away, offering her a drink. Nikki watched from a distance as Kyu went from drinking and talking to a few guys to dancing way too close to one of them. Obviously, she was getting drunk, and this worried Nikki. Her friend instincts kicked in, and without much thought, Nikki was trudging through the sand to the party. She made her way through the crowd to where Kyu was dancing with her back against a guy with long, dark hair. "Kyu, maybe we should go," she said in a raised tone, so she could be heard over the music.
The pink haired girl's response was to stick out her tongue and continue dancing. Nikki rolled her eyes, and one of the strangers handed her a beer. She groaned, squeezing through the crowd until she was over by the stereo, away from everyone. Nikki sipped her beer, a little annoyed at Kyu. For some reason, she couldn't stop watching her friend with that guy. He ran his hands along Kyu's sides, pulling up her dress a tad. Nikki tightened her grip on her drink.
Just as she was about to go back over there, a man with tan skin and black hair approached her. "Hey, do you need a refill?" Nikki could barely hear him over the pounding music. When she shook her head, showing him she still had half a beer left, he nodded, giving her a smile. "Hey, I'm Derek," he told her.
Usually, Nikki would have told him to get lost, but she was bored, and past experiences had taught her not to just dismiss someone right away. She adjusted her glasses, then said, "I'm Nikki."
Derek looked out at the crowd of dancing young people. "So what are you doing here? Seems like parties aren't your thing."
Nikki smiled at him. "Well, you've got me pegged. I'm just waiting on my friend, the one with the pink hair." She motioned to Kyu, who was dancing with a different guy now. She shook her head. "Someone's gotta look after her."
"You're a good friend," Derek mentioned. "I'm here with a friend, too, actually." He pointed to a girl with long, blond dredlocks. "I thought we were coming out here to surf."
Nikki laughed. "You know, I've actually always wanted to learn how to do that." Though she stayed inside most of her life, there were parts of Nikki that wanted to be adventurous and learn something fun, like surfing or skateboarding.
"Well hey, I've got my board if you want a quick lesson."
She looked up at him in surprise. "Oh, I don't know. I don't have a swimsuit or anything."
Derek shrugged. "Just wear what you've got on. Doesn't really matter as long as it doesn't get in the way. Just an idea, though. It'd be better than standing here for a few more hours."
'A few more hours?' Nikki thought in distress. He was right, though. Kyu didn't like to leave parties until they were over. She knew she had promised to leave Kyu behind, but she couldn't actually do that. Taking a deep breath, Nikki told him, "Alright, maybe it's the beer talking, but I'm up for it."
She took off her jacket, leaving it on the table that housed the stereos. Derek smiled at her, taking her hand so they wouldn't lose each other in the crowd. He had left his board standing at the edge of the surf, so it was apparent he had planned on doing some surfing before he left. "Don't be nervous," he told her, letting go of her hand. Nikki couldn't help smiling at him, nodding.
They walked into the water together, which was so warm and nice. Derek kept his board tucked under his arm at first, then laid it on the surface of the water. "Here, now climb on." Nikki was nervous, but he held the board steady, helping her on with his other hand. She noticed he had strong, vascular arms. It was pretty sexy. He showed her how to paddle herself out, and he swam beside her. When she got the hang of paddling, Derek held the board so she could stand on it.
"Now," he warned her, "this isn't a beginner board, so this won't be a proper lesson. But that's okay, 'cause we're just trying to have fun." Nikki nodded at him, obviously nervous. "Hey, you'll do fine," Derek reassured her with a smile.
As she stood there, trying to balance herself, Nikki asked him, "Why are you being so nice to me?" It was bugging her, but only a little.
With a shrug, he answered, "It gives me something to do. Now focus on putting all your weight in the center of the board."
They kept practicing until a good wave finally rolled in. After some reassuring words from Derek, Nikki paddled out to it, taking deep breaths. When she was right on the wave, she climbed onto her board. She was able to stand for a few seconds, a huge grin on her face, before the wave crashed and she fell into the water. Derek swam out to her, where she was giggling, clinging to the board.
Surfing turned out to be exhausting, so after a few more waves, Nikki was ready to go into shore. They walked onto the beach together, an arm slung around each other. Suddenly, Kyu hurried over to them, pushing Derek so hard that he almost fell down. "Get your hands off her!"
Nikki looked at Derek, who was surprised, then at Kyu, annoyed. "What the hell, Kyu? He was just teaching me how to surf."
Kyu still hadn't addressed Nikki yet. She pulled the blue haired girl to her side, pointing at Derek. "Stay away from her. She's mine." Holding Nikki's hand firmly in her own. she pulled her away, handing Nikki her black jacket in the process.
The blue haired girl tried to wrench her hand out of Kyu's vice grip. "Why are you so strong?" She dug her feet into the sand. "Stop, Kyu!"
Kyu turned to her quickly, pulling her into a kiss that started off fierce, but softened when she realized Nikki wasn't pulling away anymore. When they parted, Kyu's green eyes pierced Nikki. "Don't do anything like that ever again, you hear me?" Nikki was still, then slowly nodded. Kyu sighed. "Why do I always fall for nerds?" She gave Nikki another quick kiss, then took her hand and started walking again.
Back at her apartment, Nikki took a quick shower and changed into her pink pajamas. She walked back into the living room, where Kyu was laying on the couch, flipping through channels on the TV. "Do you want to tell me what all that was about?" Nikki asked, getting the pink haired girl's attention.
Kyu looked at her, then back at the TV. "I thought I made it pretty clear." When she still felt Nikki staring at her, she groaned, turning off the television and sitting up on the couch. "Look, I like you, and I don't want to share you with anyone else." She looked right in Nikki's eyes.
Cocking a brow, Nikki asked, "Then what was with you dancing all on that other guy?"
Kyu rolled her eyes. "That was to get your attention, obviously. It was supposed to make you jealous. Guess it didn't work."
Nikki blushed, wringing her hands and looking at the floor. It wasn't that it didn't work. "I just don't get why you'd like me. You're really hot."
The couch creaked as Kyu stood, walking over to her. She took both of Nikki's hands, making her blush. "You need to give yourself more credit," Kyu assured her. "You're smart, quirky, and super hot." Nikki scoffed, so Kyu illustrated her point by lifting Nikki's chin, planting a kiss on her lips. Then Kyu smiled, breaking the air of tension. "Looks like you're my girlfriend now. So, if you ever take spontanious surfing lessons from hot guys ever again, you'll be getting an earful from me." She cocked her head, smiling. "Maybe some hate sex, too."
"What!" Nikki's face burned bright red.
Kyu giggled, playing with Nikki's loose hair. "We'll get to that later."
A/N: Idk why, but I see them being a cute couple. Nikki hates people and Kyu loves people. Opposites attract.
