I saw beautyandharmoney's (Fourth of July) Tumblr post, and instantly thought of a little vignette for the occasion! Thanks! It gets kind of cheesy at the end, but oh well.


His palms grew clammy, heart pulsing, as his dry throat made it hard to swallow, all while fixing the wrinkles of his navy colored striped yukata. He was informed that he didn't necessarily needed to wear one, but since it was a special occasion, he decided in favor of it. The section of the park he chose to wait was empty and quiet, as the sun was finally setting. Leonardo nervously waited for Karai on top of the hill, among the cherry blossoms, light pink pedals falling against the cool breeze. He twisted the end of the plastic bag that held four warm jelly filled mooncakes, as he continued to wait for her. After a few minutes, Leo spotted her when she called his name aloud.

Karai wore her floral printed yukata with a thick red wrap around her waist, and a small golden colored flower on her hair. Leo could not stop staring at her when she walked over to him; so breathtakingly beautiful, he thought. She tried hard to not giggle at his obvious nervousness, making it a bit difficult to walk with her pair of geta on. The fireworks were about to begin, so she eagerly sprinted towards him. He instinctively caught her once she ran into his arms, fingers running up her back, leaving goosebumps on her skin. Glancing up at him, she smiled, a tint blush on both their faces. Leo brought her over to the thin blanket that was already set out for them. Handing her the bag of treats, they sat down and patiently waited for the main attraction to begin.

They munched on their mooncakes, staring at the view, in silence. On occasion, his deep blue eyes would flicker over to her, though only to notice her golden stare locked at the sky, waiting for the fireworks, a favorite event of the year for her. Snatching another desert, she held the treat out in front of him at arm's length. He closed his eyes and leaned forward to take a huge bite, but Karai gently pushed his face away with her other hand as she pulled the cake away. Leo pursed his lips, playfully glaring at her. Before he could say anything, the thundering began, making them jolt and look up at the colorful sky. After observing the sparkling fireworks, Leonardo peered over at her, noticing the angelic expression as she oohed at the lights. Sensing that she was being watched, Karai turned and caught his eye, quickly forcing him to glance down.

Noticing that no one was close by, she crawled towards him. Resting between his legs, her hands trailed over the cotton fabric, feeling the hard plastron underneath, until reaching his shoulders. Her lips placed tender pecks across his cheek and against the side of his neck, causing him to shiver and situate his overlarge hands on the curve of her waist. His fingertips lowered to caress her flared hips, grasping the material when she nipped the skin beneath his jaw. The excitement grew within him as her flustered kisses increased into wanting desire. The fireworks didn't surprise them any longer, they only covered the moans he released when she pushed him to lie on the grass. Straddling him, Karai leaned back to stare at his cloudy gaze, appreciating his submissiveness. Lifting his knees, she squeaked as she slid closer to him, catching herself by placing her hands on his arms. Leonardo smiled and grabbed the side of her face, slowly bringing her lower, until their lips met. The final display of fireworks were released, showcasing several red hearts across the sky while the two lovers remained within each other's embrace, celebrating their first official date.
