The sun was out, the sea was calm, and the fishes were wandering outside. It was a relatively normal day.
Amid the bustling of the town, a small yelp could be heard at the side, somewhere along the path that led to the Sea of Stars. Two young ladies sat at the side, one grinning widely while the other had her hand on her cheek, face flushed with a faint red. The seagull had a nonchalant smile on her face, pleased with the other's reaction as she leaned back on her arms— or wings, for that matter.
"Wh… Where did that come from?" The dolphin asked shyly, looking a little bit to the side as she continued to touch her cheek, still feeling the sensation on where Memoca had playfully given her a small kiss out of nowhere. The seagull in question just tilted her head to the side as she turned towards her, feigning confusion as she held her feathers up by her chin.
"Hm? Whaddya mean?" A grin crept up to her face, before she pouted and made kissing gestures. "That's normal between lovebirds, right?" She blinked. "Or in this case, lovebird and lovedolphin…? Anyway! You get what I mean!"
Memoca had a faint blush on her cheeks while Dolphi's deepened, the said dolphin pulling her knees up to her chest considering that she still really wasn't used to having their relationship casually being stated out like this. Not like it was a bad thing or that she felt embarrassed being with her mate out in public or anything— she really was just a generally shy person, and Memoca, fully knowing it would fluster her partner, purposely did so.
Burying her nose under the golden scarf around her neck, Dolphi sneaked a glance at the seagull, seeing her continuing to talk happily as if the little kiss never happened. She felt herself pout at the thought— Memoca rarely ever got flustered, and she would always take advantage of the fact that Dolphi was the more bashful of them two. She thought that was a little unfair, but she figured she couldn't complain since it was partially her fault, considering that she rarely— very— initiated any acts of affection.
She continued to watch Memoca, responding accordingly to her words from time to time as her attention was divided from the one-sided conversation and her trivial thoughts. Suddenly— it was just a moment, but Dolphi noticed an opening, and out of impulse— with those pointless thoughts plaguing her mind— she leaned close to Memoca's face.
Her plan was just to return the surprise peck on the cheek, but, apparently, she had moved too slow, and the seagull, in the middle of talking, noticed her leaning close, which led her to turn towards her in surprise.
Their lips met.
Dolphi was surprised, to say the least, pulling away almost immediately as the previously already red on her face turned ever redder, holding her hands up in panic while Memoca just had a dumbstruck look on her face before the colors on her cheeks deepened. Dolphi was stammering with her words, blush already spreading to her ears as her head was filled with thoughts of 'why did i do that.'
She covered her face with her scarf, knees pressed on her chest as she slightly curled up. "I-I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean to—"
She was cut off when a body collided her side, along with a happy call of her name— "Dolphhh!"— and looking up in surprise, she was greeted with Memoca's beaming face. While Dolphi was still slightly flustered, Memoca was also flushed red, although it could be because she was grinning too much. Either way, the close proximity of their faces made the dolphin a little too conscious, although she couldn't pull away because the other's wings were wrapped around her torso.
It obviously surprised her when Memoca kissed her back, on the lips, alarms ringing in her hand before the seagull pulled back, that same smile on her face. It didn't end there immediately, however, as Memoca proceeded to hold her face with her feathers to plant more kisses all over her face, and there was nothing Dolphi could do but blush all the way down to her neck and stammer incoherent words as she tightly held on to the other's clothes.
When Memoca finally stopped, she leaned back a little to marvel at the dolphin, and she could only amuse herself at her incredibly flustered face. Feeling her own face steam from the heat, Dolphi just pressed her temple against Memoca's neck, trying to hide her face as she felt quite embarrassed by what the seagull just did. Memoca could only laugh, draping her wings over her mate and pulling her close as Dolphi rested her forehead on the crook of her neck, tightly holding on to the other's clothes at the back. It would probably take some time for the red on her face to fade away.
The light sparkled from above, the sea was filled with stars, and there was only the two of them. It was another ordinary day.
