Shanzira and Lon'qu: C Support.
He's right there. Standing there, stretching, taking a rest after sparring. Sword sheathed, dangling above the cool grass, a light breeze messing with his dark hair. He's joined his hands behind his back; one over his head, the other having routed up from the downward path.
With his hands tied, he is a ripe mark.
I'm tip-toeing up behind him,, presently veeeeery grateful the sun is in my eyes. It means he won't see my shadow unless he looks behind himself, in which case, I get to practice my bullshitting skills again. Running would be a bad idea; he could chase me very eas... He wouldn't chase me at all, he'd run in the opposite direction. Right. Duh.
I'm almost there... almost there... He's lowered his arms for another stretch, and GOD DAMN IT HE TURNED AROUND.
"Woman! What are you doing here?" My god. The pitch of his voice. It goes so wonderfully high whenever anyone not in possession of the Y chromosome is nearby. I love him. Can I just marry him already so I can hear this fragment of beauty every day? Seriously, it's... Wonderful.
"Passing by," I answer coolly, hiding away my inner happiness. "Why do you ask?" I tilt my head sideways for an innocent look. Bitch, I am a great actress. Lon'qu will never know what hit him.
One of his eyes twitches as he realizes he has to endure this idiocy. "Urgh... Fine. Just..." Apparently his fear of women is so bad, it makes him fail at English. "Stay a good distance away from me." LON'QU CAN'T ENGLISH (sic) LON'QU CAN'T ENGLISH (sic)!
I smile and stand in such a posture as to make my chest look flat (which is... disappointingly hard.) "No problem!" Although the singsong tone of voice probably told him what's about to happen. TRYING FOR IT ANYWAYS.
He eyes my shiftily for a moment. What, you don't trust me? That hurts, Lon'qu. Right here. "Fine." With his approval, he turns away.
The coast is clear. Your shit is wrecked.
I tip-toe up to him and give him ONE BIG AND TIGHT HUG! I've gotten a shitload of hugging practice in my life, and now it all culminates in this one fantastic glomp! My arms have his pinned to his side, and I bury my face into his back, why does he smell good, he should be sweaty from practicing.
But I DON'T CARE! He's surprisingly fun to hug! Oh my gosh if everyone was this squeezeable, I would be content for my entire life. Seriously.
Oh, and there's an added perk: "AAHHHH!" ... He's screaming like a little girl who just found a spider in her bed.
"Oh my gods," I squeak happily, "you're so huggable!"
I can hear his desperate attempts to lower the pitch of his voice. "WOMAN, GET OFF OF ME!" They are not working.
I nuzzle his back again, marveling at how soft his shirt is. "Noooo! You're really really soft!" (That probably came out really muffled, though.)
"I BEG OF YOU! PLEASE!" ... He's begging me? Well now. I could use this later on.
With a disappointed sigh, I step back from him. "Fine."
Red as a strawberry, he shouts (his voice back to normal), "Don't EVER do that again!" And he storms away. It almost looked like he was running with his tail tucked between his legs... Hm... This is an event to remember for sure.
I smile as I curse my 'misfortune'. "Damn. Oh well, it was worth it. I wonder if I'll be able to sneak up on him once he drops his guard?" He probably will in about a week or so. Nobody has a memory that good.
Why did I not write this one before? It was begging to be written.
Still taking suggestions. By the way, Shanzira's female supports are Shio, Nineeyena, Sumia, and Cordelia, just so y'all know. Haven't worked out Shio's yet, but she can support with Nin as well.
