Lovely Summer Evening (Mari)

It was the best time of day for Emily, at least as far as recent events were concerned. It was that fleeting period after the sun had set where the stars were just about to find their way out into the sky. The stars at night were breathtaking, especially if you could sneak out for a little while after most of the lights had been shut off.

This wasn't what Emily was interested in at the moment though, even if she was fond the spectacle. No, despite her normally shy demeanor and timid mannerisms, she could exhibit some rather stalker-ish tendencies on occasion. Tonight she had sat herself behind a concrete planter near the edge of the roof, head lowered slightly as she waited.

before long a couple found their way out onto the roof, a high school boy leading a girl of about the same age out onto the roof. This was one of the best places to catch couples being all lovely dovey, with all the delicious infatuation in the air. It was a little different this time though, a mixture of sadness and regret found it's way into the air. Oh no...

The boy lead the girl to the center of the roof and then clasped her hands in his. "...I'm sorry... If... I'm afraid we have to stop this... If I keep seeing you you're going to end up hurt by my powers and..." The boys nerve ran out at that point, and he only hesitated for a moment before running back inside. The girl was left alone, clutching her hands and soon she began to sob quietly to herself.

Emily placed her hands on her cheeks, letting out a soft sigh and licking her lips as silent tears ran down her face. Why did heartbreak have to be so delectable?

With an "Eep!" and a jump Emily looked up at the girl in front of her. She had thought she had been sneaky, but apparently this wasn't the case since she'd been noticed so easily. She'd been distracted by the lovely taste of bitterness that had been emanating from the girl. Emily wasn't immune to compassion though, and her face flushed as she wipe tears away from her eyes.

"H-Hello..." She fidgeted a little in her seat behind the planter, averting her eyes from Izzy apart from the occasional glance up. Her tears weren't entirely dry yet, as she could still taste the girls sorrow, even if Izzy's emotions were starting to mask it.

Emily shot glances at Izzy in between looking away from the newcomer. She slowly brought herself up onto her feet and faced the other girl, still compressed into a small bundle of shy by tilting her head down and drawing her hands in to her chest. Wiping at the tears again, she sniffled a little bit, and then leaned forward and licked her lips.

"Cheer... and support?... friendship..." She muttered under her breath as she tasted through Izzy's emotional state. Before long she gave a small smile to the other girl, timidly reaching out her hand to shake hers. "I... I'm Emily... Y-you saw it too, huh?..." She sniffled again, but seemed to have relaxed more or less, not sensing any hostility from the new girl.

Emily licked her lips several times, pressing her hands against her cheeks for a moment once she had reclaimed them. She hadn't tasted happiness like this in a while. She blushed and curled up a little more when she realized how awkward she was being, fidgeting with her hands a little as she looked down at Izzy's feet.

"I-I-It's nice to m-meet you too..." Her eyes continued their darting ways as she forced herself to try and not be so shy. "Y-Yeah... it's always so sad to tast-... to w-watch the emotions leading up to it... I w-wish s-sorrow wasn't..." She wasn't doing a good job at this, and she knew it.

Izzy's next question got her even more flustered, her entire face changing color and her fidgets growing more frantic. "Eeehh?! Um... Wh-What br-brings me h-here?... Uh-um... I was just... w-w...watching......." She was so embarrassed, caught in the act. It wasn't her fault that love, romance and sorrow and stuff tasted so good!
