Always remember to smile!

Running her fingertips over her lips Alice found herself lost and confused in her own thoughts at everything that just happens with Holly. Never in her wildest dream did she think such a situation would happen to her when coming. Sure, maybe somewhere down the line she thought she might meet someone if she allowed herself the time for such things. Never did she think so soon and with a girl even. Alice was not even into other girls… or was she?
Thinking back, it was not like it was something she never thought about from time to time. With so few others her own age it was not like there was a lot of fish to pick from her little pond back home. Now that she was out and into the bigger world maybe she should question it a bit more. It was not like she hated the kiss, okay the peck on the lips, but still! Holly was cute and funny, a bit childish maybe, but after what she been through you could give her a pass.
However, once again Alice was thrown off by another one of Holly odd and seemly random action as she began to rhyme?! In truth, the Faunus was at a comply loss of words at this or why she was even doing it. Was it some old rhyme she knows of or something? She would have said it was even cute if it was not for the way she sings it. Or hop around her. Or held herself like some child. Ok, it was weird. Even Alice could not disagree with it with her own oddness.
As Holly launched into her exploration of what a kiss was and went into her little rant it became very, VERY clear to Alice that something needed to be said here. It seemed some very mixed signals had been sent here. Alice knew she was to blame as she had gotten wrapped up in their talk and hugged her out of the blue like that. Or at the very least there been nothing here between them to bring up the big L-word.
“Holly! Holly!” Alice began trying to get the smaller girl's attention before lightly karate chopping her forehead. “Oi! Calm down there a bit, kay?” Pulling her hand back and crossing her arms over her chest, her ears poking up high on her head. “While I’m happy to hear you feel that way about me don’t you think it a bit much? At least for jumping into each bed?” Completely misunderstanding Holly's suggestion of cuddling and pillow talk. A slight pink tent never leaving her cheeks as she spoke.
“I’m more than happy to get to know you and well….” Pausing to scratch her chin picking her words carefully. “And well who knows what might happen after that with time.” This time not flashing a smile or anything but giving Holly a real genuine one. “Rushing into these things is how people get hurt and I don’t want that. For either of us.” And she really did not want the pain and awkwardness this could very easily turn into for them. Sure, they hit it off great as friends, but who to say they might be the worst for each other as lovers?
A very real concern Alice felt while looking deep into those magenta eyes. While she was not the best at reading people, she knew pain and maybe even a bit of desperation, or was it craze? She prays it was not the later. She did not want to hurt Holly feeling still she would not betray her own thoughts and feel for another. Even if they were this cute. Damn, why did she have to be a redhead? Alice thought before letting out a heavy sigh as her whole body relaxed at last.
With a hand on her hips, Alice once more grins at the girl. “So, skipping the first part I be more than happy to sit and talk with you. Or eat lots of yummy food. Or both! But really Holly does not think you need to bribe or something to hang around. Just be you, kay? Let me see the real Holly Hock.” She said at last before slowly walking back over to the table and taking a seat. After all…. Holly was blocking the only door to the room and truth be told Alice found Holly to be remarkably interesting. If that was good thing or a bad thing was yet to be known.

The pink maniac fully expected her elaborate mating ritual/confinement protocol to have its desired effect on Alice. How could it have failed? It had a song and everything! So, when Alice came closer and those slightly crazy eyes looked at Alice’s face, Holly mind was already convinced that she had this cat…wolf… in the bag! She closed her eyes and started to pucker her lips already slightly to accept all further smooches that awaited her. She even called out her name like an excited lover would! [break] [break] But there came no smooches.[break] [break] There came ouches.[break] [break] Holly did not expect that dangerous martial-arts move to hit her on the forehead, and the botanist flinched for a moment as she gave an audible yelp. It did not hurt. Holly was not even sure if it would have hurt without her aura, so she was more surprised then anything else. Holly opened those large magenta eyes to look at her attacker/potential love interest to find eternal happiness with.[break] [break] She had such a cute blush.[break] [break] Oh, wait! She was saying words! Better listen![break] [break] Holly, being the attentive but overexcited listener only heard the things that she wanted to hear at first and cancelling out certain aspects that her heart did not want to hear at this moment. She looked like an attentive puppy. Very happy to be with Alice at this moment but she did not seem to want to understand anything too complicated.[break] [break] You are happy? That is nice! I am happy too![break] [break] Jumping into bed? Sounds good! I need to clean mine though![break] [break] Getting to know each other? Sounds even better! I want to know all about you people![break] [break] Everything seemed positive at first! A perfect match! 10/10 relationship! Would recommend![break] [break] And then that sweet little face of Alice stopped smiling. Holly was a bit curious as to what came next. Does she already want to discuss the intricacies of how to pay for a mortgage on a house? They could get by! There are options! Do not fret my little pup! I am very financially responsible! The concerning that Alice brought forth was not about such concerns in the far future of their wonderful relationship though.[break] [break] Rushing…rushing into things?[break] [break] Getting…getting hurt…[break] [break] …[break] [break] Holly seemed to process the words in real-time, as her once hopeful expression seemed to slowly morph into a contemplative one. Her mind going in maximum overdrive behind the scenes. Picturing every real and shitty things that have happened in her…I guess you can call her tragedy a love-life of sorts. How she was hurt. How she hurt others. The short conclusion of all of that contemplation was quite simple. [break] [break] Alice had cold feet about dating a human![break] [break] It made perfect sense![break] [break] You do not want to be known as that one girl from the family of pups who went of to date a human just to know how it feels like! How would family gatherings work? You bring the one person with you who does not have an ear or a tail or whatnot! That would be super awkward! They would all be eating meat and stuff and Holly is not really into all of that kind of food anyway. She liked vegetables and fruit more! Of course, a Faunus would not want to rush into such a large decision out of the blue! Holly herself should have thought longer and harder about dating a Faunus herself! Dating a Faunus would mean that she would have to experience systemic oppression inherited within the system! People on her scroll said as much! Humans and Faunus do not mix. Holly tried, acted sweet, but it does not work out! [break] [break] Not even a Faunus wants me…[break] [break] Figures…[break] [break] So, Holly’s demeanour actually seemed to improve from her own racism. That look of trying to comprehend the Faunus’ words faded and Holly seemed to be weirdly in a state of bliss again. Not as extreme as before, though she still had about 10% crazy vibe in her looks. Her eyes were still staring a bit too intense, and her demeanour was still a bit chaotic. With some excitement in her voice she responded to the Faunus before she made the sassy hand-on-hip move. [break] [break] “I understand! I am sorry, I come on a little strong sometimes. I guess I should have thought harder about if I wanted your kind of problems in my life! I already have a lot to deal with!”[break] [break] Holly was happy to let bigotry be bygones, and when the Faunus proposed treats and fun to be shared Holly was already thinking about what kind of yummy fruits she wanted to share with her new Faunus pal. Still, she stopped in her track when the Faunus asked about the real Holly.[break] [break] Standing about 5 feet away from Holly, the pinkette questioned the words in her head.[break] [break] The ‘real’ Holly?[break] [break] But…this is the real me…[break] [break] …or…[break] [break]
Far more intensely than with the prior rejection, the colour that was on Holly’s face drained away quite splendidly. She… The Faunus wanted to see the real Holly? Not pretend Holly? Not fun time no troubles Holly? Was this just an empty request, or was The Faunus more perceptive than Holly gave her credit for? She knew about Rochdale. She knew…she could piece threads together enough, couldn’t she? Being far more careful than she had been at any point within this conversation, Holly paused and thought for a moment. She seemed calm. Her eyes darted towards The Faunus. Maybe for the first time, her voice sounded collected too. “What do you mean with ‘the real’ Holly Hock?”[break] [break] Holly turned on her heel towards The Faunus. She continued.[break] [break] “Am I not fun enough? Am I too fun? Was it the kiss? It was the kiss, right?”[break] [break] The girl walked over towards the Faunus, looking at the taller girl with cool eyes as she does not even bother with trying to sit down. [break] [break] “I don’t understand most people, I think. People are hard. I am not that hard. I want to be kind and loving to people but they either think I am weird or leave my life forever. In my daily life, I just want everyone to stop hating each other, give everyone a big old hug and share food. Most people make it very hard to be kind to them and I am quite miserable. A few of my friends are great, and a few strangers too, but most people are horrible. On my quest to complete these three tasks I have been met with heartache, trauma, random acts of senseless violence and so many dead people. You are kind to me. It is why I wanted to be extra kind to you. I hope that I have brought you at least some happiness before your life becomes a tragedy in this place. You will see people die, maybe your friends, or maybe complete strangers. You yourself can die too; a prospect that has honestly made me fearful to ever accept a mission. So, I will just make food, share food, try to make the life better of people who will most likely not live for another decade, go to a fun tournament soon in which I can partake in glorified violence, and try to not die. [break] [break]
That is the real Holly, I think. Is that enough for you?”
