[ It seems as though their first kiss beyond body-swapping and possessiveness is done with a tearful face. For hers, she was the one crying over the thought of losing him, while also being happy and relieved he was alive.
Perhaps their next time will be without them. She will also help him learn how to smile again.
Her face tilts up to meet his in the kiss, eyes fluttering closed before they even touch. With her hands now free, they drift to curl into his clothing. Orchid won't be the one to pull away first, like so many other times before. ]
[ "Do you not want to bear this venerable one's children?"]
[ What the fuck.]
[ Dojima had just been walking the halls of the ship, minding his own business, Iron Bundle following him cheerfully while flapping those robo flippers of his, Ichigo the Strabby riding his shoulder when he stopped short just to the side of the room that belonged to Miss Orchid, Dongfang's... girlfriend? Fiancée? Lover? Betrothed? Willing Kidnap victim? Puppy dog crush? He wasn't sure and he wasn't sure either of them knew--]
[ Only to hear that come out of Dongfang's goddamn mouth like it wasn't one of the more presumptous questions a man could ask. ]
[ So of course hearing that, he was going to listen in and just make sure the young woman was okay. Hopefully this was just Dongfang being that weirdly naive dumbass he could be at times, and not anything... else. ]
[ He'd press his back against the wall beside the door frame, grabbing hold of Iron Bundle to make sure it didn't go any further to blow his cover, holding it to his front, hand on it's beak so it wouldn't squawk while he listened in. ]
That was... a hell of an awkward love confession, but. Also oddly... sweet? ]
[ --Seven Emotion Tree...? Growing?
...Huh. Was the reason Dongfang was that way he when they first met due to something magical... literally stunting his emotional growth? And being with her was helping it start growing again? ]
[ ...Literally something out of a fairytale.
Well. Seems like she was fine, so he really should just butt out and let them enjoy-- ]
[ And that's when he realised Iron Bundle was slipping out of his grasp with a squawk, heading right into that open room to investigate. Dojima tried to pull the Pokemon back, swearing under his breath, but his hands slipped on that chrome like skin, he lost his balance--
So the two love birds would get a third bird for their troubles, chirping a digital sounding greeting at them with a wave of it's flipper, before ski-waddling to look around at all the plants around the room, maybe to see if one of them was edible--
Annnd for a bonus, a detective fall flat on his face, just in the doorway of the room. ]
[ It seems to never fail. Every time they have a moment together where they're having a serious conversation, something or someone interrupts them. The very first kiss they shared that wasn't either to swap bodies or his possessive nature was also intruded upon by one dragon. Why is this a thing that happens to them?
Orchid is the first to pull away with a squeak of surprise, bringing her hands up to hide her very red face from the view of everyone. Even her new fiancée. At least this time, she doesn't completely pull out of his arms and mumble to herself in her embarrassment at being caught.
[He had been so focused on Orchid this whole time he hadn't paid attention to where anyone else on the crew was - or how close they may be. So when there is the sound of an 'oh, shit--' from behind him, followed by Orchid letting out a distressed squeak and pulling out of the kiss----
...it takes Daqiang a couple moments to figure out what just happened and what just went wrong. He blinks down at Orchid (still in his arms), then at Iron Bundle (happily sniffing at some flowers and opening it's mouth to take a bite of one), and then turns just far enough to look at Dojima in the doorway (on the floor).
He takes a deep breath.
When it settles, there is a very frustrated glare being directed first at Dojima, then at the Iron Bundle (now chomping happily on a flower).]
You-!
[He doesn't want want to let go of Orchid, but he's going to have to, to stop the pokemon from (further) destroying Orchid's flowers.]
Ryotaro Dojima! Get Turo's pet out of here!
[His arms looped around Orchid in a more protective manner and brushed some of the lingering tears away from his face. So that Dojima wouldn't catch him crying on top of catching them kissing.]
[ Oof. That was going to smart later. Felt like he hit that part of his ribs that still were... tender from the car crash.
He heard the young woman squeak in shock--
Annnnd there was the Captain, right on cue. ]
--Yessir.
[ They'd hear a pained groan as he pulled himself up, but-- no complaints or excuse, already moving into the room-- ]
--Damnit, Bundle. C'mon, that's not yours to eat--
[ He'd reach under the Pokemon's little robo-flippers, getting a good grip before hefting it up, though not without another beeping cry from the robo-bird, it's digital eyes making a >o< face in protest--
Annnd then even when he pulled it back, it's head popped off like a long spring, still connected to the main body with a long tub, taking ONE more bite at that flower-- ]
[ It's the pained groan that has Orchid forgetting about her own embarrassment and leaning to peer around Daqiang at the source. ]
Are you all right? Did you hurt yourself falling?
[ Her face is still a little pink, but that might be expected after being caught kissing Daqaing with the door so wide open. She won't think about just how much he might have heard.
When Dojima comes in to remove the creature that is eating her plant... ]
They can have it! I can always grow more.
[ The more precious plants aren't kept in her room, these are from seeds that she bought at a shop. They are simply to brighten up her room, and Bundle is clearly hungry for those specific flowers. Maybe she should buy more just for the creature.
There's a gasp when Bundle's head pops off - because that is usually not a good thing at all with most species! And yet, the creature is still eating away at her flower. ]
[An even dirtier glare was shot at Dojima over the top of Orchid's head when she turned in his arms to ask after Dojima's health. He should have been out the door already and not giving Orchid time to worry over him!
This was- There were too many people in Orchid's room. If he still had the power to snap his fingers and make both Dojima and Iron Bundle appear over the ocean waves outside the ship, he would have done it just then.
Shuffling Orchid to one side so he was firmly between her and Dojima, Daqiang reached out and picked up the pot the flower Iron Bundle had decided belonged to it. He held it up while that springy head continued to munch on the plant. Then shoved it towards Dojima to take with him.]
[ He was going to try and tell her to keep the plants, didn't need to give the damn Pokemon what it wanted just because-- especially when it misbehaved-- ]
[ Buuuut he caught that glare from the Captain, and if looks could kill-- or maybe just turn him to stone, he'd definitely be a statue by now--
And only just managed to grab the pot, hefting Iron Bundle to one side in order not to drop that too--! ]
Right, sorry--
[ Give him a sec to juggle all this, but he is trying to walk backwards out of the room. Though... really, Dongfang was the possessive type, huh? The Captain really shouldn't worry about him of all people. Orchid was-- or appeared to him, anyway-- way too young for him, let alone the fact that he was ...well... with Turo, but it wasn't like the Captain knew that, anyway. ]
I'll get out of your hair. Pardon the intrusion--
[ All while Bundle, now shoved under Dojima's arm, happily snacked on the gifted flowers. So tasty! It'll definitely need to come back...! ]
[ She looks up at Daqiang and reaches up to place both palms on his cheeks. Using it to get his attention. ]
Daqiang, it sounds like Dojima is hurt. Let's help him.
[ "I'll be fine" is not the same "I am fine". Orchid will try to squirm free of her fiancée's arm to try to go help Dojima juggle the plant and the odd creature.
Then they can close the door and continue the conversation if they want. Though... the mood might be ruined. ]
