Slingshot walked in the cold breeze, sitting next to Vinestaff who was at the the bus stop. The two had just completed a shopping spree, buying them new clothes and all. Vinestaff looked over at the blue ranged phighter. Slingshot shivered slightly, her shirt short-sleeved and thin.
"...Dude it is NOT that cold." Vinestaff scoffed, holding shopping bags.
"Bitch you're wearing a whole ass puffy jacket!" Sling retorted, pointing out Vinestaff's pink fluffy jacket.
"Well, you got clothes for you too," Vinestaff began, rummaging through the clothes in the bag. "Here. Put this on." Sling was handed a blue fleece sweater. She slipped it on, cautiously tugging on the edges of the bottom to cover her body. Vinestaff sighed. "That bad, huh?"
"The sweater? Or..." Sling raised her eyebrow.
"Yeah, you. Quit worrying about your body so much, Sling." Vine smiled.
"Bitch–do not play this game with me." Sling grimaced, more afraid than trying to be intentionally rude.
"I'm serious." Vinestaff raised an eyebrow. "Why'd you get so... angry?"
"...Don't worry about it." Slingshot replied, reminiscing on bad old childhood memories. God, politically and religiously stupid parents with a closeted trans kid, how could that go south?
"Whatever..." Vine muttered. "So... how are things going with Skate?" She asked playfully.
"Good, I guess." Sling crossed her arms. Vinestaff raised her brow.
"What're you, falling out already?" Vine asked bluntly. Slingshot shoved the rose pink inphernal, earning a giggle from her.
"No, I'm just worried we *will*..." Sling admitted. "I mean—Look at me..." She grumbled.
"You started your transition like two months ago." Vinestaff sighed. "Estrogen ain't gonna mold you into your dream self in a few days, dear. Besides, if Skate flakes on you or cheats, fuck that bitch! Her fault for not being loyal in the first place, right?"
"Yeah, but then *I'm* the loser for getting cheated on..." Slingshot groaned.
"No. *She's* the loser. Cheating's for whores who think they can just ruin a healthy couple with a bend and snap." Vinestaff wrapped an arm around Sling, letting her unrelated sister rest her head on her shoulder.
"Skate's *nothing* like that...." Slingshot snickered. Vinestaff gave her the 'Exactly!' look. "You think we're losers for thinking this way?" Sling asked.
"Yeah, loyalty and common sense. Very loser-like..." Vinestaff snickered, Slingshot giggling a bit too. Though she was still like 50/50 on this whole thing, she felt kinda better. "Hey, she ever fucks with you I will teamkill her ass, got it?" Vinestaff retorted. Sling nodded. "I got your back, lil sis."
"...Vine I am NOT calling you big sis." Slingshot snorted. Vine rolled her eyes playfully. "...I got your back too." The two pulled away from the resting position.
"Oh, I think that's Shuri! I call shotgun." Vine said. The two got up and headed over to the car who pulled up. Shuri was inside, blasting hyperpop music with the windows down. "Hey!" Vinestaff greeted her brother who greeted the two back.
"How're you guys doin'?" Shuriken grinned. "Ooh, get anything for me?" He asked.
"Aha! No!" Vine chuckled. Shuri rolled his eyes. The two started to bicker about some other stuff. Slingshot hopped in the car to see Skateboard in as well.
"Oh, shit!" Skateboard smirked. Sling got in, and greeted her girlfriend.
"H-Hi." Slingshot stammered.
"Weren't expectin' me now, were ya?" The skater giggled.
"No, not at all!" Slingshot replied.
"Jeez, you're a nervous wreck, Sling!" Skateboard teased.
"I'm working on it." Sling grumbled, crossing her arms.
"I'll treat you to some fun when we get home, 'kay?" Skateboard offered, inching closer to her girlfriend. Slingshot's face flushed, she twirled her shoulder length straight grey hair around her finger. (i feel like that was way too many adjectives :sob:)
"O-..Okay." Slingshot averted her gaze bashfully. "I love you..."
"Well, I love you too, my pretty girl." Skateboard giggled. The skater leaned in and kissed the restaurant owner on the lips. The two continued to flirt, caught in the moment.
"Ahem!" Shuri fake-coughed. "You guys better not make out in my car." He snickered. Slingshot froze up while Skateboard chuckled.
"Yeah, honestly..." Vinestaff broke a few laughs too.
"Right... Sorry." Slingshot stammered.
