Susie: oh I should probably go buy uhhm flowers for Noelle and stuff
kris (snarking): what’s with you and visiting my parents?
Susie (chewing on their hair): what’s with hometown being SO DAMN SMALL
Kris: at least you aren’t buying some from her mother—
Susie: what’s with her mother?
Kris (reminiscing): she’s .. cold
very snappy responses. you’d think she’s mad at you all the time… until she writes you a FORMAL LETTER on Christmas telling you youre a great kid… that’s basically what it was like growing up here
Susie: damn, how much holiday-dreemurr lore did I miss out on??? No wonder noelle is scared to stand up to her —
(shoves at kris) she’s gonna GET IT if she ever makes her cry!!!!
kris: likewise to you I bet.
Susie: SHE KNOWS WE’RE DATING???
Kris: youre going to be walking around with flowers.
Susie: okay well WHAT IF she thinks they’re for you
Kris: I wouldn’t mind
Susie: do YOU want flowers too, man?
Kris: no answer. Not applicable. unresponsive.
Susie: what
(Kris kisses her)
Susie: …so that’s a yes
Kris (smiling)
Susie: youuu weirdo…(affectionate)
I’m gonna write an un-formal letter to you about how awesome you are in JULY. Take THAT Noelle’s mom.
Kris: a rare, Susie sentimental moment…?
Susie: am I supposed to NEVER BE SENTIMENTAL!!!???
Oh hey! The flower shop!!
(asgore shenanigans later)
Susie walking out with 2 bouquets of flowers: did I just get this for free… because he’s your dad
Kris: It’s because I could’ve told my mother about priceyness. Just wait till you see her face when she’s pissed off at him.
Susie: parents, huh.
…
ANYWAY… Pink or yellow flowers for noelle?
Kris: pink flowers would remind her of you.
Susie: damn, that’s true. (unnoticeable tail wagging) That leaves you with yellow flowers then.
Kris (staring blankly at the flowers):
Susie: c’mon, you can have them. What’s the holdup?
Kris: I want to wear them.
Susie: dude, go for it. You’d look amazing.
Kris: no,
(takes her arm)
You.
(drags her arm to their hair)
Susie: put flowers in your hair? Alright. Let’s go, uhm, sit down or something. To make it easier.
(kris comes with her, blushing)
Susie: (squinting) I feel like I’m gonna tear apart these flowers with these lizard hands. My fault if it looks shitty, alright?
Kris (nods)
(Some time later)
Susie: so… you wanna go to the lake to check your reflection? Or something?
Kris: (nods even more)
Susie: man, you know you can talk, right?
Kris: nodding does the job.
Susie: (nods aggressively in response)
— okay, there’s the lake now. See for yourself.
(Kris looks into their reflection)
(Kris starts tearing up).
(Kris starts sniffling a bit).
Susie: Kris? … You alright?
(Kris turns to hug her tightly. Flowers fall off from their hair from the quickness of the movement, but hell if they care)
Susie: huh… youre smiling.
Hey, no need to thank me. You asked for it.
Kris (wiping tears):
we .. can go visit noelle, now.
Susie: HELL YEAH!! so she can check out your new fit!!!!
Kris: (thumbs up)
Susie: (grabs their hand) try to not have the flowers fall off, I can’t freaking wait anymore
(They run over to Noelle’s place)
(She’s not outside).
Susie: Wow, Kris. I didn’t even realize how nervous I’d feel until now.
This is like, well, the first time her mom’s gonna see me with her. Geez.
Kris: youre gonna be alright. Youre Rudy-approved. And Kris-approved.
(Moves bangs a bit to reveal their eyes more)
Good luck. (They smile softly).
Kris goes to go ring the bell.
Five times over.
Because then you know it’s Kris.
Susie: weird ass customs you guys got. (Affectionate)
Noelle: Hiii, Kris! Oh— oh my gosh.
Kris: she brought you flowers.
Noelle (turning red): SUSIE - GOT ME - FLOWERS??
Susie: and I got Kris some flowers. In their hair.
Noelle (blinking twice): Kris??? That’s so cute??????
Kris: (nods)
Noelle: you did this for the both of us??? (burying face in hands) …suuuusiieeeeeeee
Gosh. You didn’t have to!!!
(Susie kisses her on the forehead)
I, uh… just felt like it. (Scratches her hair)
Noelle: (taking the flowers) I will literally never regret dating you - even through 88789 timelines.
Susie: is that. How many times you’ve played dragon blazers
(Kris nods)
Noelle: NOO!! THATS AN EXAGGERATION!!
(looks to Kris)
Kris: (shaking their head)
Noelle: okay. maybe I’m a liiittle bit insane. But (turns back to Susie) guess who’s more insane for getting all these flowers???!!??
Susie: HEY. WELL.. I got them for free.
Noelle: (looks at Kris again) …your dad is a weenie.
(Kris giggles)
The door opens loudly.
Carol: What’s with this commotion?
Noelle: AH — my mom’s here. She takes her day off on Sundays…
Susie: (don’t worry, Kris told me B)
Kris: (double thumbs up) (then goes to eat moss at the corner of Noelle’s house)
Noelle: well, mom… this… this. This…
breathes in
This is my girlfriend, Susie!!!
Susie: …..yo! (Sweating immensely and shoving her sweaty hands in her pockets)
Carol: Oh. Susie, is it.
(looks at noelle sharply)
I will have a talk with her.
(She ushers Susie away from Kris and noelle)
Kris: what’s she gonna say, “dont bite her face off or As the mayor, I’ll kick you out of town???”
Noelle: FAHAHA!! Yeah right!! She’s probably gonna lecture her over stupid things like, making eye contact or something…
Kris: honestly.
(They continue eating moss)
Noelle: also, kris… is it okay if I touch your hair?
Kris: (nods)
Noelle (softly caressing their hair): dess liked to make me look pretty too…
Right after I told her about how I wanted to be a girl.
And she’d caress my hair like this… and tell me, I’m so so beautiful…
Kris: …am I?
Noelle: youre so, so beautiful.
and handsome. and everything in between.
Kris: …while eating moss
Noelle: while eating moss. Yep.
(Kris stares at her)
Noelle: Hey!!! I just complimented you!!! youre creeping me out!!!
Kris: what happened to so, so beautiful?
Noelle: KRISSSSS!!!!
Kris: I just really like looking at you.
Noelle: Kris……
Kris: and counting how many stray hair strands you have.
Noelle: WHEN I GET YOU.
Susie: Hey, guys! I’m back!
Noelle: did she try to kill you with her eyes
Susie: HUH???
Carol: She’s fine. Go enjoy your youth.
Noelle: Oh my gosh.
(She’s so full of happiness she kisses Susie) Thank you, mom!!
Carol: (already leaving) mhm.
Noelle: So… should we.. go hangout somewhere?
Susie (thinking about how much she had to walk all day): I’m SPENT. Can we just like, hang at your house instead - now that she’s cool with me?
Noelle (whispering to Kris): a sleepover.. with Susie!!!
Kris (who forced a sleepover with Susie): it’s awesome.
Noelle: how the heck do you know!???
(Anyway so they went to her room and then played dragon blazers for 6 hours and then kissed and cuddled until they fell asleep) (the cutie patooties)
(Kris..? Kris was playing the piano).
(It sounded sweeter than their usual songs).
(I think they liked today).
