Stuck Inside (open)

[tickley]

Drew flinched a bit when the petite girl flung herself towards him and wrapped her arms around his neck. He quickly gathered her up into his arms happily. Of course, since he knew now that she liked it, he spun her once again. This time it lasted longer than a minute and turned out to go for about three. He set the girl down and was instantly on his behind on the ground. Odd, he didn't think Rinka had a twin... Wait a minute.

He shook his head and realized he was just really dizzy, of course. He smiled lightly at her, then looking around again. Ah! He quickly snatched up the small tiara and set to quick work. In no time was the little tiara reformed and with a few other additions was made into a more so legitimate one. It was bigger, about the size if his palm. It was a pretty pattern of vine swirls to the top. Where the fake jewel had been formed into an actual piece of a firey red glowing color.

He made sure Rinka wasn't dizzy and stumbling before he got up. He shuffled over to her a placed the regal tiara upon her head. "Pretty cute..." He said aloud as he avoided eye contact with a deeper blush reddening his face. He smiled happily, because now that he had a friend, his life would be better.

Feeling Drew flinch under whatever weight she held, Rinka remembered how withdrawn and unsocial he was and almost let go. Almost. Right after he flinched the boy quickly pulled her up into his arms once more. The room started to move around faster and faster for hours on end as Rinka held herself as closely as she could to the boy to avoid slipping and being tossed into the air like a rag-doll. Which... actually had happened before. The flying through the air part had been tons of fun, but the landing on the ground practically ten feet away? Not so fun. Her tooshy hurt for the rest of the day after that had happened.

After who knows how long Rinka was at her limit where she knew she couldn't get anymore dizzy and squealed in delight like with her dad for Drew to set her back down even though he already seemed to be stopping as she asked. Just when they both stopped and were on the ground, however, they fell down opposite from each other, Drew going one way and Rinka the other. Both landed on their butts, but Rinka couldn't stay in an upright position at first and leaned back to stare at the ceiling that was still spinning. She loved the light-headed feeling after a really good spin.

Recovering enough to at least sit up, she did so to look for the boy that was so much fun. He wasn't very far away, apparently they'd both simply collapsed where they were. Things were still trying to spin a little, but she had enough wits to watch the shaky image of Drew take back the tiara. Rinka let out a little squeak in protest, but otherwise let him take the thing. He had been the one to put it on her after all, he could take it off just as easily. Waving her hands up and down in an ineffective attempt to stop Drew from melting the beautiful tiara, her silent objection quickly subsided as he proved his crafting skills.

Intricate swirls laced through the new object, it'd grown larger as well, about to the full size of his palm, even the jewel was different. The cheap shiny plastic now glittered with an inner fire that lit their little space under the dim lights. "Oh my!" She whispered as if just her voice could break such a fragile looking piece of jewelry. With the newly designed piece on her head, Rinka itched to look in a mirror to see if the reflection would indeed be 'pretty cute' as Drew claimed it was. Remembering to remember the lad was even shier than she was, Rinka only hugged him for a second before letting go and smiling up at his cherry face. "Thank you! You're pretty cute too." She didn't mean it in any kind of flirtatious way, she just thought his blushing was adorable. "Also thank you for making me feel better. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't shown up." Actually she probably would have just sat and cried till school was supposedly over.

[tickley]

Drew just couldn't resist at this point anymore. He leaned forward and wrapped her in his arms, pressing his cheek onto her small head where the tiara wasn't in the way. He smiled happily and a small and more so unmanly squeak sounded from him. He didn't care though, because he in truth absolutely adored hugging and cuddling small things. Rinka was small to him, and overall cute in the sense of a little kitty cat.

"Warm~" He said as if he was in a deep trance. He eventually snapped out of it when he realized that he was still embracing her. He let go and backed up a bit with a hard blush and a sweet smile. He rubbed the back of his head lightly in slight embarrassment. "Sorry, you just look so sweet and cuddly..." Yup. He said a full sentence.

[rinka]

A bear~ Rinka concluded at last. 'he's just a big shy poor bear.' This probably would have been a eureka moment earlier for most people, but she was a little dense... Juuuuust a little. The thought finally struck her when he all of a sudden wrapped her up in a second hug. It would have been shocking to her if it were any other person, but for it to be him Rinka saw it as a major compliment to be hugged. Had he not been so shy at first she'd have freaked out and pushed him away, most likely adding paralysis by accident since her fear and anger seemed to activate it as some kind of self-defense mechanism. That, or it just showed how little control she had over her powers.. it was probably that one..

She could only nod to his comment about her being warm. Anything she might have wanted to say would probably have been muffled in the fierce hug Drew kept her in. He sounded in a whole 'nother world when he spoke so Rinka tried not to squirm in his embrace, knowing he probably didn't realize he was still squishing her. After a while though she couldn't help but fidget until she was released.

It wasn't that she didn't want to be hugged! She didn't mind that at all, it was just that she didn't know Drew all that well and wasn't that comfortable with being held captive so long by him. Though she wasn't sure why she was blushing back at him, Rinka tried to offer a comforting grin. "I don't mind, I'm glad you think I'm cuddly instead of scary!" A picture of him cower against the wall at the mere sight of her popped into Rinka's head, it felt like ages ago since that encounter. "So would you like to maybe go up there and play until it's time for school to be over?" She pointed to the stage area which most likely held trunks of costumes and different props that would be fun to set up and act with.

[tickley]

Drew smiled when she said he didn't have to be sorry, which made him less nervous. He nodded eagerly when she asked if he wanted to play up on the stage. It would be fun to dress up and make funny scenes happen. "School? It's Sunday..." He said to her, wondering why she didn't know it was Sunday today. Drew was confused when he moved in, so he figured she must be too at this point.

He just shrugged with a smile and quickly scrambled to the stage area. He rummaged through the various costumes and chose a fun one. Quickly pulling the pieces on over his current clothes he turned to Rinka. Tah-dahh! He grinned joyfully as he revealed his costume. He was a tree!

[rinka]

S-Sunday? Today was... Ah ha..hahaha..ha..hehe..heh..eh... ... Rinka felt like such a air head. No wonder everyone one was outside playing instead of inside learning, it was the last day of the weekend! Not only that but it was one of the most beautiful days she'd ever seen! The urge to go outside and dance around in the sun nagged at her, but she had something else to do now. And that something was currently shrugging and running up the steps onto the staging area. Oh well, they'll be other nice days to enjoy.

Chasing the boy up the stairs Rinka watched as he rummaged through some of the boxes and slipped one over his cloths along with a few other additions. She waited dutifully until he turned around to show her his finished costume. He was.. he was a.. He was a tree! It may have been a little rude but she couldn't help bursting out laughing at his choice of a tree out of every other possible thing he could have been. "I-I'm so v-very sorry!" she tried to apologize through the fits of laughter.

Once calmed down Rinka went over to the rack and boxes and trucks of costumes herself, trying to keep them neat and tidy as she hurried through them looking for the exact one she wanted. "Ah hah!" she finally exclaimed the looked sharply over at Drew. "T-turn around and no looksies!" waving her finger in a circular motion Rinka waited for Drew to obey the command before shimmying out of her skirt and pulling her shirt over her head. It'd be too big and bulky if she kept her cloths on underneath, not to mention it would ruin the whole thing and considering what her costume was she couldn't stand for that.

After putting on a few add effects with a pen Rinka ran in front of Drew to show off her amazing costume. She wore a baggy pair of orange pants with black stripes that were probably half a foot too long for her and also supported a tail that dragged on the floor a little, they were held up with an orange belt so as not to slip from around her thin waist. Rather than a shirt she wore a matching sweatshirt with the hood up, two orange triangles were sewed on top as the ears. Her face was also marked with three ink strokes on either side of her nose. "Rawr!" It wasn't the most intimidating sound in her high-pitched voice, but she tried her best to mimic the little tiger he'd made for her and that she was now dressed up as.

[tickley]

Drew sighed as he waited for Rinka to be done. In fact, he wasn't sure why he truly had to turn around. It must be a very cool costume that she had picked out. He smiled as she soon appeared in front of him with a cute little mock roar. It sounded much less ferocious and deep than what he was used to, but it was still nice. He nodded his approval with a quick thumbs up to further show his liking.

He wanted to go check out what else there was. So throwing off his costume bits he looked around and headed towards the trunk Rinka had been at. He stopped right in his tracks and looked to Rinka. Then he glanced to her skirt and shirt laying on the stage floor. Then back to Rinka. A small blush appeared on his face, because he didn't figure she would be in her underwear in the costume. Frankly it was kind of odd to him since he also didn't want to seem too interested in her over garments. Frankly though, he kinda failed as he stared at her skirt blankly.

Yeah, Drew was shy and secluded, but he was a boy. So forth he did have those kind of boyish moments where he would see interest in a girl's wear or even her body in a bikini persay. Drew just wasn't one to openly show his attractions. Being a sixteen-year-old boy wasn't the most relaxed if times. He turned back to the other trunk and rummaged through it nervously. His hands were sort of shaking with a nervous excitement. His mind started to stray on if Rinka took her costume off. Boys, Eh?

[rinka]

Hearing Drew sigh while turned around, Rinka did her best to hurry through putting on her tiger outfit. It was way to big for her, probably meant more for a taller boy like Drew, but when her eyes locked onto the black stripes she simply had to wear it. In the rush over she almost tripped over the pants a couple times, yet it was worth it to see his nod of approval at her costume.

Delighted Rinka returned the thumbs up energetically before he stripped off the pieces of his own costume heading back towards the rest of the materials for a new one. When Drew stopped and looked back at her she waved happily, still overjoyed that he liked her tigressness. She didn't think anything of his stare at her discarded cloths, she thought he had already guessed that she was changing out of them when requested to turn around. Out of the corner of her eye she had indeed been keeping an eye on him, since he didn't try and sneak a glance at her in her undies she found him more mature than other perverted guys. Trustworthy as well.

Figuring Drew was only concerned that she had carelessly left her cloths on the ground without folding them, Rinka didn't question his glances from them to her. She wasn't usually messy, preferring a neat and tidy room, but she had been in a hurry so as not to bore her audience. Turning her attention away while he looked for something new to wear, she spotted a mat with a bunch of pillows piled on top. There must have been at least a hundred of them, all of different shapes and sizes! Well, okay that was a bit of an exaggeration, there were probably only about 20, but it was still a lot.

Thinking the soft materials were just for such purposes Rinka dashed over towards them meaning to jump into the pile. She kind of.. failed, though. Right as she was about to jump her shoes got caught on the hem of the long pants and she ended up tumbling into the pillows instead of landing on top of them. Wearing the black heels did make her feel taller than her puny height just a few inches above five feet, but they weren't ideal for running in with baggy cloths so she took them off as well, setting them neatly by the pillow pile so they wouldn't be another mess that bothered Drew. She also sort of worried the edges might rip the fluffy pillows.

Free of her shoes, Rinka buried herself in the soft mound of pillows, moving the biggest one on top to hide her. Imagining herself as a tiger in the jungle she eyed her prey, wondering if he'd found a new costume and had seen her fall into the pile.

[tickley]

Drew sighed as he tried to shrug off his "urge". He was truthfully hoping that Rinka would accidentally reveal something or other. Why am I thinking these things?! He thought to himself, realizing how he was nearly losing his control at the sight of a girl's clothes. It really was hard being a boy, especially since you have been so secluded, not many natural things become so usual. More like it becomes the most exciting thing ever!

He kept looking through the trunk of costumes until he pulled out the perfect one. Turning he looked to find Rinka, not realizing she was in the pillows. He had on a round pair of large ears, a whip like tail, and a big nose. He was a mouse! He looked around for the small girl and saw nothing. She hid in the pillow pile so well. He had to circle around for a moment to even notice that her excitement radiated from the pillow pile. He let out a wide grin as he crept to the large pile of pillows behind her.

"Boo!" He called out as he lunged forth and lightly poked her sides after getting through the pillow barriers. He chuckled lightly as he grappled her in a light, affectionate hug. He pressed his cheek lightly against her hooded head and breathed in a deep breath of her sweet smell. Okay, at this point she was just too cute to resist this. He pulled her a bit closer and when his chin rested on her shoulder he shifted in and gave her a small kiss on the cheek.

[rinka]

'Rrrr' Seeing Drew in his mouse costume Rinka tried to play her part of the predator by growling softly at her prey, but it was just too silly. She tried to resist giggling for as long as possible but couldn't hold it in as he looked around for her. The animal fit him very well, mice were shy and nervous creatures, easily frightened, just like he seemed to be but.. he was just so tall that seeing him dressed as such a small animal made it more hilarious than his tree suit. To silence her giggling she buried her face in one of the many pillows, though the pile still shook a little with her quivering underneath.

With her giggle fit stifled Rinka peeked back up through the tiny holes in her fortress where the pillows didn't fully connect. An empty stage was all that greeted her vision. 'huh? ... Where did he go?' she thought, not realizing the presence behind her until it was too late.

"Boo!"
Not turning around in time quick enough she squeaked -which was very untiger like- when he poked her side. She was pretty ticklish, at least it didn't last and he took her up into another hug causing her to laugh. Instead of the tiger catching the mouse the mouse had caught the tiger, that didn't seem right! Then, all of a sudden, something changed. Squirming a little as Woman's intuition told her of the change in his movements she wondered what was wrong. The kiss still surprised her.

It wasn't anything big, just a light peck on the cheek, but it was still a kiss none-the-less. Wide-eyed Rinka turned and pushed Drew away, activating her Paralysis Inducement by instinct and crawled out of the pillow pile as if it had caught on fire. Looking back at the boy with a hurt expression she was starting to feel tears well up from the frightening kiss. "I.. I.. I'm s-sorry, that.. that will wear off but I... I h-have to.. um.. go now!" Not even bothering to take off the tiger costume Rinka fled the auditorium at a dead run.
