[Gift] Date Night Numero Uno - L'Arcade

Ignition wasn't a major show-off. At least, he didn't try to be, much unlike the fireworks he collected. He was loud and brash and annoying, but thats because it was easiest to filter who he interacted with that way. Those who found him to be too much would fuck off, and to him they weren't worth the time anyway if that was the case. However, those that clung on despite the annoyances would get to notice that Ignition was in fact multi-faceted and not just one-note.

One of these people is Fragaria. It was completely accidental of course, but when it comes to having multiple friends in multiple places, the likelihood of it turning sexual for burrowgatory was extremely high. The likelihood of it becoming romantic was less common than casual sex but still far more common that monogamy, marriage, engagement etc. The fact of the matter is while Ignition is happy to be loud and engage with others, he does not fully trust...almost anyone. Damon would be the only doll he trusted fully and without any hesitance and for good reason.

Fragaria was another person he trusted, he had reason to, due to the excessive time spent with her not blowing him off or telling him to shut up. Thankfully, He trusted her with everything! For some god-awful reason, he also seemed to trust Rowan with just his body, even though he would rather pull up a blanket in an early grave before admitting that to anyone. Date-nights are pretty common, and he knows Aria would LIKE if all three of them did it as a group activity but unfortunately...they are not there yet. Getting there as a future destination still seemed very much NOT in the cards. Its not that Ignition isn't willing to try, he is. Its just Rowan is closed off, and Ignition refuses to have any kind of emotional vulnerability if Rowan is going to act like a brick wall. So, they are at an impass. Rowan seemed busy with work this evening so Ignition took it as an opportunity to drag Aria out, that way she wouldn't be at home bored or waiting up for either of them for most of the night.

"Where are we going?" Aria, who was very much in the dark about the situation, glances at Ignition who is very contently trotting along next to her, only a step or two ahead.

"You'll see."

After many twists and turns down paved stone walkways and flickering yellow lamps they come to a stop outside a bigger building along the street they turned into. Ignition holds out both his arms in a point motion to the building. It was an arcade, considering all the sex brothels, love hotels and bars scattered around, it was a very good break of theme! Aria smiles.

"I haven't been to one in a while"

"Frightened i'm going to kick your ass, are we?" Ignition questions, a small smirk slowly becoming prominent on his face before Aria bats at his arm playfully.

"No, I think YOU should be scared. When i'm no longer rusty you'll be super fucked." Aria scoffs at the notion Ignition could ever beat her. Before they go in, Ignition pulls a little white paper bag out of his pocket and places it in her hands. Aria immediately opens the top to peek. Ah yes, the customary Dango Tax for having Arias time. She didn't impose The Tax but she will certainly NOT be complaining about having it. She leans up and kisses Ignitions cheek.

"Thank you."

When they get inside, Its decided trying to one-up eachother on solo games and then trying to out-score eachother on multiplayers was the way to go. Of course, This would not go without some dirty tactics and evil distractions. At the moment, Aria is incredibly focused in on a street fighter kind of game. Unfortunately her focus wavers when she feels a chin rest on her head and arms around her waist.

"Ignition, Thats not fair" She murmured, half flicking in and out of game focus.

"Its not my fault your waist is out and my hands are free"

"Your hands being free is entirely your fault" Aria snorted, slowly regaining composure.

"I can un-free them with something if you'd like" Ignition chuckles lowly and she rolls her eyes, briefly stamping her foot.

"If you think your hands are going on my tits OR my ass you are severely mistaken, I'll have you know your crotch is within boot kicking distance." Aria smiles, mischief in her tone, and it IS a good threat. Not that she wants to keep his hands off her, That could absolutely stay....just not when shes gaming, She has a floor to wipe and Ignition is looking suspiciously like the mop she needs.

"Okay okay, Easy miss princess strawberry i think my balls have suffered enough for their crimes" Ignition, defeated, leaves his hands on her waist instead of moving them up or behind.

"Yeah and they just suffered again at the hands of me DESTROYING your score. I think by the end of this night princess strawberry deserves a reward, because its not looking good for you, firefly!" Aria claps as her score flashes on-screen and Ignition lets out a groan of fake exasperation.

"Yeah, Relax, Miss dainty. We still have mutliplayers to compete in remember?" He waved off her warning with ease.

"That's fine, I'll whoop your ass in those too~" Aria giggles.

"Yeah fuckin' right."

Hard cut to Aria having the higher total score of the night, therefore, consistently whooping his ass far worse than he could've imagined.

"Remind me not to bring you here again" Ignition snorted, but he's only joking. It was fun, so he cares a lot less about the end-night scores. Aria yawns briefly but flashes a grin at him, Seems she had an early morning again and was out late for the night so she was a little sleepy. Ignition picks her up so his arms are under her ass and she clambers upwards more, putting her arms around his neck and yawning again, only a little smaller this time.

"This was fun, Thank you~" Aria kisses him briefly, which he returns with a softness.

"You're welcome. C'mon. Lets get back, You have beauty rest to catch and also your reward"

Arias eyes gleamed despite her tiredness. "Oh ho? So there WAS a reward for winning~. What is it? Tell me tell me tell me!!!"

"I've got an idea. You'll see when we get back, Just rest your little head for now"

She yawns again and lets her head rest against his chest and lower shoulder. "Fine...But you better wake me up when we get there"

"Of course."
