Sexy Spade Pirate Times. I Mean, Romance. Maybe.

Who: Spade Pirates All!
Where: Aboard The Ship, in various places.
What: Pop up romantic dates!
Warnings: Depends on how saucy or not the dates get!
Style: Whatever turns you on ;)
Status: Open your hearts!

So Selphie has decided that there's been far too much doom and gloom around the ship lately. The kraken, Sora dead, all the problems with the curses, and then turning back again. What better way to make that better than with a little bit of romance? Selphie set to it, using her own supply of candles and flowers (admittedly rather dried up by now). One evening, dotted around the ship in several places, are pop up romantic dates. These include a couple of candles, some flowers, some chocolates, and a sandwich sliced into two (because she wasn't going to cook a whole bunch of meals)!

Who left it there? Who knows? But it definitely looks like it was put there to be enjoyed, ideally by two people. If it looks romantic, that's because it's supposed to be. So grab your nearest and dearest Spade pirate, or bring two people together, and enjoy some flirting, love, and relaxation.

As for Selphie herself, she might be A) somewhere on the ship. Perhaps you stumble across her near a pop up date, or maybe you go looking for her to drag her/invite her to join you for the evening. Or B) you spy her/find her making a massive pile of sandwiches, or sorting dead dried flowers into bouquets, using strips of her pillowcase as ribbons.

Enjoy, Spades!

Hmm... Well that's okay. Just have a think - is there anything about me you don't know but you wanna know? Or... anythong about my life that you're curious about?

*She has some hope that he'll come up with something, but she's fairly certain that he probably isn't interested enough to ask any questions. She eyes up the second half of the sandwich, but thinks she'll wait and see if he wants it first*

[He gives her a look before he sighs.]

I'm really not good at asking others just for the sake of it. Everyone has skeletons in their closet, and I don't wish to poke at any of them, what is trivial for me may not be so for you, so it's impossible to know what may hit a mine or not.

[He falls silent, looking at the floor and for a moment it seems that he really isn't going to ask anything.]

I want to know why you insist in knowing me. Even if you want to try to get to know everyone on the crew and be friends with them, there's enough people and enough work to decide when to cut a chase when the other is a jerk to you.

*Wriggling her nose, Selphie gives him a look right back. She pouts slightly too, stretching out her legs across the rug*

He-eey! What you trying to say? Do I look like a lady with a whole load of skeletons in her closet?

*As soon as the pout was there it was gone again, replaced by a teasing grin. So finally he does seem curious about something, at least*

It's because I like your hair.

*Yup, even Selphie can do deadpan humour. Laughing, she leans over to pat his knee and shake her head*

Why not? I can't be friends with the whole crew and miss you out. That'd be mean!

Maybe not a load, but certainly a few of them. I've yet to meet someone who can act like you while having a mercenary live and not have at least something in their closet they don't want to show.

[His tone is very serious, as well as his gaze as he looks at her own eyes for a moment before looking away. Of course there may be exceptions but Ikki isn't one to believe in those.]

I'm pretty sure you could, and it wouldn't be as mean as I'm sure I've been to you. I'm not someone people come to like, even those who claim to do so often want to just punch me in the face or give up on me. If my own brothers may feel like that even when I don't try to make them think so, why wouldn't you?

*When he meets her eyes, Selphie tries to hold his gaze, prove that there's no problem here. Nope, no skeletons hiding. But then looks away again and waves away his comment*

Whoa, wait a minute...

*Finally she looks back at him, this time seemingly very much amused*

Just because I like you doesn't mean I haven't thought about punching you.

*Despite her sweet expression, she does look like she means it*

You're welcome to do so whenever you want. Don't expect me to care, though.

[He's well aware of his own issues and how he deserves many punches, but he's not going to start changing any time soon.]

Anyway you haven't thought about giving up on me, apparently. Have you?

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. Though maybe you'd care more if I hit you with my nunchaku...

*To his question, Selphie emphatically shakes her head, enough that the dead flower behind her ear falls out*

Nope! Not yet! What, you getting bored of me now?

Trust me, I've been hit with worse things than a nunchaku, even if I don't doubt it will be a terrible hit.

[Ikki looks at her for a long moment in silence before he moves reaching to pick the fallen flower. Without pausing he then moves to put it back in place, swiftly intertwining it with her hair. He leans forward slightly to look right into her eyes, hand still pressed against her cheek.]

The phoenix flies alone, everyone who gets close ends burned in its flames, whether the phoenix wants it or not.

Guess that you have managed to make me curious enough to want to see how long it will take for you to back off. Or if you will actually have it in you to push through the flames.

[He's standing at the next instant, having moved at the speed of light all that's left as a trace is a sudden movement of the air and a flash.]

Tomorrow we will have extra cleaning duty with picking all this up, let's just put off the candles and leave it for others in case they want to use it.

Don't make me use my ice spells to freeze up all those flames...

*If things worked the way they did back home, something like that would have the potential to kill him, but she wasn't shy enough not to use it as a joke. When he places back the flower and touches her cheek, Selphie's eyes widen and a blush spreads over her cheeks. She hadn't expected that at all, and it was all she could do but look back at him, unable to speak for a moment*

Uh... Yeah. Cleaning. Well, don't worry about that.

*Slowly, she pulls herself up to standing, brushing down her thighs and legs, looking down at the candles*

Hmm. That's a good idea.

[Dying isn't a worry for Ikki, unfortunately, here or out of this place. He's not surprised by her answer, but it still makes him shake his head, well, if she ends getting burned with her ice spells or not no one can't say he didn't warn her.]

They can always light them again if they want to and it would be better than to wake up to a fire on the deck.

[Honestly, he can't get why anyone thought the candles were needed, romantic or not.]

Right. That's probably a good idea.

*She leans over the candles, takes a deep breath, and blows them all out. Standing, she looks down at the rug and plates*

They're missing a few chocolates, but I guess if it''s romantic enough they'll share.

*But candles are pretty and romantic! At least she didn't try setting up a log fire on deck*

Well... *Selphie pauses, not really sure what to say now* Feel..better after that?

Why does it have to be romantic?

[Ikki almost rolls his eyes at that comment. He pauses briefly at her last question though, honestly... He doesn't think he feels any different, nor better nor worse, then again if he could feel better with something so simple he wouldn't have the issues he has in general.]

They say that friends can know how each other feel without being told, since you insist on being that to me, I will let you decide on that yourself.

[The only way he could have given her the answer she wanted would have been by lying and Ikki prefers to not do that. Instead he tries to make it vague, because after all there's no better nor worse which is good by itself somehow.]

Well why not? It is candles and flowera and chocolates after all!

*That was far from being the kind of answer that she wanted or expected. And when brings up the friend thing, she freezes for a moment, wondering if all he's really doing is mocking her. She just doesn't know what to think. From seemingly tender a moment ago, to suggesting that he maybe he couldn't care less.. It hurt her head, confusing her. But she refuses to let him make her feel glum, and she grins regardless*

Right, then I bet you've just had the best evening you've had in ages. And you're brimming with happiness too! Friends know this stuff, right?

And all that makes it romantic automatically? I'll try to keep it in mind for future reference.

[He snorts lightly at her answer and smiles faintly, far from it, but if he compares it to specific times... Maybe he can see it on that angle so he nods when he looks at her.]

Right. Let's go with that then, thank you, Selphie. Sleep well.

[He doesn't wait much longer before he starts to retreat to below the deck.]

It is a good piece of information. Ya never know when you're gonna need it!

*Despite her cheerfulness and a quick wink, Selphie is rather sure that it's not like he'll be throwing hinself into romantic situations any time soon*

Okay. You're welcome, I guess? Good night.

*She smiles and waves as he disappears, before turning to get busy with all the cleaning she'd have to do*
