[Alexandra Lawson]

Alex stared blankly at Erin as a great number of words the tiny redhead could never hope to pronounce tumbled out. She blinked a few times, instantly regretting mentioning anything about trying exotic foods. While hardly ignorant of other cultures, Alex was raised in as American fashion as possible when it came to food. Her diet was usually painfully simple and didn't feature anything that sounded as if it was made with nothing but vowels. "I think I'm just going to let you handle the food." She said with a slow nod. She was definitely in over her head when it came to that. It all sounded positively horrible on the surface but she trusted Erin enough to not lead her astray.

Alex couldn't take being the hotel room for more than a few minutes before she gravitated toward the massive bed. "Oh, man." She giggled to herself as she climbed up onto it and splayed herself out. Even with her arms and legs spread out as they were she took up surprisingly little of the bed's surface. She shifted, turning to lay on her back while keeping the same starfish position and stared up at the ceiling, a huge grin plastered to her face. "I can't believe I'm really here." She gushed, her head shaking.

[Erin Hackett]

Erin blushed a little when she could see the look on Alex's face as she suggested a few things she knew the hotel had that would meet the 'exotic' thing Alex was looking for. Now it seemed like the girl didn't want to have anything exotic and perhaps Erin should have just stuck to English. No doubt the menu had a side full of Japanese’s and another side of everything in English. Alex spoke of how she was just going to leave the choice to Erin to make. Oh no, what if I pick something awful? She could hate it. Hate me. Okay...well maybe she won't hate me if I pick something she does not like but still. Erin thought to herself.

She hesitated a moment before moving to grab the menu and look over the dishes native to here and those for westerns. "Alright, I'll handle it then." Erin responded as she looked over the menu closely. She figured it was best to go with dishes similar to a western dish, but just prepared different. Erin also figure that she still should have Alex try something exotic still, just so she had the experience and could say that she did it. If she didn't like it, that was finding and Erin would not make her finish it. With that decided she went to go order the food on the phone, getting distracted by Alex making herself comfortable...on the bed that they would be sharing. Yup, Erin was blushing again.

"T-thanks for coming with me." Erin spoke up. She had thanked Alex plenty of times for the other girl coming with her on the trip, but she really did appreciate Alex joining her. Erin then picked up the phone and made the order, getting them steak, rice, and mixed vegetables. Of course all of it would taste different then what they would get in the states, the steak here would taste amazing due to Erin ordering the expensive kind; Wagyu Beef, it was made from cows that got massages and drank wine. She also ordered slices of a Densuke Black Watermelon, something that was exotic but also would be pretty sweet to eat.

Her dad might have a little huff about the bill later on, but he would understand that Erin really wanted to pull out all the stops. "Alright, food is order. Time to uh...bust out the new pjs then. I uh...also made sure to get sake, so be ready for that." Erin spoke up as she took a deep breath. She was fine ordering over the phone, that was not the problem. The problem was still her wondering if Alex would like all of this.

[Alexandra Lawson]

Alex trusted Erin to take care of the food without going too crazy. If anything Erin had proved herself to be remarkably adept at being mindful of Alex's needs and likes. Had Alex not been nearly as clueless as she was there was a good chance she'd be curious of the way Erin acted around her, at the very least. Alas, there was nothing of the sort to be found. Alex found pleasure in the little things and was able to go with the flow of the moment without trying to find ulterior motives for anyone's actions.

Alex kicked off her sneakers and sat up just enough to reach and pull off her socks. "Much better." She said to herself, giving her newly freed toes a wiggle before flopping back onto the bed and splaying her body out over the top again. Her head tilted toward Erin and she gave the other girl a smile. Alex didn't know how Erin could possibly think there was a need to thank her for coming along. This had been a once in a life time opportunity offered simply from the kindness of Erin's heart. If anything Alex should be thanking her. Again. Repeatedly. Constantly. "I love it." She said in response. "This is all just..." Her head shook and she gave a contented sigh. There were no words.

Suddenly Alex's eyes snapped open and she bolted upright. She had forgotten her mission and was immediately crawling off the bed and jumping to her feet. The onesies had been sitting off to the side still in the bag displaying the logo for the Pokemon store and that just wouldn't do. She made a beeline for the bag and dug around, pulling out the black Umbreon outfit Erin had bought. "Yesssss." She hissed to herself, eyes bright. "This is going to be stupid and so much fun." She announced, turning to place the sleepwear onto the bed before promptly pulling her t-shirt over her head.

[Erin Hackett]

Of course Erin was good at keeping in mind Alex's needs and likes. She did have a huge crush on the girl and did want to make sure that Alex did want to remain her friend. Erin was still getting better at the whole making friends thing and she was still pretty sure that money was the way into someone’s heart. That was why she was not afraid to do all the buying and spending, she would do it all in order to keep the friends she had made close to her side. Plus there were tons of stories and manga out there where the girl would give you a kiss if you kept being nice to her.

A kiss on the cheek, but it would be a kiss all the same. In other words, Erin did have a few alternative motives but it was mostly because she just liked the feeling she got when she was around Alex and didn't want it to go away. She didn't want to lose this friend and would do whatever she thought she needed to in order to maintain their relationship. Erin just smiled and tried to not stare too much as Alex spoke of how she loved it all and then was suddenly getting up. They did have a plan to keep; and even if Erin was still a little iffy about it, she was going to do it.

Erin had expected Alex to get her outfit and run off into the bathroom, but not the other girl started to strip right there! Alex, why. Why do you do this to me? Erin thought to herself as she could not help but to stare at Alex's body when the girl removed her shirt. Someone had to have cut the heat on again, because the room was most certainly blazing. A cold shower was in order before Erin changed, she needed that cold shower. "Y-yeah...so much fun." Erin said as she debated fi she should go to the bathroom to change but then figure Alex might be hurt by that or something.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to turn her back to Alex, and then quickly worked on changing out of her clothing to put on the Pikachu onesie on. Don't turn around. Just get dressed. Dress fast. Shit I should have gone to the bathroom to do this. Never been in my underwear around a girl before. She probably is not looking. Why would she look. Erin thoughts were whirling as she quickly fumbled around to get dressed and ready for the food to get there.

[Alexandra Lawson]

Oh, Alex had looked. She couldn't help it. While hardly a perv by any stretch of the imagination there was something about the female form Alex found appealling. She enjoyed the soft warmth and gentle curves that defined a woman's body. It was a stark contrast to the hard, defined look of a man. It didn't hurt that Alex did, in fact, find Erin attractive and had, up to this point, very little opportunity to see what the natural redhead had underneath her t-shirts and jeans.

"Erin." Alex said, the smirk on her face shining through in her words. She was standing, clad in only her underwear, hands on her hips, very much looking at the undressing girl. "I'm impressed." There was a playful smile that now tugged at her lips as she gave Erin the once over. "I always thought you were cute but damn, girl." And with that she gave Erin a playful wink and returned to her own onesie, pausing as the realization of how ludicrous and childish all this was and not caring one bit.

Once the soft fabric was wrapped around Alex's skin and the outfit zipped up, she flung herself back onto the bed and splayed out across the top. The hood of her onesie flopped to one side as she stared at the ceiling. "Okay." She said, as if announcing some big secret. "This is awesome. Yep." She nodded a bit and tilted her head to look at Erin, a wide grin spread across her face. "How long does it usually take for the food to get here?"

[Erin Hackett]

Erin would fully agree with Alex on there being something about the female body that was just, perfect. Erin was a lesbian, so it made sense that she would find the female body very appeasing and was having a hard time not looking over to get a better look at Alex's body. She had seen the girl in her bra before, but that was about it. Hell, it was all that she felt she should be allowed to see or else her dreams would have even more details to tease Erin's mind with when she was sleeping. Then in Erin's case, of course no one really had seen her body outside of her arms and shoulder occasionally due to the clothing style she chose to wear.

"Y-yeah?!" Erin asked, it coming out a little loud because she jumped a little at hearing her name being called. She still avoided looking over at Alex, already blushing just thinking about it as a confused expression appeared on her face from Alex's words. She was impressed? With what? She could not help but to look then, regretting it from the view she got and because she was able to see the wink that went with Alex's next words. "Wh-where you...uh...you have a nice body too. Looks so smooth and everything fills-was that a knock?!" Erin started to say before quickly changing the subject.

There had not been a knock, but Erin was still scrambling all the more to finish getting dressed and scrambled towards the door. It was very funny that the people had already been on their way just as Erin was heading towards the door. "A-At this hour, not very long. They like to get things done quickly because that typically means a bigger tit-tip!" Erin answered, slipping there for a moment but hopefully covered it up. She worked so hard to get her mind out of the gutter and it was back there again. Then came the knock, Erin quickly opening it since she had been at the door already, and paid them.

The food she had ordered was then wheeled into the room, uncovered, and the people gave a bow before they left. The food was there, fresh and hot, and Erin and Alex were once again alone in the room. Neither of them were given a questioning look by the people who dropped off the food; this was Japan after all, they had seen weirder sites. "I-I hope you like everything." Erin quickly spoke up, staying over near the door still.

[Alexandra Lawson]

Alex wasn't completely ignorant at this point. She'd caught a few of the glances here and there as well as the way Erin tensed whenever she got close. Granted, Alex was clueless as to the full extent of Erin's feelings and motivations behind the subtle hints she dropped, be them on purpose or otherwise. In truth, Alex simply didn't know what to do about it. She adored Erin and loved spending time with her. The gifts were a bonus, an entirely necessary act in spite of displaying how big of a heart Erin truly had. Alex liked Erin, at this point it was probably safe to say Alex loved Erin. Though she didn't love Erin. That wasn't to say Alex didn't appreciate the way her friend looked at her. It was comforting and humbling. After all, Erin wasn't exactly difficult to look at. That she'd find interest in Alex was mind blowing.

For the sake of simply enjoying the moment without letting the awkward tension that fell over them the moment Alex let slip she had checked Erin out get to them, Alex simply smiled and nodded at Erin's stammered reply. She let out a little giggle as Erin rushed to the door to answer a knock that wasn't there. A witty retort was cocked and ready to fly when the food actually did arrive and Alex decided to bank her comment for later.

"Dude, what didn't you order?" Alex said, eyes wide. It wasn't that much food but it was certainly more than she had expected. "Oh, woah!" Her face lit up as she spotted the tall, slender glass bottle and she immediately went for it. "Ow, it's hot!" She exclaimed as she dropped the bottle back onto the cart with a clank. She shook out her hand and pouted some, popping two of her fingers into her mouth.

[Erin Hackett]

Erin didn't know how Alex didn't seem to get what she was doing to her. How could someone not notice that they were literally making a person hot and bothered in all kinds of ways? Alex had worked Erin up several times already since the day they met and today just seemed like the girl was trying to make Erin need to lock herself in a freezer. It was super hard to not stare at the other girl, to not think about touching that soft skin and wondering how it would be to-Nope! Settle down Erin. What are you a teenager? Well technically yes, but you are also an adult. You need to stop thinking that kind of way about a girl who just wants to be your friend. You are only making it hard for yourself. Erin mentally scolded herself.

The other thing that Erin didn't understand was how Alex never really seemed to fully believe her when she would complement the other girl. Perhaps Alex just didn't want to get an ego or something or maybe Erin was making her uncomfortable. She didn't know for sure. All she knew was that she was very much attracted to Alex physically and who Alex was as a person. Now all Erin had to do was keep reading help guides on how to stop crushing on a straight girl who just wanted to be your bestie. Yet other things to add to her collection of research when it came to making friends and how to keep them.

Thankfully the food was here and at least for the moment was able to get Erin's mind out of the gutter and onto thoughts of eating the food. Okay, maybe on through of feeding Alex crossed her mind, but it was only for a second and she was refocused on making sure they had everything. "Did I order too much? They tend to give what I call 'fancy servings' so in other words not a whole lot but I figured with two orders of everything; it should be enough to fill us up. Plus I wanted you to uh...you know, get that exotic taste you were looking for but at least with things that are familiar to you." Erin responded as she started to play with the zipper to her onesie as she spoke.

Alex seemed most pleased about the bottle that came with what they order, even going as far to pick it up, and of course burn herself. Erin acted quickly and moved to closer to Alex in order to put the cool towel that was on the cart on Alex's hands. "Careful, Alex. Let me see you hand real quick." Erin said as she motioned for Alex's hand so she could make sure there was no serious burn Alex might have wielded fire but Erin long ago knew the other girl was not immune to it or the heat. "I'll go ahead and pour that for you." Erin assured her with a small smile, forgetting about her nerves for a moment as she would try to help her friend out and take care of the drink.

[Alexandra Lawson]

"Erin, c'mon." Alex pleaded even though her words carried a certain playfulness to them. Her eyes settled upon the other girl, large brown orbs gleaming adoringly. "Everything's amazing, you know that. Stop questioning everything. Really. This is all..." Alex trailed off as she waved a hand about, gesturing to the food and the room around them with a long sweeping motion before finally returning to Erin herself. "It's all amazing, you're amazing."

Alex eyes remained on Erin until the other girl reached out to take care of the bottle of alcohol that had been delivered along with the food. Alex wasn't much of a drinker but she'd heard a lot about sake and was interested. Plus, there was a tiny, rebellious part of her that wanted to write 'getting drunk in a Japanese hotel' onto her bucket list then promptly cross it off.

It wouldn't be wholly accurate to say Alex ate or drank a lot. She wasn't a large person my any standards making her largely unlike the gaping black holes that represented many of the other teenage students she knew but that didn't stop her from giving the cart that had been wheeled in her best shot. She tried everything available, liking some and going back for more while others remained untouched after the first sampling. Through it all, Alex found herself drawn to the warm, potent liquid Erin had seen to ordering. Alcohol in general wasn't one of Alex's best friends, especially when it was unassuming and snuck up on her like sake had a habit of doing.

Once Alex had put down as much food as she could and probably more sake than that, the cart had been put back together for easy removal and the conversation about the latest games and movies had died down, the tiny pyrokinetic once again found herself sprawled out on the bed. her mind was swimming from the sudden rush of the alcohol but she was in high spirits as evident by the random soft giggles that escaped as she did little more than stare at the ceiling. "Erin." She called tilting her head and reaching and arm out toward the other girl in melodramatic fashion. "What are you doing? What good is paying to have this huge bed if you're not going to enjoy it?"

[Erin Hackett]

Erin felt herself warming up again as Alex spoke about how everything was amazing and how Erin herself was amazing. Just those beautiful brown eyes looking at her made Erin feel like she was literally going to meet right then and there. Well, she did melt but in a different kind of way and not the literally turning into a puddle kind of way. She was pretty sure that her whole body was blushing by this point and she just wanted to stuff her face full of food so she would not be able to talk and Alex would hopefully become focused on the food.

"You're even more amazing...so I had to uh...you know...make sure it was all perfect." Erin muttered in response as she forced herself to at least look up from the ground. Then there was the food and the sake, all of it prepared fresh, and no doubt was going to be delicious. Erin had it all before except the watermelon but she had heard good things about it. She planned to eat a bit of everything and while she was small she could eat a decent amount. Epically since she didn't end up eating before they left, or on the flight so she was pretty hungry. She had just been too worried about making sure Alex was enjoying herself and nervous about it all that food was not all that important.

Time went by and Erin was enjoying all of it. Most of the food gone or packed up to be taken away later when Erin would slide it out into the hallway with the sake remaining. Alex never said to stop so overtime the other girl's cup would go empty, Erin was refilling it; along with her own. She was most certainly feeling the effects of the drink but was still well aware what she was doing and saying. Not that it mattered because she was her bold self, feeling confident like she did when she was playing a video game. They were talking about games and the like when Alex was suddenly reaching out for her and talking about the bed.

Sex. Was literally the first word that crossed Erin's mind at the topic of the bed coming up. "You just look so comfy up there that I thought I give you your space. What, you want? A pillow fight? Jumping on the bed? Strip poker on the bed? Bed?" Erin asked as she reached a hand out to sort of high five the hand Alex had outstretched to her.

[Alexandra Lawson]

The look of pure, drunken contentment Alex was looking up to Erin with shifted into a mask of confusion mixed with more than a little surprise. Alex brought her hand back and held it in front of her face. She started at it for a moment then looked back to Erin. Her head tilted as she studied the natural redhead before dropping her gaze once more to her still raised hand. "Um." She said one last time shifting her attention to Erin as the hand finally dropped.

For a moment Alex had to remind herself that Erin had insisted from the beginning she wasn't the kind of girl that spent a lot of time around people. It stood to reason Erin may have been flying through uncharted territory. Alex's gaze softened as she beckoned for Erin to come closer with an uncoordinated wave of her hand. "Come on you. There's plenty of space for the both of us, I'm too full for a pillow fight and you've already seen as much as you would playing strip poker." She reminded Alex with a sly wink. The exaggerated gestures was made all the more ridiculous by the floppy ears of the Umbreon onesie Alex was proudly wearing. "Now, you've been going all day making sure everything was perfect. You deserve to relax." And she did the waving her hand bit again to further accentuate her point.

[Erin Hackett]

The way Alex reacted the hive five made it all too clear that Erin had messed up along the way. Her eyes widen a little for a moment as it clicked in her mind as she literally face palmed herself, allowing her hand to slowly drag down her face. Stupid Erin, she didn't want a high five. You did not win some video game championship. You don't just go high five a girl you like when she has her hand out to you and is on the bed....you don't think. Did she want to sex you? Did you mess up and high five a girl when she was inviting you into the bed with her?! Erin mind was wondering now as she looked at Alex with a bit of desire and also fear.

Did she really just mess up there? Just great. Then again she could have been over thinking things and her mind could have been into the gutter too much. Alex probably just wanted her to join her up in the bed and cuddle with her. That was an Alex thing, yeah. It was indeed true that Erin didn't really interact with people and Alex was literally the first person; besides her dad, that Erin had been drunk around or drinking around period. Erin blushed at the next beckon, so thankful for the second chance. The blush became worse at Alex mentioning that she had seen all that she would have in a game of strip poker, which just brought the imagine if Alex changing back to her mind.

Erin hesitated a moment before she got up and joined Alex on the bed, at first sitting a bit too close before she moved over a little to give the girl some space. She could not help the fact that she was basically staring at the girl as her hands reached out to play with the onesie ears for a moment. "I want to capture you in my pokeball." Erin said before once again turning bright red that those words had come out. She didn't move away however, nope she was staying right there. She felt bold enough to at least do that but felt stupid for saying such a thing.

[Alexandra Lawson]

It seemed as though an awful lot was going through Erin's mind as Alex beckoned her into the bed. There was no innuendo or lust to be seen in Alex's gaze, just the usual playful adoration she held for the select few close friends that were held close to her heart. Everyone who got to know the crimson haired, manic pixie simply had to get used to, or at least tolerate, someone who sometimes had very little respect for the boundaries of personal space. Alex was a hugger and a cuddler and she refused to apologize for it.

Alex's face lit up when Erin finally complied and made her way down onto the wide expanse of the bed. Alex had pulled up the blankets, in spite of the climate controlled room and the warm outfits they were wearing and tossed one end over Erin as she slipped in. Alex wasted no time in closing the gap Erin opened between them. She immediately brought her tiny body to Erin's, turning to face the other girl. Her eyes rose as Erin toyed with one of the floppy hears on the hood that was still over her head. They shifted back to Erin as she spoke. "Is that so?" She said with a soft giggle weaving through the words.

Soon, though, Alex's features sobered. She was still drunk, the glassy look in her eyes was evident enough of that, but she studied Erin with a curious expression. "Erin." She said suddenly, her voice still low. Carefully Alex brought her hand up and rested it upon Erin's cheek. She held it the for a moment, allowing her fingertips to linger gently against Erin's skin. "You don't have to be nervous, you know?" She insisted softly. "I like you for who you are."

[Erin Hackett]

Of course Erin should have known that all of this was innocent, this was Alex she was dealing with. The girl was just super nice and clingy, that was just in her nature and it was not her fault that she caught the eye of the oh so lesbian that was Erin. It still didn't help with Erin's mind and what she wanted to do or say to the girl. While she was drunk she was not completely out of it to let everything just come pouring out. Nope, drunken Erin just simply behaved more like she did when playing with a video game. She had a bit more confidence, willing to take a few more risk, and had no problem being in charge.

However; that didn't make the butterflies she got around the other girl go away completely. Then there was the bed, Erin making herself comfortable until a sheet was laying over her. She didn't even have time to react or say anything before Alex had moved in close the space between them. As if she was not going to be hot from being in the onesie, under the sheets, and now having a girl she was very attracted to close to her. She was going to burn alive. Why did it feel so good, so right to have Alex's body close to her? "Yes, and you would be my number one Pokémon. We would win all the gym badges across all the regions." Erin said with several nods to go with it.

Okay, now she was having one of those fantasies of literally going around with a humanoid Alex Pokémon in her party and she was the trainer. She could say that would never happen, but they were in Japan and that would be the perfect place for that fantasy to come to life. Erin took a deep breath then, only to go still when she felt that soft hand on her face and Alex speaking to her. This girl had to be seducing her, there was no way that Alex could expect Erin to just lay there and take it all. Alex said that she didn't have to be so nervous, that she liked Erin the way she was.

Erin could feel her heart stop again for a moment before her hand reached up to take a hold of the hand that was on her face. "I like you too, Alex." Erin responded, partially in a whisper as she let go of Alex's hand. Only so she could slide her hand along Alex's face, slipping into Alex's hair as she leaned in to press her lips against Alex. There had been no way to avoid holding herself back when she felt like this and the sake running through her and making her feel like the risk was worth it.

[Alexandra Lawson]

Alex's head swam. She hadn't expected the sudden display from Erin, though she probably should have. Maybe it was the excitement of being in a different country. Maybe it was the inherent loneliness from having to spend so much time away from a boyfriend she barely knew. Maybe it was the alcohol coursing through her system. Whatever it was, Alex didn't pull away. The moment she felt the soft lips pressing against her's she melted in to Erin's touch.

Alex returned the kiss heatedly, shifting forward to press her body tightly against Erin's as an arm slipped around the other girl's waist. A surge of passion and heat mingled with the alcohol sloshing around in her, bringing out a sense of near euphoria. It had been so long since Alex had felt such passion in the touch of another. It made her realize how much she missed it.

After a moment Alex forced herself to pull away. This was wrong. She was taken, spoken for and, whether or not she truly felt that way until otherwise noted her affections belonged to someone else. A reluctant groan escaped her throat as she left the tender, yet heated touch of Erin's lips. "Erin..." She breathed as her chest heaved. She studied Erin's face for a long while without a trace of regret or confusion in her large, expressive brown eyes. "I can't..." She whispered.
