DGM :: Marie/Miranda
That wasn't what upset Miranda. That was what made Miranda fluster and stammer a protest, flapping her hands; mostly overwhelmed by Allen's agreed, "It is tradition," and Lenalee's chiding, "A ridiculous tradition. Miranda and Marie will move at their own pace. Keep your noses out of it."
What upset Miranda was when Lavi complained, "At their pace they'll just dance around each other until Miranda trips and falls into his lips!"
Because she was not that incompetent! She was dating a wonderful man she cared deeply about and nothing had gone horribly wrong yet. Just because she had never kissed anyone before didn't mean she never would! She was not a coward. And she was getting better...
Miranda worked herself into such a state that the next time she saw Marie in the halls she stopped, crying out, "Um! Marie!"
He paused, with the small smile that found his lips when he was paying attention to her, that one that made her so happy. She took quick, skipping steps up to him, and… threw her arms around him and kissed him square on the mouth.
...Immediately after that, when she realized what she’d done, she fainted.
"I'm so sorry! So, so sorry!" Miranda babbled when she woke again and found herself in his arms, which made her only more nervous. "I don't know what came over me, I was listening to the others and they all sounded so knowing and they're so much younger than me, I just wanted to show them they don't know--"
"I'm happy," Marie told her, gently, fingers curling around hers. "If... you did it because you wanted to, and not to make a point. I want you to want that."
Miranda softened, and squeezed his hand back. "It's all I want," she confessed.
Which was the story of how Miranda scandalously kissed her boyfriend, even faster than was traditional.
Re: DGM :: Marie/Miranda
It's great how you get everyone dead on--not just Miranda and Marie but also Allen, Lenalee, and Lavi--in so few words. Marie's lines are everything everyone should say to their girlfriend, and that closing line is aces.
...Immediately after that, when she realized what she’d done, she fainted.
YEAH, PRETTY MUCH THAT.
