a tentative , exploratory kiss between friends . + a kiss to prove you don’t have feelings for them . for dahlia because there's nothing weird about kissing ya homies
Dahila had been spending time with Miranda ather VR at camp, she had spent the whole morning on just one badge and felt a bit burned out so she knew that with Miranda she could rest for awhile and get to spend time with her dear friend.
She had been joking with Miranda about the Color Crew and their new cohorts in trying to sorce a date, Dahila did find it endearing but also really really funny when they failed. Either way that was how the topic lf romance came up.
Dahila had given thought to if there was any suitable match for herself outside of hell, and Miranda came to mind but no, that would be a mess, the LaVeys pretty much had been trying to win favor with the merkingdom from day one, they wouldn't allow an enemy to come in and date the heir, not to mention she didn't know what sorts of plans Miranda's own kingdom had for her... Still her name did come to mind, Miranda didn't have to try like so many others did to win Dahila over, she was admired without action by Dahlia.
Dahila made what she thought was a off hand comment "-I bet any of them would pass out if one of us just gave a friendly kiss, won't they?"
She had seen Miranda kiss some of her friends before, and it seemed to be something a few others did, it made sense to Dahila, for demons just raw physicality was pretty much nonthing, demons ideas of pain and intimacy were different, more tied to their souls and the less physical.
Something about what she said seemed to say catch Miranda's ears, Dahila wasn't sure what so she'd pry a litte "I mean, I've nearly knocked someone over once when I was testing their kissing skills so I guess in my case it'd be justified."
Dahila gazed at Miranda, who seemed... Unsure about something at least that's what Dahila could make out, until she spoke up, asking about what Dahila meant by 'testing someone's kissing skills'.
"Oh that's pretty simple, I have some demons within my army whose job is pretty much to be honey pots, if they can't kiss then how can they do their jobs? So I test it myself, it's not really a big deal like how some of the others here would treat it." Dahila was happy in this case to explain, it wasn't anything messy or secret, just some harmless leadership stuff.
Still it seemed to make the gears in Miranda's head turn, Dahila wasn't really sure with what though, maybe that was a very odd thing culturaly?
But then she asked if Dahila had ever considered 'testing' her friends.
If Dahila was a honest person she would say no, she hadn't, she had thought of kissing some of her friends in many contexts but not in the same context of how she'd test something meant to be weaponized...
But she knew that wasn't exactly the question being asked, it was a question related to the pior topic but wasn't that, and the answer to that question would be;
"Yeah sure I have, I mean who doesn't wonder about if their friends are good kissers? There isn't really a good way to know til you try."
Dahila couldn't help but find she was staring at Miranda's lips, she already knew that Miranda was in all likelihood a amazing kisser, she'd feel confident betting her soul on it... But yet she wanted to see where this was going, was... Was that selfish? She wasn't sure, but she was already here, doing it, not revealing her true thoughts... They were too dangerous.
Then Miranda asked for something that felt more like a dare from one of those party games, asked if Dahila could tell her if she was a good kisser. Dahila felt she could see more going on behind Miranda's eyes but she won't look into it, Miranda deserved her private thoughts, and deserved to not have her motives questioned... or maybe that was a excuse to not look into her own motives.
"Well I'd need to kiss you first." An a out, if Miranda wanted it, a catch to say 'oh well then I won't know' 'I don't want to kiss you Dahila' or anything to avoid doing it, she knew it had to be a friendly kiss, like the ones she had mentioned before but still... The weight of two crowns, even if one was more a war hlem weigh on every a small gesture between them.
Miranda gave her approval.
Dahila nodded and leaned in to kiss Miranda, she did feel her heart skip a beat but she pushed though, she held Miranda by the shoulders, keeping her steady but not too close, after all this was just friendly.
Dahila was a firm kisser, her teeth's overbite did dig a bit into Miranda's lips but broke no skin, Dahila seemed to use some sort of candy flavored lip beam, it wasn't a strong flavor but it was there along with the energy drink smells from Dahila's mouth.
Dahila hadn't been sure what she was expecting, she knew it'd feel good but she hadn't known the exacts, it felt like finally finding a firm but soft pillow, it was hard to find people who Dahila didn't feel like she had to treat like paper dolls or who were just as steely as her but... Miranda was perfect in that sense, it did feel like holding another but without fear, well no fear of physically hurting Miranda.
But it was the fear of worse pain that did make her pull away, not just melt into affection with Miranda and throw everything to thewind. that would behorrible to someone that meant so much to her, so she'd say nothing, that was better, less cruel.
"Wow yeah you're pretty good, if I had to rank it I'd say nine out of ten, and ten is basically impossible so you got the highest sorce I've given."
