RP with Rachel/Raven

[dawn_is_breaking]

[It took a little longer than expected to plan out all the details and secure a firm date for their girl's night but finally Dawn had booked a flight and hotel and made the long journey from Paris to San Francisco, giving herself one day to sleep off the jet lag and then the next day it's time to meet Rachel.

She feels excited but also a little nervous, it feels like a lot has happened between then and now and she hopes nothing will be weird between them. She's missed Rachel a lot and when she arrives at the coffee shop they agreed to meet at she sits down on the patio, taking out her phone to shoot Rachel a text that says:]

I'm here.

[feelthedarkness]

No. I just want you to be open to it.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Okay, I'll be open to it. But I think it will be a while until I find someone else.

[She says and then shrugs.]

Which in a way might be better. It gives me time to figure out who I want to be next and what I want to do with my life.

[feelthedarkness]

That makes sense. I just don't want you to be on your own, you know. I worry.

[dawn_is_breaking]

I appreciate that.

[She says and gives her hand another squeeze.]

But, speaking of dating and things like that.....are you and Gar finally a thing?

[feelthedarkness]

[ Rachel smiles and tucks some hair behind her ear. ]

Well, you know...it's complicated.

[dawn_is_breaking]

It can't be as complicated as the end of the world and it's a much better topic so come on. [She nudges Rachel playfully.]

Dish, girl. I want to hear it all.

[feelthedarkness]

Definitely a better topic but also not much time for romance when the world may be ending. Again. After, I don't know...if we survive, we'll see, right?

[ Rachel tries not to show how worried she is. ]

[dawn_is_breaking]

There's always time for romance.

[Dawn points out with a slightly sad smile.]

Especially if the world is maybe ending. Unlike some people who shall remain nameless [*cough*Dick*cough*] I think it's always best to tell people how you feel about them just in case something happens.

I would have been even more hurt if Hank had died and never knew how much I loved him.

[feelthedarkness]

Gar knows how I feel. I know how he feels. It's just...you know, not the right time.

[ Rachel looks sad at the mention of Hank. That never should have happened. She doesn't know how they can ever really get over something like that. ]

[dawn_is_breaking]

Have you two kissed yet?

[feelthedarkness]

It just hasn't been thr right time.

[dawn_is_breaking]

What would be the right time for you?

[feelthedarkness]

When the world isn't potentially ending?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Okay okay.

[A pause and she smiles at Rachel.]

But you've thought about kissing him, right?

[feelthedarkness]

[ Rachel chuckles and turns a little red. ]

Yeah, of course.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Would he be your first kiss?

[feelthedarkness]

[ She tucks some hair behind her ear again and bites her lip. ]

Is it that obvious?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Only a little. I think Gar would be a great first kiss.

You'd probably be his first too.

[feelthedarkness]

You think so?

What was your first kiss like?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Yes.

[Dawn chuckles and pushes back some of her hair.]

My first kiss was nice, it was with a girl in my ballet class. We were thirteen and good friends and one day after practice we started talking about kissing and we thought 'hey let's just try it instead of waiting for a boy to do it to us'.

Turns out I liked it and thus began my slow realization that I was bisexual.

[feelthedarkness]

Your first kiss was with a girl?

[ Rachel's a little shocked by this, but glad Dawn is being open with her. ]

What was that like?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Yes, it was.

[She says with a smile.]

And it was really soft, shy and very sweet. We kissed a few more times after that but then she moved away.

[feelthedarkness]

I'm sorry she moved away.

[dawn_is_breaking]

It's okay, it happens and at least I'll always remember her fondly.

[feelthedarkness]

If she hadn't moved away, do you think you would have dated? Like...officially?
