So much could change in a week. You could fall in love, and have your heart broken, and meet up with a cat and be given more power and responsibility, and try to fix your broken heart…all at the same time.
Kari was going back to the meeting spot that she shared with Stellerite, and was planning on making this something quick. She was donating energy, and that was all…she wasn’t going to keep falling for this lieutenant, wasn’t going to let herself get dragged down into some sort of…sex based…whatever.
Just because she was lonely, it didn’t mean that she should fling herself on everyone who kissed her…and showed interest in her…
She sighed, holding the crocheted scarf that she had made for the lieutenant in her hands.
…Stella had never even bothered to wear it…she almost felt stupid trying to bring it back to her…but…
…she was donating energy. That was all. If only it were possible to turn one’s brain off completely and stop thinking. But, she supposed if she did that, she would be dead.

After Kari had run off on her, Stellerite wasn't sure that she would see her again but she showed up at the meeting spot, this time fifteen minutes early, in case the senshi did. Already she had a little plan in mind, of how to win back the woman's affection.
Things had spiraled too quickly for her to do damage control and she cursed her decision to be outright honest.
Kari had run off so quickly, that she'd taken the scarf so carefully knitted for her. Another disappointment because the workmanship had been so lovely and she would have liked it now, the night air incredibly chilly.
Goosebumps littered her arms and she ran a slender hand over them. The thrill of a nearby aura had her spine tingling when she realized that it was too strong to be her precious, breakable senshi.
Except it wasn't.
"Kari!" She called, pushing off the ledge she'd found a perch on. "You got a new outfit." Blue eyes spotted the scarf. "Oh, good, you brought my scarf. When you took off last time, you were still wearing it. I was hoping you'd forgive me. I wasn't as kind to you as I should've been beautiful."

Boundaries. She had to keep boundaries. She was here for nothing more than to donate some energy and then give the scarf back and get out of there. That was all she was here to do. That was all.
Without a word, Kari held the scarf out to Stella and tried to keep eye contact, she really did, but after only a few second, her eyes fell to the ground. “Yeah. That’s fine. You didn’t get my energy last time, so I figure I owed it to you to give you some tonight. So, let’s go ahead and get on with it. I don’t want you falling behind on your quota…”
She called her beautiful again, and the word made her heart thump hard against her chest…but she had to ignore it, for her own sake. “Yeah, I did get a new outfit…some cat I guess thought I deserved a reward…I don’t know, I’m still just as useless as ever so I don’t understand why she did that.”

Carefully, Stellerite took the scarf, wrapping it around her neck as she pouted at the now super senshi. "You're mad at me," she said, sounding forlorn with those blue eyes wide. "Kari, sweetheart," she tried, swallowing hard like the idea of the woman being upset with her was too much to bear. "You know I like you right?"
She reached for her hands, because she felt like if she reached for the girl's hands.
"You look lovely," she let herself look over the new uniform, "and you're hardly useless. You make me happy." She bit down on her bottom lip and sighed. "I was so worried I wouldn't get to see you again, that maybe you hated me, but you don't right? Oh please say you don't." Her eyes started to water.

She knew that Stella liked her, she got that…but liking someone was different than wanting to be in a relationship and…and she wasn’t going to let herself forget that. Right? She wasn’t. Not even when Stella took her hands, because she obviously couldn’t stop the lieutenant from taking her hands…and it felt so good to have her hands held…
Kari was going to stay quiet, she wasn’t going to give in to the other woman, she wasn’t going to just…buckle so easily.
“Of course I don’t hate you, Stella…I couldn’t hate you…” The words were out of her mouth before she even had half a chance to stop them, and she felt exhausted.
“I uh…I have some things to do, so please…if you could just take the energy…I don’t want to bother you for longer than I have to…” Lies. All lies…but it was…very uncomfortable to be standing here, staring at the ground when the biggest crush she had ever had held both her hands and was…being so nice…

Stella was pouting, stepping forward to crowd Kari's space a little more, letting go of her hands to brush hair out of the other woman's face, tucking her hair behind ears and running her fingers down soft cheeks until they traveled down her neck so she could press the tips into the nape.
"Please don't hate me," she begged, "I couldn't take it if you did."
Purposely, Stella's gaze dropped to Kari's mouth and she licked her lips. "You know you don't bother me right? I really like spending time with you," she sighed closing her eyes as though looking at the senshi was too difficult.
"I'd like to kiss you, is that okay? Or am I not allowed to do that anymore? I thought...I thought we were going to date."

Kari wished she would just stop touching her…just drain her and let her go, that was all she wanted. The more that Stella touched her like this…the harder it was going to be to keep her pushed away…already she felt as though she was melting from the gentle caress of the lieutenants fingers and her eyes unwillingly rose to look at her, trying to drink in the beautiful woman who seemed to have really…sort of fallen for her…
But…what did that mean?
When Stellerite mentioned the fact that they were going to date…what? “B-but I thought…” Damn. Now she had shown interest, all of her walls crumpled and tears sprang to her eyes. “S-so you want to date me? I’m so confused with you, Stella…please don’t play games with me…”
She could handle just being kissed to be drained, that was nothing, that was just Stella doing her job…but when she said things like that…she couldn’t handle that…she couldn’t handle how the hope sprang to her heart and her first instinct was to start proclaiming love for this woman…that was just so…
…emotions were really stupid.

Her head tilted just so, purposeful confusion rippling across her face. "I want to date you, but...I can't be your girlfriend. Not now, not while you wear," she gestured to the senshi uniform. Carefully, she leaned forward, pressing her lips against each corner of those tear-filled eyes.
"And I can't take you home with me, there's too much risk, but we can kiss and spend time together, and," Stellerite paused to press gentle lips against the woman's cheek, "we'll go to the diners that are open late enough for both of us. We'll do everything we can that people do. I know it's not what you want, but it's the best I can give right now."
She brushed her lips gently against Kari's own, hoping to leave her wanting for more.
"Please, I think something special's between us."

“I don’t…I don’t understand what the difference is…” The tears finally spilled out of her eyes and down her cheeks as her lips moved, the words a whisper as she finally just gave in, her arms wrapping around Stellarite, pulling her as close as possible.
It all sounded good, and she was exhausted by trying not to care. “Just…just take my energy please…let’s just do what we came here to do okay…?”
Kari didn’t pull away though, in fact she pressed even closer, trying to make the kiss last longer…trying to make everything last longer…
God she wanted this.

Stella wondered what type of life Kari led if she didn't know what the difference between dating and being someone's girlfriend. Then she wondered if she was the woman's first kiss, which was a deliciously juicy tidbit if she was. "Kari, sweetie, don't cry," Stella cooed, drawing her into another, longer kiss that had nothing to do with energy draining.
"We have to be casual, not exclusive," she tried to explain, pressing kisses against the senshi's cheek. One for every tear that was shed. "It doesn't mean that you're not important, just that I can't commit to you. Not yet, anyway. But maybe, one day?"
Another false truth, but the lieutenant did her best to sound utterly sincere about it. The truth was, unfortunately, that Stellerite would never settle for a singular person.

Finally, Kari began to relax. Really relax, and the tears stopped escaping her eyes. She just nodded and rested herself against Stellerite, still not really understanding…when there had started to be a difference between dating someone and being their girlfriend…didn’t you go around saying I’m dating so and so? Or, so and so is my girlfriend? Weren’t they interchangeable words? When had they become different concepts…and why had nobody told her.
“Okay…” She said finally, closing her eyes and giving a heavy sigh.
“I can live with that…” She still didn’t really understand it though…did that mean Stella was going to kiss other people? Flirt with them like this? Kari really wasn’t sure that her heart could take that kind of abuse. It was too fragile for all of this.

Stella did her best to kiss away Kari's tears, lips moving softly across the woman's cheeks and then, every now and again, pressing against her lips. Once the resignation came, she slid her arms across the woman's shoulders and pulled her down for a longer, more sensual kiss, then pressed their foreheads together as she smiled. "Good, because I don't want to lose you when I just got you."
Her hands found their way into those short brown and green locks, fingers twisting through the strands.
"Come on, cutie," she cooed, carefully edging them both backwards. "I wanna find a nice place for us to snuggle and make up for lost time." She leaned in for one more kiss, before she pulled back and ran her hands down Kari's front and sides until she found her hands. "I have some making up to do I think."

The more she was kissed, the more the whole thing just felt like some huge overreaction from her, and she was okay with that…because that’s all it had been…just her being stupid.
“Well…” Kari nodded, her cheeks pink from all of the kissing…especially from that last one. “I mean…I’m yours…and I’ve already forgiven you…it was my fault, I didn’t know…I’m sorry.”
The idea of more kissing was far too good to pass up and she allowed Stella to lead her. Quite honestly, she would allow Stella to lead her pretty much anywhere at this point…even though they weren’t…together…
…It was as close as she was going to get, so…she liked it.

I'm yours, Kari said and Stellerite had to work to keep the wolfish grin from spreading across her mouth like it wanted to. Eager little lamb, the lieutenant thought, squeeing the senshi's hands before she swung around, arm looping around the woman's waist and tucking her into her side.
"Don't worry cutie, I'm not mad," Stella cooed, leaning over to press her lips against the woman's throat. "I've still got you and that's what matters." Besides, now that her claws were sunk in nice and deep, she had no intention of letting go.
So, the blonde led her precious little brunette off somewhere secluded where she could get down to business without worrying about too many distractions.
