May 10, 2009- Yu Morinaga & Masato Aizawa w/ Maria da Silva (in spirit) celebrating Aizawa's 29th birthday. The first birthday after the death of this mother. Morinaga's daughters (absolutely smitten with Aizawa) sent Morinaga to deliver the birthday cake they made for him, knowing that he'd be lonely sitting home alone without Maria. Happily, Aizawa accepts the cake and forces his aniki to have some with him despite the older man not having much of a sweet tooth himself. While eating, Aizawa makes his intentions known that he intends to visit the fight club that Morinaga runs later that evening but he's informed him that he's been banned for the day as he can't have Aizawa using his club to blow off steam while grieving but Aizawa refuses to accept this. Morinaga offers him a deal as a birthday gift, he'll allow him one match at the club if he can get through him. The catch is, Aizawa has never once beat Morinaga in a fight.

WIP Wednesday - Closed (9/6/23) | Math Nerd AU
"I spoke with Abby and got the okay." Nicky says coming and sitting himself down next to Aaron at the cafeteria table.
"Nicky, you're going to have to be more specific about what you're talking about." Aaron says poking at the peas on his plate.
"Those won't get eaten unless you actually put then in your mouth." Kevin points out to Aaron who flips him the bird in response.
"My mom and dad are going to come to the team dinner." Nicky answers with a bright smile.
"Uncle Luther and Auntie Maria?" Aaron asks in surprise.
"No his other parents." Andrew rolls his eyes mixing his mashed potatoes and his corn.
I've been rewatching s3 and the early half of s3 was actually wild and it felt like almost unnecessarily cruel? especially to the gay poc characters..like the way they treated mercedes with the whole wss and troubletones storyline boils my blood to this day 😒
the sanatana storyline was especially awful and other people have already covered how bad it was way better than I could but the glee writers handled it was actually disgusting
you’re actually so right about them being wildly effeminophobic to kurt in s3 😑😑 like it felt extremely out of place and just nasty
also i think kurt and mercedes should have been allowed to kill sebastian and mr schuester with hammers for the effeminophobic and rascist bullshit they had to deal with
So, disclaimer, I haven't reached season 3 yet I had watched the scene of Bieste, Emma and Artie being horrible to Kurt because it popped up on youtube. But I did watch it when it came out and I DO remember that season 3 filled me with rage, and this is absolutely why.
I don't think Glee handled any storyline well, maybe Kurt getting bullied, but even then I think it was only because Chris (happy bday king) is genuinely good at acting.
And GOD they never gave Mercedes a genuine storyline they gave her one about tater tots and one about her being 'lazy'.
And not to get back on my 'I hate ryan murphy' narrative, but you could tell which cast members he didn't like by how they treated their characters (Chris, Dianna, Amber, and Naya) their characters were always dragged through the mud, they were always painted as doing something wrong even if they were completely justified
(i.e Santana slapping Finn because she was OUTTED and her getting in trouble for it, Kurt not getting into NYADA even though he did amazing, Schue yelling at Quinn even though she genuinely needed help, and Mercedes being called lazy and never getting what she rightfully deserved (like the Maria role)
You're absolutely right about everything, and my apologies for ranting once again those four are my favorite characters and I'm very passionate about how shitty they were treated.

Summary: Maria, your mama’s girlfriend, doesn’t come to your birthday party due to work, the day after you hear a conversation between her and your mama that you don’t fully understand. Two days later you receive an envelope as your birthday present. And you couldn’t be happier.
@tynix I hope this is ok!
You first met Maria Hill before the fall of SHIELD when you were around seven.
She was a nice woman, she was stern and strict, but she was nice.
She was your Mama's commander. And she was surprisingly great with kids, something that the majority of the SHIELD agents and officials couldn't wrap their heads around. Tony Stark's jaw dropped to the ground when he had seen her interacting with you and four of Clint Barton's children, Kate, Lila, Cooper and Nathaniel.
You never understood the 'Hardass Hill' nickname she was given.
When SHIELD fell and after your Mama had avoided prosecution for the files she had leaked life changed, but not for the worst, well not really.
It was hard to get used to. Instead of your mom having her own apartment she took Tony up on his offer to move to the tower. That was the best part.
You were introduced to so many new people, all of your mama's team mates became your uncles, even. You loved it at Avengers tower.
The original six Avengers weren't the only occupants of the tower, of course. There was Helen Cho, Nick Fury, Pepper Potts and most importantly Maria Hill.
You didn't know what it was about Maria that made you like her so much, you supposed it was just because she was so damn cool.
You would even argue that she was just as cool as your Mama. Which you would never say to her face, of course.
A few times a week while you were watching TV in the common room Maria would come in and sit down on the couch with you along with a bowl of pop corn. She would place it in between the two of you. Now looking back it was clearly an act to win you over, and it worked.
It was an unspoken tradition by this time. You supposed that you were both friends. That made you happy. You liked being friends with Maria.
After two or three months of that, your mama started to join in, she would sit in between the two of you with the popcorn on her lap. This made the two of you sit closer to her.
When you were all in the middle of the movie 'Up' you noticed they were both holding hands. You looked up at your Mama, and then over to Maria, and go gave them both the traditional Romanoff smirk. It seemed your Mama like Maria even more than you did.
It didn't take long for Maria and Natasha to finally tell you they were dating, and you couldn't have been happier.
Today was the day you turned eleven, and you wanted to spend the day with both your Mama and your Masha, but there was one problem.
Maria wasn't there.
You woke up bright an early, which sent Natasha's plans to make you breakfast in bed out the window.
"Mama?” You spoke softly as Natasha placed your blueberry pancakes in front of you on the kitchen island.
"Detka?" She replied as she took a seat beside you, placing her hand soothingly on your back as she did so.
"Where's Masha?"
"Masha feels bad she couldn't be here this morning, malysh. She had some really important work to do for Fury"
You nodded. "Will she be back for my party?"
Natasha spooned nutella onto your pancakes. "| don't know, but what I do know is that she'll definitely try"
You accepted that. "You're staying here, though. No working today? Since it's my birthday"
She leaned in and placed a kiss on your crown. "Not even if the battle of New York was to repeat itself this very second would I ever think of leaving you today"
You wrapped her arms around her neck and she pulled you onto her lap, you may be eleven but you would never be too old for moments like these.
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵
Somehow your Mama had been convinced to allow Tony to plan your party (which was a surprise up until yesterday when Tony had excitedly let it slip)
It was a fun party (how could it not be Tony Stark had thrown it, he never spared expense on anything) an everyone had a great time, including yourself.
But there was just one thing missing, one thing Tony had failed to get but something he couldn't buy.
Masha.
You had kept telling yourself that she would show up, despite knowing that there was a possibility she wouldn't.
And it hurt a bit. But you were a big girl. You were 11.
You slept in your mama's bed with her that night. It had been early morning when she dragged you upstairs from the party when your eyes started to droop, you got dressed and hopped straight into her bed.
It wasn't unusual for the two of you to sleep in the same bed.
It was around six am when Maria arrived back to the apartment. She seemed exhausted, also.
But she tried not to wake you and your Mama as she got herself into sleep clothes.
But you were awake anyway. Some sort of hurt in your chest.
Maria got into bed on the other side of you, your back was to her, your hand was holding Natasha's.
She placed a firm kiss on the back of your head, afterwards going to pull your 'sleeping' form closer to her in what would have been a cuddle, but that was the last thing you wanted from her right now, she hadn't even wished you a happy birthday yesterday, hadn't asked Mama to pass on a messege and/or hadn't even left a card or anything.
You slowly slid away to escape her reach and wrapped yourself around your Mama, who pulled you closer to her, not understanding what was going on and wrapped her arms tightly around you.
You didn't see Maria's face, but for some reason you felt guilty and hoped that hadn't hurt her feelings too bad, you just wanted to prove a point
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵
The next morning when you woke up they were both gone, but the blanket had been pulled tightly over you.
You slowly got up, shivering as your feet touched the cold floor.
You walked quietly into the kitchen, with the thin blanket Natasha kept at the end of her bed around you.
"I really just don't understand why they keep fighting us on this! All they have to do is sign some stupid papers."
"I know but it's not simple, she's your daughter, Nat."
"I know but Y/N never wants to go to back Russia again. You know what happened to us there."
That perked your interest, they didn't seem to notice you at the door, so you hid behind it and listened.
"It's not that simple, she was born and... raised... in that country and she's still a minor. They still have a bit of control"
"Raised." Nat scoffed.
"Either way, very soon we'll get the turnout we want and her guardianship will be granted, and then we can have our own little family"
You put the pieces together in your mind because of that one sentence. Maria's words hitting far too close to home. You seemed to be misunderstanding.
"I think we could get a better trainer, too. She needs to know these things if-"
You stood at the door, eyes filling with tears and shaking slightly.
It was then Natasha noticed you.
"How's my eleven-year-old doi-"
"You're sending me back?!"
Natasha looked at Maria wide eyed and then back to you.
"What?"
"You're getting rid of me! You're sending me back to Russia! You're sending me back there! You don't want me anymore!" You cried.
Natasha almost jumped off her chair and raced in front of you.
"Y/N no no no no no!"
"You don't want me! Now that I'm older! They want me back there!!!!" You were breathing faster now, not really thinking clearly.
"Y/N stop it, we're having a miscommunication!"
Maria was making her way over to the two of you.
"No! You said you wanted to start your own little family! I heard you!" You cried, stepping back from the two women who were kneeling down to you, Natasha had her arms out. "You don't need me anymore! You don't want me anymore!"
“Sweetheart come here! Let me hug you, we all need to calm down!"
"No! You said that the guardianship would be granted! And you nodded! You're giving me back to Russia!"
"Bambina that's not what I meant." Maria said softly, "And even if it was, that's not how it works."
Natasha went to move closer to you. "Baby-"
“Now that you have your new life you don't want anything that reminds you of your old one, of there! That means you don't want me." You were spiralling now, your chest was closing in, it felt harder and harder to breath.
Natasha gasped, as if the very thought appalled her, but you didn't buy it, you weren't in the right state of mind.
"Y/N, you're the reason I got through all that! If it wasn't for you-"
"You're lying!"
"No, sweet pea, l'm not." Natasha put two hands on your shoulders, causing you to sob.
"Please don't send me back there Mama!"
Natasha's heart broke. "I don't wanna go back, they were bad."
It was Masha who picked you up and placed you on her lap.
The three of you sat on the floor of the kitchen at 10AM, and there was already a child who was hyperventilating uncontrollably and two adults who were both shook after the events.
Maria rubbed your back. Turning so you couldn't see the tears on Natasha's cheeks.
"I'm sorry I scared you" Maria murmured. "I could've worded that better."
You hiccuped and nodded. "t's ok, just don't send me back."
Maria gave you a squeeze. "Never."
︵‿︵‿���♡୧‿︵‿︵
You were still startled an hour later. Natasha sat you on her lap while she sat in on the couch, you both watched Harry Potter.
You were both quiet.
"You're the best part of my life." Natasha told you. "Even the thought of not seeing you everyday, not having you with me, not having you safe and protected, it makes me sick, physically sick."
You nodded. "Я люблю вас."
Natasha smiled. "я тоже тебя люблю."
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵
Two days later you sat at the kitchen island eating your cheerios, what happened a few days ago still fresh in your mind, neither Nat or Maria spoke about it, which you were thankful for.
Maria entered the kitchen with files in her had, a usual thing considering what she did for a living.
She sat across from you, pulling out the box of cornflakes.
"I'm sorry I was so busy, bubs."
You nodded. "It's ok. I get it."
"It's not ok. I didn't get you a card or even a present."
"That doesn't matter, Masha." You insisted.
Maria smiled at you knowingly and waved the envelope she entered with. "So I guess you don't want this?"
You went to say something but quickly shut your mouth, making Maria have to suppress a laugh.
You didn't want to make it too obvious. But boy you wanted that envelope.
"I wouldn't mind. You already got it which I'm thankful for."
Maria snorted. "Here."
You tried not to be too quick in grabbing the envelope, but you were almost positive you failed.
You ripped it open and pulled out the letter inside.
Although your eyes darted to Maria once they scanned the document.
"What does this mean?" You didn't know wether to believe this or not, it seemed to be too good to be true.
*It means that me, you and your mama will be a real, legal, little family. Just the three of us. But only if you want this."
You stared at Maria for a good thirty seconds, although you could feel her getting more and more nervous the more you stayed quiet.
"Is this what you were talking bout with Mama the other morning?"
Masha nodded. "it is, Bubba."
"So... when you said that you and Mama could have your own little family. You meant the three of us. Not just you and Mama."
"Exactly, sweetheart."
"So you don't wanna send me back?"
"Never in a million years."
You smiled. "Can I call you Mumma now, Masha?"
Maria grinned wildly. "Of course you can, my birthday girl.

— childhood stretches behind you like a trail of landmines ⸻ one wrong step and the whole thing is set to explode. there is a vague remembrance of a happier childhood , of a loving mother and father , a baby sister who'd just begun to take her first steps. you remember the warmth of their embrace , the happy squeals of children's laughter. leading a pack of neighbourhood children , causing trouble and mayhem , a mind sharp and full of imagination. well no one could have imagined where it would one day lead. cold tunnels and the makings of a machine , they grab you in broad daylight , and that's the last of sunlight you'll see in a long , long time.
— seven years old and the perfect test subject. you don't know it yet , but it is the curse of genetics that births you with a target on your back. your mother heralded ⸻ genius , your father utterly brilliant. a duo of unmatched aptitude who brought forth ideas and change. what a terrifying thing it was , to leave all that possibility in the hands of a couple that would strive to better society and the world around them. who believed in equality and using their abilities for the greater good. and while they could not use your parents , they could certainly make do with you.
— small limbs strapped down to a metal table ⸻ you remember how it chilled you to the bone. cutting and carving , they break you down down down , and then they begin to rebuild. in a shape most suited , a sharpened tool to be used. here your childhood is awash in red , in lengthy stretches of pain and power. ( the more you lose , the more you gain. not for yourself , but for those who expect the most from you. unwilling and unyielding , but you crumble just the same ).
— soldiers have no use but to follow orders as they are given. ten , fourteen , time passes in flashes of glitching lights and your scars proudly earned. at least that's what they tell you ⸻ praising , encouraging. the words a twisted knife to turn and turn and turn , to thank them after they've sliced it free. missions counted by the lives you've taken , and never once do you come back incomplete , unsuccessful. beautifully crafted and wonderfully honed , their creature of death and desolation that will always deliver.
— twenty four years old and ready to report , you are blood stained and clutching at life in a mission gone astray. wounded to a point you've never been before , there is a face on the billboards that catch your eye and call forth memory. buried beneath the teachings of your handlers , beyond the brutality of your youth. your mother's face is a glowing beacon in the dark of the night. hidden within the shadows and standing beneath its light , there is a ⸻ spark , recognition. who is she , who is she , who is she. why does your heart ache and your head split , blood pounding hard as it pools ? your handler finds you and drags you home , but this is where you learn to remember , begin to forget to forget.
— freedom comes ⸻ swift and sadistic. an unexpected plunge into the deep end as your fight tooth and nail to experience. to experience. twenty six years old , and your never forget your mother's face. as you spend every single second you do not have on missions researching and obsessing. daniela estrada and her family ( your family , something haunted screams ) , and the curiosities of the daughter they'd lost , the daughter that remained. you can never go home , but red eye cannot remain home either. one last mission , and you cut out your chips and trackers. you break something free , not yourself , not yet , but this is a start.
* & ◞ 𝐢𝐢𝐢 . 𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒 .
— has been on the run from red eye for the past seven years ! a lot of this time was spent with sav running around the globe , hopping from place to place to keep ten steps ahead and under the radar , but also kept busy simply exploring. with twenty years spent under the organization's thumb , she's been sheltered from much of anything that they deemed unimportant for her to know. so much of this time has been sav busy with her travels and ... soul searching ?? aiewjfnawef
— currently works for sentry solutions and has been for about two years. while she was trained to be a lean mean fighting machine , she's discovered self - fulfillment in being able to finally use her skills for good. she enjoys fighting , she's good at it , but now she can finally do it to protect and not harm.
— incredibly intelligent ! her parents were noted as both having genius level intellect , and sav was something of a child prodigy inheriting the best of both of them. and well , red eye very much took advantage of what she had to offer. from using her mind to help in their own research , to sending her on missions that required a keen mind. even after losing her left leg from the knee down , she aided in the development of her own prosthetic.
not even shipping wise I think shadow and Amy make a really interesting duo, and not just the "grumpy with the sunshine" dynamic either, like they're really similiar in a lot of ways actually, where they really understand each other but also can really butt heads in an interesting, fun way too. and Ik for the most part their interactions thru the whole of sonic history is very little but the moments we get are rarely*, not never ofc haha, violent even when they're on opposing sides. obviously, ik that not a lot of energy is going into their interactions, but it does leave me with lots of like implicit information, like that shadow really doesn't see amy as an enemy, and vice versa, and that they have a mostly silent regard and respect for each other. and care too, there's very few other characters besides cream and Maria that I can think of that shadow isn't overtly apathetic or rough to, and considering their interactions are few and far between I count that as pretty consistent.
like I'm thinking abt their interactions mainly from sonic adventure 2 and their limited dialogue from sonic riders, and at most they have playful digs to each other in riders but really it's so friend coded and I just love it, and adventures 2 makes me wanna cry bc it just seems like amy just sees Shadow for who is he or what he's trying to be right off the bat (fuck u sonic x for taking that moment from me ill never forgive uuuuuuu) and now we have this murder of sonic the hedgehog that yes I DO consider Canon thanks for asking lol and again with the subtext, that not only has shadow come to her bday party and tho yeah he didn't bring a gift at first he knew she liked hot honey (aka they clearly converse casually to get info like that, or at the least he's interested in her enough to keep that sort of information on his mind) and got her tickets and after expressing how he didn't care for them AGREED TO GO WITH HER!! Listen, at base level they're besties Idgaf, but I'm on a higher level than most ppl so Ik theyre in love and I'm v happy for them uwu
anyway give them a tv show adventure or comic or whatever idc I just wanna see more of them
I have a NSFW question, so please be aware!
*Kisses Maria's forehead and quickly leaves the room before she murders me*
Thank you.
Well Happy advance Bday Gift from me Friend!
So I decided to make this snippet very cute and corny at the same time.
I hope you enjoyed it :) Also sing along lol.
(Maria's POV)
Maria's body trembled with exertion as she pushed herself to the limits of her physical and mental strength. Beads of sweat dripped from her furrowed brow, mingling with the sharp sting of determination in her eyes. Every breath she took was a battle cry, fueling the fire burning within her.
The silver sticks in her hands felt weightless, an extension of her very being. With each swing, they sliced through the air with a swiftness that defied comprehension. The clashing of metal reverberated through the training room, a symphony of power and precision. Maria's muscles screamed in protest, but she ignored their pleas, channeling her pain into every strike.
Her senses were heightened, the smell of sweat and leather filling her nostrils, mingling with the metallic tang of anticipation. The room seemed to pulse with energy, the air charged with electricity. She could taste victory, tantalizingly close, as she danced through the intricate steps of her training routine.
Then she brought the sticks together and extending it into a staff, twirling it faster and faster in her fingertips before bringing it behind her back and settling into a stance. She swept her arms out and slammed the staff onto the floor, creating a resounding thud that seemed to shake the entire room.
She leaned close, eyes darting to her side, body taut and tensed. Something was wrong, a creeping dread settling in the pit of her stomach. The hairs on the back of her neck stood on end, then the door to the training room burst open and figure came rushing in and closing it behind them. "Tarnish?" she asked curious and concerned at the same time.
Tarnish who always exudes charisma and confidence is now shaken like a leaf and sweating profosuly. She gasped and went up to him. "Whats wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost? Who followed you?. Tarnish's mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out. His body was still shaking as his gaze darted wildly around the room. He let out a low groan, clutching his side where a dark stain had begun to spread across his shirt. "Maria I need to tell you something!" they gasp and clutching their wounded side.
Maria lean close and using her body so that Tarnish can lean on to her for support. "Tarnish what wrong tell me?". Tarnish slowly eases down and put their back on the wall. Then Tarnish lean forward, blood dripping from his mouth. "Maria you must be brave, it's a doozy" he whispers urgently. She stares at them, fear rising in her throat. She tried to make sense of his words, but all she could see was the blood and the fear in his eyes. "What are you talking about?" she cried.
Then without any hesitation, Tarnish rush forward and kissed Maria on the forehead. "Bullseye!" they say laughing and moving to Maria's side and opening the door and exiting it. Maria is left shell shocked and confused."Tarnisshhhhhhhhhh!" she screamed.
She runs after Tarnish, seeing the end of their jacket biwlloing before diappreing on a ahllway. "I will whoop your ass till kingdom come!" Maria curses and give chase.
Then apporaching the turn, she saw Tarnish entereda room and closing it with a bang. She rashead foward and bursted in.
Then pausing before she reached Tarnish, her senses were overwhelmed. The space was dark and dusty with a the right light to see everything, with cobwebs festooning every corner. But what stunned Maria was the banner that was hanging in the middle it reads. "Happy Valentines Day!" then a music started to play in the air with Tarnish dancing and singing.
If you're alone and you need a friend
Someone to make you forget your problems
Just come along baby take my hand
I'll be your lover tonight
Whoa oh whoa oh
This is what I wanna do
Whoa oh whoa oh
Let's have some fun
Whoa oh whoa oh
One on one just me and you
Whoa oh whoa oh
Boom boom boom boom
I want you in my room
We'll spend the night together
From now until forever
Boom boom boom boom
I wanna go boom boom
And spend the night together
Together in my room
Whoa oh whoa oh
Everybody get on down

Vengaboys are back in town

Whoa oh whoa oh
Let's have some fun
Whoa oh whoa oh
One on one just me and you
Whoa oh whoa oh
They started to dance with hips swaying, legs dipping up and dwon and fingers near their chest and forming a heart shape. Tarnish is acting like those Japanese anime dancers that Maria she's in T.V. so it made her giggle a little but she quickly composes herself.
Tarnish begins to advance and moving their way toward Maria. The room seems to shift with each move they make, colors dancing and swirling, making the world into a glorious mess. Maria stares at their soulful eyes, a warmness creeping over her body, and a shiver racing up her spine. "What are you doing?" she ask albeit disgusted and touched at their gesture.
"Remember the time that we have a mission in Paris during that summer festival," Tarnish asks sheepishly. "Yeah, you caught me crying and my ice cream had melted. I wasn't upset because of the rain. I was homesick and missing my parents. But then you walked up to me, and offered me a flower. I thought you were so cute, that I just wanted to keep talking with you for the rest of the night. That's when we became best close friends. But also remember that moment when we danced under the
moonlit night on that gazebo? And we were the only ones there, and we twirled and spun, and suddenly you just leaned in and kissed me.
Maria blinked. Her mind was reeling, she could feel her heart pounding in her chest. She'd always been attracted to Tarnish, but she never imagined they would share the same feelings.".
"Well, I know you probably thought I was just being silly or messing around, but that kiss meant a lot to me. It was my first real kiss. And to this day, I never regretted it." Tarnish's voice had dropped to a whisper, their words weaving a spell over Maria. She found herself closing the gap between them, their bodies just inches apart. "I was afraid to tell you how I felt. I was afraid you wouldn't feel the same way. And, to be honest, I wasn't sure if I wanted to commit to anything. But now, I see how silly I was being. Spending all these years loving you, but too afraid to admit it. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I love you, Maria."
A slow smile spread across Maria's face, and she felt a rush of emotions welling up inside of her but she crossed her arms she's not yet ready to crack her tough facade just yet. "Really?" she ask voice flat and even. "Yes," Tarnish said nervously.
"Uh huh!" Maria looked into Tarnish eyes,!
"You may have hit me with a few corny jokes and pranks today, but you also swept me off my feet with your song and dance number. I can't tell you how touched I was by your thoughtfulness and your heartfelt words.".
"I can't believe this is actually happening," Tarnish said, their hands running through Maria's hair. But Maria swat their hands away. "I didn't say I agreed to your love!" she clicked her tongue.
"NO FAIR!" Tarnish pouts. "Even though I did that dance just for you?"
"Especially when you did that dance!" Maria deadpans, before bursting into laughter. "But really, that was very sweet of you. No one's ever done anything like that for me before."
"Then maybe you should take a chance with me," Tarnish teased. "I bet you can make me see fireworks."
"As long as I don't have to see another dance of yours," Maria snarked. "But seriously, I'm happy that you shared this with me."
"You're not happy yet," Tarnish laughed. "Wait until you see what I have in store." Then without warning, Tarnish planted their lips against Maria's. Maria was taken aback by the suddenness, but after a moment, she closed her eyes and let the feeling wash over her.
They leaned into the kiss, the world around them melting into a blur of sensations. Maria could feel the warmth of Tarnish's breath, the faint tickle of their fingers resting gently on her shoulders. She never imagined that a kiss could be so powerful, that a single moment could change the course of her entire life. Then she steps back and raised a hand and bitch slap Tarnish on the cheek. "Ouch!" Tarnish says rubbing their cheek with a sly grin on their lips.
"No kissing without my permission!" Maria chastise them playfully.
"Whatever you say, boss."
"Now then, why don't we go catch a movie or maybe grab some lunch?" Tarnish suggested. "Sure, why not?" Maria agreed, and they headed for the door.
"By the way," Maria added. "This was the best Valentine's Day gift anyone's ever given me."
"And you haven't seen anything yet my loving side.!"
With a laugh, Maria reached out and took Tarnish's hand in her own, and they walked out into the chilling moonlight, the scent of the city and fresh air wafting to her nose.
