|Poses=:'''{{#var:23|Homura Akemi| (23)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's the evening after Madoka's run-in with one of Homura's Familiars, which Homura and Sayaka both showed up to destroy. Sayaka went her own way, but Homura and Madoka decided to spend a bit more time together.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tonight, spending more time together means going dancing in Homura's house. Homura... still hasn't chosen a bedroom, but she's starting to settle into one of the larger ones on the second floor. It's the room where Homura has decided to hang up the Madoclock, and it also has the biggest walk-in closet in the house. It's almost as big as another room itself, really!<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When they first came in, Homura took Madoka to that large closet and showed Madoka her wardrobe. There are a few school uniforms there, a number of casual shirts and pants on hangers, and as they get deeper into the closet the clothes get increasingly formal. Fancy dresses are on the left, and suits are on the right, from the perspective of the entrance.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Of the dresses, there are a number of different colors: Purples and blacks, obviously, but also reds and whites and rarely a light blue or odd color here or there. They tend to be the kinds of things that Homura would wear, frilly and lacey but also very form fitting and tailor made. They might be a little big on Madoka, but not by much.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura opts for a shimmering purple dress, heading off to the bathroom to change after giving Madoka a kiss on the cheek. "Pick whatever you like, dear!"<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A lot of the dresses are new. Some of Homura's clothes didn't survive the storm, and she had to replace them.

:'''{{#var:8|Madoka Kaname| (8)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Madoka's jaw almost hits the floor when she sees the walk in closet that's as big as her room. There's a tinge of jealousy but also a huge excitement because she gets to look through everything and even pick something out. Even though she's going in for fancy dresses she looks at the other things, even separating it out from the rest to peek at them a bit. She smiles brightly to Homura when she pulls out the purple dress for herself, happily accepting the kiss on her cheek. "That's going to look wonderful on you!"<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She then nods, "I'll pick something out... it might be a while, hehehe."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Once Homura goes to change she looks through the selection. She briefly considers showing up in a suit just to troll her but decides the joke wouldn't be worth not getting to dance around in a pretty dress. She almost ends up picking a strapless black dress, only to find 'strapless' and 'sized for someone slightly bigger than you' is a really bad combination. Okay, back to the drawing board!<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She changes in the room rather than the bathroom, eventually exiting wearing a body hugging red dress(slightly less body hugging on her in certain places!) with a long swishy skirt. The fact that it's very frilly and lacy and has a bow at the small of her back probably could have been assumed given what she effectively chose to dress herself in for her henshined outfit.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Madoka also took the time to find the matching red shoes. Her usual red ribbons work well enough so she has them in her hair, though she's wearing it down rather than in pigtails, a few small locks of hair grouped together at the back of her head and tied in place with the ribbons before falling down with the rest.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I'm ready~!" she calls in a singsong voice, looking around for Homura.

:'''{{#var:23|Homura Akemi| (23)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura probably wouldn't have minded seeing Madoka in a suit, or dancing with her like that, though it'd certainly have been a new look for her!<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When she hears Madoka's sing-songy voice, Homura calls out to Madoka, letting the sound of her voice be a guide. "Down here, Madoka-chan!"<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She giggles and stays just out of sight, though Madoka might see flashes of her dress as Homura leads her further and further down, calling out things like, "I'm here!" and "Overe here!" Her giggling might also give her away.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If Madoka has followed, then eventually Homura will lead Madoka down to her basement floor, which is decorated and separated into rooms like any other floor but still counts as a basement due to being below ground. "I'm waiting in here, Madoka-chan!"<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The door that Homura's voice comes from is the Den, and the door is slightly ajar. As one draws close they can hear the faint sound of classical music coming from inside. The light coming from the door is low, with various colors drifting across it.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When the door opens, Madoka would see Homura's arm extended forward, hand open and waiting to be accepted, or taken. Homura has her own personal discotheque set up here. The spinning disco ball lights play against her shimmering purple dress. Amethyst and gold studded earrings adorn her ears, and underneath the bottom hem of her dress one can see black high heels.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I've been waiting for you, Madoka-chan."

:'''{{#var:8|Madoka Kaname| (8)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Madoka looks around when she hears Homura's voice, but doesn't see her. She starts following the voice, seeing glints of purple. She giggles a bit herself, her gait changing to a jog though she really doesn't speed up much, arms swinging out to her sides as she playfully 'chases' Homura through the house. "Homura-chan! I'm coming to you!" She bounds carefully down the stairs, keeping just far enough away to see little glimpses as her girlfriend disappears from sight.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She slows down to a walk, carefully approaching the door to build up the sense of mystery Homura has created, peeking through the crack in the door before slowly pushing it open.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When she walks through she takes in the sight of Homura, eyes wandering up and down over her form, and blushes, "You look gorgeous, Homura-chan."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Her own dress is a darker color than she usually wears, giving her a somewhat different and slightly more mature look that in turn is betrayed by her youthful face.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She steps closer towards the extended arm, holding her hand out and lightly setting her fingers into her girlfriends hand, ready to be pulled in. Already she's swaying to the tune of the classical music.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I'm sorry for making you wait so long. But now I'm here, and I'm all yours."

:'''{{#var:23|Homura Akemi| (23)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As much as Homura loves Madoka's cuteness, a more mature look suits Madoka well, too. Homura's smile grows wider as she sees her girlfriend in a frilly and lacey red dress, and the red in the back. Homura closes her eyes and shakes her head at Madoka. "You are worth the wait, and you always have been." When her eyes open again, they softly gaze at Madoka.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She closes her hand around Madoka's, drawing closer to put her other hand on Madoka's hip. "You look lovely, my little angel, and I'm all yours too." Homura sways for a moment with Madoka, finding the beat before taking her first step. When she moves, it's as smooth as always, gliding across the floor with Madoka.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As the multicolored lights move across the floor and walls, Amy makes her presence known by leaping up to attack them. She paws at one many lights moving past her, pouncing one and jumping to another. Homura giggles, keeping her eye out for the cat's antics, but it's not long before the kitty is bursting out of the room, leaving the two dancers alone with each other.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I actually didn't see her in here at first. Amy didn't have this much room to run around in the apartment. I think she's happier here. She's certainly getting enough exercise!"<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura's eyes look deep into Madoka's as she dances with her. Right now, in this moment, she is content, and everything is right in the world.

:'''{{#var:8|Madoka Kaname| (8)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Madoka tempers her usual bright smile into a softer warm one as she steps in close to dance with Homura, keeping her gaze steady into her pretty purple eyes. "Thank you, my dear," she replies as she does, only to set her free hand gently on Homura's waist, enjoying the feel of Homura's on her hip.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I'd be jealous of how beautiful you are if I didn't know your beauty was mine to admire," she replies with a slightly widening smile, suppressing a giggle as she flirts. She lets Homura lead and follows her guidance, which means soon the two of them are gliding about the room with the pinpricks of disco light swirling over and around them.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The suppressed giggles come out playfully when Amy makes her presence known and starts attacking the lights, watching the kitten play and then dash out all at once. "She does seem happy. I was a little worried about the stairs but she looks like she's been handling them fine."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Madoka returns her soft pink eyes to Homura's once Amy leaves the room. She already felt alone with her, but now that the only other soul in the house has explicitly left the room she feels even more so. She scoots a quarter step closer as they dance, peering lovingly into Homura's eyes.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She gives a little squeeze to Homura's waist, merely because she enjoys it, and then lets her hand slip down to rest against her hip as well. It might not be usual for both partners to have the stance, which is why her hand was higher in the first place, but she decides she doesn't care for now so long as they're having fun. This dance is just for the two of them, right?<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She lets her eyes do the talking as Homura leads her around, swaying happily to the music. They tell Homura that she loves her and that every moment they spend together is a happy, well spent one. They say that she's grateful to be here with her, that dancing with her is a joy, and that oh my yes she was not kidding in at all about how good she thinks she looks right now.

:'''{{#var:23|Homura Akemi| (23)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'I'd be jealous of how beautiful you are if I didn't know your beauty was mine to admire.'<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura blushes lightly at Madoka's statement, but it might be hard to see it in the low lighting."If I knew you liked it that much, I would've flirted with you a long time ago." She presses a little closer against Madoka for a teasing moment, before pulling back to her former position.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Well, she was a stray before I picked her up. She probably learned how to adapt." Homura tilts her head slightly to the side. "She does enjoy the catnip, by the way."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Madoka draws closer, and Homura's eyelids close halfway. Social rules that apply to dancing competitions and formal dance parties obviously don't apply when they're home alone, and the two of them are free to do as they like. Especially since neither one of them has expressed even the slightest discomfort at being close to each other.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura sighs softly as the mood overtakes her, and she looks into the loving eyes of the one girl she'd give away everything for. "Are you sure I didn't actually die sometime recently and get sent to heaven? I mean there's an angel here, so I can't be sure."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She jokes, but things are so great right now compared to how things usually are for her. Homura really is in a completely different place.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Her eyes glow like coals of desire, yearning to hold, and love, and kiss the girl in her arms. There is nowhere else in the world she'd rather be right now, and her eyes reflect that.

:'''{{#var:8|Madoka Kaname| (8)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The lighting is low, but Madoka is close. She would be able to pick up the blush if she was looking for it, but instead she's keeping her gaze into Homura's eyes. "You could have flirted with me, but would you have told me it was flirting when I got confused?" she teases, making herself and her previous obliviousness the larger target of the joke. When Homura presses to her she enjoys it happily, trying not to look too disappointed as she returns to her previous position.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I'm glad she liked it. Did she turn into a wild kitty when she tried it?" She looks playful as she talks about the cat, trying to imagine her racing around before flopping down to roll in and kick at the catnip.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The thought that she would be uncomfortable at being close to Homura is almost ridiculous to Madoka at this point. If anything she has to remind herself that if she snuggles into Homura and falls on her that they'll no longer be dancing.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura's sigh brings another warm smile to her lips, and she makes a soft sound while nodding. "Mm, I'm sure. This angel came down from heaven for you; even paradise just wouldn't be the same without my Homura-chan to share it with."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Madoka sees the look in Homura's eyes and blushes softly, swaying in time to the music and dancing slowly across the open floor. The look of desire in those burning pools of purple excite her, her slightly coy mannerisms a quiet invitation to do as she likes. She does so herself, further violating a dancing 'rule' by moving her hand away from Homura's hip as they dance, allowing her girlfriend to lead her by the hand at her hip while still holding her hand. Using her now free hand she reaches up and brushes her fingers through Homura's long black locks of hair, drawing them through in a motion that might flip it if not for the enjoyably languid pace.

:'''{{#var:23|Homura Akemi| (23)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura giggles. Would she have told her? "I think I would've made it plain to you sooner or later. Not that your confusion doesn't add to your irresistible cuteness." She thinks back to the moment when she ''did'' make it plain to her. Was that really only three and a half weeks ago? Yeah, but a lot happened in that time.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura thinks back to Amy's reaction to the catnip. "Well, first she started purring a lot, and she kindof... pawed at my hand when I held out it out to her. After that she rolled around a lot and then bolted off. It was really cute to see " Homura shrugs. "Luckily, I don't have much in my house that's fragile, so it's fine if she goes a little crazy like that."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She coos softly at Madoka's response. "I'm happy you did, but now that you're here I'm not sure I'll ever want to let you go." She couldn't look away from Madoka's eyes if she wanted to, entranced as she currently is. Her smile gets just a little bit devilish. "We'll just have to make our own little paradise down here, my sweet little angel."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura closes her eyes as Madoka reaches up behind her, feeling the slight tug on the back of her head as Madoka runs her hands through her hair. Her soft hair tickles Homura's back as it slides against Madoka's hand. When Homura's eyes open again, she leans forward, pressing her lips against Madoka's, drawing the rest of her closer to her pink-haired girlfriend in the process.

:'''{{#var:8|Madoka Kaname| (8)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Madoka giggles, blushing more as her previous silliness is turned around and made into a compliment. That moment really was not quite a month ago. It was so long ago, but the memory is still so fresh in Madoka's mind. It was so surprising and overwhelming for her, but what happened immediately afterwards was like a wonderful dream.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Amy is such a cute kitty, I'm glad she liked her housewarming gift." She smiles when Homura mentions the potential for the cat to have gone a bit crazy from the catnip, which is kind of the point of giving it to her. "Hehe! I bet she was racing around and climbing all over things."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"That's good because I don't want you to. If anything tries to take me back to heaven I'm counting on you to keep me here with you!" Madoka smiles at Homura as she coos, only to add in one of her sweeter tones, "Though if you want to go up with me that would be okay too. I'm sure someone as wonderful as you would be more than welcome." The smile she's given right after gets her to laugh a little, "Oooh, that sounds nice. What kind of paradise do you want to make for me? The only thing I know about a paradise on Earth is that you'd have to be there."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She's then slightly surprised as Homura leans forward and kisses her, letting out a happy sigh through her nose and eagerly returning it, feeling Homura's lips pressing into hers for the first time tonight. She savors it completely, letting her eyes slide closed. When Homura draws her closer she presses her body warmly against her, letting her hand stay playing in silky dark hair, her forearm resting on Homura's shoulder.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The wonderful thing about having a private dancefloor is just how long you can move with your eyes closed without having to worry about bumping into anything.

:'''{{#var:23|Homura Akemi| (23)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura nods. "She's absolutely adorable. She's kept me company a lot through the years." This will be the first time she's seen Amy grow past the kitten stage, Homura thinks. Another milestone, and another sign that things are so much different now.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I heard her running all over the house for a while after that. A little while later she came back for more." Homura shakes her head. "She's so cute, though. Energetic, too. I'm just glad she has so much room to run around in now."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura's eyes draw towards the door, where Amy escaped from not too long ago. "This place is huge, though. Both for her and me. I'm not really used to living in a place like this, but it's such a convenient location." She shrugs, then she smiles at Madoka, "It's good that I have such a place though, since I never want to be without you."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura's hold on Madoka grows a little tighter, and Homura herself a little bolder. "Oh I won't let them. Anyone who wants to take you will have to go through me, and if you do go then I'll gladly go with you. I'll follow you anywhere, Madoka-chan."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What kind of paradise? "One where you and I can be together, to do what we like and be who we want. We can be there for one another, in both good times and bad, and no matter what happens we'll always have each other. Of course I'll be there, and so will you, my dear sweet Madoka-chan."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura still opens her eyes for most (but not all) of the time, since she's leading, but aside from a wall-mounted stereo system there's very little to run into. She happily dances around the floor with Madoka as her girlfriend plays with her hair. Homura probably wouldn't have dedicated a whole room to this if she didn't know she had a consistent dance partner... but she does, so she did, and it's turning out to be one of her best decisions yet.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I think if we could just dance like this all the time, or do whatever we want, like this... I think that'd be paradise for me. I wouldn't need anything more than that."

:'''{{#var:8|Madoka Kaname| (8)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Awww," comes the sweet sound from Madoka, finding it adorable that the kitten has been able to give Homura so much company through her difficult journey. "That's so sweet. It's good that you had someone to keep you company. Especially a sweet kitten who loves you~!"<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The house really is enormous; Madoka won't debate that. "I think even we would have room to run around if we wanted to," she notes playfully. Not that she condones running inside. That's fine for her little brother but it'd be bad manners for her!<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She gives a little shake of her head, "They'd have to get through me too, because I'd never let someone take me away from you like that willingly." She makes a soft hum when Homura explains to her and she nods, "That sounds good to me. Do whatever we like? Does that mean we'll be able to dance and kiss and cuddle as much as we want?" She lets out a very wistful sigh, opening her eyes to peer up into Homura's, "That sounds amazing. I really will always be here for you, to be happy with you in the good times and to comfort you in the bad ones. I couldn't stand having it any other way."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Madoka is plenty happy to let Homura guide her around, dancing as quickly or as slowly as she likes. The skirt of her dress swishes about as she moves, brushing against her legs and Homura's skirt, having been picked in large part for this reason. Her hand goes from playing with to softly petting over Homura's hair, the pink-haired girl giving her girlfriend a sweet smile because she really is letting her enjoy it freely.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Being with you is paradise, Homura-chan. I love you." She lifts up a bit on her toes and presses a soft kiss to Homura's lips. "I wonder if that's what love is, wanting nothing more than to be with someone else."

:'''{{#var:23|Homura Akemi| (23)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura smiles sheepishly as Madoka says that her relationship with her cat is cute. "Yeah... She is sweet. My own little lovable ball of fur." Homura giggles. She doesn't state that she probably wouldn't have made it as far as she has without Amy, but the thought crosses her mind. "I'm really lucky. I really do have such cuties in my life." With a bright smile, she adds, "Both my little kitten and my little angel."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura nods, swaying with Madoka in her arms, "Well, we certainly have enough room for a dance floor! ... and I still have a ton of other rooms that I'm not sure what to do with."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Leaning in, Homura responds, "That's exactly what it means. Kissing, cuddling, dancing, ice skating, singing, and whatever else we want to do." Her fingers adjust their grip on Madoka's hand, and her arm wraps around behind Madoka. "Neither would I."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura travels across the dancefloor with Madoka. It's just the one room, but it's a room all to themselves, and more than enough for Homura's purposes. Not to mention it being in the basement means that they can get a little crazy if they wanted to without disturbing anyone else in the house. Not that there's anyone else in the house, but that might change some day.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At least, Homura can think of a few people who might like access to a private dance floor.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura accepts the kiss happily, not even stopping her dance or losing the beat, continuing to sway with her partner even as they brush their lips together. "I love you too, Madoka-chan. I'm so happy being here with you. Thank you for asking me to dance. I'm having a wonderful time." Homura's voice is full of warmth for Madoka, as are her eyes. There's a bit of warmth in her cheeks too, but that's to be expected.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She considers. Is that what love is? "Maybe. At the very least, that's a large part of it. I know when I'm with you, I feel like I have something I never knew I needed before I met you."

:'''{{#var:8|Madoka Kaname| (8)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Getting called a cutie puts a smile and a blush on Madoka's face. "Hehehe... I think we're both very lucky to have you!" Her eyes sparkle as Homura makes such a bright smile. Seeing her girlfriend so happy fills her with warmth and happiness, and the pet name makes her feel excited and tingly. "Your little angel feels so loved and appreciated."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Madoka nods excitedly, "To think that we can come here and dance as much as we want, that's so incredible. You only moved in a few days ago but I really like your new house already!" Having a place to dance was her one big idea; she's honestly stumped on what to do with the rest of the space. Seven bedrooms! Seriously!<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As Homura tells her all the things they can do together in their personal paradise Madoka giggles happily, "That all sounds wonderful. I want to do all those things with you, Homura-chan. Your closet is big enough I feel like I could go shopping in it! Some day we'll have to spend time playing dress-up in it."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She shifts her grip on Homura's hand as well, easing a bit closer as the arm goes around her. She pulls her hand away from Homura's hair, finally, and rests it on her shoulder, getting a little more into the actual dancing as she's led around the floor. Her motions get a more exaggerated and a bit more whimsical; it's clear she's having a very good time.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Madoka looks up into Homura's eyes, "You're welcome. Thank you for saying yes and for being such an enjoyable dance partner. Even if you weren't I'd still have fun spending time with you like this, but dancing with you is so much fun." Her cheeks flush a little and she peeks up into Homura's eyes again, "Dancing with you, it really makes me feel beautiful."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'I feel like I have something I never knew I needed before I met you.'<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"That... that's almost exactly the same way I feel too, Homura-chan. I've always enjoyed spending time with friends, and I'd gotten a little taste of what romance could be like... With you it's not only both of those things, but something special and wonderful all it's own. I've already said this before, but I really did think it'd be hard for me to adjust to the idea of dating another girl."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She closes her eyes and gives a little shake of her head, "But in the end it was even easier than getting used to the idea of dating anyone at all. And I think... I think that's just because it's you. It's not that I don't appreciate that you're a girl; I think you're so beautiful, and we have so many more things in common because of that. But mostly... it's just because you're you, and I love you and care about you so much. Now that I really know everything you went through and how I always cared for you everything comes so easily. I want to be here for you always, and give everything of myself to you." She bites her bottom lip a tiny bit, blushes more, and then smiles sweetly, "Maybe you figured it out already, but I really have fallen in love with you in these last few weeks." Even more of a blush, "Romantically, I mean..."

:'''{{#var:23|Homura Akemi| (23)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"That's good, because I do love my little angel, and I appreciate her very much." Homura nuzzles her nose against Madoka's, doing it slightly to the beat because when the rest your whole body is doing that it's hard for one little part not to. "You mean so much to me, and being able to spend this time with you like this means so much too."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura cants her head as she nods. "I do, too. I don't think it's even been a week yet, but I really feel like I've made it my own already." A place where they could dance whenever they want... well, they probably could've done something like that in the apartment, but now they have a whole room dedicated to it. No couches to move out of the way here.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura considers the size of her closet. "It ''is'' a lot larger than the one I used to have. I was surprised at the size of it! I think it's bigger than some of the bedrooms in this house." The image of playing dressup in her closet leads her into daydreaming. "I'd like that. I like having a lot of clothes like that, just so I can dress up sometimes. It'd be fun to do that with you, too."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura feels Madoka's more exaggerated and whimsical movements, happily exaggerating her own to match. As the two of them move, Homura's hair lifts and twirls around her shoulders.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Madoka says she's welcome, and thanks her in turn. "You're welcome. I'm always happy to have you over, and I'm especially happy every time I get to spend time with you.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'... it really makes me feel beautiful.' It does? Hmm. Homura considers that as she leans closer to whisper, "Well... you ''are'' beautiful, so you feel that way, then you're just feeling what I think of you, my love."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura listens to Madoka's response, nodding and watching her to indicate that she's paying attention. Homura blushes a little bit more, and more so when Madoka says it outright. "I did start to suspect it. There was something in the way you held and kissed me, but I didn't know how much of it was wishful thinking, so I didn't want to assume. You've been an incredible girlfriend, and I'm happy to hear that you feel the same way as I do... because being in love with you comes so natural to me, too. It's easy, because..." To use Madoka's own words, "... you're you."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura shrugs helplessly, not really sure how to say it. "It took me a long time to even come to terms with the fact that I was in love with you. I just... never really had time to stop and think about it really. I think other people noticed before I did... but I guess it just made sense. You've always been so important to me, and so kind."

:'''{{#var:8|Madoka Kaname| (8)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Madoka nuzzles Homura's nose right back, saving a giggle for when they pull away because of how it was done in time to the music. It did make sense, but it was also whimsical and fun. "I feel like I should spend as much time with you as I can. Not because I'm afraid I won't be able to later, but because I think I should enjoy and appreciate what I have. Being so happy around you, and being able to make you happy too... that really is a gift."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She smiles brightly when Homura daydreams, enjoying the slightly far away look on her face as she imagines it. "We've gone shopping together, but I would like to see you pick things out for me and see what you'd dress me up in. Would you want to make me super cute, elegant and beautiful, snugly and ready for bed, or..." she trails off, letting Homura's own thoughts fill in the blank with whatever they will.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The whisper calling her beautiful puts a warm blush on her cheeks and she smiles sweetly to her girlfriend, "You're getting very good at letting me know what you think, then." She giggles again, this time a bit more excitedly as happiness bubbles up inside of her, "I really like the way you look at me!"<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura tells her she was starting to suspect her love, and Madoka looks adoringly into her eyes. "It wasn't wishful thinking at all. Now that I know how much you care for me and how much I mean to you..." She looks down a little, "That's... one of the things I've always wanted. To feel like someone really needed me, that I was special to them. I always knew that was true for my parents, and that they really do love me. But my parents are wonderful and would love any of their children so much."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She looks up happily into Homura's eyes, "You always tell me I'm kind, and that I'm sweet. You think I'm cute and that I'm beautiful. But more than that... you really do love me because of who I am. You give me something I've always wanted, with that. And because I've felt what you've felt, I know it's true. I don't doubt it- can't doubt it. It's real and it's true. I don't doubt myself as much anymore because I trust your faith in me as much as I trust myself."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She steps forward and slides her hand from Homura's shoulder to move it around her back, pulling her into a tight hug while squeezing her hand. "You make me feel so wonderful, and I want to make you just as happy as you make me. No matter what you might have thought of yourself I've always thought you were a very good person. I'd think that even if it wasn't me that you've worked so hard for and given so much for."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Her smile becomes radiant and brilliant, "Feeling this way while spending so much time with you, and knowing all of that? How could I not fall in love with you? You're so sweet and loveable!"

:'''{{#var:23|Homura Akemi| (23)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura makes an 'mmhm' sound in agreement. "We should! We should enjoy what we have. I think a lot of people would envy us if they saw how happy we were, and what we had. It is a gift, and I never thought I'd be able to have this, but you really are happy with me, and I'm happy with you, and being happy along with you is the happiest feeling ever."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What kinds of ways would Homura dress up Madoka in? Homura always figured she'd just try something until she found something that looked nice, but if she had to guess... Wait what?<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura laughs a little nervously, but her nervousness isn't a bad thing. "Ready for bed, huh? Well I wasn't thinking it, but now that you've mentioned it I'm going to."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura considers for a moment. "I think I'd try a number of things. I didn't think I had much that'd be cute to wear, but that dress actually does look pretty cute on you. Maybe it's just a matter of who's wearing it?" She winks. "I'd probably put you in something classy at first. After that I might want to put you in my nicest dress and doll you up with makeup. As for something to wear to bed... hm... I could probably find some pajamas you could wear, but the look wouldn't be complete unless you had a plushie to cuddle."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Her voice gets a little deeper, and she softly adds, "... of course, you could always let ''me'' be your plushie."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'I really like the way you look at me!' "Good, because I really like looking at you. I like complimenting you because I like making you happy, and you make it easy because there are so many good things about you."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura's eyes shine as they reflect the image of Madoka's adoring look. Everything Madoka says makes Homura happier and happier, and it's not hard to see it on her face. Homura isn't hiding her feelings from Madoka, especially not right now. When Madoka says she's always thought of Homura as a good person, she's almost moved to tears. She closes her eyes.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"You might be one of the few who think of me that way... but you're also one of the few who has ever tried to understand me. I really do try hard for the sake of others, but... there were times when I felt so alone because no one even wanted to hear my side of the story..." She looks away, and towards the floor for a moment, but then she turns her eyes back to Madoka, happily.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"... but you always reached out to me, even when I thought you didn't want me to. If you really think of me that way, then it doesn't matter to me what anyone else thinks. You're my beloved angel, and if you're the only one who gets me then that's fine."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'How could I not fall in love with you?' Homura laughs, through tears of joy. "Well, I'm glad you did, because I wouldn't trade this for anything... and if we want to spend the rest of our lives together, then nothing would make me happier."

:'''{{#var:8|Madoka Kaname| (8)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I wouldn't blame them if they did, because it really is wonderful. I never knew it was possible to be so completely happy, but I am here with you." Madoka can only nod her head emphatically in agreement at being happy together being the happiest feeling ever.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Homura laughs nervously and Madoka giggles, "Well we ~do~ cuddle a lot at night!" She smiles happily and listens to what Homura would want to dress her in, blushing at the wink and giggling happily. She makes a soft, 'oh!' sound and nods, "Classy would be good, if you could make me look that way."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She twists a little from side to side at the words 'doll you up', "I'd love to be so prettily dolled up for you." Then Homura talks of pajamas and her bedtime look not being complete without a plushy and once more lets out a stream of playful giggles, "You know me so well." Again she nestles up close to Homura as they dance together, peering into her eyes, "Homura-chan is my favorite plushy of all, she's the warmest and cuddliest. Even better when I hug onto her she hugs me right back!"<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She's overjoyed at all this wonderful sweet attention Homura is giving her, complimenting her over and over. "You really are too sweet! I think you're going to spoil me after all. You're so good to me, Homura-chan."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The way she holds Homura as she reacts to her words gentles so that the arm around her is almost gently cradling her. There is such a sweet but vulnerable underside to Homura that she doesn't seem to show very often, but Madoka loves bringing it out because she feels like it means her girlfriend feels safe and secure.<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There's also a fiercely protective side of her that Homura has seen, and Homura talking about the hardship and loneliness she had to endure it brings out the very kindest side of Madoka. "It's okay, sweetheart. You've had to endure so much but I know how much you care both for me and for others. I always wanted to know your side, and now that I do I feel that I was always right about how good you are."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Her eyes are there to meet Homura's when the look back into her own, and she smiles lovingly. "You've told me I'm kind because I'm willing to do things for others... but when I look at you I see that same kindness directed at me. I know there's nothing you wouldn't do for me, no matter what it would mean for yourself. I don't care if you think if it's for selfish reasons; that's the very heart of selflessness, and you've proven you have it so many times I can't even count them all."<br /> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I really do think you're wonderful. I think you're beautiful too." She reaches up and brushes away some of those happy tears with her thumb, if only to acknowledge them. "If I spend the rest of my life with you then I'm going to have to ask what I've done to deserve a life filled with such wonderful happiness, Homura-chan."
