The Start of Something NEW: Shane/Yumi

[shanebywax]

Shane was not a holiday kind of girl, nor was she in the slightest bit a Valentine's Day lover. But she had reason to celebrate this time.

Her girlfriend... yes... HER... girlfriend.

She was the reason she was going to celebrate her most hated holiday.

Yesterday, she was cleaning up her room when she found something that would have been the death of her if not for Yumi. She found coccaine. She had an idea. She looked over at it on her dresser and shook her head. She picked the little bag up and stuck it in her pocket.

She bought Yumi a little stuffed bear and a box of candies and hell if her hopeless romantic ass didnt buy her a dozen yellow roses. She smiled a little as she walked to her jeep and got in it.

She lit up a cigarette and looked at it after taking a drag. "You're next."

She made her way to the school and found her way to Yumi. She dropped the cigarette and stomped it out cold. She smiled at Yumi and handed her the little gifts she got her. She looked at her, and all of the people around them who knew who the old Shane really was, and took the little bag of coke out of her pocket.

"It's been about a month since the last time I even thought about this shit." she said to her. "And this is the last time I'm going to even have CONTACT with it." she said as she set the little bag on fire in the parking lot and dropped it to the ground. "Happy Valentine's Day." she said with a smile as he watched the little bag burn.

Yumi had woken up in the morning, feeling a little off. So much had changed for her. She had a girlfriend, she lost her virginity. Both were wonderful, that she would even think they weren't was simply beyond her reckoning. But it was a lot to adjust to.

She kicked up to her feet and got dressed, cladding herself first in a little something for Shane to unwrap later, then in a red t-shirt with a kitty on the front and a pair of blue jeans. Assured she looked good, with a light touch of makeup, she bound out the door and to school. She'd already gotten Shane's other gift, which sat in the passenger's side.

Valentines Day was always different for Yumiko. In Japan, it was customary from women to give the special someone in their life chocolate on this day, and for men to reciprocate in March. But Yumi had never had a man, she'd always been with women. It made her feel, in a way, an outsider.

She was talking to several other girls when Shane approached. Gossiping, of course, wanting to know if she and Shane were really together. Their question was no doubt answered as Yumi was showered in gifts. She giggles and nuzzled close to her, watching a remnant of Shane's old life burn.

"I have presents for you too," she said. "One... you'll have to wait till we're in private to unwrap," she said, flashing a smile and pulling her shirt a little to reveal a bit of red lace. "And this, is the other." She handed over the bag, inside of which was a bottle of sake and a box of chocolates.
