New chapter

Though this one is much shorter than the others I've done. But its still very fluffy

Akane and Ranma go to the cinema and get ice cream after

But Ranma as per normal can't help but make a scene

Akane sighed heavily as she watched Ranma scoff down ice cream as if she hadn't been fed in days. Despite the fact that Kasumi kept her family and the Saotome's well fed with her wonderful cooking. Sometimes she wondered why she even bothered taking Ranma out, never knowing how to act proper or even behave herself.

It was very embarrassing for her and she often tended to avoid any questions about Ranma while out. Had Ranma not been in her cursed form her actions would have been easier to explain. However, being in his girl form, Ranma was just labelled a rebellious tomboy much like herself. However, she did often wish Ranma would tone it down a little.

While she understood that despite being cursed in a female body, Ranma was very much biologically and mentally a male. So of course, she wouldn't know anything about female etiquette. Even when in girl form, she still acted and behaved very much like she would as a guy, which a lot of times caused people to stare or whisper about them.

However, she was behaving better than usual and not getting into trouble which Akane was grateful for. The two of them had been to see a movie earlier, as it was not often they went out together aside from school. Though of course Ranma had expected it to be a mushy romance movie. Finding the things to be cringey and never going near the things.

She had assured him that the movie wasn't a rom com, though having been to see them with her friends in the past. She enjoyed them, but they weren't her favourite genre of movies. Instead they had gone to see a comedy together, enjoying some laughs and left in a good mood. Later going to the café, they now sat at for some refreshments, eager for something sweet.

It wasn't often the two could have a decent conversation without their family interrupting or Ranma's supposed "Other" fiance's trying to steal Ranma's attention. Always having someone get in their way or trying to keep them apart. To have these small moments, just the two of them together was honestly very comforting.

However, after ordering and making small talk for a short while. Ranma happily dug into her dessert, while Akane slowly took her time. Honestly, she was surprised that Ranma never got brain freeze from how fast she ate it. Though she was grateful Ranma never bought for than one or she would never be able to afford these days out.

Part of her somewhat understood Ranma's behaviour though. He had never truly experienced a childhood like she had. He had been torn from his mother because of Genma's selfish actions. Denied a mother's love, affection and attention starved and never really having a place to call home. So of course, Ranma would lash out and not know social norms or manners very well.

Genma wasn't exactly parent of the year, being a lazy, stingy, often greedy person. Never able to show his son affection, double crossing him and never able to tell the truth. She had no idea how or why he had even raised Ranma. He had made a promise to his wife which prevented Ranma from even seeing his mother which broke her heart.

The longer she stared she spotted something on Ranma's face, ice cream and chocolate syrup. Ranma was eating so fast she was making a mess of her own face without realizing it. "Honestly" she sighed. Sometimes she wondered what Ranma would do if she wasn't around. The guy could barely look after himself, even if he was street smart and a good fighter.

Ranma looked up curiously from her parfait, her eyes wide and curious. Wondering what could be wrong, she didn't recall doing anything wrong to upset Akane. So far, she had been having a lot of fun. She usually hated movies, but this one had been entertaining and she had actually enjoyed the movie. Which was unexpected for her.

Akane then leaned across the table slowly, reaching out her hand surprising Ranma. Was she going to hit her? Was she going to yank her cheek? Was she in trouble at all, she had no idea. It was more often than not that when Akane reached out her hand silently, it was to yank her cheek for saying something inappropriate.

However, Akane simply wiped her finger across Ranma's cheek wiping off the smear carefully. Making sure there was nothing left on her face for later on that could cause her to become teased. Much like a mother would to a child when they made a mess while eating food. Always keeping an eye on Ranma when she seemingly got into trouble.

Ranma blushed at the contact, sensing the intimate contact. It was rare that she or Akane showed each other physical affection, as they were still shy about such things. Living with their parents didn't help much either. As far as a romantic couple, they were still taking things slow but were more comfortable with one another.

Akane then slowly pulled away, smiling. She then sat down in her seat and licked her finger playfully "There, all gone" she replied in a teasing tone. Enjoying the taste of chocolate. Maybe next time she would order the same thing as Ranma instead, I mean it had to be tasty given Ranma always ordered the same thing.

Ranma stiffened, having realized what Akane had just done in such a public place. Though she knew they were both girls right now, she couldn't help but be embarrassed by it. She gently touched her cheek where Akane had wiped her, the feeling of her finger still lingering. Her voice lost, not knowing what to say. Not used to Akane being so bold.
