In the end, Kiriko goes with what she knows, and takes Venture out to get doughnuts at her favorite shop in Gibraltar for their first date. The Donut Hole is full of the brightly colored tasty treats and even serves hot chocolate and coffee. After choosing their doughnuts—some for now and some for later—Kiriko guides herself and her miner companion to a table outside. Venture chose Boston creme chocolate frosted to eat on their date, and Kiriko had her classic strawberry frosted with rainbow sprinkles. The two of them chat about the happenings at Watchpoint: Gibraltar, how Kiriko’s family is doing back home in Kanezaka, how Venture’s family is doing in Alberta, and the like. Venture giggles at something Kiriko says and goes for another bite of donut, getting the cream filling all over their face. Without thinking, Kiriko reaches out and swipes the filling off their nose, licking her finger to get rid of the mess. When she realizes what she’s done, she flushes.
“Sorry,” she mutters, shoulders creeping up to her ears.
“No, no, you’re fine!” Venture waves a hand quickly. There’s a pause and they flush. “Is there, uh. Any cream anywhere else?” They ask. Kiriko looks confused for a moment before they continue. “Here perhaps?” They gesture towards their lips.
Kiriko doesn’t see anything and is about to say so when it clicks in her brain.
“That was cheesy,” she says, and grins. She leans in and kisses Venture on the lips softly anyway. “I think I got it all,” she smirks when she pulls back.
Venture beams and says, “Maybe you ought to check again?”
Kiriko is more than happy to oblige.
