Kaoru leaned against the counter with her drink in hand, anxiously tapping her foot and listening to the ice swish and clank against her glass.

It was her first time at a lesbian bar, her first time at any LGBTQ+ space in general, mere weeks after her own self discovery.

Naturally, she has no idea what she’s doing, or if she even fits in here. Sure, she’s pretty masculine and is wearing her best flannel, but being a stereotypical lesbian didn’t make her feel any better.

“Okay, Kaoru.. You got this, just.. talk to a girl…” She whispered to herself, taking a step forward. It should be easy, right..? She’s spent so long flirting with and being all over men. She doesn’t know how to go about this but.. “Hey, beautiful. You also here, all by yourself?” She leaned over the table, speaking to the first woman that caught her eye.
