Kiran had their own devious plans for the booth, and while Kris did various silly gestures, they made a few silly faces, albeit... admittedly probably shier and more subdued than hers, heh. But more importantly, after the third picture, they spawned a few sparkles around the both of them. In the fifth, they made her hair glow, and in the sixth, they dismissed the other effects and put a halo above her head.
None of these showed up entirely clearly in the pictures, with the flash drowning them a bit heh, but they would still be at least kind of visible.

With the flashes going, Kris wouldn’t get a chance to register the aura lights and how they’d shifted her hair and put a ring around her head. However, on looking at the films that it spit out right after, warmth did touch her features. Even if they were kind of blurry and hard to tell she… got what they were supposed to be and and and !!!! This was… this was not helping her feelings now that she realized it. Looking back up at Kiran, she stared at them for a moment before blushing and looking down and oh they’re right there too and ffffffffffff.
“Ki do you wanna uh…” Kris was mumbling and gulped briefly before raising her voice to an actual audible level. “Do you wanna make a p-p-photo album?!” she asked with as much vigor as if she were asking to fight to the death. Her heart had climbed up in her ears, and her face had colored again but she was trying.

Ki do you wanna uh... Hm?? Was everything okay? Did she wanna retake them, or... might she be debating asking them to show off their projection more?
Photo album??? Wh-- She was so intense about this and it was so fucking cute?? But also just the idea was-- "L-like a. like a physical one??" That was... kind of pointless; why have one physical object that would have to be passed back and forth and risk getting messed up when they could have countless copies online? ..And... and yet, "That sounds.. really fun?" They guessed... the act of making it. It just sounded really endearing?
"..Do you wanna take some more now?" They smiled a bit sheepishly. "My ah... effects are pretty limited. But I can try stuff. If you want?"

Like a physical one? “Yeah!” she squeaked. Some part of her was distantly aware of Kiran’s uncertain surface thoughts, but as they replied it would be fun, she couldn’t have cared less. “Yeah! Let’s try everything!” She paused giggling and fishing her phone out to play that specific song right then as well. Did she ever mention how much she loved Zootpia? Well, she loved it lots, especially the Gazelle songs! Keeping the volume relatively low as not to mess too much with the music playing out beyond the photo booth, she turned back to the camera smiling wide. “Ready?” She’d glance sideways at Kiran only once before inserting more coins and pressing the button to snap still more pictures. This was so exciting?? She had no idea why, but it was!

Everything?? Oh, ha! Try Everything. Well, they supposed they sure could try, huh? Some of this was gonna be... very improv, but they had a good few seconds to get set up between pictures, right? So... hrm, could it work like this?
She'd done bunny ears to them, and if this was Zootopia now, well... They spawned two orbs atop her head and then stretched them out into glowing rabbit ears on her for one picture, and then... Mm, they couldn't divide their focus that well for such specific shapes, especially ones they hadn't practiced, so they had to abandon the bunny ears to put some fox ears on themself... though they did also manage a slight muzzle along with that, making them grin under it.
Another picture they made themself a mouse, and another they put their hands palms toward the camera on either side of Krissy's head to be "ears" to go with the aura trunk they managed to spawn, making her an elephant.
The last picture... would just be Kiran staring kind of stupefied at Kris. As they'd started to pull back their hands from the ears, they inadvertantly turned a bit toward her, and.. one hand was still practically on her face already, and the jarringly loud thought of SHOULD I KISS HER? almost made them flinch.
They didn't. They didn't know if they actually even wanted to or just??? kept wondering vaguely if they 'should'? They had... so very little context for strong feelings and the majority of anime and Hollywood had not well prepared them to deal with many possibilities. Thoughts fluctuated between She's your best friend, asshole. Please don't ruin this just because you're touch-starved, and But what if she expected more? and ...Honestly it shouldn't matter what kind of love this is should it? and Well no dumbass but how you express it kind of does.
After awkwardly staring just a few seconds too long, they questioningly gestured at the booth controls again in an effort to ask if she wanted more pictures.

This was so fun??? All the shapes, all the lights, all the everything was so much fun? She loved the fox ears she caught sight of in the corner of her eye and the muzzle and !!! The light elephant had her squealing-giggling. How cute!!!
As the last picture flickered, however, she became aware of an overwhelmingly loud thought. It broke through her mental barrier of sorts and had her looking just as alarmed as Kiran. SHOULD I KISS HER? Suddenly, it was like the flood gates were opened, and Kris found herself reading every single one of their thoughts. Color burst onto her features in a wave, and though her lips parted, no words came out. Oh.
She… she didn’t know what to do? Didn’t… know what to say? The gesture to the booth controls had her looking towards them but, she could barely process them let alone what she was ‘hearing’. “Ki do you like me?” That was… not what she had wanted to say, not what she had been planning to say, not what anyone or anything had wanted her to say, but there it was. “Like… like like?”

Wh-- what?! The fuck??! Was she reading their mind, were they just that painfully awkward?! Did-- was she hoping they'd say yes? What if they disappointed her? What if they scared her?? What the fuck what the FUCK?
Despite the borderline pissed and very panicky thoughts racing through their mind, what came out was a delayed nervous laugh, or something that might generously be called a laugh. "I don't know??"
Maybe? No? Maybe they could? They backed up-- enough to fall right out of the booth and onto the floor. "Fu--!" Their arm wasn't supposed to bend that far ow, ow.
Scrambling into a sitting position, they avoided looking back at her as they pulled out their phone and typed faster than they could ever remember.
-- You're my favorite person and I don't know what to do with that?? ?? ? --

Was she reading their mind? Kris squeaked, her hands quickly folding over her mouth. The vocalized admittance had her both sighing in relief but suddenly disappointed and?? They had just said they didn’t know yes or no—
“Ki!” Kris was not fast enough to catch them as they fell right out of the booth and could only wince when they landed. Pulling back the curtain, she stared for a moment blinking back sudden tears??? As her phone buzzed, she found herself looking down at it. Oh. This should probably be relieving but apparently it wasn’t? She just? She Did Not Know and felt vaguely embarrassed? For some reason???
Looking down at the phone and then up at Kiran again, she blinked hard. “Sorry??”

The fuck was she sorry about??? What? Why were they still angry? Or, well, frustrated was probably a better word than angry. But why were they so frustrated? Why was this so... complicated? Was that even the right word? Fuck.
-- Do you want me to??? --
All they wanted was to keep her close and make her happy. ... That thought really shouldn't have come out as bitter-toned as it did but here they were so welp. Regardless, if that would make her happy they could definitely try thinking of her that way, or if it would make her feel weird they didn't have to, it just??? ...Was that really true or did they just want it to be? Did they actually not have a preference at all or were they just ignoring it or having trouble telling what it was or......
...It occurred to them that maybe the question they should have asked in the first place was...
-- How do you like me? --

She didn’t… understand???? Why, what, who??? Why was she saying sorry? On reflection, she had no idea. She just?? Felt the need to apology— her phone dinged, and she stared down at the message. This did not help. She blinked harder than necessary. Too many of Kiran’s thoughts were still spinning in her mind, and it was much much much too much. She was swaying a little even as she stood.
Her phone dinged again, and she looked down at it. How did… she like them? “I—“ Words failed her for the first time in a very long time. She stared, mouth slightly ajar trying and failing to speak. After a few seconds, her gaze dropped and her thumbs started moving in a flurry.
-- You are my extra special friend! -- -- I like you a lot like that? -- -- I don’t know if I like you like like like but you’re so good?-- -- My closest friend --
Her texts were coming out in stream-of-consciousness fashion, but it was the best she could do right then.
-- But also you’re cute? -- -- Like really cute, Ki --
Oh no, she didn’t mean to type it like that, and her face was burning and her eyes were blurry and she was blinking a little too hard again.

-- FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF --
Just. A block of letters was the best they could manage for a moment there. She-- They were so caught between 'she has to be joking' and 'no?? this is Krissy why would she joke about something like that, she's so pure and perfect and good??' ... Yes, perfect and good, in that order, apparently. Brain you were on fire today.
-- Not nearly as cute as you. -- -- It isn't fair at all -- -- People aren't allowed to be so cute -- -- How dare --
They were... getting kind of silly now and they weren't really sure if they meant to or it was just kind of devolving on its own but ssh.

The single-letter capital stream had Kris giggling weakly despite herself. Not nearly as cute as she was? What came after had her face burning anew. How dare? How dare indeed. Even in Kiran’s silliness, however, Kris took it with… about as much earnesty as she had when she read their thoughts.
-- We clearly stole all the cuteness!-- -- Well, maybe not all of it because plushies exist-- -- But! But ! --
She didn’t… actually know where she was going with this and just sort of stared into space for a moment. “I just…” her voice was small, distant, and still very uncertain. “Don’t know right now?” Was that… was that ok? She didn’t know if it was or not or or ??? or.

A hand flew to Kiran's mouth too late to stop the shrill giggle at the plushie line. Fuck she was not doing a good job of convincing them she didn't steal literally all the cuteness, aajoaowofaow.
But... she... She didn't know either? So it.. wasn't just them. That was... such a relief, honestly. They breathed out quietly; of course that was okay, but how best to let her know that. Hmmm. ... A smile spread across their features.
-- Then for now we can exist in a nebulous void together. Just us and a bunch of cuteness and confusing feelings floating through space. --
They turned that smile very nervously back up to her. "...That okay?"

The giggles had Kris smiling a bit more genuinely than before. It felt.. relieving that they could still share laughs even in this… whatever this was? This, though, this felt right. As her messenger dinged, she giggled at the line. Feeling their eyes on her, she looked up and smiled. The tears that had been welling finally spilled but only in a single stream. “That’s… that’s perfect,” she answered quietly.
Suddenly, however, she was puffing out her chest. “We are the cutest stars! In all of the galaxy!” Why did her heart flutter like that, though? She still didn’t know, but that was ok. Hopping down from the booth, she raised both arms and spun very briefly. “No! In the universe!” Taking a quick bow after her spin, she righted herself again. “Right, Ki?” Right? RIIIIIIGHT!

OIWFOIW don't cry. Something registered those were probably happy and/or relieved tears-- or uh, a tear?-- but still Krissy no.
Her answer though, and everything to follow, had them so much more relieved too. Chuckling softly as she got increasingly dramatic about it, they eventually answered by slowly shaking their head. "No," the answered simply at first.
They gathered all the pictures from both rounds at the booth and slipped into their pocket alongside their phone before getting to their feet and continuing, "Just you~ You're the cutest." They gave her a wink. "But I'll stay close and keep ah. Absorbing bits of your cuteness until I catch up~"
