[ morning ; 1338 benny road ]

[ Jade can't help but feel something is wrong this morning when she wakes up. She feels like she's missed something, almost like she's been asleep for a long time. She stumbles out of bed, feeling a little fuzzy, noticing the changes to her room. The window's been repaired, there's a backpack that she didn't have before with half finished homework on the desk. She doesn't really start to feel concerned until she looks at the calendar on her wall, which has been flipped over to October.

That can't be right.

She grabs it from the wall, bursts out into the hallway still in her nightgown and clutching it to her chest. ]

Karkat? Gamzee?

[ phone ]

Hi Mayfield! Long time no talk! Or maybe we did talk, but it wasn't me me, it was creepy drone me. I'm not really sure what happened, I can't remember anything since, hmmm, a couple weeks ago, I think, after the zombies. I don't remember going home, or being here, nothing! It's kind of scary, but I'm glad that I was a normal creepy drone and not a murderous creepy drone. I really hope that doesn't happen to me again. Have you ever had something like that happen to you? Not even just droning but, I don't know, something reeeeally creepy where you almost... don't exist. It's kind of scary.

Oh, and apparently I'm a girl scout now, hehe.

[ afternoon ; your front door ]

[ There is some pretty persistent knocking at your front door right now. If and when you get around to answering it, you will find Jade on your doorstep, wagon stacked high with boxes of cookies behind her. She is looking particularly adorable right now, all dressed up in a girl scout's uniform. ]

Hi!! Do you like cookies?

[ phone; fail filter to eridan ]

Eridan? Hi, um... how are you?

[ Jade's face burns with embarrassment, so she just keeps staring down at her lap even when he moves closer to her. ]

You do? [ It's a little squeaky, and she glances over at him briefly before glancing away again. ] I think it's something you just know, or feel, I'm not that good with this stuff.

Haha, I ain't real good at figuring this kind of shit out either. But a brother's gotta follow what his heart up and tells him to, you know? And what mine's all saying right now is...[he smiles a little shyly and moves his hand from her wrist to cover her own] I wouldn't mind trying to figure it out with you.

[ Jade's grinning now, biting her lower lip to keep said smile from looking too huge and doofy. She turns her hand over and threads her fingers with his. ]

I would really like that.

[He grins, leans down to kiss her...

...and then jerks back, looking frantic.]

Oh, fuck.

What about Tavbro.

[ wh- oh, faked out. and the way he jerked away is not doing her confidence any favors right now. ]

Oh, um, [ and she doesn't even know about the making out incident. ] I don't know.

[well, as far as Gamzee's concerned, friends can totally make out all the time they want if they're not in a relationship already! so that's not a big deal for him. stealing his bro's flush crush, on the other hand, totally is.]

Awwwauaugh, he really likes you in a flushed way, hivesis. I don't know if I could all be doing that to one of my best buddies.

[ Jade sighs, leans against him and lets her head drop onto his shoulder. ]

Yeah, I know. [ And she does sort of feel bad, even though she doesn't like him in the same way she doesn't want to hurt his feelings. ] But I don't feel the same way.

[He strokes a hand through her hair.]

I know. And it ain't fair to be asking you to. Besides...[he smiles at her and leans in to kiss her cheek] I don't think I really want you to be anyway.

[Which he feels awful about, that he's not working to make his friend as happy as possible, but the idea of Jade and Tavros being flushed for each other makes his chest ache with something he can't identify.]

[ She sighs again, but this time it's happy, content. Jade lifts her head off his shoulder when he kisses her cheek, smiling shyly at him. ]

Gamzee... [ She just murmurs his name, with nothing to follow. For now, she thinks it's okay to not think about anyone else, maybe just be happy for a few minutes. Happy to be back, happy to see him, and happy to, well... he is a pretty good kisser, and she is maybe just making sure of that right now. ]

[He's still feeling pretty uncertain about this, but not thinking happens to be one of Gamzee's strengths, so he returns the kiss without hesitation. And he's had plenty of practice by now, so this time he remembers to watch his teeth while he kisses her back.]

[ While Gamzee may be a serial make outer, Jade hasn't had quite so much practice, no to mention it's been a while since sloppy makeouts were had. Despite that her enthusiasm is certainly there, and it's good that he's mindful of the fangs because she isn't paying too much attention. ]

[Been a while for her, maybe...Gamzee should probably feel bad about that, but she was droned, he had no idea she was flushed for him, and again, nothing wrong with some friendly makeouts! He keeps the kiss sweet and slow, sighing a little into her mouth.]

[ Yes he probably should, maybe a little... but on the other hand she hadn't said anything before, except a couple of delirious pre-zombification "I really like you"s. Well, what she doesn't know won't hurt her!

Jade shifts herself around a bit, onto her knees so she can lean in closer, one hand resting tentatively against his cheek. This is only their first (second?) uninterrupted non emotional trauma related make out, she is still figuring this out. ]

[He takes advantage of his height to deepen the kiss, tilting her head back and her chin forward and pressing harder against her lips. And okay, his ridiculously long canines are definitely starting to get in the way now, he really needs to figure out what to do about that.]

[ File them down. Or trade them in at the post office. Both excellent options.

Jade gasps quietly against his mouth, surprised by the sudden change. The fangs are a little bit more difficult to avoid now, but she manages well enough for the time being, returning the kiss enthusiastically. ]

[But big fangs are supposed to be attractive....

Anyway, we have now reached the point in the thread where I have exhausted all the ways I can describe making out, so yeah, they sure are making out! All that clown paint and slobber everyhwere, this is very sexy I'm sure.]

[ I could probably go on making comments about their making out abilities, or lack thereof, but I won't! Needless to say it continues probably for several (gasp) uninterrupted minutes before Jade finally pulls away, panting and incredibly red in the face. She's suffered only a slight nick to the corner of her lip, one bright dot of blood, but has otherwise escaped this make out session unscathed. ]

[He winces a little when he sees the blood, swiping his thumb across her lip to wipe it away.] Whooooops, shit. Sorry about that, chica.

Huh? [ She's a little surprised, and probably wouldn't even have noticed if he hadn't pointed it out. ] It's okay.

[ She smiles reassuringly, leans forward to rub her nose against his in the CUTEST ESKIMO KISS ever. ]

I will just have to be careful about that.

[O-oh, so cute...Gamzee returns the favor by ducking his head and fluttering his lashes against her cheek in a butterfly kiss, a big goofy grin on his own face. And okay...will have to be careful raises a couple of questions, like 'is this going to be happening on a regular basis', 'are we in a redrom now', and 'will I have to stop making out with Tavros', but he figures these are questions that someone much smarter than he is can answer. Like Karkat. For now, Gamzee will just enjoy the kissing and snuggling.]

Haha, maybe there's some way I can be all filing these motherfuckers down so they ain't being quite as sharp.

Edited 2011-10-05 01:15 (UTC)

[ Oh god this is so cute, why is this so cute. Those are all questions that should probably be answered...soon, if only to avoid as many hurt feelings as possible.

She giggles, snuggling against him. ]

Wouldn't that hurt?

[tucks her in closer ;u;]

Naaaaw, it'd probably be good for me. Means I wouldn't be biting my motherfuckin' mastication muscle all the time. [yes this is who you're dating, Jade...]

[ Ohhhh cuddles yes she likes those. ]

Hehe, well maybe Karkat could help you with that!

[ You are implying she isn't completely silly...all the time.... ]

You think he would? His teeth are all being pretty nubby, so maybe he's got some advice he could hand out to a brother.

[oh Karkat and his nubbiness, will this ever stop being funny no it will not]
