29 Chimera Court, Saturday Morning

[giveittoyoursister]

Vi and Steph had been planning on going to the dance last night, but then they'd gotten dressed for the dance last night, and, well, it's not like they didn't have a tendency to get distracted even when they weren't completely and utterly doused in pollen.

So, no, they hadn't made it to the dance last night. They hadn't even made it to the front door.

They had, however, eventually made it to the bed, where Vi now snuggled in closer to Steph, eyes still firmly closed.

Steph, still about 75 percent asleep, nuzzled into Vi's hair and ran a hand down her side.

"Morning, babe," she said in a voice roughened by... more constant use than normal. "That was a good fuckin' night."

Literally and figuratively.

[giveittoyoursister]

Vi sighed, relaxing into Steph's touch, her own hand resting on Steph's hip.

"Yeah, it was," she told Steph's collarbone, following up with a soft kiss. "Hope my date doesn't mind me standing her up."

Just because they weren't pollen-addled any more didn't mean either of them had to be sensible.

[drumsticksandd20s]

When were they ever sensible, though?

Steph snickered. "Or lying her down."

She was hilarious, shut up. And if it had at all occurred to her what usually happened after a week of even less ability to keep their hands off each other than usual, she wasn't thinking about it.

[giveittoyoursister]

Vi laughed, because she certainly thought Steph was brilliant. "Pulling her on top of me," she added, trailing a line of slow, lazy kisses up her neck, enjoying the lack of urgency.

Of course not. If either of them had given it more than a passing thought, that might imply they actually expected it to happen again.

[drumsticksandd20s]

Why in the world would they set their abandonment issue-riddled selves up for disappointment like that?

Steph let out a pleased sigh and traced an apparently very intricate pattern over Vi's skin with her fingertips. "Doing all the things in every physically possible position and then maybe a couple of impossible ones." She kissed the top of Vi's head and added, "Just lying here together like this, though... I did miss it."

If you didn't even consider making plans, then the universe couldn't take them away from you.

"Yeah, we kind a got distracted from it last week," Vi said with a throaty chuckle, hand smoothing along Steph's skin. "A lot."

[drumsticksandd20s]

And therefore, because they were the pinnacle of healthy coping mechanisms, they simply treated everything like it was spontaneous.

"It was a very nice distraction, to be clear," Steph replied. "But now I'd be completely down for a lazy day of quality non-sexy naked time with you."

It was cute how they were about to walk face first right into the weekend.

[giveittoyoursister]

Exactly, and if certain foodstuffs found their way into the grocery order, it was just a spontaneous craving, not any kind of wishful thinking.

Vi stretched out with more of that laziness that she was planning on indulging in. "I don't know about you, but for some reason, I have a lot of sore muscles that need a rub down."

They had only themselves to blame. For real.

[drumsticksandd20s]

Look, just because one particular variety of Pop-Tarts happened to be Amber's favorite didn't mean it had to mean anything.

"Yeah? Me too. Crazy, right?" Steph gave Vi a ridiculously exaggerated wide-eyed look. "Good thing I can give you that rub down and it won't immediately morph into much sexier things."

Immediately, she'd said, because even under the circumstances she couldn't rule it out entirely. She'd met them.

"Hell, we might even take a shower, which we kind of desperately need, without ending up needing another one before we even get out of the first one."

Considering the sudden rattling of the doorknob, they might not even get that desperately needed shower.

And if Vi had thrown in an extra few boxes of that tea Cerise liked, well, Steph had a busy GM-ing schedule and it was good for your throat.

"Immediately," Vi repeated with a grin, because she had also met them. "We'll save so much on our water bill."

Did Vi's shoulders collapse in frustration or relief when she heard the door? Yes.
