Mission End

[miniclaws]

[The team parted at the entrance. Wolverine gave his reports to Cyclops alone. It suited X23 fine. She sniffed the air for Julian's sent and began to trace it to it's origin. He would call her Laura and she would feel less like a monster. The clothes with the bloodstains would go to the wash and she would start anew again.

She opened Julian's bedroom and walked in] I am back.

Things. A person's eyes can remind me of a yours. A scent on the air that could be yours..

[hellionated]

[Watching her]

...

[The fuck can he say to that? If it were anyone else...but this is LAURA.]

Why do you think... [Damn it, Julian. Just talk.] I think about you too.

[miniclaws]

Why did you stop the question?

[hellionated]

Cause I'm being dumb. [Hesitation. Then he reaches over and touches her hand] ...I know what you're saying. I don't mean to distract you. But I...

...

think about your eyes, too.

[miniclaws]

[she looks at him curiously] what do you think about them?

[hellionated]

[Sticking with honesty? Just do it. She was honest with you.]

...that they're beautiful.

[miniclaws]

They are? I prefer blue

[hellionated]

Blue like mine? [He's smiling] ...s'okay to say that. [Fuck this is weird. He never thought he'd be having this kind of talk with Laura.] Thing is I like green. I like yours. ...I like you, Laura.

[miniclaws]

Like how? I like you a lot. More than anyone else. Except Wolverine

[hellionated]

Like... [Oh, man. How is he supposed to explain? This is...God, he's not good with this stuff. Charm, sure, flirting, definitely. But saying it so blunt as this? New territory. And new also because it's Laura, and he...

Shit. He doesn't want to mess that up.]

Like a different kind of liking. Not like with Cess, or...

[Keller, you suck.]

God. Like this.

[He quickly kisses her lips, then moves back again. He really, really hopes he hasn't been reading this wrong.]

[miniclaws]

[Laura quickly recloses the distance and kisse him back properly, a hand going round the back of his neck to keep him there. This she understands and likes]

[hellionated]

[And...goodbye, coherent thought. Luckily his body's going on instinct. His hands move to her waist and he kisses her back, closing his eyes while he presses her against him]

[miniclaws]

[Laura is nearly in his lap when she pulls back from the kiss and smiles slightly] You are a good kisser

[hellionated]

[He actually has no problem with her being 'nearly in his lap'. So he's making no effort to move and he's still holding her. In fact, he pulls her closer]

Yeah. Uh, you are too. [Understatement] You...I like that.

[miniclaws]

Then we will do this again and again

[hellionated]

...and this is what you want? This?

[miniclaws]

Yes I would have pushed you away if I did not want it

[hellionated]

Okay. [Considering she still hasn't pushed him away...] So...what now?

[miniclaws]

[she kisses him again] we..enjoy this.

[hellionated]

[His hands instinctively tighten around her and he pulls her properly into his lap. He kisses her back, getting more absorbed in it and flicking his tongue forward to touch her lips]

[miniclaws]

[she curls into his lap and parts her lips to play with his tongue before nipping at his lips]

[hellionated]

[Wow, she's..wow. The distant part of his brain that's still functioning like a brain should warns him that he should really be taking things slower than this. It's hard when she's so responsive. She's...the last thing he wants to do is pull back from her. His hands tighten around her and he makes an approving sound at the way she's nipping him. He nips her lip back and leans into her. His hands activate on her lower back and start getting used to her shape]

[miniclaws]

[it had been work the last time she did this. This is more interesting and fun doing it for herself and Julian. She likes Julian's hand where they are. Her fingers move down his arms and back as she presses him more firmly into the seat, demanding she control things]

[hellionated]

[Last time he did this, he distinctly recalls being in control of it. With Laura…
 
Well, she’s insistent, and she’s stronger than she looks, and somehow he’s now not so much holding her in his lap and she is sitting on top of him. Oddly enough, he doesn’t mind at all. He pulls her against his chest and goes on instinct, moving his lips against her neck and kissing her there]

[miniclaws]

[after a moment she arches her neck when she decides she likes it and puts a hand behind his neck to keep him there.]
