That's kind of a big jump. What if I just started with saying that I wouldn't mind it if you kissed me right now.
[Pursing her lips together with a shrug, the honesty's already started trickling out so she'll roll with it. Though it's only a brief moment later that she's laughing with a shake of her head.]
To which I immediately take back only because you haven't even let me brush my teeth this morning. So I negate my previous statement on account of morning breath.
I haven't been repulsed yet by it, I think you're doing alright.
[She very helpfully rolls back onto her side and gives Verity a considering look, like she's trying to work out if this all a very elaborate joke. Verity doesn't lie, though, and Jem concedes that maybe she ought to just kiss her.
But would that be weird? Kissing her room mate after telling her about the wild threesome Jem's had?]
[It would be weird. Probably. Then again, sleeping with her best friend was meant to be weird, but in a strange twist, it really wasn't. How different could this be really? Very different, she'd imagine. Even if it was just for fun's sake.
But she leans forward on her palms, shortening the distance slight, in a cue that she's speaking with her own honesty too, that she wouldn't mind it as she says. If that was a thing.]
[Which is not a lie; she herself doesn't always believe it, though. She's brave now, though. Maybe because she's still tired or still running off the adrenaline from the weekend. Verity is very pretty, even in the morning with her morning breath and stupid, pretty eyes.
I'm so not straight, she thinks and scoots in close. It could be totally, really weird but -- Jem presses her lips to Verity's anyway. Because fuck it; life is short and all that. It's not the romantic moment one might expect from someone who has just admitted she's thought about sleeping with her room mate. But it's nice, if not a little chaste. Treading the waters, so to speak.]
[Brave is a fitting word since spontaneously kissing your roommate probably isn't the right course of action. But if it's wrong, hardly either of the girls seem to really care.
Everything's been such a wild affair since she left, since she came back, and Verity just wants something simple for once that doesn't delve into the realm of complicated realities, disappearing best friends, and complex incentives. Right here, it's just a kiss, sweet and welcoming lips from a friend who hasn't complicated her life, not even now while their brushing mouths without a second thought.
It's just nice, the softness of it the best part while she still isn't fully awake this morning, and yes, she likes it. Expressing as such with fingers gently trailing along Jem's jaw to tip her chin up.]
[Up goes her chin and Jem is smiling, relaxed and pleased that Verity doesn't pull away. It's a simple thing, lazy and nice after her weekend.
She touches just the edge of Verity's jaw lightly, tilting her head more comfortably. She smooths back red hair behind an ear and then brushes her thumb against Verity's cheek. She breaks away with a cheeky smile, eyes half lidded. ]
[Whatever the purpose of any of this is, it doesn't take much for her to decide that everything about kissing Jem is nice. Even if it's the course of action take by a still drowsy Verity Willis, more awake Verity Willis probably won't have any regrets on the matter.
Now if only other things in her life could be as simple as something like this.
She snickers softly, forehead dipping slightly against the other's, smile hardly leaving her face even as she pressing her lips together with a soft hum.] Oh, sorry. Next time I'll be sure to punch your face. Would that be a more appropriate reaction?
[It's a simple kind of intimacy, lying with her head pressed to Verity's, their arms almost touching and the room quiet. It's safe. It's uncomplicated. ]
Or you could kiss me again. You look you'd be scary looking if you're stern.
[She snorts into laughter, ducking her head at the mention of a scary-looking Verity, because well, she certainly can be when she's upset (ask Loki, he's a pro at knowing what that expression looks like).]
I guess I could. But it might be too tempting to start making a habit of it. [It's good to be honest, right?
And gazing down at light eyes, it certainly already is in the realm of tempting, thumb trailing over the curve of a cheek before she leans in again, lips grazing once more for another gentle kiss.]
[There's no sign of protest. Jem tilts her head to allow it; she smiles, lingers with a kiss of her own, just a second longer. This is nice; it's been a long, long time since Jem's had a friend. It's been longer since she had a friend like Verity, who makes her feel like she can talk about anything and not have to lie about it.
It feels easy and uncomplicated.
She hmm's softly and shifts, head resting back on a pillow. ] I wouldn't mind if you made a habit of it.
