Room 527, Thursday evening

[solo_sword]

On one hand, Jaina didn't like being distracted from the things she needed to do, and there were a lot of things. Even if she tried, she couldn't concentrate on any of it.

On the other hand... she'd mind later. Right at this moment she kind of thought whatever was going on was the best thing ever.

Curled up against John's side, she noted, "Your neighbors must hate us."


[For the shamelessly modded one in the bed, la.]

Comments

John felt no shame in that at all. "I think my neighbors should be used to it by now."

[solo_sword]

"Maybe they're distracted too," she suggested, trying to resist the urge to kiss his shoulder. That would take things dirty again already. And no, she wasn't thinking about who his neighbors were.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John laughed, realizing who was potentially distracted. "Yeah, I hope so. You hungry or anything?"

[solo_sword]

Mostly she didn't want to get up. "It couldn't hurt," she admitted. "Does that mean we have to leave?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I don't want to leave," he complained, frowning and turning to face her. "But you know, hungry."

[solo_sword]

"Can we have it brought to us?" she wondered. "It does require clothes."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"But that takes a long time!" He wasn't an attractive-sounding whiner. "The common room's not so far away..."

[solo_sword]

Jaina paused, wondering about this. "This may be the saddest conversation we've ever had."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"It's not sad. I'm not crying for food yet," John replied, missing the point.

[solo_sword]

"We should be able to get up and go for food before the crying state." Especially when they would end up working it off anyway.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"But I'm comfortable," he said, flexing his arm around her. "You could go and bring it back. Wait...no."

[solo_sword]

She really loved his arms around her. She hadn't thought about that in at least three minutes. "It oesn't seem like you're willing to let me move..." she said, smiling.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"You should stay with me," he told her. "I might miss you if you left."

[solo_sword]

"That doesn't solve the hunger issue," she pointed out, leaning in to nuzzle his neck.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"It doesn't," he agreed. "Maybe there are some Cheetos left under the bed."

[solo_sword]

Jaina laughed softly against his shoulder, asking, "You think?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"We should stockpile better," he sighed.

[solo_sword]

"I don't think we were exactly prepared for this," she reminded him. He was just going to have to stock his dorm room.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"You could've brought something back with you last night." It wasn't like he could have gone out.

[solo_sword]

"I was a little more concerned with getting back here," Jaina said, letting her fingers wander lightly over his side. "Besides, I thought we'd wake up normal...er."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"This is normal-ish," he said, tracing a few fingers over her back.

[solo_sword]

"We can usually bring ourselves to leave the room," she said, feeling her skin tingle when he did that. "It's an important clarification."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"No reason to do that when you're here and we can just be in bed all day," he said, hearing his own voice sounding a bit possessed.

[solo_sword]

"I think we more or less have." And this time she didn't think to stop herself from kissing his shoulder, the want to do so overriding the part that knew where they kept taking things. Or working with it, who even knew at this point.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"We needed a day of this," John decided, stroking a hand over her hair. "Call it making up for potential lost time."

[solo_sword]

She let her lips linger for a moment, murmuring, "Or you could take me with you and flunk you out in no time. I hear college is good for that."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I hear if I don't end up on academic probation first semester I'm a failure," John added, sliding closer. "I'd take you with me easy."

[solo_sword]

Especially right now she'd be tempted to take him up on that if it got her more of this. "I'd definitely keep you entertained on study breaks..."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"You act like all day isn't one big study break," he teased.

[solo_sword]

"You'd be good with me around to crack the whip," she told him, kissing his jaw lightly.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Knowing you there might be an actual whip to fear," John grinned.

[solo_sword]

"Only if you decided you were into that," Jaina said. It seemed to be the day... stretch of days, whatever, for that kind of comment.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Seems like a lot of effort," John replied, lazily drawing circles against her skin. "Hey...we could always order food." Brilliant!

[solo_sword]

Jaina's mouth opened in an 'o' of fake shock. "We don't even have to get up to get the phone. Wherever it is," she said, turning her head to see if she could spot it from where she was pressed up against him.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Have I told you today I love you?" Because that right there cinched his affections and he felt a swell of heat through him, moving in to kiss her neck while her head was turned.

[solo_sword]

Her eyes fluttered shut automatically and she smiled, replying, "No. I think you should say it again to make up or it."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

He leaned in to kiss her closed eyes lightly. "I love you." Probably not so much the sex pollen's fault, that.

[solo_sword]

Even with all the hormones raging and just feeling generally good the last couple days, she preferred the feeling hearing those words gave her. She lifted her chin in an attempt to get closer to his lips, murmuring, "I love you too."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

See, and that was also nice to hear. "As you should." He leaned in to kiss her lightly.

[solo_sword]

Making a contented sound, she wrapped her arm more tightly around him, trying hard to keep things light for the moment. She didn't think that was working so well, but she'd be okay with that.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

It was not a good sign that they were already wrapped up with kissing. His stomach ached with complaint but the way her arm felt around him won out.

[solo_sword]

She didn't even remember why they'd even been talking about leaving. When it came to biological needs, this seemed to be winning out, her fingers tracing over his ribs as she realized once again that she had no desire to stop kissing him.
