Room 330, Thursday Evening

[genesishero]

It had been... well, definitely some kind of week. The very distracted sort of week, in fact, where Evan had alternated between trying to study and trying to work off some of that excess energy that he had all pent up since Monday. He'd even called in on what would have been his first day of work, explaining to his new boss that there was no way he was going to be able to do his job in the middle of all of this pollen.

Calling in pollenated was completely legitimate around here, right?

This evening, he was smack-dab in the middle of 'working it off' mode. His books were all piled up on the other side of the room and he'd cleared a space in the middle of the floor, where he was doing push-ups. Lots and lots and lots of push-ups. Kinda pasty shirtless push-ups. Because, really, what else was there for it?

He was desperately hoping this whole thing would wear off before the visitors could begin arriving to the island tomorrow.

[OOC: Expecting one, but open if anyone wants to visit Evan beforehand.]

Wow. Oh wow. Why didn't they do this more often? Sholeh would ask him, but that would require her to move her mouth and that was just silly.

There was very important kissing to be done.

Such very important kissing also required her to lightly hold his shoulders to make sure he didn't go anywhere. She liked him--and his mouth--exactly where it was.

[genesishero]

The encouragement was welcome, too! Evan hummed happily, settling into the kiss. He had no idea if he was actually any good at it, but he was certainly enjoying it, and the way Sholeh's hands closed around his shoulders, and the way he could get a little closer to her still if he just shifted his weight a bit, kneeling on the floor before her and stretching upward like so...

He wanted to be really, really close to her.

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

Close was good. Close was almost as good as kissing! Maybe not quite as good, but Sholeh had vague memories of a time when closeness had been even better--though she had been wearing fewer layers between them that time.

Many fewer. Like...none at all. Just skin to skin and the closeness had been wonderful.

She stretched upwards and she leaned forwards, her hands tentatively sliding over his shoulders to his back, pushing herself that much closer still...

The desk chair tilted forward with her weight, creaking a bit on its pivot.

[genesishero]

It creaked a little more still when Evan wrapped his arms around her, just the once, and straightened his back slightly. He paid it no attention. He was thoroughly lost in the kiss, and the way her hands felt on his back, and how much he wanted to just pull her into his lap and maybe keep her there forever...

He hummed softly, to let her know that he was quite happy with the situation as it stood. In case she'd been worried.

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

Sholeh hadn't been worried, but the confirmation was nice anyway. Her answering noise was indicative of the same. One leg made its way out from under her skirts and hooked around his thigh and each breath pressed her chest against his, making her breasts tingle under the many layers of fabric that separated them.

She shifted forward, trying to get closer yet--and the chair finally gave up, toppling over and spilling Sholeh onto the floor.

Or, more accurately, onto Evan.

[genesishero]

... And suddenly, Evan was on his back on the floor. Evan was on his back on the floor with Sholeh on top of him, and he was blinking up at her, wide-eyed, with his arms around her and his heart thumping in his ears.

"Whoa... Are you okay?"

Because falling was a bit of a moodkiller.

For... a second or two. And then he found himself keenly aware of the fact that he was shirtless, and his girlfriend was on top of him.

"... Hi."

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

"I'm okay," Sholeh said. "You kinda broke my fall. Thank you."

And what better way to thank him than by giving him another kiss? Sholeh couldn't think of any!

Kissing in a chair and leaning against one another was nice. Kissing while you were lying on top of someone and they were topless? WAY NICER.

[genesishero]

So, Evan was going to just stay down here. On the floor. Here on the floor was where he was going to stay. Forever. Just so long as Sholeh was okay with staying, too. Was she?

She should be. That would be kind of awesome.

And if his fingers tightened a little around the fabric of her dress and clung on, well, maybe that was just his way of letting her know, since his mouth was otherwise occupied.

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

One of the reasons this relationship worked so well was because Evan and Sholeh were very compatible. They liked books and school work and apparently laying on the floor kissing one another. These were excellent things to have in common, yes.

Moving? What kind of idiot would want to do that? She liked the way he felt beneath her, the way his fingers were clutching her dress, the way his lips were pressed against hers.

More talks about books should end this way.

[genesishero]

Really, if talks about books ended this way all the time, they'd probably never talk about anything else. Which Evan was okay with. What else was there to talk about?

He was going to be super daring now, and-- There had been a thing he remembered doing on that weekend when they were all older, where they weren't just kissing, they were kissing with tongue. Would it be too bold of him to try that?

Sholeh would stop him if it was, right?

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

You'd better believe she definitely would!

...Once he did something that Sholeh didn't think was appropriate. Tongue was not such a thing, however. Tongue seemed only right and natural and good on him for thinking of it!

His tongue slid between her lips and she opened her mouth a little wider to accommodate him. Her finger stroked his cheek and then she slipped him her tongue, too.

[genesishero]

It really should be noted that Evan hadn't done much kissing, except for shy pecks on Sholeh's cheek, in his whole life. And now he was kissing. With tongue. While shirtless. On his floor.

The Evan of last week would probably never have believed it. He hardly did himself, now. But it was good. It was really good, even if neither of them were particularly good at it, and he found himself closing his eyes and getting lost in it a little bit.

Up until Ozzy came up and started sniffing at their hair. That part was a tiny bit distracting.

And then Evan was trying very hard to not crack up.


[I'M SORRY I HAD TO MY BRAIN COULDN'T AAAH.]

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

It was definitely a good reminder that they probably shouldn't be on the floor and making out, especially while Evan was topless. She was having trouble coming up with reasons why right now, but she was fairly certain there were some.

Though Evan's very obvious struggle not to laugh was making her huffy. "This isn't funny!" she said, finding it rather difficult to bury her face in her hands when they were partially tucked under him. "It's embarrassing!"



[AHAHAHAHAHA! I WIN MAKEOUT CHICKEN!]

[genesishero]

"It's... it's a little silly," Evan replied, smiling up at her brightly. "I'm not going to tell anybody what happened, though. And... I mean... you're not embarrassed to be kissing me, are you?"

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

"Yes!" Sholeh said, before realizing how that likely sounded. "I mean, no, not like that. Not the way you're thinking."

It wasn't possible for her to blush any brighter, but, by golly, she was giving it the old college try.

"I'm embarrassed by how, umm, wantonly I was kissing you," she admitted. "It was nice. Really nice. I didn't really want to stop. I felt very...sexy."

And that, Evan, was embarrassing.

[genesishero]

"Oh..." Evan took a moment to consider that, and then just kind of shrugged his shoulders and smiled up at her again. "Well, up until Ozzy interrupted, what we were doing was pretty sexy. I mean..."

He wasn't sure what he meant, except that apparently being pinned to the floor and kissed silly was amazing.

"It felt great. You felt great. And you shouldn't be embarrassed by that."

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

"It's just..." She flailed around a bit. "I'm not a sexy person!"

Still laying on top of her boyfriend with kiss-swollen lips notwithstanding, of course.

[genesishero]

Evan just raised an eyebrow and licked his lips at that, arms still around her, hands pulling her just a little closer.

"Right now, you are."

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

Evan reeeeeeally shouldn't do things like that if he wanted her to remain focused on the conversation at hand.

"But I won't be when this ends," she murmured, her eyes locked on his mouth. "And you'll be stuck with plain, old Sholeh who isn't sure if it's okay to hold your hand, rather than the Sholeh who does this..."

And she was leaning down to kiss him again.

[genesishero]

And he was leaning up to meet her in that kiss, humming his approval as they picked up where they left off. It was a slightly shorter kiss than before, if only because when they needed to come up for air, Evan gave her a wry little smile.

"I love holding your hand, you know. I'm just never sure if it's okay for me to reach for yours."

Evan-who-does-this was better at talking about this kind of thing, at least.

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

"I like it when you hold my hand," Sholeh said simply. "I like it when you do a lot of things. It makes me feel...special. Surprised. Like...like there really is someone out there that wants to kiss me and hold my hand and who once..." she ducked her head and blushed. "...Once counted my freckles."

[genesishero]

Oh. Oh wow, memories. Kind of hazy ones, but memories all the same, with an Evan who used his codename and who presented the world with a shape not entirely his own.

An Evan who was far, far bolder than he was now.

"I don't think I ever did finish counting," he murmured, a tint of pink to rival her own spreading over his cheeks again. "We both kept getting distracted."

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

"You were, umm, very distracting," Sholeh murmured. "Especially your mouth."

What with the kissing and the talking and the...many, many other things his mouth had done.

"I kind of wish that that night wasn't so hard to remember," she confessed. "What I do remember is pretty--" erotic "--nice."

[genesishero]

"I do remember a lot of what we were doing," Evan noted softly, tracing the contours of her body with his hands, getting to know the curve of her hips. "I really don't think I had any complaints, either."

He swallowed, and then leaned up to kiss her again.

"I remember you were the only person I really wanted to be distracting with."

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

To Sholeh, her hips were just the part that connected her legs to the rest of her. She'd never given them much more thought than that, save for those times she'd banged one side of the other walking and reading at the same time.

Evan's hands on her hips made her question how she'd taken them for granted for so very long now.

"You remember?" she asked, voice husky now. "Do you think about it often?"

Like, say, this week?
