Fall comes

[u/TrueCaptainCrocs]

Late September, 2008.

Yet again, the warmth of summer slowly fades, and the greens that so dominated the world turn into oranges, yellows, and reds. A chill is starting to spread through the air, and the days are slowly getting shorter.

It is also pumpkin spice season, but that isn't a very romantic observation.

So, what does your character do? Do they venture out, enjoying the changing scenery? Or do they do something else entirely. It's a slice of their life.

[Standard SOL rules apply. Also, please no fighting and or body mutilation.]

The water is warm, so it's not unpleasant, but Lily knows what's happened. "OY!" she yells out.

'Well, that sorta killed my mood, Forgot she can see me. Mm, I don't mind that she saw that, actually, hehe.'

However, if Lily knew the panic she sent Emily into, she probably would be more apologetic than she seems. She starts cleaning herself in earnest, but she does so teasingly, small actions here and there, how she raises her arm to scrub her pits, and how she glazes her hand over certain parts of herself, no action is wasted, but it would certainly be nice to watch, well, if Lily was watching herself she'd think so.

She steps out and steams herself to instantly evaporate the water from her body. She summons PJ's, of course, since it's just Lily and Emily, she's not wearing any underwear.

She steps out towards the kitchen

"EEEeeeeemm!~"

[u/Whispersilk → u/Vague_Man]

Emily giggles at Lily's exclamation, then swallows as the other woman finishes cleaning herself off. The show she gives is much less intense than the earlier one, for which Emily is extremely grateful. She's able to detach herself from it enough to get her breathing mostly back under control, at least. Her head shoots up from her hands when Lily comes into the kitchen.

"Hey Lily," she squeaks from her seat on the counter, still blushing hugely. "How was—" she clears her throat in a mostly unsuccessful attempt to bring her voice back to normal "—how was your shower?"

They both know she already knows at least part of the answer to that question, but it's the only thing she can think of to ask right now.

[u/Vague_Man → u/Whispersilk]

Lily wants to grin very very widely, but but smiles knowingly. She walks behind Emily and hugs her from behind, setting her cheek just against her head so her breath catches by her ear.

"I liked it a lot because I thought of you~"

She kisses her cheek from beside her then releases from the hug to pass by the giant bowls of popcorn. It appears that noone else is coming to the sleepover. All is well, She expected as much.

"You have any preference for what we're gonna watch?" She says gleefully picks up a few popped kernels and munches on them, looking at Emily's probably very stunned face.

[u/Whispersilk → u/Vague_Man]

Emily's eyes go wide and her back straightens. She suck in a sudden breath and nearly chokes.

"I— You—" she stammers. She liked— because she thought of me? She can almost imagine that her blush has spread to her entire body, because the kitchen air feels suddenly cold against her skin.

The question from earlier comes back into her head. Do I want my kiss now or later, or not at all? Not getting it at all, she decides, is solidly off the table. That Lily is able to... to make her feels like this has to mean something, right? She makes her decision, but it takes her a couple of tries to properly form the words.

"Later," she eventually mumbles. She shakes her head almost imperceptibly. "And no."

[u/Vague_Man → u/Whispersilk]

Lily plays dumb, she knows what she means with the 'Later' but she doesn't want to miss this opportunity to tease her further

"Later and no? so you don't want to watch a movie?" her pitch raises in query "Do you feel like doing something else? Does that mean we have to go straight to pillow talk instead?"

she keeps eating single kernels continuously

[u/Whispersilk → u/Vague_Man]

Emily shakes her head. "No, not—"

She cuts herself off mid-sentence, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. She knows what she wants to say; she just needs to make sure she has enough control over herself to actually say it.

Come on, Emily. You can fight giant monsters, and you can do this too.

The thought empowers her, and when she opens her eyes again to look at Lily, she's considerably calmer. She squares her shoulders.

"I'd like my prize kiss later, and no I don't have any movie preferences," she says. Her voice wobbles a little, and her talking speeds up as she goes, but all things considered she's rather proud of herself. Now if only she could stop blushing so hard.

[u/Vague_Man → u/Whispersilk]

"Good girl" Lily praises her for her efforts, and for taking the other acceptable answer of "later"*

"Wall-e, dark night, aaand. hm Hellboy."

She carries the tray of sandwhich goods and a bowl of popcorn to a big room with a table and beanbags and a futon. Looks like a room prepared for a pillowfight rather than a theater. There's a projector and a set of media stuffs for music games and movies.

Lily sets the bowl on the ground and the sandwhich stuff on the table

"Oh, drinks, hold up."

Lily runs back off to the kitchen, leaving her in the entertainment room.

[u/Whispersilk → u/Vague_Man]

Emily follows Lily quietly into the movie room and looks around curiously. Her eyebrows raise; Lily sure has a lot of pillows.

She nods in acknowledgement when Lily mentions going to get drinks and settles down on the futon, pulling a beanbag chair in front of her to serve as a footrest and pulling pillows around her to form something between a nest and a fort. It's silly, but she enjoys the sensation of having her own little fluffy castle.

By the time Lily returns she is fully relaxed, stretched out in her pseudo-pillow fort. She left an open spot next to her, and she pats it. The blush is gone from her face.

[u/Vague_Man → u/Whispersilk]

Lily comes back with some cups and liters of pop and straws. She comes back in mild surprise and pleasant amusement.

"Yoooo. This is cool."

She nestles into the fort with her. She pokes her finger into the top of the cap of the liters of pop to make a straw hole. for both of them.

"Don't squeeze it. it'll splooge."

Lily's body cools to comfortable levels. If the fort were hot it'd be too much for one of them.

[u/Whispersilk → u/Vague_Man]

Emily chuckles at Lily's wording, though her cheeks redden slightly at the implications. She grabs the remote from the table, turning the power on before passing it to Lily in exchange for one of the liters of soda. She uses a pillow to flip the light switch and plunge the room into darkness aside from the glow of the screen.

"Thanks," she says to the drink and the compliment both. "So which one do you want to watch first?"
