I mean, I could call Krypto if you want more furballs.
[But really, she knows better. This is teasing, and that's all. One hand does leave Lina, awkwardly sliding back so she can rub some part of Jen. Probably a thigh.]
But I think I can forgive you a bit if you keep squishing up against me like that.
[unacceptable. Lina deserves all the attention. she's the cat in this scenario.]
Phrasing, Jen. [she wasn't gonna leave her hanging. maybe she should roll over and cuddle Kara face-to-face... make a nice little super-sandwich or something. she won't yet, but as the thought strikes her she realizes she really is feeling gay this morning. it's nice, though. it's nice to have something to take her mind off everything.]
[ Jen honestly forgot what she said two seconds ago because that's the kind of morning this has become. not one to dwell on the little details but focus on the bigger picture. this is soft, warm, comfortable. it feels right. the gym? could wait. the frog pajamas? didn't matter. Zwei not barking when someone (even with a key) barged in at the break of dawn and made their way to one of their bedrooms...?
okay. she'll actually have to talk with him about that later.
everything else just works together. it fits. this may be one of the best things Kara has ever suggested. ]
Mm, I can do that.
[ it doesn't cross her mind that it might be out of place to lean in and place a kiss right behind Kara's ear in that moment, but that's also right as Lina asked her question. ] I, uh. Guess so? Except for me being denied hugs. That's new to me.
[don't be too hard on the poor doggo, Kara very likely moved faster than he could detect...and left him a treat on the way in. She's like that. Zwei is a good boy, but any dog can be distracted by a friend...and a supersonic bone delivery.
Kara relents just a little bit, tilting her head back so her ear is closer to Jen.]
More or less...yeah. Usually she's not laughing at my outfits. [No it's not all about sex.]
'sides, I can't exactly spoon both of you and I'm kind of in the middle, size wise. But I guess I can lay on my back and you both cuddle me. That might be kinda nice.
The outfits aren't usually this... fuzzy and cute. [ Jen is not going to state more about what kind of costumes have been involved, of course, just like she doesn't have to think about the suggestion for more than an instant either. she's already in position for it. she just has to raise her arm and scoot back a hair to give Kara room to go flat and then it's right back to being snugged up against her side.
on the plus side, she can claim dibs on draping her arm lazily near Kara's chest, as it's the softest and probably warmest spot right now.
the other benefit is that Jen can catch get sight of Lina's face for the first time in a while, and give her a smile. ] By the way, I think can I forgive you for resisting, now. [ as if she was still on the fence earlier. ]
[Kara, legitimately in heaven sandwiched between her two best gals, slides arms underneath the pair and curls them around. her fingers start tracing idle patterns against their backs.
She rolls her head to one side to peck Lina's cheek, and then back over to give Jen a firmer one on the lips.]
I think I can see why. [Lina, at least, feels really happy.] So...ah...what did spark this? Other than the need to have me around.
[oh! oh. this. she's so gay. Kara and Jen are so cute and Lina is just happy that she gets to be this close to them. it's hard to stop her heart from fluttering even if the only kiss she gets is on her cheek. she's so, so happy for the two of them—she doesn't know Kara as well yet, but Vera seemed really concerned about Jen having someone to take care of her, and just from this, it's clear that Kara is that person.]
[she smiles dreamily and almost forgets that she should be answering a question. or participating in a conversation at all.]
Oh, um. Yeah. Heh. [great work! nailed it. she glances at her roommate sheepishly.] I think Jen wanted to... [okay, well. time to throw her under the bus.] She wanted to get another opinion on how cute we both are in the morning.
[ Jen slid her right arm further up under the pillow now to make room for Kara's arm because she knows laying on it is not the most comfortable thing.
Jen is definitely feeling all the good, soft vibes this morning in her own sort of way. there is a momentary spark of something not too far from jealousy upon seeing Lina get attention first, and she might have lingered on the kiss a moment longer than Kara intended when it came her turn, but that's just again her right? privilege? something.
it's not a negative feeling at all. that probably would have been expected for anyone else, but Jen is very much in a "share the love" sort of mood and everything happening fits perfectly within that safe and warm bubble. ]
Mmmhmm, that's most of it. But also, I was telling Lina that we were thinking about making sleepover plans.
[Kara chuckles, glad that Jen's taking this well. She's not really straying, since the blonde is right there and invited her, and she does want to make sure Lina knows she's a valued and appreciated part of this cuddling equation.
But she doesn't want any jealousy...so Jen gets another kiss...this time on the nose. And Lina, well...she gets a little laugh. Way to throw Jen under the bus.]
Well you both look extra cute this morning, and not just because I'm in the middle of the gayest sandwich I've ever been in.
And yes, we should definitely just have a sleepover sometime.
[Lina has, by now, found a way to settle herself up against Kara on her side without being too obtrusive, her head resting on a pillow and her right hand, underneath the comforter, daring to brush against Kara's stomach. she'll deal with how her left arm is definitely going to fall asleep later.]
I told her we can talk about cute girls, but if two of the cutest girls I know are already going to be there...
[this is an extremely gay sandwich and Lina loves it. Lina loves this freedom, this warmth—literal and otherwise. she's at peace right now and the way she just lets her body sink into Kara should prove it.]
[ Jen let out a giggle at the kiss, scrunching up her nose and eyes as if that would somehow mask the joy it gave her. she found her fingertips tracing the soft lining of Kara's pajamas near her collarbone. ]
Let's face it: we're all super biased, here. And I still haven't though of who else to invite alone, but... I'm also feeling a bit spoiled after this.
Maaaaaybe...we can just start with the three of us then?
[Kara giggles and turns to Lina, kissing her too, this time on the tip of the nose.]
A trial run with my best girls sounds like the perfect opportunity to spoil each other. After that...maybe we can drag Vera in and she how many shades of red we can make her cheeks turn.
[speaking of, getting that kiss on the nose makes Lina's cheeks turn just the slightest pink. it's so cute and Kara's so cute. she's got an incredibly one-track mind right now and it doesn't even matter.]
I'm one of your best girls? [she sounds honored, and then proud of herself.] Well, as one of your best girls, let me say that I know firsthand the number of shades of red Vera can go. It's... all of the shades. Every one of them.
Hah. It's more like eighty shades for Vera. [ it's another kiss for Lina. cool. it's fine, it's cute, there's nothing wrong with it. Jen beams until she nearly chokes on her spit. swiftly drawing herself up onto her right arm and looking down at Lina in surprise. she isn't too sure why she leapt to the conclusion she did, or why it mattered, or even what the shocked look on her reddened face might look like. ]
Wait... [ and then of course she looks at Kara because - well, okay, she had sort of known about Kara and Vera before they got together, but even that was just a hunch. this could be some entirely innocent misunderstanding or otherwise Jen jumping to conclusions but. well. she knows Vera. and she knows everyone here. ]
[oh, now she sounds sheepish, cutting in after Kara to maybe defuse something? she's not totally sure what Jen's reaction was about, really. she'll also be perfectly glad to... well, it's a lie by omission.]
Vera and I might have made out a little. Surprise?
[ first she looks to Kara, but feeling more flustered than anything. ] Y-yeah, you did. [ then to Lina. ] And - that's... good?
[ she puts her other hand over her eyes and sighs. ] Sorry. I know Vera's been feeling especially lonely lately. And she and Yang - Weiss and Yang - were. Close. I think?
[ Jen flopped back down onto the mattress, but on her back and still with her hand in place over her face. ] How did half the lesbians in the entire city end up in bed together?
[Kara hums, and now that Jen's laid back down, deliberately snuggles up by laying her froggy head on her shoulder. She's doing her best. She really is. But her wild ways in the past...?]
...I don't know. There aren't so many of you.
[She excludes herself from that for...fairly obvious reasons...]
Vera's definitely someone who should be on the list. She's nice, and if she's lonely then we really need to make sure she gets company.
Then it's decided. Cute girl sleepover party includes Vera.
[Lina looks towards the two of them getting closer to each other and smiles. that she's being included in anything like this at all means a lot; she's not about to get jealous or anything. she's an adult. her arm reaches over to lay on both of them.]
If that's okay with you, Jen? I know I don't exactly have the best track record with people Two was close with. I don't know if Weiss and Yang got along.
[ Jen was speaking in a broader sense, not necessarily about present company, but she has a bad habit of forgetting that one important detail about Kara, since, well, it doesn't come up all that often when she's around. when Kara shifts, she reaches up to push the fabric of the kigu aside because she'd much rather have no barrier between them.
it's harder to reach that arm all the way across without turning onto her side again, so she'll just rest her hand on Lina's hand. ]
Oh, no, it's fine. They didn't always get along but something definitely changed at some point. I feel like teammates pretty much have to grow closer to survive in that world. [ she gave Lina's hand a bit of a squeeze. ]
Heh. Though for this party, I'm pretty sure Vera might actually die. [ a beat. ] I'm, uh, kind of surprised she came out to... well. Anyone? She's usually a lot more. Defensive about it than even I am. [ more like "aggressively in denial". ]
[It'd be really easy to just nuzzle up to Jen and start to fall back to sleep, even if she is well and truly awake. Still, it's tempting, feeling warm as she is, and just comfortable with the two people pressed in around her.
Commentary about Vera, though...well...uh.]
I don't think she came out to me so much as came on to me. And I sorta egged her on, of course. [As she does.]
And then I just stopped letting her say she was straight with me. She kinda cut it out after that.
[Lina's not opposed to the idea, either, of falling asleep with two incredibly cute girls in her bed. heck, she's on the outside; if they both fall asleep, she could slip out and make everyone breakfast, and just thinking about that makes her smile while the girlfriends talk about Vera.]
She took me out for a spa day last month and I brought up that I'm a lesbian first. I guess I made her feel safe? [it comes out with a verbal shrug, because she's in no position to do a physical one.] I get why she'd want to keep it on the down-low, but I don't know if she gets to call it much of a secret anymore.
Some of that sounds familiar. [ look, she's becoming more self-aware! someone stop her.
but not before she turns onto her side and lays herself against Kara again, throwing her arm over to catch Lina and pull her into this, too. it gives her time to think about what she wants to say next. it might not be Jen's place to give this information out, but it's relevant, and was in Vera's best interest, and she trusts the people she's giving it to. ]
I was taken off the app for months, too - as Yin. Before I met you both. [ she nuzzles in closer, her voice growing quiet. ] So, like, I get where she's coming from. [ in addition to her reasons to keep things quiet from a bigtime corporate family. ]
[Which is sort of rough. She didn't know much about this Yin character beyond that it was some other version of Jen...like the Scientist Kara. Not a thing she wants to dwell on, given how happy she has become of late.]
Sounds like she really needs the support, then. So, we should try and invite her to stuff more, I think.
