[okay, well, it's not only possible but likely that Lina's overstepped, but it's. see, now she's stressed out and it's her own fault! it was supposed to be a joke but now Kara's sort of taking it seriously? now Lina needs to come up with an answer. ugh, she messed up.]
M-maybe not right now? [great start, girl.] I just. I meant it as a joke but if it's actually something that's. On the table, um. It should probably be a bigger conversation than this?
[she has No Idea how this is supposed to work. she's not... smooth.]
[ there's an uptick in her heart rate for sure, but she's not worried. Jen just kind of. laughs? her bright, truly amused sort of laughter. she rests her hand on Kara's leg and sort of leans over her, closer to Lina. surely, humor will defuse some of the sudden awkwardness and sexual tension, right? ]
Haha, see? Kara's so smooth sometimes, she doesn't even realize it.
[ they're all so useless in their own ways. but also overly considerate of each other.
this is a little like when Kara joked about dressing up in sexy costumes for Jen and then it. happened. it was spontaneous but did involve actual communication before it actually happened. a lot like when they first got together that day at the garage. things could have just escalated without any consideration for the long-term effects, but that wasn't like Kara to do. the same in speaking with Lina; laying down the boundaries (and also expanding them later)... ]
Look... [ she turned and straddled her legs over Kara's, the thick comforter between them. Jen thought it was better to look at the both of them head-on and clearly this was the best way to do it. ] Maybe Lina's right. Much as I'd jump at the idea, we .... could .... talk about it over actual breakfast>
[No, it wasn't anything that Kara would've planned or expected, and despite her past she is still kind of innocent...especially of the power that she has over two useless lesbians. Puffing out a laugh, she stares up at Jen with gratitude and surprise. She was still kind of wow about herself for accidentally slipping like that, and she definitely would've wanted to discuss that stuff beforehand. Since as nice as it sounded, there was a definite boundary that would be crossed by that and everyone needed to be on the same page.]
...oh yeah...I mean...yeah. I wasn't really meaning that. [Is she blushing? Yes.] If you guys were serious though, yes, I'd want to talk about that first.
[she doesn't want to get out of bed, even if she's making motions to do so (but still definitely not leaving this cuddle pile yet). but someone's gotta make the food. and if she gives them a little privacy then maybe they can discuss whether this is even going to be a thing with them, before Lina even gets involved.]
This whole conversation has me in the mood for something light and sweet. I'm thinking... milchreis with fresh strawberries? [she does not pronounce the German word correctly.]
[ Jen wouldn't know the difference if she had or not, she heard it loud and clear with her stomach. ] I'm absolutely sold on strawberries with... whatever the rest is. [ look, she's beaming. she trusts Lina's cooking and has yet to be let down by her in the kitchen at all. ]
Oh, um, can you see if Zwei's still sleeping? I'll need to feed him if he's up. [ which would also require leaving the warm and cozy bedroom. but he's going to be curled up in his own doggie bed anyway so all is well.
she leans herself down, laying atop Kara with the layers between them still. ] Don't worry about us. We'll keep the bed warm for you. [ and absolutely talk things out while Lina's out of the room. ]
[And Kara has no idea what that is...but if it makes Lina happy, she's all for it.]
Sounds good, Lina.
[And with that...Kara clams up, looking up at Jen while...basically powerless. That look she's getting is absolutely, positively enough to leave her wondering if she's in trouble or......maybe not.]
[and even if she doesn't want to leave all the warmth and the bodies of maybe her two closest friends, Lina peels herself away and practically rolls out of bed so her t-shirt and pajama pants can see the light of the slowly-approaching day.]
It shouldn't take long to make, but let me know when you're ready, okay? I'll keep it warm for you and give you some breakfast in bed.
[and she takes her leave, even closing the door so they can have a little more privacy. there should be more than enough light coming in from outside now.]
[ though it ought to be a while yet, so Jen waits a few long moments after the door is shut to ensure Lina's far enough away before she turns to face Kara once more.
and then promptly buries her face in the puffy pile of blankets over her chest. ] Oh. My. God!
[ she comes up for a breath after that muffled shouting, weakly batting at Kara's shoulders in futile frustration. ] I thought my face was going to catch on fire!
I'm - ugh! [ a disgusted sound isn't usually a good prelude to a kiss, but Jen made it one. it lingers on for a moment and the heat on her face is going to be obvious throughout that, and after, when she's propped up on her arms just hovering near Kara's face. ]
Of course I'm not mad. I... already told Lina about what you said to me the other night, and all of us know what the others have been up to with each other until now. [ including the "arrangement", what happened between them around Halloween, and so on. ] So. I ... kind of assumed that was an extension of that.
[ a pout. ] I don't think it was that much of a stretch for my imagination, okay.
[Humming softly around the kiss, Kara catches Jen around the middle and holds her close, not letting her retreat. Her grin turns from sheepish to sly in an instant, and she fails utterly to keep from laughing at that pout.]
I guess not. It just...was an idle comment. I'm not really expecting that to happen, or sure if you guys are comfortable with that, though. If it's something you both want, we can talk it out, or we can just let it go. This goes no further, if you don't want it.
[She pops up and kisses Jen again, quick and light, and then flops back down.]
You know I like indulging you in your fantasies, though. And I'm pretty sure this is one, even if you aren't saying it. I just want you happy...honest.
[ oh god, there's that look on Kara's face again. the sort of look she has trouble resisting. it's a good thing they're in Lina's bed and not either of their own - though, given what she was suggesting, that isn't actually helpful to Jen in the slightest.
the pouts her way through the kiss, glancing away right after. ] I admit nothing. [ which is effectively admitting the thought had crossed her mind once or twice. ]
I'm just. Continually surprised by how thoughtful you are. And open. [ here she gave Kara a sidelong look with a matching smirk. ] And horny.
[Yeah...Jen. She can hear your heart thumping already.]
Heheh...[Kara rolls to the side, pulling Jen down and flipping their positions so she's resting on top and they're basically caught up in a blanket tube.]
I am always willing to try something new with you. And you're always the one to suggest it. So I think maybe it's you that's the horny one.
[Eyes sparkling, she leans further down, lips coming to rest near Jen's ear so she can whisper...]
Not that I mind. You get me going like nobody else.
Eek! [ if it wasn't racing before, it certainly is now. though being constricted as she is by the layers is actually not as much of a turn-on as just having Kara on top of her in any way. and the whispering. ]
You're. D-damn right I do. [ though it's Jen that's going weak in the knees in the moment, so there's no confidence to back up her bolstering. she swallowed a lump and wriggled around some. stupid comforter!! ] Look. Are we... sure Lina doesn't have super hearing too? She's gotten strength back recently. You've seen how buff she's getting.
[ Jen, not all people have the same power set and progression. ]
[Kara holds her close, but flexes her arms a bit to loosen the comforter for Jen. Her head tilts back to listen to the sound of Lina cooking and...pretty normal vitals so...]
She's not listening at the door, and she's not really got an elevated heartrate. It's pretty relaxed, honestly, she seems to enjoy cooking a lot. I think we can talk safely.
[ that is reassuring. and momentarily distracting, too. ] Good. She's enjoyed it ever since she was a kid, you know. I've seen it. Back in the forest.
She ... definitely deserves to be happy, too. Especially after her recent family drama. [ which is something worth mentioning, but she won't delve too deep into unless Kara already knows the details. it's only directly relevant to set the mood anyway. ]
So. If I can do can something nice for her, I want to. I... don't really think I can set a limit on making her happy. Does. That make sense?
[Kara nods, laying down a little to the side so she's not squishing Jen, but they're still touching. No sense in that.]
It makes perfect sense. But...look, if the three of us do this, it's about you too. It's not a decision you make if you're not comfortable with the idea.
[Snuggling in closer to the curve of Jen's neck...Kara rubs it with her nose.]
I am okay with it. I'm definitely okay with doing what I can to make Lina happy, because she deserves so much better than what she's dealing with.
Mm. I know. [ she nuzzles right on back, feeling somewhat calmer and cozier but still on that delightful edge because of Kara's closeness. the whole bed smells of Lina the most, but now there's also the whiff of Jen and Kara mingled in with that. it really lends itself well to thinking about them being together. ]
It's just like you said. I wouldn't have said anything if it wasn't on my mind before. [ freer to move now, Jen pulled a hand free to rest it on Kara's cheek. ] And it would be nice - if it did happen - it was something planned and not too spontaneous. Like. "out of our control" spontaneous.
[Kara chuckles, leaning into the touch. She knew Jen had been thinking that. It was so, so obvious.]
And yes, I agree. I think it's something that the three of us should talk about, and arrange. Today isn't the right time for it. Maybe...Christmas? After we've sat down and set down ground rules.
Right. A Christmas surprise - or, well, not a literal surprise but. Oh! You know what I meant.
[ Jen reveled in the joyful expression, too, going in for a kiss since that worked better than words sometimes. though there were some other words she wanted to share in that moment. ] I love you. I don't think I say that enough.
[ has she. actually said that at all at any time that wasn't heat-of-the-moment (or right thereafter)? likely not. ]

...oh my god I did say it like that...didn't I.
