Besties Match

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn was still a little on the grumpy side that she had been awaken at 5 a.m. in the morning to be asked a question by Vera. Vera knew very well that Devyn was not a morning person, especially when that time was normally when she was actually falling asleep after being up for a good bit of the night. Yet, most of that grumpiness was gone by the fact that Vera had asked Devyn to prom with her, which was kind of shocking. Devyn actually didn't plan on going to prom, wanted to stay far away from it as possible. It was not actually her kind of thing and she had only gone last year because she wanted to give it a try and knew that Zoe wanted to go.

Now Vera wanted to go, or kind of had to go because of being a security intern probably and she had asked Devyn to go with her. Not Ri-Boy or Frozen-Twin, but her. Did that mean anything? Well they were besties and it was perfectly normal for besties to go out to parties and dances with one another. Devyn had done it before and especially with Vera in the past. Plus she could help Vera out and she would get to see Vera in a dress that was no doubt going to just be candy for the eyes, and perhaps just wrapping on the floor later on.

Just come in when you get here, I left things unlocked. Taking a quick shower.

Devyn sent the text to her friend a few minutes ago before she hoped into the shower. Vera told her she would be coming over later on in the day so they could work out matching outfits, but it was still taking Devyn a bit to get up. She was a bit of a slow riser unless there was danger or something, so she was taking a shower in hopes to wake herself up and well she needed to bathe of course. "Just rinsing my hair, I'll be out in a sec." Devyn called out when she was pretty sure she heard the door to her bedroom open and close. Her bathroom door cracked so with steam slipping through the cracks. She never liked keeping the bathroom door fully closed; the steam just fogged everything up and made her feel like she was sweaty instead of wet.

Vera paused right as she fully opened the door. "Take your time!" Leave it Devyn to be able to hear her bedroom door while the sound of all of that rushing water so happened to be running. Not like she could blame Dev for her abilities. The girl had a knack for catching on to everything... just as long as it wasn't relationships and social issues.. then yeah, pretty much everything else.

In tote, Vera held two dresses that she had bought out of shopping habit and before she asked Devyn to prom. But seeing how she was now set on going, she figured they could start from there and Dev could pick which color she'd be most willing to match. Placing the two dresses on her bed, Vera kicked off her shoes and walked straight into the bathroom. Her almond shape eyes squinted at the steam and fog as she made her way to the toilet and simply flushed it.

If her bathroom worked like Vera's did, the temperature of the shower should either go extremely cold or extremely hot for those quick seconds. "Sheesh. There's enough steam in here to press  clothes. Aren't you like scorching your skin?"

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn didn't know if Vera was early or late but it didn't really matter since now she was the one holding them up. Still, she had fallen back to sleep after she was done texting Vera and had only gotten up a little while ago. She just made her bed, grabbed something to wear, and then hopped into the shower in hopes a nice hot shower would wake her up. Plus hot showers were awesome; they really helped out when her body was sore from a workout or healing from any injuries. Hearing a door open was easy for her. Hell, if she had been in her other form she would have been able to smell Vera enter the common area of Devyn's dorm room.

While the bathroom door had been basically open, the shower curtain for once was mostly closed, one of those that was clear but all you could fully make out was a blur of the body overall. It felt good on her scalp, each drop running down her body and getting rid of the soap remaining on her body and getting the conditioner out of her hair. It also made her realize just how long her hair had grown and that she should ask Vera if she should cut it short or trim it a little bit. She didn't want long hair that went down her back or anything crazy like that. "Wanna join m- ah fuckcolddamn!" Devyn had gone to tease Vera but then the water suddenly got ice cold and she was shoving the curtain aside as she jumped out of the shower.

One could not just be in a nice hot shower and then have to do with the sudden chill of ice cold water. Devyn could handle the cold, but that had been too drastic of a change and she was already shivering a little as she stood there dripping wet and glaring at Vera. "Well I like hot showers. If you wanted to see me wet and naked there was a damn well better way to do it." Devyn practically growled out. Dev moved then over to where she had her towel, which was resting on a basket next to the sink, having to step around that evil woman by the name of Vera in the process. "You really want me to fight you, huh?" Devyn asked as she started to work on drying off.

((1,500 post with Dev! Woo!))

[Vera M. Solway]

Licking her lips, she tried not to laugh out too much. There went her offer of joining her but she'd live. Cold water would give Devyn that extra jolt of 'Wake The Fuck Up', had she not already been fully awake. Vera tried to keep a straight face, even after Devyn jumped out the shower. "Oh." Her brows lifted as her hazel eyes violated all that was Devyn's privacy. Biting down on her bottom lip, she smiled. "I don't know, this was way more entertaining."

Vera stepped out the way before moving back into the bedroom. "I wouldn't say I'm against the idea, but you know. I wouldn't want you to chip a shadow claw." She teased, pushing the dresses on the bed to the side as she plopped down on it. "Okay so, I brought two dresses and I figured you could pick what you'd like better on me and from there, we'd figure out what you'd wear to prom. Which may not be as hard, unless you're picky of course." But she didn't really think Devyn would be the picky type, at least not as picky as Vera was when it came to formal outfits.

"Or we could totally rock the Devyn Solway look and go completely naked?" She grinned.

[Devyn Solway]

Oh, Devyn was most certainly awake now. Awake and growling low under her breath as she went to dry herself off. The hot water had made her body nice and warm and the cold water just wrecked that all and it was Vera's fault. The girl really wanted Devyn to beat her up and she had no problem throwing down with Vera. She knew the girl could fight well enough, she was a security intern and you didn't get that kind of job if you could not at least defend yourself and wreck someone else up. She did catch Vera looking at her, but she could not say anything about it.

They had seen each other naked plenty of time and if Vera was in her position her eyes would have been all over the girl as well. "Making someone cold is entertaining, huh? I keep that in mind." Devyn said as she started to dry off her body. Now she had a plan on getting the girl back that involved ice. Thankfully she had plenty of that in her freezer, so it was so going to be on if the opportunity presented itself. Then there was that tease, oh Vera was so going to get it. "Keep it up, Marcello. Just you wait." Devyn warned but her tone was a bit lighter.

Devyn slipped on a pair of briefs and a white tank top; because bras were lame unless she was going to work out, and headed into her bedroom where she spotted the dresses Vera was talking about. "Mmmm..." Devyn said, or well-made the sound as she stood there and started to work on drying her hair. "I like the white one. As for me, not picky at all." Devyn said after thinking what would be the most fun to tear off of Vera and also keep her well behaved for at least a good amount of time while she looked at it before the urge to rip it off became too much.

She chuckled at Vera's next comment as she tossed her towel to the floor and slipped on a pair of her black jeans. "I mean, I would not object to that. But, I can't promise my hands would stay off you then." Devyn teased and basically warned Vera. She even moved closer to the other girl, leaning in close to say that last bit before giving Vera a wink.

[Vera M. Solway]

The telekinetic grinned brightly in response to Devyn remembering what she did. "Yeah, yeah, yeah..." The threats were something she was used to and truth be told, Devyn seemed to always remember everything Vera did. How? She wasn't sure but she always had to be on her toes when around her best friend.

She eyed the white dress on the side of her before looking back up at Devyn, "Cool. Because I don't think the both of us can be picky. It already took me like two hours to end up with two dresses to pick from. I probably would've walked in here with my whole wardrobe." She shrugged, "I have issues. I know."

Vera sat up as she smiled, as her eyes followed Devyn's hands when jeans came into the picture. She noticed the wink, and bit down on her bottom lip. "I don't think I'd have to be naked for that to be the case." She teased back. Hopping off of the bed, she moved past Devyn and went straight for her closet. She knew damn well if they continued, they'd never get through with picking out a look for prom. After helping herself to her closet, Vera went through Devyn's clothes on the hangers. "I mean - is there anything specific you wanted to wear? I mean, since the white dress is clear winner, I'm sure you could wear either white or black. Or both."

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn did remember a lot, especially when it involved someone she cared about. That was why she still to this day didn't fully get...no, she was not going to think about that. She was hanging out with Vera, and deciding what they could wear to prom together. Going matching always seemed like the best bet and what you should do when you went to prom with someone. If you were going to be seen by everyone, all close, and dancing. Or just in general around the person you went to prom with you should at least match. It would have looked weird if Vera had gone wearing say blue and Devyn went with some kind of green.

"Two hours? Damn I'm happy that you were able to get it down to two." Devyn said as she looked at the dressed. She really could never understand how anyone could spend a long time just picking what they were going to wear. Dev sometimes just tossed things on, because she did buy things that she liked to wear. So there really should not have been a problem when it came to wearing something to even a special occasion. She even owned a couple of suits, which were perfect for this current situation. One that thankfully Vera seemed focused on, because Devyn just wanted to fool around a little bit.

Devyn chuckled a little bit at Vera's words. "Oh, don't think I can behave even when you are dressed?" Devyn asked. She figured she could, no she knew she could so long as Vera was not being tempting or anything. She was already resuming getting dressed as Vera headed over to her closest, behaving herself. For now. "I'll wear whatever. Since I picked what you should wear, you should pick what I wear. Seems fair to me." Devyn said as she moved to sit down on the free space on her bed. Not wanting to sit on the dresses or anything. She just enjoyed the view of her friend going through her closest as she dried her hair off.

"Suites are on the far left." Devyn said, figuring Vera find them with ease, but there were a lot of band t-shirts, jeans, and button ups. Sometimes Dev just hung everything up when she didn't feel like stuffing them into drawers.

[Vera M. Solway]

"Yeah, " She chuckled, "I was kinda tempted to bring eight more but with you being all Miss. Grumpy pants this morning, I thought against it." Vera sometimes had an obsession with clothes. People didn't really know this but she was seriously into the latest fashion, clothes and everything that made her look good. It was just hard to focus on stuff like that when you had to run back and forth from class to work every second of the day.

Looking towards Devyn, she smirked. "I think you know the answer to that." Did she really want her to answer that? Vera was sure they were both at fault when it came to their behavior around each other. "Okay, well... leave it to me then." She scooted towards the left as her fingers went through each item currently hanging. She slightly stuck her tongue out as she mentally put outfits together in her mind.

"Oh! Okay, so how about..." She grabbed a hanger that had a black blazer and dress pants. Letting go of it, she telekinetically kept it levitating in mid air as she found a nice white top with sleeves to go under. Vera used her powers to move the outfits off of the hangers while moving the white top underneath the blazer so that it looked like a complete outfit. "This." She took a few steps back, studying it as if it was some sort of scientific experiment. "Of course you'll be able to pick your own shoes, and belt... if you feel like wearing one. The blazer and pants are really classy but still comfortable. Then you'll have the white shirt underneath that gives the hint of us matching."

With a smile, she offered it to Devyn. "Yay or nay?" Honestly, she was pretty sure she could see Devyn pull it off. The girl was pretty hot. 

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn gave a half glare at Vera when the other girl brought up her being Miss. Grumpy in the morning. Right, that brought back the fact that Vera had texted her at four in the morning. "Four a.m., Vera. That normally around the time I fall asleep. You are lucky I didn't go to your room and rip you a new one for waking me up so early." Devyn said, letting out a low growl. Still, the question might have not been as serious as Devyn would have liked for such an early wake up, but it was a nice gesture.

Dev honestly planned on not going to the prom and was only going because her best friend had asked her. If anyone else had texted her at that hour, she probably would have glared at the text, rolled over, and then went back to sleep. Still, it was Vera and she do anything for that girl. She wanted her to be happy and not have to deal with her nightmares or any Ri Drama. Unless she wanted that Ri Drama, then she would support her in that, but from the text it seemed like she was done with the drama of pretty much everyone. "Hey, I can behave. I have not pounced on you yet." Devyn said, gesturing to how to was sitting like a good Dev on her bed.

She watched as Vera used her power to hold up clothing, matching out an outfit, and noticing just how into putting together something for Devyn to wear had shown something different in Vera. Here Dev thought Vera was set on doing security work, but perhaps the girl had another interest that she just not considered diving into. Devyn didn't say anything the whole time, just let Vera work her magic and well her powers until the set was complete. Devyn was not picky at all and it looked like it was a good match. "Yay." Devyn said with a nod.

Her head tilted to the side a little before she got up and moved closer towards Vera. She wanted to look into the girl's eyes when she asked the question so she knew she was getting an honest answer if Vera was hiding something. "You seem really passionate about outfits. Never considered doing that for a living? Casue even with your ability, you know you don't have to be on security, right?" Devyn asked. She hoped that no one had forced Vera into it or anything. She knew Vera did want to do that line of work form there past talks, but if the girl ever felt like branching out, Dev was ready to support her.

[Vera M. Solway]

"Right Devyn, because that's exactly what you'd do to me at four o'clock in the morning." She said sarcastically as she crossed her arms. "Besides, I can't help but to be up and going that early anyway. My schedule kinda limits me from an eleven hour sleeping pattern like yours." She turned to the girl and she uncrossed her arms. "At least you were the first person I thought about this morning." Puckering her lips at Devyn, teasingly. It wasn't like Vera planned on waking her up at that time everyday, she was sure she'd get over this one morning.

"Just because you haven't done it doesn't mean you weren't thinking it, and that's just as bad." Vera smirked but she wasn't really complaining, not at all. She'd be lying if she said she didn't like the fact that Devyn had to behave herself around her. It just made everything more tempting.

Vera gave a nod, "Awesome. Now we have our outfits all set for prom." She grabbed the hanger of the finished product and set it back into Devyn's closet, along with the empty hanger that once held the white shirt. Turning, she eyed Devyn, who had found her way next to her. She licked her lips and thought about it. "I did, once but I don't think the whole fashion world is for me." She telekinetically took her dresses from the bed and also hung them in Devyn's closet, knowing that she'd grab them later.

She turned back to Devyn and gave her a smile. "Besides, I'm passionate about a lot of things but that doesn't mean I should spend the rest of my life doing them. I think fighting for others and protecting them speaks to me more, you know? Doesn't make me feel so bad about my powers, it kinda makes me feel closer to my dad and it'll get me closer to being an officer. Or even better, who knows." She furrowed her brows at the last part, even with her eyes still connected to Devyn's. "I'm sure you have something like that..."

[Devyn Solway]

"I would be willing to do a lot of things to you at four in the morning." Devyn muttered under her breath. It came out like a half grumble with a hint of flirt in there, but she was still slightly bitter about being awakened at that hour. Plus she understood that Vera had not done it on purpose, it was likely spur of the moment sort of thing, and she did have a busy schedule. Devyn opened her mouth to argue that she didn't get that much sleep in a day. Then again, some days she did because of the amount of naps she took through the day. Altogether, it could maybe come close to that amount of time, depending on the day.

Still, on average she usually didn't get that much sleeps, but spent more time just trying to sleep. Vera's next words had Devyn feeling a little warm. She didn't really blush, so now that she was, she could not help but to look away and scratch the back of her neck. Devyn quickly tried to play it off by giving a playful flirt back. "That so? Was I the person in your dreams as well?" Devyn asked as she looked back to Vera with a sly smirk. There, that should have been enough to keep Vera from saying anything about a blush she might have seen on Devyn's face for a moment. "Pfft, I think about it almost all the time. It's not bad. It's okay to look and think, touching is when it’s a problem." Devyn said as she nodded her head.

She felt it was perfectly fine to enjoy the view of someone and have dirty thoughts about them, so long as you didn't say or do them, then it was fine. Devyn was happy that getting outfits picked out was quick and painless as it was. She didn't want to end up spending hours trying to find that right dress or outfit to wear. At least she was going dressed and going at all, that was what she felt was the important things about it all. Not like she was going to impress anyone, she was going for Vera. She remained where she was as she waited for an answer, looking closely as the other girl explained that she did enjoy it, but felt like she had a higher calling; so to speak.

Dev half understood what Vera was getting at, but she didn't get the whole not doing something that you were passionate about. The confusion shown on her face as she looked at the ground to think about it for a moment. The mentioning of Vera's dad did remind Devyn about that, and also made sense. It was the same as to why Devyn wanted to be in the military like her father, but that was back when he was alive. "No...not really." Devyn admitted as she moved to go sit back down on her bed. She didn't have anything that she was aiming for or felt driven to do for a long time. She had always lived for others; it was the only thing she felt her life was worth living for. "I just want to make sure those that are important to me are happy." Devyn added after a moment, giving Vera a small smile.

[Vera M. Solway]

She heard Devyn and was tempted to play off of her comment but Vera found herself grinning instead as she bit against her bottom lip. The feeling was mutual but she was sure Devyn already knew that. If last year's prom wasn't more than enough of an example.

Vera shifted in her stance, as if she was trying to get a better look at Devyn. Was she blushing? She was so blushing! She grinned, chuckling as she shook her head. "My dreams aren't ones you'd want to be in. Trust me." Still, Vera couldn't get over that Devyn was in fact blushing and was trying to hide it. It was cute. "Yeah, it's not bad... Unless you're some kind of telepath or empath. Then I'm pretty sure touching isn't the only option." She chuckled "Be lucky you're neither."

While Vera had enough talents and loves to pick from, she just didn't believe in going with just any passion. If you were going to do something out of a group of things that you loved, at least let it be the one you could see yourself doing for the rest of your life. The fashion world just didn't seem like a place she'd be happy in.

"C'mon, really? Not even one?" She found that pretty hard to believe. Either Devyn was completely bullshitting just so she didn't have to say anything, or she really didn't have a true passion for something that she felt close to. She walked towards the bed, "Other than making your loved ones happy, you don't have any other passions? I find that really hard to believe."

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn honestly was not sure if the feelings were mutual, at least she didn't know how Vera actually felt about her other than friends who teased and maybe fooled around a little. What had happened on prom was something that gave a hint to something more, but they that whole fall out happened. Then Devyn recalled that Vera had been really trying to have something with Ri, so she just assumed that they were on the whole Best Friends status. She of course was happy with that, at the end of the day if she had one close friend she was happy.

Vera was that person for her; the girl had her back and had a way of making her feel a little bit better, even back when Vera avoided her for a little bit. Vera didn't say anything about the blushing, so Devyn assumed that the other girl had not noticed it. Good. "I do, if it means it will keep the nightmares away and you sleep well." Devyn said, being dead serious. She even looked at Vera in a serious tone. The joke may have been in a teasing way, but she meant it in the sense that she wanted Vera to be able to sleep and not deal with the things that haunted her when she was supposed to be resting.

That was why Devyn always offered Vera a place in her bed to help keep the bad dreams away and make sure her friend could get some sleep on the few hours that she was actually not busy. Devyn thought about what it would be like to be a telepath or an empath. She knew she didn't want to be an empath, she had a hard enough time with her own emotions. As for being able to move things with her mind, that could be kind of cool. "Hmm...would I have to worry about accidentally touching someone's butt with my mind?" Devyn asked, half kidding and half serious. Devyn did feel slightly bad that she really didn't have an answer to give Vera when it came to a passion.

"Years ago when my dad was alive, I wanted to be in the military like him. To be just like him but, when he died I lost all of that." Devyn admitted. She thought about it, going silent as she really tried to think of something she had passion for. She liked music, sex, making her loved ones happy, and keeping them safe. That was all, all that she could think of. "I don't think...I've always lived for others. Make them happy; get them to accept themselves, and their passions. I uh, don't think I have ever lived for myself. Things tend to go bad when I try." Devyn admitted as she chuckled a little, the chuckle being more out of pain, but forcing the happiness to the surface to keep a light joking mood.

[Vera M. Solway]

Devyn had always made it verbal about how much she wanted to make sure she slept safe and sound and Vera appreciated it, she really did. It was just too much of a hassle to make Devyn share a bed with her every night. Who knew how many times she was woken out of her sleep from endless nightmares in a week. Even with as much control as she had with her powers, she just didn't want to take the chance of accidentally hurting Devyn in case it ever was out of control. Either way it showed how much Devyn cared and that was more than enough.

"If you were a telekinetic, maybe but I think we have to go through worst things than worrying about if we accidentally touch someone's butt." She laughed. It was rare for it to happen against Vera's control, and she mostly did it because she could and it never failed. Vera glanced down at her hands as Devyn spoke, listening as she could somewhat understand where Devyn was coming from. She wasn't sure of her relationship with her father but after her parents passed away, Vera never really did feel worthy enough of following in either of their footsteps. It took her older brother to help her get back on track with her connection to them.

"You can't always live your life for other people, Dev." Her face softened as she heard the last bit. She made her way to Devyn, facing her, only to straddle her lap as she focused in on Devyn's eyes. "Maybe you just need to keep trying." She smiled, "Or maybe you just need the right person to help show you that you can..."

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn really did care about her friend, all of her friends really. If there was anything that she could do to help them out, make them happy, and just to feel safe; then she would do it. She knew she was pretty good at helping someone sleep for the most part, allowing the nightmares to stay away from their minds. She knew it was not actually in her power to do so, but it was more of a mental thing. It was because she told people she could do it and if they trusted her enough, then they would feel safe both mentally and physically. That would help keep the nightmares away at least that was what tended to work.

Dev honestly didn't care and was never worried that Vera might accidentally hurt her with the exploding aspect of her power. Devyn was prepared and accepted whatever pain would come from helping out those she cared about. That should have been obvious to pretty much everyone that just knew her name by now. "Worse? Wow, happy that only have to worry about mauling someone to death." Devyn said, but winced slightly. Perhaps that was too far of a joke. After all, Vera did have to worry about blowing people up and Devyn had to worry about well killing them in ways an animal could.

It was hard to say which was worse, but Devyn didn't want to get into that. She didn't even want to get into the conversation they were having now. Her green eyes were already looking down at the ground as Vera pointed out that she could not live her life for other people. Devyn knew that, she just didn't know what else to live for. She was about to say as much, only to stop when Vera was moving closer, straddling her, and making her look at her. Devyn could not help but to bite her own bottom lip as she could feel her face feeling a little warm again.

What was Vera planning? She needed to keep trying? Or perhaps find the right person that could show her that she could? Devyn had tried them both, especially when it came to her last ex but that had not worked out. Devyn could already feel fear rising up in her, but she shoved it down with a hard swallow, trying to think of how to make a joke out of the situation. It was her default safety mechanism. "With how you are sitting on me and those words, you saying you’re that person? Such a smooth talker, Vera. Better be careful before I make a move on you." Devyn warned as she smirked. She was trying to be good after all, but Vera was basically begging her to be bad at this rate.
