well this is different

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

"You make yourself sound awful," said Zoe. she was tempted to stick her tongue out again, but something told her that doing so probably wouldn't be the best thing right now. "And you're not that bad. You are aggressive though,' said Zoe, she tilted her head to look up at Devyn, smiling, "sexually aggressive too," she added. Then, being Zoe, she flushed deeply and again rekindled her interest in the photo album. She did like that Devyn was probably more "handsome" than beautiful; not that Zoe didn't see beauty in pretty girls; she just hadn't found them quite as attractive. As for the badness... Zoe didn't see that in Devyn, or maybe she saw what Devyn could be if she would just allow herself to grow a little.

She wanted to protest or point out that she was, in fact, the only one of them who was currently eighteen and therefore more qualified to look at the pictures, or possibly to point out that she'd already seen Devyn naked... if from behind. However, Zoe had obviously just used up her meager store of courage flirting with her girlfriend a few moments ago, so she couldn't manage more than some more flushing and a little noise of protest. That protest died in Zoe's throat as she saw something truly sexy:

Devyn. Shirtless and in what appeared to be male undergarments.

Zoe stared, her lips parting for a moment. Devyn's words jarred her though, and she blinked. "The background's too harsh for that," she said, pointing, "it doesn't work right. You probably should've been against a darker background instead of the gray... maybe black?" she tilted her head, her artistic eye now taking over for her... lustier one. "I could certainly take a better picture. You look angry instead of sensual and appealing," Zoe nodded then snuggled back down. "I can definitely take a better one." And there was a hint of "I want to" but Zoe didn't say it. instead she looked, hemming for a bit.

"Would you want one? Of me? Like that," she pointed, flushing, "though, um, I'd probably want something more... feminine," she felt like her ears were going to burst in flames. She turned to cover her face and sort of snuggle down. "Forget it; I don't think I could," she sort of wanted to, but just thinking about it was pretty much mortifying her...

[Devyn Solway]

"I am Zoe. You should be careful with thinking too much of me in a good light." Devyn said in a serious tone, because in no way was she kidding. Devyn knew she did bad things, things she should not have been doing at her age. She was nice to most people but when she was mean, well let’s just say she was very mean and it was best to not be on her enemy list. People at this school lucked out so far as to not really see that side of her, but there had been a few people to piss her off enough and Devyn broke more than just relationship. She didn't want Zoe to put her up on some kind of pedestal or even think that Devyn was all that good. She was dark like her shadows when she wanted to be, she just had done a pretty good job at staying mellow and not worried about anything Devyn. It was best that way, less dangerous, but she still had that other side to her. The side that the shadow beast ruled over, and when it was in control she really was all the things she said she was. Devyn smiled a little however at Zoe saying that she was aggressive and sexually aggressive, all very true.

"Do you like both those things about me Zoe? My aggression and my sexual aggression?" Devyn asked in certain, growling low in Zoe's ear as she asked the question. Zoe was flushing however, like Devyn had expected. Zoe had her hot moment, but then she would revert back to shy innocent Zoe, which was also very cute and sometimes sexy. Devyn had expected Zoe to say something about being older than her or being able to handle it since she did have her hands wonder over Devyn's body that time in the laundry room. Zoe didn't say anything however, just flushed some more and made a small little towel. Zoe was like a squeak toy in a way and Devyn did like to nom on Zoe's neck. Except Zoe did not squeak when Devyn bit her, which was fine because she could still tell that Zoe really enjoyed it and at the end of it all, that was all that mattered. Zoe liked it, Devyn wanted to do it, and Zoe allowed her to do it. They were making progress in their relationship, but Devyn knew that was sort of a lie. Zoe was making progress; Devyn was still her same old self, if anything she was just doing a better job at holding herself back when she was getting all the signals to go.

Zoe seemed to be staring, which was good and had Devyn smirking for a moment, until Zoe broke out of her trance like state and then began to answer Devyn's question. Devyn's eyes looked back to the photo and she listened to Zoe's words and even if she didn't really have an artistic eye or anything, she figured she could have understood. The grey was a bit dull. "I was angry. It was cold in there. Who take an underwear photo in the winter?" Devyn asked, explaining why she looked angry in the photo, since she really was. She could handle the cold, but when you were in just a pair of underwear, and an already cold room, it did not help with the whole handling the cold sort of thing. Devyn raised an eyebrow at Zoe saying she could take a better photo. Now Devyn was smirking, shifting so she could try and sneak in a light kiss to the side of Zoe's neck, light and quick if Zoe didn't move away. "Could you now? Guess I'm going to have to see you prove it then." Devyn said now as a form of a challenge and dare to her girlfriend, not really planning on doing it tonight unless Zoe really wanted to, but it was now in the cards. Devyn wanted to see if Zoe would be able to even handle taking a photo of Devyn basically wearing nothing.

Devyn could not help but to blink a few times at the question that Zoe asked her that caught her completely off guard. Again, Zoe was surprising Devyn and just popping up out of nowhere being brave here and there and saying and or asking things that Devyn never really thought Zoe would ask of her. Devyn opened her mouth to say something but Zoe turned fully red and soon was moving so she could hide. Quickly saying that she didn't think she could do it. "It's fine Zoe. I would not expect for you to be up for doing such a thing. Knowing that I could be all alone looking at such a photo and all. Never knowing what I could be doing while looking at such a photo." Devyn said with a smirk, unable to stop herself from teasing at this, even if she reached out to rub Zoe's back. "I'll give you one of me however, if you like." Devyn offered since she didn't mind giving such a photo to Zoe. Not worried that Zoe was going to send it to all her friends or post it up anywhere.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Zoe would always think of Devyn in a good light; that was just how she worked. Zoe thought the best of everyone... except herself. That only increased further for people she cared about, and, seeing as she outright loved Devyn, that wasn't likely to decrease any. Zoe would probably overlook Devyn murdering someone at this point. Strange how that always worked.

There was a lot about Devyn to like and love, and Devyn did hit on more. More that just caused Zoe to flush and sort of sink a little deeper, glad that there was the photography to distract her. Devyn was quick to point out the issues with the shot, most of which Zoe had already half guessed: It was cold, Devyn had been irritated; Zoe wouldn't have been surprised to hear that he'd gotten fresh with Devyn (or that she'd gotten fresh with him, as this was Devyn). Those sort of things could often translate onto the film, especially when someone with an amateur eye was behind the camera. Devyn's jumping on Zoe's offer made her blush, of course, but it didn't dissuade Zoe's nerve in this case. She'd done artistic nudes before, and she was likely to do them again.

Strange that such stuff seemed to catch Devyn off guard. Zoe glanced up at her girlfriend, peeking out from her hidden position, her curiosity outweighing her embarrassment at least for the moment. Wouldn't make her, then a description of what was possible, a description that made Zoe flush. "That was the point," she said, the words barely audible. She took a shaking breath, again reminded that she couldn't, at least not yet. Maybe later, like, after they'd made proper love to each other the first time, if that ever happened. Zoe liked to think it would but... but she just wasn't sure they could, or that Devyn would be emotionally available.

"I'll definitely want one of you," she said, talking a little louder, "but I want to take it," she turned and looked up at Devyn, giving her big eyes. It was almost like a little girl asking to go to the park or something, except there wasn't much childish about Zoe's voice. "I want you to be sexy for me," she said, managing to hold her strength and her position, keeping her eyes locked on Devyn. It took effort, but Zoe knew she needed to work on making this work, and that meant meeting Devyn halfway. Plus... she liked teasing Devyn, liked having enough strength and courage to at least manage those few words, if nothing else.

[Devyn Solway]

Zoe kept sinking more into Devyn; flushing, hiding, and being very Zoe like that it just made Devyn smile. "If you sink down into deeper into me, you are going to end up merging with me." Devyn teased, but would not let Zoe try to move away or anything so tightened the arms that was around Zoe a little more. Keeping her girlfriend close to her and really didn't want her to go anywhere. It was starting to feel a little odd to Devyn that she wanted to be around Zoe a lot more and have her girlfriend as close as possible. She just assumed it was something along the lines of the lust she had for Zoe and having Zoe's body close to her satisfied it a little...or made it worse. Either way, Devyn was not going to dwell on such thoughts and focused purely on messing with Zoe and getting her girlfriend to blush and see just how far Zoe would go to hide. She might as well just lifted up Devyn's shirt and hid under there, or moved away to hide under the sheets.

Devyn was caught off guard because she did not know that kind of photos Zoe took, picturing them to be just of people doing everyday thing, a lot of landscape photos, and possibly cute animals. Yeah, Zoe would take innocent and cute photos, Devyn could not picture her girlfriend doing nude shots or anything like that. Yet Devyn still offered Zoe the chance to take a photo of her and even sort of requested a photo, in jest. Zoe was glancing up however at Devyn's words of what possible things she could do with such a photo. Zoe being bold and revealing that was the point behind it all which had Devyn smirking deviously. "You are just as naughty as I am huh?" Devyn asked in a teasing manner, but also was kind of being serious. More so serious in that fact that she was catching on that Zoe was not all that innocent, or at least she didn't think innocent all the time. She knew the dirty jokes and hints Devyn would say and Zoe would make her own in return.

"Sexy for you huh? So I have to be sexy, let you take the photo, and let you keep it." Devyn said giving a small nod, agreeing to it all. It would be interesting having Zoe tell her just how 'less dressed' Zoe would want her, how Zoe would want her to pose, and really just the whole experience of her girlfriend being in charge of a photo-shoot. Devyn would comply however, even if she was not one for taking orders, she could manage since Zoe had asked in such a way. With big eyes that reminded Devyn of a child, but with a tone that was very firm and was telling Devyn exactly what she wanted. "You are really getting good at being my girlfriend Zoe." Devyn said leaning in to give Zoe a quick kiss, and then moving to close the photo album and attempting to shove it away. "However, since I'm going to allow you to have a photo of me and I don't get one, then I want you to tell me about one dream you have had about me. Fair trade in my eyes." Devyn said with a devious grin, going to move both her arms around Zoe mid sections of her body and nuzzle into Zoe's shoulder. ...why am I feeling really cuddly?

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Zoe ignored Devyn's tease for what she thought it was: a tease. Part of her did wonder if there were people that could "merge" with someone else. Probably, and that ability sounded even worse than Zoe's own, which she hadn't thought was really possible. Perhaps that was how she should think of it: someone out there had it worse than she did.

They clearly didn't have it worse than she did in the girlfriend department, or, well, Zoe was good in that. Make of that transition what you will; Zoe was just blushing and doing a little squirming. she wasn't quite sinking in, mostly because while Devyn might have been teasing, her description of the circumstances remained fairly accurate. If Zoe had squirmed down any further she'd practically be burrowing into her girlfriend, which she wagered neither of them would enjoy all that much.

"It's not like I take pictures of nearly nude people that often,' she protested, blushing deeper. She actually saw Devyn's nod too, though she looked away for a moment while she managed her weak protest. Devyn's compliment made Zoe flush again, though that was nearly like painting red atop of red by this point. Zoe got a quick kiss for her bravery, and she again marveled at how wonderful Devyn tasted, not that she'd be telling her girlfriend that anytime soon. Her stores of bravery had to build back up again before she could manage something that bold. Devyn set conditions, and for a moment, Zoe wanted to protest. Her mouth opened and started moving, until she realized that Devyn hadn't specified a sexy dream with her. Oh, Devyn had certainly implied it, but she hadn't said as much, which left Zoe with a loophole.

"Fine then," she said, shifting into Devyn. She smiled and looked up at her girlfriend again, her head practically pushed against Devyn's stomach by this point. "I once dreamed that I was on a beach. The waters lapped gently against the shore, and it must've been warm, because I was in a breezy sundress that didn't cover me as much as I have to be now," she held up her arm, staring at the pajama sleeve that covered most of it, before lowering it back down, "and I was drawing a picture.." she paused, smiling up at Devyn, practically prodding her girlfriend to, well, prod back.

[Devyn Solway]

Her new nickname should be Red, Blushy…or Blush-e, like her name. Or Squirming. Nah, that’s not really all that attractive. What blushes and squirms a lot? Zoe. Devyn was off in her own thoughts for a moment with Zoe doing some more blushing and moving around on Devyn. She was trying to think of a new nickname for her girlfriend besides Cutie, but she could not really think of one. Zoe was Zoe that was pretty much all there was to it. Still, she had to change it up a little, cutie was too general and she used it for everyone she was flirting with that was female and did not have a nickname from her. So Zoe needed some name special to her. Zoe took photos and she was good at poetry, Devyn was going to think something along the lines of that. Maybe I should call her Photo Finish. Devyn thought with a small inner chuckle because of the My Little Pony reference, having liked the show a little, or at least the merchandise for Vinyl scratch and Rainbow Dash.

“Hmm…I don’t know. You could be doing like a full nude photo album in secrete and you want to feature me in it.” Devyn teased, not really thinking Zoe would do such a thing, but she was sure her girlfriend could pull it off and make money off of it. Devyn would not mind if Zoe was taking photos of naked woman, but naked men was a no. Still Devyn was pretty sure Zoe was for the girl team or maybe Bi like Devyn was. She just knew that she could not really just ask Zoe yet, it was clear that her girlfriend was still trying to figure it all out. Devyn did want Zoe to tell her a sexy dream and she figure Zoe would have gave in, but it became clear that Zoe was using a loop hole in Devyn’s words. Zoe made herself comfortable with her head pressed close against Devyn’s stomach, good thing she ate or else Zoe would be able to hear her stomach growl. She didn’t really think her stomach was comfortable with the whole having abs things, but Zoe looked comfy enough.

Zoe was really, really pretty. Like so cute and beautiful with how she was looking up at Devyn with that smile on her face. There was just so much attraction for Zoe and it’s seemed to be getting worse, or increasing depending on how you looked at it. Devyn just knew that she was feeling weird and was not sure how she felt about it. Zoe went on to start talking about her dream, looking up at Devyn and leaving an opening. Oh, Devyn was pretty sure she knew what Zoe was getting at. Didn’t mean she was going to be good. “See I think I’m supposed to ask, drawing a picture of what? I’m going to guess however that it was of me. Titanic style. No, better yet, I was in nothing and coming out of the water towards you? I’m close right?” Devyn asked with a smirk starting to appear more on her face as she was taking it all how she wanted to.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

The mere thought of a full nude album was enough to render Zoe speechless and about as red as a human being could get. She certainly couldn't produce any more words to that effect. That, however, was fairly standard Zoe behavior and reaction. No, much worse was the fact that Zoe immediately figured that she could, in fact, manage something like that. Which made her immediately think of a photo series showing various nude mutants doing their powers and such. That would be a great seller, and she was fairly confident that she could at least manage taking pictures of people. Maybe she could put up an ad. She made a note to ask Devyn about it at some point, see what her girlfriend thought.

Later though, because she had her story of a dream to tell first. She giggled as Devyn guessed, shaking her head. She was, however, momentarily tempted to ask what Titanic style was, though she suspected it meant nude. Instead, Zoe answered: "Nope! It was of the ocean, only it was at sunset. Just as I was finishing it up though, I heard a noise, and I turned, and there you were," she looked up at Devyn and smiled. "You were riding a horse though, and dressed as a prince. Well, mostly. You had a frilly white shirt on, sort of like a pirate, except it was mostly open to show quite a bit of your chest. But you certainly had princely pants on, and your horse was this beautiful white stallion. She rode right up to me, reaching down for me.

"And I took your hand, and you pulled me up onto the horse," said Zoe, nodding. "Then we rode off into the sunset," she said gesturing toward the right direction. She cuddled down into Devyn, smiling coyly up at her girlfriend. "I do think you stopped to kiss me though, so there's that."

[Devyn Solway]

No words were leaving Zoe's mouth for a moment and Devyn was pretty sure that every part of Zoe's skin that she could see was red. Zoe had to be thinking about the full nude album now. Devyn too had to admit she was thinking about it, her mind inserting images of common model she knew that would appear in those types of albums. She would have to think of other people to insert in there however, since this would only be a real thing. A thing that Zoe could do by taking photos...of students possibly. Would Zoe take photos of herself, when she was all alone and make Devyn her own special version. There was a slightly tingly feeling that traveled through Devyn's body at just the thought of it. She had to look down and check to make sure her and Zoe were not touching skin to skin to actually make sure that was a reaction from her own body and not just because of Zoe's powers. I'm acting way too weird tonight. Devyn thought to herself as she took a deep breath.

"Okay, so no draw me. Make a note to dream about that or make it a reality." Devyn said with a smirk and then focused on the story Zoe was telling her. Finding it way too cute how Zoe would pause every so often to look up at her. How she described how Devyn showed up on a white horse and was very much a prince. This at least painted a mental image of what Zoe had to have liked. Zoe was clearly the romance type and her dreams were revealing that. Devyn however was not that type, but she was curious as to what would happen if she pulled some romantic stunt on Zoe. Do I even have that in me? Devyn asked herself because she seriously felt ridiculous when she tried to be actually romantic or to really do anything outside of just flirting and letting things go from there. Still Devyn could try, Zoe tried for her, and it was only fair in a way when she thought about it. Still Devyn more so saw herself rolling up on a motorcycle in all black, gesturing for Zoe to get out, hardcore kiss her, and then drive off into the moonlight.

"You are such a romantic Zoe." Devyn said moving so she could move to give Zoe a kiss, one that she made sure to linger a little longer until her lips went numb. She wanted to kiss Zoe again and again. Just move on top of her girlfriend and kiss her senseless, but she could not do that. She should not do that, which was why she made sure to sit up fully before taking a deep breath. "We should get under the covers and lay down for the night." Devyn suggested as she messed with her still a little but damp hair, still wanting to get a cut, but she deal with a trim, again for Zoe's desires. If she could at least do the other things then maybe she could do the big things. Devyn went still then for a moment. Did I just...I'm tired. Devyn thought giving her head a shake and then proceed to rub her eyes. Yeah, she had to be feeling weird because she was full, had a warm shower, and now has her soft girlfriend cuddling up to her.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Of course Zoe was a romantic; you'd think that Devyn of all people would've realized as much by now. She leaned up to kiss Devyn, enjoying it, even deepening it a little herself. She teased at Devyn's teeth with her tongue for a bit, though she wanted to be careful not to touch anything that she could actually numb. Even with the care though, it was altogether likely that Deyvn's gums would feel a little tingly afterward. They parted, and Zoe smiled at her girlfriend, obviously pleased. Part of her wished she could draw Devyn back down and kiss her till Zoe collapsed, but both knew that couldn't happen... at least not yet.

Zoe nodded at Devyn's suggestion, moving to wiggle under the covers next to Devyn. her arms went about Devyn, and it was quite clear that she fully intended to entwine their bodies together. She saw Devyn mussing her hair. Zoe giggled and moved her own hand up to run her fingers through it. "If you want to cut it, you can. You'd just better come out looking as handsome as you did going in," offered Zoe, obviously wanting to meet Devyn halfway. True, she found the long hair, especially on Devyn, more attractive. As far as Zoe was concerned, all princes should have long hair, and she certainly saw Devyn as a prince. Perhaps not one out of a fairy tale, not those stiff, horrible ones that you saw in old movies, but more the roguish kind that appeared in more modern renditions of royalty.

Zoe shifted again, curling up and around Devyn, drawing close against her girlfriend, practically burying her face into her. She purposefully shifted, speaking into Devyn's side, wanting the words to be smothered and unintelligible: "I love you, Devyn," would echo into Devyn's side while Zoe shifted and settled down to sleep.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn felt the tongue enter her mouth, but not far at all, just teasing her teeth, like the very cruel tease that Zoe was. That’s just evil. Devyn thought immediately at feeling her gums starting to go tingly. Zoe had been careful, but it did not mean that it had been all that easy for Devyn. She had to stop herself from just forcing her tongue into Zoe's mouth and making her pay for teasing her like that. Yet Devyn would end up with the short stick there, and knew that it was good that both she and Zoe managed to actually pull back from one another and not go anything future. Ideally it would have been better for them to not touch at all, then Devyn would not have to worry about feeling teased, and if she was not feeling teased then she would have no need to worry about wanting to get more out of Zoe. Major problem with that was that if they didn't kiss and touch like girlfriends should, then Devyn would feel like they should have been friends, which she was sure Zoe was fully aware of.

As soon as Zoe moved enough, Devyn proceed to get under the sheets and shift a little until she was comfortable and immediately had Zoe's arms going around her. Zoe was probably going to tangle their bodies within one another, which was fine by Devyn since it meant that Zoe was going to have to put a little more effort when it came to moving away from Devyn. Not that Devyn even thought for a moment that Zoe would want to move away from her. If anything Zoe was clearly trying to be as close to Devyn as she could that she could basically hear and feel Zoe's heart beat and breathing without effort on her part. This was the first time Zoe was sleeping in Devyn's room and in Devyn's room and Zoe had seem basically at home already. "It's fine. I'll just get a trim and I'll make sure I always look handsome, unless I just woke up. All bets are off then." Devyn said figuring this could be an area where she could let Zoe have her way. She was not going to let it get any longer than this that was for sure. No way could she be one of those girls with really long hair, it was just not her.

Zoe moved a little, curling, and getting as close as she could with Devyn; who was still pretty much convinced that if there was a way for to bodies to merge, Zoe was going to be the one to discover it. Might as well be sleeping naked. Devyn thought to herself as if making a self-tease, kidding since she could not feel everything to the finest deal but she could still feel a lot with how close Zoe was. Mumbled words spoken into Devyn's body, unable to hear what was actually said, but assuming it was something along the lines of good night. "Good night to you too Zoe. See you when I wake up." Devyn responded and moves her arms around Zoe, letting then bodies get all entwined like Zoe like. Letting out a yawn for a moment as her mind wondered, still having an issue with sleeping but she did eventually doze off after an hour or so.
