Prom: it felt nice to dress up

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Alright, yes, yes it was. Nobody was dying, nobody even seemed to be hurt or what have you. Zoe kept feeling like she was drifting on a cloud or waltzing through a dream or something like that. Even with her little statement and Devyn acting like it didn't matter. Zoe considered hitting Devyn again for that; of course it mattered. It mattered to both of them and they shouldn't pretend it didn't. Instead though, she giggled, finding the whole thing more than a little funny right now.

"Well, we'll just have to do other special things," she replied, running her hands along Devyn. Then let out a little "oops" before giggling and withdrawing her hands. "Sorry, I just get so excited thinking about you. You look so handsome tonight, and it's got me feeling all tingly inside," she moved to lightly kiss Devyn again, smiling up at her girlfriend as she finished. Zoe was tempted to say something else, but she found her head spinning. She seemed to nearly trip on something and had to adjust, giggling as she shifted her feet, not wanting to step on Devyn with her heels.

"Maybe I do need help not falling down," she suggested, giggling yet again.

[Devyn Solway]

Making it seem like it did not matter was the best strategy Devyn had when it came to many things that she didn't want to think about or deal with. If she kept thinking it didn't matter then soon she would accept it as so and it really would not matter. Zoe would be fine then without having to worry about Devyn seeming to want it out of Zoe. The desire would just go away at one point or another. She was not sure when that point would be, but she knew it would happen if she kept her mind on the track of it not mattering. Zoe would remain a virgin until she found say a mutant who could cancel out her powers and Zoe could touch and do whatever she wanted with them. She was not going to have any luck with such things with Devyn so Devyn was working on trying to not even think about them. That was proving especially hard on a night like this when she already felt worked up by Zoe's little teases.

"Only if you want to." Devyn said watching Zoe carefully as the hands ran along her. Devyn almost ready to let out a warning growl for Zoe to stop teasing her again but Zoe caught herself and was soon giggling over the matter. Devyn remained silent as Zoe confessed how she was getting excited thinking about Devyn, how she looked handsome tonight, and that she was feeling tingly inside. "That’s called lust Zoe." Devyn said as a sly smirk appeared on her face, amused that Zoe was feeling such a way. She knew Zoe had it in her of course, but Zoe was basically admitting it with words. Sure Zoe had told Devyn before that she wanted Devyn to be her first, but other than those things that Devyn had made sure to keep out of her thoughts, she didn't actually see a way of that being possible. With some toys and certain outfits maybe, but then to Devyn it just would not be the same...not real. Or something... Devyn thought to herself, not even sure at the moment.

Another light kiss that Devyn returned and was moving again to keep Zoe close to her so she would not end up falling. Then the admittance of how she might need help to keep herself from falling down. "Told you so. Ready to give in and call it a night or you want to stumble around some more and have me on my toes making sure you don't fall?" Devyn asked that sly smirk still on her face. Feeling like she had won something in a way, just for the fact that Zoe had admitted that she did in fact need some help.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Of course Zoe wanted to. Hadn't she made that abundantly clear throughout the night? She was tempted to repeat as much, but Devyn was already pointing out that Zoe felt lust. The word had Zoe giggling again, like she was a kindergartner who'd just hurt it for the first time. She brought a hand up to her mouth for a bit there, mostly because she felt like she'd done enough giggling there. Didn't stop her from going in for the kiss and it certainly didn't help with the whole stumbling thing, both of which Zoe handled with, well, more giggling, for the most part.

"Nooo," she nearly whined, tapping against Devyn's chest again, beating just hard enough to be felt this time. "We have to dance, remember? No ruining this night," she reached up to tap Devyn's nose. "Or I'll have to punish you," though Zoe didn't have the faintest idea how she'd go about doing that. It seemed that pretty well anything that would punish Devyn would get in the way of what Zoe wanted. "I'll... take away your awful albums," she suggested, wrinkling her nose, "or force you to wear girly clothing..." which had Zoe drifting away for a bit, wondering what Devyn would look like if she actually dressed more to her gender. Then again, Zoe never wore pants, so perhaps she shouldn't push the issue...

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn was just wanting to be sure and even still had her doubt about how just much Zoe would want it. She played it even more careful then she normal did with this sort of thing when the other person had been drinking. If they both had been drinking well all bets were off. With Devyn being sober and Zoe not, it would seem almost as if she was taking advantage of Zoe's behavior and she did not want that. If Zoe really wanted it she was going to have to make the moves tonight, which she pretty much had been doing all night so there was not issue there. Devyn also remembered that even before Zoe had some of the punch that she had hinted to Devyn not having to be good the whole night and that she did want Devyn to hold her in her arms. Zoe must have been addicted to Devyn holding her.

Devyn had always noted how peaceful Zoe would look sleeping in her arms, like an innocent being that didn't have any fear in the world that nothing would hurt her. This was vastly true because there would be no way that Devyn would allow harm to come to Zoe while Zoe was in her arms. She also noted how Zoe would snuggle so close that there would not even be room for air to be between their bodies. It was always a warm sleep for when Devyn could sleep and most of the time she would be able to drift off. There was whining and then that hard tapping against that had Devyn letting out a growl as Zoe put up a protest of how they had to dance some more. Did she want to dance until they could not even manage to walk back home? Devyn was about to roll her eyes when Zoe made the threat that she was going to have to punish Devyn, this had Devyn scoffing of course. "Punish me Zoe? How do you plan on doing that?" Devyn asked because right now she felt like she was being threatened by a bunny, a very soft and cute bunny.

Zoe was giving examples, saying she was going to take away her awful albums that did have Devyn rolling her eyes. "You just don’t feel the pulse of the beat in the music flowing through you is all." Devyn retorted and would not allow Zoe to even get her hands on any of her music. Devyn could not help but to laugh at the whole 'force to wear girly clothing. "You, force me? Someone who is taller and stronger then you? Do share how you plan to do all of these punishments to be Zoe. It would be riveting to hear. That’s a British word right?" Devyn asked specifically about riveting because she was pretty sure she heard it in a movie with British actors, but she was not really sure.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Feel the pulse of the music? There was actually music in those tunes? Zoe was tempted to ask that, but she felt she was already teasing Devyn enough. Best to keep that little comment to herself. Besides, Devyn was already teasing her about the second part, which just had Zoe narrowing her eyes at her girlfriend. She stuck her tongue out again, before an idea bubbled forth in her hazy mind. Zoe giggled, then leaned up to talk into Devyn's ear: not quite a whisper, as the ambient music wouldn't allow for that to be heard, even with the proximity and all.

"Well, I suppose I'd have to get your nude, which I don't think would be that difficult. Then I'd have to kiss and nibble you all over until you were quite numb. Then, right when you were that perfect mix of numb and excited, I'd slip the girly things right on you," she said. Then, feeling cheeky, she gave Devyn a quick peck on the cheek. She pulled back a little, and likely would've opted to take a step back as well, had she not lost her balance just a little there. Which led to more giggling again, before she moved her arms back around Devyn to steady, putting a slightly teasing grin on her face to finish.

[Devyn Solway]

Yes there was a pulse, the beat, and when it was loud enough you could feel the music playing through your body. Kind of like being at a concert and you could feel the drums beating within side your body. There was just something about the kind of music that Devyn liked that made her want to move to the beat of it even if she was sitting around. There was also a bit there that had to deal with frequencies, finding certain levels of how the automated singers sounded that just pleased her ears. Devyn was actually starting to have a craving for her kind of music but could not recall if she had brought her iPod with her or not. There was eye narrowing from Zoe and sticking out her tongue that did bring Devyn back from her thoughts on music and had her chuckling at how Zoe appeared to not have liked that Devyn was in a way making fun of Zoe's threats.

Devyn just smirked and looked at Zoe as she spoke of her plan in order to punish Devyn and get her in girly clothing. There was something of a challenge in there, or at least could be turned into one with Zoe saying how it would be easy to get Devyn in the nude. There would be some kissing and nibbling, which did sound wonderful for many reasons. The whole being left in a state of numb and excited didn't sound very fun and nor did the whole getting Devyn into girly clothing. Zoe actually could be the one to get Devyn in a vulnerable state in order to get those stupid girly clothing on her, and that was only because Zoe's power. Devyn could not really win against Zoe's power and would be a paralyzed lump on the floor that Zoe could do with as she pleased. Sure Devyn could slip into her shadow form, but that was a bit risky for it all. It was girly clothing however, and Devyn was half tempted to take such a risk.

"If you put anything girly on me, you will regret it." Devyn warned with a growl, that was a mix of a warning and playful at the same time as he smirk never left her face. There was a quick kiss to her cheek and then Zoe trying to move again, only to end up stumbling, more giggles, and arms going back around Devyn. "You might as well just stop moving all together at this rate. You would fail a sobriety test." Devyn said as she looked into those beautiful brown eyes and just shook her head a little, amused still in a way by just Zoe. At least when she was just messing around with Devyn and Devyn alone.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Zoe giggled at Devyn's warning. "Are you going to punish me too?" she replied, grinning impishly. More giggling and sort of wiggling followed, ending with Zoe more or less in Devyn's arms again. Might as well stop moving: Zoe pouted at those words. Moving was how they'd do all the fun stuff; was Devyn saying she wanted to stop doing anything fun? It certainly sounded like it, and Zoe was tempted to suggest as much. Instead, she wrapped her arms about her girlfriend for the whole steady thing.

"Stop talking and just dance for a bit," she said then, a bit of sober Zoe sneaking through. She took another deep breath, leaning against Devyn again. This felt nice, so, very, very nice. why couldn't they always feel like this? Zoe squeezed Devyn again, taking another deep breath. She wanted to say so much right now, with her fuzzy brain and her loose tongue. Instead she wound up giggling again, giggling at nothing, feeling silly all over again.

But dancing, dancing and giving in to the moment. All quite good, that.

[Devyn Solway]

"I plan on it, but my punishment would actually be a punishment. Something like not giving you any more kisses, letting you sleep in my bed alone while I slept on the floor, or tie your hands behind your back so you are not able to touch me as I tease you." Devyn responded back to Zoe's question about if she was going to punish Zoe. If she was going to use a word like punish, then she was actually going to do something that she felt would be a good punishment for Zoe. It was nothing outright cruel and part of it; the first part was what she was planning on starting to do at some point after this night. She had to stop; she had to dial back on the intimacy level in order for it to possibly not be that big of a deal when Devyn asked to end it or for a break. Devyn honestly just didn't want tears.

Why can't I stop thinking about this sort of thing? Devyn wondered to herself as she let out a sigh, really forcing herself to once again push away the bad thoughts and focus on Zoe. A command that had Devyn letting out another growl as she gave Zoe something like a squeeze, but submitted either way. "Fine." Devyn responded with a deep breath and just closed her eyes and just went silent. Moving to the music and just listening to it and Zoe as they moved together. Part of Devyn enjoying this but then another part getting bored because it was slow dancing, it was not something Devyn was fully used to since again she was a partier and not the 'ballroom type'. Still she didn't say anything and just dealt with it. Feeling Zoe press against her, breathing her in, and then the squeeze. It didn't hurt or anything but it had Devyn opening her eyes to look at Zoe now, who was yet again in another giggle fit.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

That did sound like something at least approaching an actual punishment for Zoe. Well, the last almost sounded kinky, and part of Zoe was tempted to suggest as much. If she weren't so focused on enjoying the whole slow dancing bit, she probably would have. Instead, she opted to keep swaying to the slow music, enjoying the proximity to her girlfriend and the promises ahead. They'd have to go through the crowning and stuff, but that was in the future.

Giggles came and went, as the giggles did. Soon Zoe was cooing, and looking up to Devyn. She moved her arms about Devyn's head again, this time pulling Devyn's head close. Zoe pressed her lips against her girlfriend's again for another sweet kiss. Sweet with a hint of something more, as Zoe moved her lips against Devyn a few times, pressing and releasing, giving Devyn enough time to draw a breath and feel the tingling as feeling restored to her lips before kissing again. It bordered slightly on inappropriate for public, which just added to the rush of it all, as far as Zoe was concerned. She couldn't say for certain if she'd have done it were she not feeling intoxicated by it all, but then again, she didn't find herself caring all that much.

When Zoe parted, she was nearly breathless, flushed, her eyes sparkling again. The song ended, which had of course been Zoe's intent, somehow feeling the end of it coming. She smiled at her girlfriend again, that lusty, loving expression that she had far too often.

[Devyn Solway]

The last was a little bit on the kinky side, but Devyn honestly had not thought of it that way when she said it. She herself had been tied up and had tied up others for fun time but it was not something that she practiced often. Personally she didn't like being tied up because it was taking away an aspect of control from her. Not that it mattered at the moment, since this was a time for dancing and silence as Zoe had asked for and Devyn gave into with a growl. How much longer where they going to be here until the crowning? Devyn personally already felt like they had been here a long time, that or time was moving slow. Sure she liked when time felt like it was going by slow when it was a weekend and when you just wanted to do something fun. This was fun yes, but not like super fun. Other activities were super fun and the thought of food also came to Devyn’s mind that would be a good idea.

She was planning on suggesting possibly making them something to eat when they would go back to Devyn's room but Zoe's hands went around her head and were pulling her down into a kiss. Devyn not fighting it at all and leaned down to kiss Zoe back, figuring it was just going to be another sweet little kiss that Zoe seemed to want to give all night. This however was different. Zoe would kiss again and again, stopping only to allow Devyn's lips to get their feeling back and for her to get in some oxygen. The little breaks helped out a lot and Devyn was actually able to feel each and every kiss that Zoe gave to her and returned it. Having no issue at all just kissing Zoe right in front of others, it was just kissing. Children movies that were rated PG had kissing in them, so this was no big deal.

Devyn took a deep breath in when Zoe did stop the kisses, looking at Devyn with those eyes that just made Devyn feel good and bad all at the same time. Good because she could tell it was honest, that Zoe cared for her deeply, and it felt good to be cared for in such a way. Bad because well this was Devyn who wanted to avoid love because it would just lead to pain sooner or later. There was that wonderful blushing to keep Devyn’s mind focused on the good and that beautiful smile. "..." Devyn’s mouth opened but she quickly caught herself before she let something slip out, quickly changing to say something flirting and teasing. "I'm pretty sure that counts as making out Zoe. Tsk tsk, making out in public." Devyn teased and if Zoe had been sober Devyn was sure that she would have gotten the usual reaction out of Zoe. Zoe however was not sober so Devyn was now expecting a different reaction.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Open mouth, which Zoe only saw as a good sign, a sign that made her smile up at her girlfriend all the wider, even giggle a little. Devyn didn't say anything sweet or overly romantic though, just a tease about making out in public. Zoe lightly tapped Devyn's lips with her finger. "That wasn't romantic at all," she admonished, looking up at her girlfriend. "You should at least have commented on how much better my kissing has improved, or maybe tell me I'm sexy," Zoe pouted for a few moments, before giggling again. she did feel sexy, at least then, at least to Devyn, and that's what she wanted.

Zoe sighed and let go of Devyn, unwinding for a bit. She clearly regretted it almost the moment she did, moving to grab Devyn's hand, her fingers lacing with Devyn's until she remembered the whole touching thing. Zoe sighed then, letting go. "I need to wear gloves next time," she said, pouting yet again. "I want to hold your hand while you escort me from the prom or something," she looked, it did appear that they were going to be announcing people soon. It looked like one of the Bellefontes had taken the stage; Zoe didn't quite know which one. All she knew was that meant they wouldn't have a reason to stay anymore, which suited her just fine.

[Devyn Solway]

Yes, Devyn might have said something romantic or something that Zoe might have loved to hear, but no. She went with the tease and was pleased with herself for not slipping up and saying something that would just make things harder later. There was a light tap to the lips and Zoe's words confirming that Devyn had not said anything romantic. "Seems I need to still work on my romancing skills." Devyn said with a small chuckle, which turned into an outright laugh at Zoe's next words about how she should have said that Zoe was getting better at kissing and that she was sexy. Devyn could say that, but she would have to add more in order for it to be sort of special.

"Well Zoe, your kissing has gotten a lot better that it makes it hard to not deepen this kiss. You are extremely sexy as well as beautiful tonight that I have already undressed you with my eyes several times now. I can’t forget to mention that this lustful side of you is interesting indeed, but making it difficult for me to not take you here on this dance floor." Devyn said, adding a bit too each words that Zoe had requested along with her little added bit. Devyn of course meant it all. There was no point in lying, even more so to Zoe when Devyn knew by now that she pretty much was not going to get the full deal. That and the fact that Zoe was pretty much up for their little 'games' so it didn't make it too bad and it was not like she was saying it to get anything out of Zoe. She just wanted to see that smile, to see those eyes gleaming with affection, and a possible blush or two.

Zoe sighed and released her hold around Devyn, a hand taking hers and lacing their fingers as they normally did when they held hands. Devyn did not mind it and was just going to be sure to let Zoe know to let go when she started to feel it spread but Zoe caught on herself this time. Letting out another sigh as she let go and pouted as she talked about needing to wear gloves so she could hold her hand. "Well, as your prince really I am supposed to just walk you around with my elbow of sorts." Devyn pointed out as she raised her arm in the whole proper escorting a lady around. People were gathering now which caught Devyn's eye and saw that the whole crowning was starting to get underway. "Are you wanting to stick around to see who wins or should we head back now?" Devyn asked, fine with either since she knew she was not going to win and Zoe was still too shy to be up there in how many people knew her so she might not win either.

They would find out who won in the end either way even if they did not stick around because it would be the talk of the school and possibly Dirty Laundry. And maybe that Clean Laundry fellow who killed her chances of winning.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

"Too late now, the moment has passed," insisted Zoe, though she giggled and was already blushing. Sure, she'd practically had to demand that Devyn give her some attention and affection, but the words seemed to have come pretty easily. The lustful side, how difficult it was to contain herself, all bits that felt very much like Devyn, which was enough to get Zoe's attention, especially considering her current mood and mindset. She was still giggly though, her heart all aflutter now. Were she a good deal more sober, there would no doubt be more blushing and demure behavior. Now? Now Devyn should be thankful she didn't get smacked again.

No hand holding, and Devyn heard a sigh. Elbow? Oh, take her arm, Zoe giggled as she threaded her arm through Devyn's pulling tight. "this is actually better anyway," she insisted, nodding and giving Devyn's arm another squeeze. She looked over to where things were being announced, hesitating for a moment. She'd wanted to, or at least, she'd thought she'd wanted to stick around and figure things out. But now it just didn't seem quite as important as getting out of there and enjoying herself. Besides, did winning matter?

"Winning doesn't matter," said Zoe, smiling sappily up at Devyn. "You're my prince anyway," she said, before leaning up for another kiss, "now take me to your bed chambers," she said, giggling again. She felt all tingly and excited about what lay ahead, and she'd practically drag Devyn to get there if that's what it took.

[Devyn Solway]

"Darn. Yup, means I need to practice more." Devyn responded back with a small smile as Zoe said that it was basically too late and that the moment had passed. There was giggling and blushing so Devyn still figured that Zoe had taken what she said to heart and was not just ignoring her because the moment passed. Devyn did realized in a way that she was probably not giving Zoe one hundred percent of her attention and affection, but she never really had for anyone. Well those few times when people wanted a closed and normal relationship with her she did, or tried to. She could be faithful, just not for very long. It had just been a very long time since she was with someone that was meeting all of what she wanted out of a relationship and didn't either end up boring her, getting under her skin, or just being too emotional.

Zoe was more in the emotional and not meeting everything Devyn wanted in a relationship, but that was not Zoe's fault. "You think so? I think hand holding is easier." Devyn pointed out because in this position she and Zoe hand to hold their arms up. Well Zoe could drape her arm on Devyn's but Devyn was always going to have to hold her arm up. It was easier to hold hands because they were just hanging there and just putting to hands together. The fingers doing all the work when their hands would be intertwined with one another. Devyn waited for Zoe's choice, pleased in the one that she made. Winning didn’t matter, unless it was something you wanted to win. Devyn had wanted to win, so winning did matter. It sucked to already just know and have the feeling that you didn't win. She was going to blame that Clean Laundry boy and that one kid with that shady reputation of his. She was just going to avoid those two if she could help it. If not she was likely to start a fight with them, which could be fun but she was supposed to be good.

The kiss broke Devyn’s more so violent thoughts and brought back the more lustful ones as Zoe asked for Devyn to take her back to her bed chambers. That was like past speak for bed room right? "Yes my lady. Shall I carry you there or are you fine with us walking?" Devyn asked as she already started to move with Zoe towards the way they came in. Planning on walking towards her room until Zoe said otherwise. Taking a relaxed paced walk, walking just a little slower sometimes. She was trying to tease Zoe, get her back for working her up. Make Zoe wait. Granted Devyn didn't want to wait so it would not be long that she would tease Zoe.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

"Easier for me," argued Zoe, sticking her tongue out at Devyn again. She gave her girlfriend a little squeeze. After all, all Zoe had to do was thread her arm through the hole created by Devyn's. Certainly nothing overly difficult there. They fit together well, and there wasn't all that worry about Zoe paralyzing Devyn or all that. She looked away for a moment, looking toward the stage, listening to the words that felt far away, talk about who was going to be crowned and everything.

Lustful thoughts, teasing back to the room. "I can walk," Zoe protested, managing a few steps in the right direction. Zoe did seem capable of putting one foot in front of the other. She didn't even veer that far off course, mostly because she had Devyn to align herself and prevent too much wobbling and the like. They moved leisurely, which felt strange to Zoe. On the one hand, it made the whole walking thing actually doable: just put one foot in front of the other and move gradually forward. Easy. On the other hand, it made them go rather slow, and a large part of Zoe just wanted to sprint straight toward the bedroom for the more fun parts that lay ahead.

"It was a good prom," she said instead, looking over at her girlfriend. "Though I think I should probably have less punch next year," she giggled a little at that, but leaned up to give her girlfriend another kiss anyway. that finally caused her to nearly lose her balance, only saved by her hands going around Devyn's neck at just the right moment.
