Prom: it felt nice to dress up

[Devyn Solway]

"Fine, you win." Devyn gave in again with a small chuckle, still amused with how Zoe was behaving. The whole tongue sticking out was normal for Zoe when Zoe liked to tease Devyn. Devyn was going to get her back for all the times she stuck out her tongue. Devyn was going to be the one to lose in the end when she did what she planned on doing, but at least she would have felt satisfied that she got Zoe back. Now was not the time however, she had to wait. Until there was not a lot of space for Zoe to go anywhere and for that tongue to stick out long enough that Devyn could get a nice little chomp on it and teach Zoe why it was bad to stick well pretty much anything out at Devyn. Zoe did have a point however, since it was not hard at all for Zoe to just walk next to her with her arm wrapped around Devyn's. They were still close, Devyn could still smell and feel that Zoe was there, and that she was not going anywhere.

"Alright, but as soon as you fall I'm picking you up." Devyn warned, pretty sure that so long as Zoe didn't put up a fight that she would carry Zoe back to the room as soon as Zoe stumbled. She would have to carry her princess style or wedding style or whatever the style was called. Zoe's dress fit firm to her body so if Devyn gave her a piggyback ride, the dress would likely rip. That would not be a bad thing. Devyn thought to herself as she adjusted her hat on her head with her free hand. Just walking along with Zoe as she didn't say anything. Zoe seemed to be doing fine with the walking even, but they were moving slow. They had even just made it outside and were already a few steps from the gym when Zoe spoke about how it was a good prom and how she was going to have less punch next year. Devyn snickered at that. "Then in that case I'll make sure to get wasted then." Devyn teased as she leaned back over to Zoe to lean into the kiss.

Zoe stumbled then and Devyn’s arms quickly moved to go around Zoe. Zoe managing to catch herself as well by her hands around Devyn's neck. Devyn was silent for a moment, just staring at Zoe. Was it bad that all she wanted to say right now was how bad she just wanted to sleep with Zoe? Yes, it was bad. It was not romantic...was it? Focus. Devyn scolded herself. "Careful Zoe. I'm carrying you now. You lost your walking privileges." Devyn teased with a small smile as she moved to make sure Zoe was standing balanced before she would go to remove the hands from around her neck to give them a quick kiss. Then going to move quickly so Zoe would have less of a chance to put up a fight or try to get away. Planning on picking Zoe up all fancy like and carrying her, planning on walking a lot faster to get back to the dorm if Zoe didn't put up a fuss.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

"I won't fall," insisted Zoe archly, again sounding so very British. She giggled at the thought of Devyn getting wasted, wondering what that must be like. Was Devyn a mean drunk? Part of Zoe thought she probably was: Devyn had all the signs of turning mean with a little alcohol inside her. Zoe was tempted to ask, but there was the whole kissing and then the stumbling and some more giggling, so Zoe was pretty busy getting distracted by all of that.

They stared at one another for a bit, and Zoe felt that warm, tingly feeling again. If only Dr. Campbell had finished that serum already. The whole SPECTRE thing had put a lot of work on his plate though, but still, as Zoe looked at Devyn now, all she could think about was, well, images that made her blush and made heat radiate throughout her body. Devyn teased, as she seemed to so often do whenever things got uncomfortable.

"Ahh," said Zoe, giggling again, "you know you tease me whenever you start feeling, right?" she asked. Her legs were already off the ground, her body nestled quite safely in Devyn's by this point. Zoe's muddled mind painted the picture quite easily: Zoe resting in Devyn's arms, her hands around Devyn's shoulders for support, Devyn holding her quite easily, every inch the prince out of a fairy tale. It made Zoe giggle and then coo with delight. it also made her squirm a little, which probably didn't help with the whole being carried pat of everything.

[Devyn Solway]

"You won't because I won't let you." Devyn pointed out and that had to be true because Zoe would only be able to stumble before Devyn would do everything she could in order to catch Zoe. Plus with how close Zoe was it would be hard for Zoe to fully fall without brining Devyn down with her or again Devyn catching her in time before she would even hit the ground. Plus the fact still stood that if Zoe stumbled again that Devyn was going to pick her up and carry her. Devyn actually liked carrying people, especially those that were shorter than her. It made her feel powerful and gave her even more control. The other person was in her arms, trapped, and would have to put up a good fight to get out of her hold if she didn't want to let them go. Plus she could drop them or toss them in order to hurt or have fun with them, so carrying someone had so much power behind it in Devyn's mind.

Devyn was not a mean drunk, she got too distracted with things to remain angry for too long. Her mind was more so in the gutter or thoughts would lead to the 'gutter' if a word was too close or something that she or someone said could be taken as 'dirty' in some way shape or form. Zoe was then pointing something out to Devyn. The fact that Devyn always made a teasing comment when she started feeling. That was pretty much a fact at this point. Devyn could not outright deny it and was actually just silent now that Zoe had pointed it out. She was not fully aware that she did it other than that she knew she would tease in order to stop herself from saying something or to keep that whole silence and staring at one another away. "I...guess that’s true." Devyn managed words, but they were not really what she wanted to say, but she didn't know what to say.

Just went with holding Zoe close in her arms, feeling her girlfriend’s warmth through her clothing, and taking in Zoe's scent. They were moving a lot faster now, since Devyn was able to carry Zoe and not have to worry about Zoe tripping up and Devyn was getting sort of impatient with being outside now and wanted to get back to the dorms. There was giggling, cooing, and some wiggling that made Devyn tighten her hold on Zoe a little. "Can't move around too much or I might end up dropping you." Devyn pointed out with a smile as she looked down at Zoe, and then focused on walking until they got to the dorm doors. Having to shuffle her hold on Zoe for a moment so she could open them and go inside and start to head for her dorm room. "..." Devyn mouth opened a moment, wanting to ask something. Ask what could she do or say that would be romantic to Zoe so that Zoe would remember this as a great night. She remained silent instead as she walked.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Zoe just giggled as Devyn admitted to the teasing being a fact. It was highly unlikely that Zoe would even remember point that out to Devyn in the morning. Even now, the world had started spinning a little, and Zoe felt all warm and safe and tight, even convinced that she could wiggle and everything would be okay. Devyn shattered that last illusion, which just made Zoe giggle again. Still, she managed to hold still after that, letting Devyn carry her.

"This is nice," said Zoe, moving to run her hands through Devyn's hair, "being carried like this. Next you'll put me in a bed filled with rose petals and tell me I'm the most beautiful girl you've ever seen and the very sight of me fills you with want and desire," Zoe's voice got a little husky toward the end, and she sighed then, closing her eyes. She held her silence for a bit before looking up at Devyn, smiling.

"You don't actually have to do that, you know. You're you, and I love you, not some imaginary version," and no, Zoe didn't realize that she'd said the "L" world. She just let herself sink back in a little, letting out another pleased little coo.

[Devyn Solway]

This was indeed nice, it felt nice, and Devyn was enjoying it even if she was just carrying Zoe around in her arms. She just felt like she could really look after Zoe when Zoe was in her arms. That no one would hurt Zoe, no one would say anything mean to Zoe, and that Zoe would not have any bad dreams. Devyn just cared a lot about Zoe and wanted to protect the girl that she had caused so much pain for in the first place. The hands going through her hair felt nice, it felt similar to the feeling she would get in her other form when someone would pet her fur. She would have closed her eyes to enjoy it, but they were walking. Plus Devyn had to pay attention now that they were inside so she would not end up just passing her own dorm room. Devyn chuckled a little as Zoe mentioned the whole laying Zoe down on a bed with rose petals on it and then tell Zoe that she was beautiful. That Zoe filled Devyn with want and desire.

That all could be done, well not the rose petals tonight since Devyn actually forgot to get Zoe a rose since she was more so focused on the broach that Zoe was still wearing around her wrist. The other stuff could be said however. The first part being mostly true, but could not be said in all honesty because Devyn did meet a lot of woman that she thought were beautiful and men as well. The last part was one hundred percent true and if it was not for Zoe's power Devyn probably would have demanded for it by now or broke up with Zoe in the first month of not getting what she wanted. Devyn was going to say something but Zoe closed her eyes and feel silent, Devyn figuring she was going to fall asleep. Just as Devyn was nearing her door however Zoe looked up at her and smiled. Devyn didn't have to do it. Zoe basically saying that she loved Devyn for the way she was. That part...well Devyn just felt like a bad person but at the same time felt so warm at the words.

"...thanks." Devyn said after taking a deep breath to keep herself from well just letting go of everything that was bothering her there at the moment. Doing her best to shove the thoughts away as she unlocked her bedroom door and manage to get it open. Having to again adjust Zoe a little in her arms in order to get in, close the door, and lock it behind her. "I'll remember the rose petals next time." Devyn said with a small chuckle, trying to think of just that as she moved to her bedroom and opened the door, moving to go lay down on her bed before she would go and try to remove Zoe's shoes.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Yes, being carried felt nice, and Zoe actually had to fight against the urge to sleep that crept up on her. It was a tough fight, but Zoe managed, mostly because she could still feel Devyn against her, more importantly, she could feel Devyn moving against her body, step by step drawing them closer.

Soon they were in a room. Zoe couldn't quite tell which room Devyn had opted for, not immediately. Trouble with having identical living quarters, or at least nearly identical. She took a deep breath though, searching for the faint chemical scent of her own dark room, or perhaps the slightly muskier scent of Devyn's laundry, which was frequently unwashed and all. All Zoe could smell was Devyn, Devyn and Zoe's own gentle scent, mixed with a fair amount of alcohol, now that she stopped to consider it.

"I won't," she sighed as Devyn teased about the petals, or at least, Zoe thought it was a tease. Soon she lay upon the bed, lifting her feet up to let Devyn get better access. her eyes went to look at Devyn, the brown practically awash in emotion again. "Don't let me just fall asleep," she said, her voice soft, "not tonight. Tonight I want to be with you, and if we can't---can't go all the way, we can at least go far enough."

Zoe meant every word, though her voice trembled slightly, the alcohol only making it a little easier to say, only helping stave off the blush so much.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn had chosen her room to take them back to, since it was her room and she knew for sure she had everything that she would possible need when it came to dealing with Zoe for the morning hangover that would be sure to follow. That was not important right now, what was important was making sure that Zoe was alright, and that she had a good time. Zoe's happiness was also important at the moment. Devyn did have a few bit of clothing lying on the floor, but they were in a pile even still. She didn't do her laundry every day or anything, but it was a once a week thing. Every Monday and she was pretty good at washing her clothing once a week. Sure a sweatshirt of a pair of pants might go for two weeks without washing, but that was about the worse Devyn would get. She was for the most part a clean girl and did shower every day, she worked out after all and was not a fan of just sitting in her own sweat for too long.

Devyn chuckled a little at Zoe's 'i won't' and it was likely possible that Devyn too would forget to actually do it as well. She might recall it the next time she came across a rose, but if not she would probably actually not do the rose petals on the bed thing. She would have to clean it up too and petals never did good sucking up in the vacuum so she would have to use the hose to the vacuum or pick them up by hand. Plus there was the risk of missing some in the sheets and them ending up in the wash. What would happen to her sheets if that happened? She was not even sure in the slightest. Zoe was on the bed now and was even helping out as Devyn removed her girlfriends shoes and then her own. Taking them over to her bedroom door, which she closed and locked after setting the shoes down. Going back over to Zoe as she started to loosen her tie, hearing Zoe tell her to not let her fall asleep. that they might not been able to go all the way that they were at least going to go as far as they could.

Devyn smirked at that as she removed her hat and let it drop to the floor, remain standing but leaned over the bed and over Zoe. "You sure? You are a bit intoxicated and I would not want to take advantage of you." Devyn teased in a whisper but it was true that she did not want to take advantage over someone under the influence unless she was as well. The only reason why it was a tease was because they had done it before and Zoe had said what she wanted from Devyn before she had something to drink. Not outright said it but hinted to it and thus why Devyn was leaning down to give Zoe a kiss, staying in it until she could no longer fully feel her lips and pulled back. "Don't know how much we can do with that dress on however." Devyn pointed out, as she remained leaned over Zoe, arms resting on the bed to support her weight while she remained standing. Her green eyes looking down as Zoe, already so tempted to just lose herself.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

"I'm sure," insisted Zoe, nodding as solemnly as she could manage. She still felt a little off, her head swimming and everything seeming a little slower for some reason, but she knew she wanted this. That want had held from before she'd drank too much, and it continued to hold now, when Zoe felt the intoxication working its way through her system.

When Devyn leaned down for a kiss, Zoe leaned up, pressing her lips against her girlfriend's for as long as they could, the long hours of practice the two had in this showing. Zoe looked up at Devyn with an expression of longing then, every inch of her wishing that this night could end as it should, with Devyn being her first. She'd settle for what she could though, and she knew it would still be wonderful. Of course, as Devyn pointed out, they couldn't do anything with Zoe still wearing her dress.

"You should help me get out of it then," said Zoe. She reached up to lightly tap Devyn's nose with a finger, smiling coyly up at her girlfriend. She gestured for Devyn to move so Zoe could scoot toward the edge of the bed. The zipper to said dress happened to be in back, after all, so she'd need a little help getting out of it. Not that Zoe expected Devyn to resist overmuch; at most Zoe expected the girl to simply get frustrated. "Don't tear anything," she said, predicting that, her eyes going to her girlfriend's with a little warning mixed into the desire this time.

[Devyn Solway]

The kissing always felt so nice, even when Devyn could not feel it. She would have liked to be able to feel it the whole time, to be able to deepen the kiss but she knew better. Knew to hold back and she planned on doing her best at just that. She was not going to push things too far however, even if that was what Zoe wanted. She could not. It would have worked herself up too much and then the desire for everything would just be stronger and harder to ignore. She had to ignore it for her and Zoe's sake so she did not end up getting hurt by her girlfriend which would in turn hurt Zoe. She still would do what she had showed Zoe before, what they had practiced from time to time. It had been enough at one point and sometimes it would seem like it would be enough, but it was not. Not enough for three months of waiting, teasing, and wanting it since day one of possible just meeting Zoe.

"I will." Devyn responded back as she went to nip at the finger that tapped at her nose. There was the gesture and Devyn moving back to allow Zoe to move and Devyn was already helping Zoe move if she had to. There would be so much skin exposed on Zoe's part, Devyn was going to have to keep everything on and keep track how long she did keep contact with her skin to Zoe. The was the warning to not tare anything that had Devyn smirking slyly, like she was up to something. "Darn, I always find the sound of tearing fabric to be so pleasing to the ears, but I'll try and control myself." Devyn said as she slowly moved her hands along the dress, feeling Zoe's body beneath it as she made her way up Zoe's back, taking her time to run her hands along the way up to the zipper before grabbing ahold of it and pulling it down. As she did her other hands was busy moving the straps that were on the shoulder so she could kiss along Zoe's shoulders and then up Zoe's neck a little if Zoe didn't move too much.

She was careful about the kiss, doing what Zoe had did earlier with allowing her lips to recover feeling while remain really close to the skin so it was almost like she was still kissing it. "Mmmmm...I don't know for sure if this is a good idea." Devyn admitted because with just how things were, it was so perfect. She felt like some dog in heat however and that was not perfect. She was not even sure if she actually got like that, but it was possible.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

{brace yourself for some minor god-moding}

Zoe giggled as Devyn teased. "Wait till I'm wearing one of your shirts before you go tearing," she answered back. What she didn't tell Devyn was that she was perfectly fine with it, that she actually meant it. Being wanted so badly that your lover tore clothing from you to bare what lay underneath? Could there really be a higher feeling than that? It fit so gloriously into Zoe's fantasies that she had to close her eyes and picture it for a moment. Hands moved to pull away her clothing, Zoe moving to allow and help, walking through the motions, living a dream she'd had so often with Devyn before. No movement, kisses allowed free on all the points that made Zoe shudder and coo.

"Stop thinking," she said as the dress fell free. Zoe rose, letting it slide from her. She returned to Devyn then, moving to push her girlfriend down into the sheets. What followed would be an act of love, at least from Zoe. Bodies would move against one another, dancing together in the sheets in dances that humanity had learned from its birth. Each aching moment caused Zoe's heart to race, sheer want echoing through her. Not simply a bodily want, but the desire to express her love and devotion to the woman who had coaxed her out of her shell, helped her understand herself. The craving for two fleshes to become one ached within Zoe, but she knew the rules, knew where to draw the lines, knew that they could only do so much.

That much would allow them to see stars, the sheer intimacy of the actions speaking louder than words could manage. It hung for the briefest moment, precariously balanced, before taking them both dragging with it. Minutes, hours, time became meaningless between them, and soon it passed as the pure moment of bliss flowered into being. It passed, and the two would find themselves entangled in one another, sheet providing a barrier thin enough to block a frustrating power, but not enough to prevent them from feeling each other's heartbeat.

It was, in short, how a prom night should end, or as close as two lovers, and they were that now, could get without touch.

[Devyn Solway]

"Fair enough." Devyn responded back, since she could get herself some more clothing if she really needed them. She might have had a very bad relationship with her mother but he mother still had things she had to do in order to keep getting her husband’s money. One of those things was still looking and taking care of Devyn like a mother had to so Devyn was not worried about ripping any of her shirts. Now she just had to get Zoe in one and wait for another moment like this or just the feeling and then she could make little pieces of fabric out of what would have been a shirt before. Zoe didn't fight anything or move away, allowing Devyn to more or less do as she like and it was wonderful to attack Zoe's weak spot and Devyn had found that she loved to do whenever she could. There were words then from Zoe, words that Devyn had used on Zoe before and had her smiling warmly at them having been used in return.

Eyes locked on Zoe as she stood and the dress was nothing more than a pile of fabric on the floor. Zoe took charge then and Devyn would not deny that it just made the desire for Zoe stronger than it had been before. It was a challenge to hold back and Devyn actually had fear. Part of the fear causing her heart to race but everything happening between her and Zoe causing the heart to really beat fast. Breathing to change and the feeling of warmth rising. Devyn still had fear either way. Fear that one of them was going to lose control, going to forget the rules, and that Devyn was going to end up hurt again. The fear only made her a little more cautious sometimes hesitant but Zoe proved that she still had self-control even after having some of the tainted punch. Didn't matter either way, Devyn’s mind was having a hard time thinking about anything, let alone fears of not being able to fully hold herself back. They had practiced, this was fine, and everything was going fine. It was perfect.

Devyn was not sure how much time had passed, but she had made sure to go herself until Zoe looked as if she was to the point of being tired as well. Devyn tired herself of course and feeling the bliss of having Zoe still close to her even if the sheets were separating them. Devyn eyes were closed but she was still awake, regains control over everything that seemed to still be still back in the moment and was settling down. It was not what Devyn had wanted out of the night, but it was the next best thing and it had her having a smile on her face. "That was...amazing." Devyn could not help but to say it since she was the type to speak her mind and she knew that Zoe liked praise. Devyn gave praise where praised deserved to be and Zoe really did earn every second from start to finish of it.

I think I'm falling in love with her... Devyn thought to herself, that new fear setting in but it didn't take away the smile that Devyn had on her face as the thought was easily pushed out of her mind and full more so at this current moment.


{wonderfully written, and this way i learn too!}

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

If Zoe were a cat, she'd have been purring now. She certainly curled about her lover like one, glad for the sheet. She could still smell a little bit of the alcohol that had helped give her extra confidence, though she knew they would have ended up like this even without that social lubricant. Zoe felt languid, actually knew what that word meant as she stretched against her girlfriend, her lover.

"We're getting to know each other," she said, opening her eyes and looking up at Devyn. What Zoe didn't add was that their feelings were deepening. Her heart swelled just to look at Devyn, and that had to have something to do with what had passed between them. She thought she saw something settling into Devyn's mind, the brain working. A sober Zoe, one that didn't have alcohol mixing with contentment, would have asked, would have pushed. As it was, this Zoe curled against Devyn.

Sleep crept up on her then, and she let out a little coo as she pulled Devyn against her, draping her sheet-wrapped limb across her girlfriend. "I love you, Devyn," she murmured, alcohol and exhaustion making her not care that she said it again. Let Devyn hear it; she knew it anyway. What they just did communicated it a good deal more clearly than the words anyway.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn was tried; tired, relaxed, and warm after everything they had done and as they lay close to one another. Zoe scent and Devyn’s were mixed in now, forming something new or more so like a bond. Their bond in the relationship. Just thinking about it creepy Devyn out but at the same time just added to the warmth of it all. Devyn let out a small yawn, messing with her hair a little bit to make sure it was out of her face. Even still she was a bit sweaty but there was no way she was going to leave this bed without a little power nap. Power nap, then get up to possibly shower but one hundred percent she was going to get up to get something to eat. She was hungry now, but sleep and warmth were calling her name. Devyn's green eyes blinked at Zoe's words, not fully understanding it. They were getting to know one another? Didn't they already know one another? Or was she talking about knowing each other’s weakness that made them feel weak and want more?

"I guess we are." Devyn responded that answer was good as any right, or would it have been best if she didn't say anything? Zoe was looking at her now and Devyn looked at her back, not saying anything but those mixed feelings still there but the 'bad' ones not as powerful at the moment. Not powerful enough for her to attempt to leave or move away from Zoe. Zoe didn't ask or push anything so Devyn didn't think about it much more than that. Just went for silence as she blinked her eyes a few times, feeling like falling asleep was a good idea. Zoe released another one of her cute coos and pulled Devyn against her, Devyn moving a little to go with the pulling and moved an arm around Zoe as well, just a little lower. There was a sheet in the way so it made things a tad bit complicated but it was needed to prevent any unwanted paralyses. Even more so with the two of them starting to fall asleep. You didn't want to fall asleep and accidently end up touching each other’s skin.

Zoe said she loved Devyn again, the word making the sleep that Devyn felt go away a little as she moved only slightly. Not fully moving away, but did move one of her arms that was around Zoe back towards her own body. Not fully, but just a little bit as if wanting to curl up away from things that kept saying that word. Did Zoe want her to return? She was supposed to. Devyn had said it before...but not in a long time. "I...I think I'm going to have to change my sheets when we wake." Devyn teased, going for that because that was safer. It felt better. Not complicated. "Get some sleep Zoe." Devyn said a moment after, letting out a yawn herself and moved just a little bit more to be completely comfortable.
