[ What the fuck? Oh what the fuck! What the hell was he supposed say now? It was with an exasperated sigh that he threw open the door, reaching out and grabbing her by the wrist to keep her from leaving. ]
Calm the fuck down! It's not a bad smell, it's just...you're a Cordis or whatever so the pheromones get pretty intense and my nose is really sensitive right now. You can't wash the scent away, it just stays there...
[ The more he talked, the more his cheeks were flaring with embarrassment rather than irritation. ]
[ leaving is kind of difficult when someone suddenly grabs you by the wrist--well, honestly, she could've easily gotten out of it but instead turned to face a very reddened mista. ]
... You're lucky my first instinct wasn't to knock you out. Next time you should probably clarify those facts instead of just repeating how much I smell.
[ with a bob and weave of those tails, she looks down at their hands curiously ]
You could've just let me go if it's too difficult for you to handle y'know.
Five minutes?! That's not even a warning, what if I'm busy or something?? Or not even home or there's someone over...??
[ He didn't want to come out and say certain things, but surely someone like Jolyne could understand where he was coming from. There was a heavy sigh, Mista flushing even more as he felt those tails brushing against him. ]
It's Trish, from back home, she didn't have anyone to stay with and I figured since Giorno...I just didn't wanna leave her alone, I figured it would be better for us both to have someone around.
[ a hum and a nod before she rests her arms behind her head ]
I see how it is, it's that kind of situation huh? Good job, I'm proud of you--besides, you said you weren't busy in your initial response and it was quiet so.
[ slight shrug ]
Sorry about the whole smell thing though, no one's ever brought it up before... and even since we first met outside the mooncycles Diego was always prone to just sniffing me... Actually I'm pretty sure Anasui did as well...
[ He furrowed his brow slightly before a deep flush crept over his cheeks and his hands came up defensively. ]
Whoa, whoa, you're getting the wrong idea there! Trish and I...look...we've been through some stuff together, okay? Besides, I think some of the shit we had to deal with...it'd be kind of weird...look, it's hard to explain.
[ UGH. ]
But seriously, no one's ever said anything? Did you really not know about the pheromones?
You know, even if it were that situation you wouldn't be any less of a good boy. It's not like you're taking advantage of a stranger or anything, it's someone you have history with and you're close to... so it's not like weird or anything if it was something.
[ pulling in closer now, she hugs onto his arm and shakes her head ]
No? Why would anyone bother to bring this up? They might come off as creepy... or you know, insulting.
No, no, you're really not getting it. It'd definitely be weird.
[ Shit, how was he supposed to explain it? He let out an exasperated sigh, closing his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose as his ears twitched atop his head. ]
Look, she told me if I ever put my hand in her panties she'd kill me. I was in her body at the time so it's not as bad as it sounds.
[ There was a shrug as he turned and gestured for her to follow him. ]
[ she's not really too worried about this conversation, mista is a lot more caught up on the details than she is. what jolyne does notice though was the twitch of those ears. reaching up she starts to run her finger along the edge of one before gently squeezing and rubbing it ]
Bodyswapping? Like Freaky Friday or Deja Vu? Why were you shoving your hands down your pants at that time? Were you exploring in public? Bad call dude...
[ she's following along easily enough though, the dance of those fluffy tails ]
[ He practically melted under that touch to his ear, scowling even though it felt amazing. ]
I wasn't exploring! She wears these underwear that have really uncomfortable elastic and it fucking hurt, how was I supposed to keep my hands away when they were practically cutting off the circulation to my legs??
Yeah well, they should just let it be natural or something? What's the point if you're suffering the whole time, it's stupid!
[ Mista. Stop. ]
She's great, though, she's been through a lot and I didn't want her to be alone. By the time everything was over it was just Giorno and Trish and me...
Mista... do you ever check out a girl's body? Sometimes we've gotta do something a little drastic in order to get your attention... a little push, and squeeze and you get that extra something that draws the eye.
[ ah, that kind of convo again... there was that look to him, hands to his chest before leaning in closer ]
... Hey, did you want to go hang out in your room?
Dunno, I never got that far with anybody to find out, but I would assume that at that point the guy is too excited to care about those details.
[ with a smile she carefully pulls away with a weave of those nine tails, making her way to his bedroom. she was thankful that was enough to distract him, not that she didn't care about his feelings on the matter of the people he's lost, but more that she doesn't want him dwelling on it more than necessary for his own sake. ]
What kind of movies do you enjoy watching? We could watch something while we hang out together... Make it fun for the both of us, right?
No need to apologize, you had no warning to accept the conditions as they are.
[ it was easy enough for her to overlook the state of things, it's not like she came over to be impressed by his grand housekeeping or something. for now she instead takes the moment to sit next to him on the bed only to watch him thoughtfully ]
Dude, I thought we covered this in the closet before. This is a no judgement zone, if you like romcoms then you like romcoms, it's no big deal. I mean, there's a reason why they take up a good portion of the market, right?
But Pretty Woman... that's pretty specific... Did you also watch Runaway Bride and My Best Friend's Wedding?
Anyway, whatever choice you make is fine by me. Watching things with others is far more entertaining than just watching it on your own.
Ah, yeah I guess we did kind of cover that already...
[ He flopped down on the edge of the bed beside her, letting out a heavy sigh as he leaned back to prop himself up with his arms. ]
They were okay, but Pretty Woman is a classic, I could probably watch it a million times and never get tired of it. The Bridges of Madison County too, but it's not as much of a staple as Pretty Woman...
[ There was a shrug as he just slid all the way down onto his back and stared at the ceiling. ]
We could probably watch any of them I guess, I'm not sure how easy they are to get here.
[ oh comfort, that makes things better. laying back beside him jolyne finds herself looking up at the ceiling, the slight tilt of her head as she was trying to find some shapes much like cloud watching. the only distraction was the revelation that mista didn't really have these movies on hand. ]
... Are you trying to tell me you haven't attempted to get any of these movies yet? Why not?
[ jolyne, please remember that mista is forever poor. never forget. ]
Like I guess we could see if they have an equivalent on prismaflix, but I gotta warn you now sometimes the changes could be... interesting.
[ there was that shift now, glancing around before catching sight of the remote and taking it up ]
... I forget you're from a time before hearing the phrase netflix and chill. Here, this is way better than a movie rental place, you don't even have to leave the house.
[ it was a few steps to get the application open and getting her information put in ]
You pay a monthly fee and you could watch all the movies you want... but again, they're very much prisma renditions of movies... Let's see now, pretty... iris. Yeah, I guess that works.
[ There was a shrug as he settled back again, brow lifted as he watched her get everything set up. ]
So you can watch it anywhere but you still pay for it the same way you do when you go out and rent a movie? You pay for the month and then for each movie?
[ selecting the movie she moves to lay back again, conveniently snuggling onto mista comfortably while still being able to watch the screen ]
Hm? You just pay for the monthly fee, they don't charge for each movie. Technology has come a long way, when they first started you had to get the DVDs mailed to you, you could pay to rent up to three at one point. But now you don't even have to fuss with that anymore.
You could keep using my account if you want, it's no big deal.
Hmmm? Really? I mean, it costs you money so I should probably pay you back or something...
[ He didn't fight the fact that she was trying to snuggle onto him, even as a faint flush settled on his cheeks. She was warm and she smelled nice, why would he complain? He shifted just a little, carefully bringing an arm up around her and staring intently at the screen.
Just focus on the movie, there's not anything weird about this. ]

Sorry about the mess...
