School Food... Enough Said (open)

[Kylie Jenson]

Kylie smiled at him and squeezed his hand gently. "Well, I'm certainly glad you've had a good day, too," she told him, her skin shivering slightly with delight at the feel of Vixen's hand rubbing her back and pulling her closer. Her face was quite close to his now, so she closed the distance and kissed him once more, a soft, sweet, fairly innocent-feeling sort of kiss. That done, she gave him a shy smile and snuggled back down on his chest, wrapping her arms around him loosely.

Kylie liked these sorts of situations. She was a cuddling sort of person, and this was the perfect kind of no pressure, sweet, innocent cuddling situation for her. In this way, Kylie was really rather child-like, taking pleasure in small, sweet things that would normally not interest most kids her age. But while quite a few members of her age group were experimenting with various kissing techniques, Kylie was merely content just lying here, comfortable in Vixen's arms. Not that she would've minded the experimentation, either.

[Vix]

Vix smiled, and kissed Kylie back, keeping her in his arms. He liked holding her. He felt very protective over her suddenly. He stroked her hair again. He let the soft strands of her hair fall through the inbetweens of his fingers and smiled. He kissed her forehead lightly and nuzzled against the top of her head. He half wished they were having a bit more... fun at the moment but he enjoyed simply holding her too. He hadn't much, well any, experience with anything like that, so it was a bit safer to just stick with the cuddling. He was tempted to be adventurous again, but thought better of it. He continued to play with her hair, and rub her back. After a few moments he couldn't help but give into temptation, but only partially. He slowly slide his hand lower on her back, on moved it to her side. He slide his hand under her shirt, waiting to see her reaction.

[Kylie Jenson]

Though Kylie did not have the same powers to feel others' feelings as Vix did, she could still feel that he was somewhat conflicted over the whole cuddling thing. The only thing she couldn't figure out was if it was because he was suddenly becoming uncomfortable with doing this with a girl he'd just met, or if it was because he wanted something a little more. She soon had her answer.

She flinched a little bit as Vixen's fingers came in contact with the skin beneath her shirt, the muscles automatically tightening up. She forced herself to relax, though, unsure of what to do now. Was there some sort of thing she was supposed to say? She couldn't know, especially since she was rather unsure of what was really going on anyway. She knew -correction, she hoped- that Vixen wouldn't hurt her, and it was the only reason she hadn't leaped up and left the room already. Instead, she shot him a questioning look but said nothing, waiting to see his next move.

[Vix]

Vix pulled his hand away, and bit his lip. "Sorry..." He thought he'd upset her, but he couldn't tell. She tightened up when he touched her, and he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable. He sat up, letting Kylie slide off of his lap and he scotched away from her a bit. He looked down, angry at himself. It was times like these when he wanted to grab the blade and let himself have it, but he knew that would only further upset Kylie, and he'd already messed things up between them enough. He sunk his teeth deeper into his lip, beating himself up inside. He wished he could somehow remove himself from the situation, or better yet, remove the situation entirely. He wished he'd never even tried to kiss Kylie for a moment, then realized he'd never wish away the way he felt when he was close to her. He just wished he would've ignored his want to push her, when he knew she didn't want it.

[Kylie Jenson]

Kylie frowned a little bit when Vix pulled his hand away and moved away from her. She felt like she'd hurt his feelings, and she was a bit confused as to why he'd moved away. Had she done something wrong? She wondered if perhaps it was because she'd tensed up at first when Vix had put his hand under her shirt. She reached over and rested her hand on his knee, her heart twisting with pain at the sight of his facial expression. He just looked so upset, and it physically hurt Kylie to see anyone that way, especially Vix.

"No, no, don't be sorry," she said softly, scotching a bit closer to him. "You just startled me, that's all. I wasn't expecting it. I'm not... you didn't upset me or anything. Just... startled me." She moved her hand to his arm, rubbing it gently, trying to look into his downcast eyes.

[Vix]

Vix glanced over at Kylie. He made himself look less sad, and straightened up. "Oh..." His voice trailed off. He was still mad at himself, her explanation didn't change that. He just wasn't angry with himself for the same reasons now. He was mad now because of his reaction. She had just tightened up, and he over reacted. He wanted to smack himself. He wanted to scream at himself for being an idiot. He knew that wouldn't help the situation, so all he did was look at Kylie. Then, with a snap decision, he hugged her tight. He held her close to him, and he hoped her wasn't crushing her. He opened his mouth to say something, but snapped it shut. He just held her. He liked the closeness, and figured him trying to explain anything wouldn't help, since it might upset Kylie, which he was avoiding.

[Kylie Jenson]

Kylie's frown deepened as Vix didn't seem to be considerably comforted by her explanation. So she was a bit surprised when she was pulled into a tight hug, letting out a small little 'ouf' of air as she was. The sound quickly turned to a chuckle, and Kylie returned the boy's hug, turning her head so that she could kiss his cheek.

"It's alright," she cooed softly in his ear, hoping to make him feel a little better. She patted and rubbed his back gently. "You can... um..." This was something that she truly didn't know how to say. She'd never been in such an odd situation, and she had no clue how to give him permission to continue doing what he'd been doing, mainly because she wasn't quite sure what that really was to begin with. "You can resume... if you want." There. That didn't sound terribly stupid. "You won't startle me this time."

[Vix]

Vix shook his head. He didn't want to mess things up anymore, so he figured he'd stick to the cuddling. It worked better, and he enjoyed it. "Nah, I think I like holding you better anyway." He said smiling. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her back into his lap. He kissed the top of her head lightly, and rubbed her arm lightly. This time, he forced himself to ignore his temptations. He was now convinced that it wasn't worth it, not yet at least. But now he was more focused on what this meant. He knew they had just met and all, but friends don't normally do this. Vix had seen how friends act when they're together, and even if it is a boy and a girl, it didn't end up like this. "So... What does this mean for us?" He asked, hoping she'd know.

[Kylie Jenson]

And so they'd gone back to the way they had been before, Kylie sitting in Vix's lap, feeling once again sort of like a little child. Though she liked things this way, she had a feeling that Vix was being a little resigned about this, but that was something she couldn't help.

She, too, had started to wonder what all of this was going to mean for them. It wasn't really a friend-ish relationship, that was one thing Kylie knew for sure. But what would they call this? They hadn't been on a date, so they couldn't be "dating". But what else could they possibly be.

"I don't really know..." she answered Vix's question honestly. She pondered for a moment, then continued, "I don't think we can really be considered just friends, not after... all of this. Maybe... we should go on a date? Then we could be considered 'dating', at least." It seemed like a good solution to her.

[Vix]

Vix smiled. "I'd like that." He had never been on a date before, but the thought of actually going on one excited him. He kissed Kylie lightly. "Where would you like us to go to on our date?" He asked, clearly excited. He was trying to think of where they could go but he hadn't really adventured around the town enough to see anywhere they could go. He remembered Professor K:anode said something about some sort of restaurant. A bar and grill he believed. He was considering suggesting it, but he thought that maybe that Kylie wouldn't want to go for that sort of thing. He figured letting her choose would be best, after all it was her idea to go on a date. She might have already had somewhere in mind and he didn't want her to think he didn't care what she thought might be a good idea by not letting her answer his question.

[Kylie Jenson]

Kylie considered where she wanted to go for their date for a while. She remembered that there had been a bar and grill near the town run by a former student of Galaxium. She'd been told so by Headmistress Flynn when the woman had given her a tour of the school. She thought about suggesting that for a moment, then dismissed the idea. A dinner date sounded sort of cliche, if you asked her. Which, in a way, Vixen had.

Suddenly, what she believed to be an excellent idea popped into her mind. "Oh, I know!" she said happily, clapping her hands together. "We could go to the beach! Professor Flynn said there's one nearby, just down a path from the school, really, and there's one section of it that that the 'normal' people hardly ever go to! What do you think?" She turned excited eyes to him, hoping he would agree with her.

[Vix]

Vix smiled, he loved seeing Kylie so happy. He dreaded the beach, he really didn't like it at all. He wanted to say no, but when he looked at Kylie, he just couldn't. She was too happy, too excited, too hopeful for him to refuse her anything. "Sure, sounds fun. I'd love it. " He didn't lie either. It did sound kind of fun. He'd have fun just seeing Kylie in her swim suit, and the mini skirts she wore said something about how the suit would look. Vix didn't care so much about her swim suit though. He would love to go on a date with her anywhere, no matter where. He'd be willing to go to a slaughter house on a date with her if she wanted to, even though the thought of that made Vix shudder. He was happy enough to get to go on a date with her at all.
