#elementalcessily

Nerves were building in Tandy as they waited for Cessily to show up to their dorm room. They had texted her asking to come over. Tyrone was in class right then for the next couple hours, which would give them time alone to talk. They had already given him more specifics regarding the future, even crying on his shoulder at one point. Their hope was they wouldn’t ending up crying with the other woman. While they didn’t plan on telling her details about their father, they worried about their reaction to who they had been with in the future. They couldn’t keep it to themselves, though. There was a knock on the door, and they jumped from their place on their bed. Rushing to the door, they opened it with a tense smile. “Hey there,” they greeted, before stepping out of the way. “Welcome to my tiny home. Feel free to ignore the mess.”

Cessily couldn’t deny she was nervous about seeing Tandy for the first time since their little excursion into the future but that was no reason to not make an effort. Her future self had been far too modest in her clothing selection for her liking so she was making the most of the revealing and tight fitting items she found in her closet. She had already added a subtle wave to her vivid red hair - which was the only thing she could really change about her appearance as her silver complexion made wearing makeup impossible. A pair of ripped denim shorts and a plain cream top which showed off her midriff were hastily thrown on and she grabbed a jacket on the way out so the outfit didn’t quite scream ‘bed me’. Arriving at Tandy’s address she steadied her nerve and knocked on the door, flashing a huge silver smile as it swung open to reveal the blonde. “Hey gorgeous,” she purred as her silver eyes did their customary roam up and down Tandy’s figure. “Mess? Why would I be looking at the mess when I can look at you instead?” She teased though it was just a tiny bit forced. Her gaze did take in the surroundings and she smirked as she saw the mess that had been mentioned. Cessily wasn’t normally one for sentiment but as her silver eyes met Tandy’s she found herself saying, “it’s really good to see you.”

Any doubt that Tandy wasn’t in the present faded with the sight of Cessily. She truly hadn’t realized how different her style was in the future, until she was reminded of how she dressed now. The sight of her midriff alone caused her stomach to do backflips. Her breath caught in her throat, and her face warmed, wondering for probably the dozenth time how the gorgeous woman could be interested in her. She blinked out of her daze at Cess greeting her, and her body heated as her eyes glanced down at her. She was in shorts and a tank top, along with gray knee high socks, with a sloppy ponytail on top. “You’re the gorgeous one by the looks of it,” she replied with a bite of her lip. Her smile became less anxiety filled, and more genuine at her next remark. She closed the door as she came inside. A skip in her heartbeat arose at Cess’ words, while it also filled her with worry. What if this was how she ended up losing her? “It’s really good to see you, too.” She stepped forward, taking her hand and squeezing it. After a moment, though, she decided that wasn’t enough for her, and moved closer and wrapped her arms around her. She buried her face in her neck and held on tight. “I missed you. This.”

”Not from where I'm standing,” the silver girl purred in reply. Tansy’s outfit caused her to take a second long look and Cessily’s imagination began to run wild with images of knee high socks and Tandy in a full schoolgirl outfit. She forced the image to the back of her mind, thinking such things would do her no good if she was about to get dumped. Her worrying increased as her shiny hand was squeezed, was that all she was going to get? Relief filled her soon after as Tandy pressed their bodies together and Cessily allowed herself a sigh of relief - she wasn't getting dumped. Her arm snaked around the blonde’s waist and she held her tightly, pulling them even closer together. “I missed you too beautiful. I missed us.” She let out a nervous chuckle, “I thought I'd be leaving here single.” It felt strange using the word single but it felt good to have aired her fear. Her shimmering silver hand rose to the back of Tandy’s head and she slowly removed the tie holding their hair in a ponytail. Once their hair fell she ran her silver fingers through it, remembering how much Tandy liked that. She leaned down and kissed the top of Tandy’s head and asked softly “are you ok?”

The familiarity of Cessily’s flirting and endless charm comforted and eased Tandy more, at least. Their blush was there to stay from the moment the silver woman stepped into the room. They relaxed into her body more as her arms came around them, breathing in her scent and holding on even tighter. When they heard what her worry had been, they drew their face back to meet her eyes. “You won’t be, Cess.” They hoped she wouldn’t be, but it depended on how she felt about what they told them. Their head arched back as her ponytail was freed, before pressing their body further against Cess’. They shut their eyes from the kiss to their forehead, and released a shuddery sigh at the question. “A lot of the future...bothered me,” they admitted quietly, slowly opening their eyes to look at her again. “It’s stressing me out. Especially this one thing I want to tell you cause I want to be honest. And it might not even matter to you or it will, but I don’t want to keep it to myself.” Their fingers brushed through the red hair while they paused. “I...wasn’t exactly single in the future. Apparently, I was dating someone for a long time. It became on and off, but...I know this person already.”

Cessily couldn't stop her hand sliding under Tandy’s top to rest on her back, craving the feeling of her warm skin on her fingers. Her silver features turned into a big smile when she had confirmation she wouldn't be leaving single but she could tell there was more to come so she continued her soothing strokes through blonde hair. Despite seeing Tandy struggle to talk about her concerns she couldn't help her silver lip curling into a lop sided smirk. “The green haired girl? Apparently I have rather unkind names for her.” She pulled Tandy in closer, squeezing her tight. “I dunno if you cheated or if I was dumped but I didn't take it well. I rebounded so hard I got knocked up by Eva’s brother who I haven't even met yet. Apparently we were happy… until he died. My rather eagle eyed daughter told me how you'd turn up upset sometimes and I'd cheer you up by watching horror films all night.” She grinned cheekily, “I guess that means we did a lot of screaming.” She sighed. “So yeah, I know I was second best but I also know a rather smart Aussie chick once told me the future is never set. Nothing we saw or had is set in stone.” She gulped and blinked rapidly, suddenly feeling a rush of emotion that she hadn't expected. “If you… y’know… wanna go after her or whatever… I get it, I won't get in the way or anything if that's what you want. I just… well let's just say I'm not done with you yet if you wanna stick with me.” She tried to smile confidently but her worry was still present behind her silver eyes.

Tandy shivered at Cessily’s fingers against her bare back. It was a welcome distraction from the serious discussion they were having; it reminded her they were still together. Her body tensed up a bit at the mention of Lorna. “Yeah. Lorna Dane. Also known as Polaris.” Also known as ‘my grinch’ in the future. She bit down on her lower lip as she listened to Cess talked about what happened to them. Her chest grew tighter the more she heard, unable to stop the guilt that built up in her. “That’s something Lorna told me, too. That it’s only a future.” It didn’t lessen her stress that it was the future that would happen. She blinked in confusion at what the silver woman last spoke. “Cess...No. Never,” she promised with wide eyes. “She’s a friend. That’s it. I don’t want her like that.” She never could, not when she knew what it led to. “It destroyed me to know we weren’t together. It hurts to know...that me in the future hurts you so badly. I’m sorry.” She wasn’t sure why she was apologizing for something she hadn’t done yet or ever, but it came out anyway. “I’m...I’m falling for you, Cessily. I was expecting you to want to be done with me after finding out how everything turns out.” A lump formed in her throat, before a thought crossed her mind. “Your daughter...You could never have her, if we stayed together,” she murmured. “Being with me and not rebounding...means you won’t have her.” She glanced away for a few moments. “That’s like asking you to choose between me and your future daughter.”

Cessily noticed Tandy tense up and tried her best to keep her features soft and impassive but she couldn't keep the contempt from her voice as she spoke. Any mention of the Brotherhood made her instantly think of Eva laying lifeless in hospital. “Yeah I know her. Future queen bitch of the Brotherhood.” Wanting to lighten the mood after her outburst she smirked at the stunning blonde before her. “Guess bad girls are your type, gorgeous,” she purred. Cessily had seen enough films to know dwelling on a future that was never guaranteed was a bad thing. “We get to write a whole new future now. Just know what could happen makes our decisions different, which makes that future gone already. Even if it's just a minor change.” She raised a shimmering silver hand and caressed Tandy’s cheek softly with her finger. “How about we focus on the here and now and let whatever's to come sort itself out?” The silver girl felt her heart skip as Tandy confessed to falling for her, she wanted to say the same thing as she felt the same way but expressing her emotions was one of her biggest downfalls. “I'll never be done with you beautiful. Even after you hurt me I wasn't done in the future.” Her silver lips opened and closed several times but words refused to come out. “This is all new to me, I gotta say I like this falling thing. It feels… special.” She knew it was lame but it was the best she could manage. She hoped Tandy understood she was trying. Hearing Tandy talk about her having to choose actually made her smile, probably not the reaction Tandy was expecting. “Not necessarily.” Placing a finger under Tandy’s chin she lifted her head so their gaze met once more. “The future taught me this perfect specimen of a body can carry a child and still be hot as hell after, but I also found out Dee and Eva were having a baby, that was theirs. If our mothering instinct takes over we could always do the same.”

The name Cessily used on Lorna didn’t sit particularly right with Tandy. They didn’t exactly want to defend the Brotherhood, but they also didn’t want to ignore the insult thrown at their friend. “She’s...She’s just doing what she thinks is right. I can respect that,” they replied with a sheepish shrug. Her next remark did tug a smile onto their lips. “I suppose they are, never thought they’d be my type.” They listened to her talk about how they could create a whole new future, and tried to believe her, that nothing was set in place. “You’re right,” they murmured, leaning into the touch and closing their eyes. Her reassurance calmed them, even if it was only slightly. They needed that right then. Their eyes opened again at her speaking again, chest tightening up again at the idea of hurting the silver woman. “And I obviously wasn’t done with you either. You always had me coming back.” They couldn’t imagine their life without Cessily in it now, which, at least, in the future, she had still been apart of it. Somewhat. They watched her try to get something out, before they smiled softly. “It does. It really does.” The way they felt around her was almost indescribable. Her smile in response to their worries about her having to make a choice confounded the blonde. Why wasn’t she as worried about this as Tandy was? They let their head be tilted up, and let her words sink in. “We could...We could have kids of our own,” they mumbled. Their face heated up after they spoke. “I’d probably be a horrible mother,” they mused, half joking and half serious as they thought of their own mother. They feared repeating history. “You...You’d be amazing. And totally dotting, I bet, but act like you’re not,” they teased, leaning over and kissing the corner of her mouth. Letting their foreheads touch, they stayed quiet for a few moments. “You know how to make me feel better, Cess. Like, not, fake better, but genuinely feel better. You--You don’t judge me for how I feel. Or play them off.” They bit down on their lip. “I’m still new to someone being like that with me. Caring and shit. Which sounds pathetic. I just want you to know it makes me feel safe with you.”

"I get that," Cessily replied solemnly, "it's nothing personal. I just can't agree with an organisation that hurts innocent individuals to further their goals. It just rubs me up the wrong way, y'know?" Eva's story of being attacked by Mastermind was still vivid in her mind and she felt a flare of anger every time she thought of it but that wasn't what this meeting was about and Cessily was keen to change the subject. She wiggled her eyebrows flirtatiously, "I'll have to be a bad girl for you more often, see how crazy I can drive you." Cessily couldn't resist a gentle chuckle and flashed a silvery smile. "Then we'll never be done with each other. No matter what gets thrown at us." She leaned forward and kissed Tandy's forehead, really wanting to kiss the blonde properly but not feeling like it was a good time to stop the serious conversation. The future was never something she dwelled on, always one to live in the moment, sometimes to her own expense. "Yeah, we could," she cooed softly, "and hush, you'd be amazing. The caring, listening one to contrast my doting tough love. But... let's not get ahead of ourselves." She smiled supportively and nodded as she listened and her eyes were locked into Tandy's as she spoke, her silver fingers gliding through the sweet spot of Tandy's hair. "I'll do everything I can to make you feel good, beautiful. I might need a nudge in the right direction every now and then but how you feel is important to me. I care about you, and how you feel, a lot. And that definitely doesn't sound pathetic. I get it, I really do. I'll keep you as safe as I can. I promise." She simply couldn't resist any longer and whispered a soft "c'mere," as she leaned in close, pressing her lips onto Tandy's gently at first but increasing the pressure and passion behind it. She released a soft pleasure filled sigh but didn't break the kiss.

There was no denying what Cessily had said about the Brotherhood. Tandy wasn’t naive to various acts the organization had done that she didn’t approve of at all, especially after being on the receiving end of one of those unjustified attacks. But she believed Lorna wouldn’t let Mastermind continue being apart of the Brotherhood once that happened. “Gonna get my heart racing, then, Cess? Get my body hot all over?” she half teased, half challenged. “No matter what gets thrown at us,” she repeated in a promise, releasing a breath of relief as her forehead was kissed, with a surge of affection rushing into her chest. It was nice to slow down for a few minutes, and talk out what she was feeling. It was also incredibly terrifying for the blonde to be vulnerable like this. “You give me way too much credit, I would probably be too freaked out to even pick up a baby, let alone raise one. And right, just kinda cute to think about.” Would Cessily still believe she’d be a good parent, if she knew the parenting Tandy had grown up with, the habits she developed? She couldn’t dwell on the idea because soon the other’s chilled silver fingers were brushing through her hair, bring her mind back to reality. “I trust you, Cess. And I feel comfortable enough to tell you, y’know, if something’s wrong. I just...I want to make you feel good, too, be as good of a girlfriend as you are to me.” Her face froze in shock at her own word. “I--We hadn’t discussed it yet, but...That’s what we are, right? Girlfriends?” It sounded accurate, but more than that it felt right. Her heart missed a beat as the silver woman began to lean in close, and she closed her eyes before the cool lips even touched hers. A gasp came from her, forgetting how good her mouth felt, moving hers back eagerly. She threaded her fingers through her red hair, keeping up with the uptick in pace.

Cessily couldn't stop her excited grin spreading even further at Tandy’s teasing challenge. A challenge she most definitely accepted. “Oh gorgeous,” she purred, “my goal is always to get your heart racing and get your body as hot all over as I can.” To prove her point she lowered her arm and caressed her perfectly smooth silver fingers over the gap of bare skin showing between Tandy’s sexy socks and shorts. Her hand rose slightly to tuck her fingers under the hem of the shorts as she leaned in close to whisper in Tandy’s ear. “How am I doing so far?” With an encouraging smile Cessily repeated again “no matter what” as proof she meant it. Her free hand found its way to Tandy’s cheek, her silver thumb rubbing across it gently, supportively. “I'd trust you to pick up my baby. And I'd count on you to raise it. I don't exactly have the best role models so I'll need all the help I can get.” She chuckled softly. “Our kids would be criminally cute so it's probably good it's just an idea.” Had her silver complexion allowed it she would have been blushing furiously and for once in her life she would have made no effort to hide it. “You make me feel amazing, every time I see you it’s… Exhilarating. I've… I've never felt like this with anyone before.” Her smile slipped into her lop sided smirk at Tandy’s slip but she was thrilled it had happened, it meant she wouldn't have to awkwardly raise the subject as she thought she might. She grinned brightly. “Girlfriends. Yeah, we're definitely girlfriends.” Her silver eyes returned to Tandy’s wanting her sincerity to be perfectly clear with what she said next. “Secret girlfriends. For as long as you need us to be. Who gets told and when is up to you, I don't want you to feel rushed or pressured and I promise to be on my best behaviour in public with you.” She laughed, “yeah I know that doesn't mean much but still…” Feeling their fingers in her hair caused her to release another gentle moan and she lifted Tandy’s top enough for the bare skin on their midriffs were touching. She broke the kiss just long enough to purr. “I can't wait to see you in only those socks.” Her lips locked back onto Tandy’s as she kissed her girlfriend deeply - making sure their first kiss as officially girlfriends would be one they both would remember.

It had never filled Tandy with such relief as it did that night to see her hands radiating brightness. It had been a full day of having her normal abilities back, and she wasn’t taking that fact lightly. Her returning powers also gave her a reason to stop delaying going to the address that Cessily had shouted at her near the gym’s pool. Before everyone’s abilities were swapped, she hadn’t worked up the nerve to. She had a surge of confidence now that she had her powers back. She wasn’t going to waste it. Entering Baxter Building, her immediate thoughts were to how much her mother would love the decor. There was an air of elegance in the lobby, making her worry she was somehow underdressed. She calmed herself down by remembering she was here to see Cessily, not fit in with the aesthetic of the room. This was somewhere her mother would never step into because she was in Ohio. They walked to the elevator, pressing the button and waiting for a few moments, and stepping inside as soon as the doors opened. They selected the floor and tugged at their ponytail lightly. Their excitement and nervousness collided while the elevator rose, feeling like it was taking too fast and too slow. The edginess was half because the mere thought of Cessily brought a blush to their cheeks, and the other half was guilt for running away from her. They was amazed the silver woman even yelled her address to them, believing most people wouldn’t ever want to see someone again after something like that happening. They were struck by the fact that Cessily wasn’t most people. Their musings were interrupted by the signaling ding of the doors separating, startling them. There was nothing that was going to keep them from going through with this. The doors closed behind them and they took a deep breath. Every thud of their heart was sensed as they walked to the door with the apartment number they had been given. They didn’t let themselves hesitate, ripping off the band aid and knocking on it.

Cessily’s elation at having returned to her normal silver self had lasted all day and showed no signs of diminishing now that she was home. Her day at S.H.I.E.L.D had been one of her best since she had started at the base, people were equally as thrilled for her having her powers back as they were having their own abilities returned, that was probably because she had been a self-confessed pain in the ass since the power swap had begun, despite her best efforts not to be. Having returned home she had slithered out of her uniform and spent a good while just prancing around her apartment, revelling in the shimmering reflections of her surroundings as they criss-crossed her entire body. She had tested her shape shifting skills too, and found them to have returned to the level they had been at before, everything was ok again and Cessily’s confidence had received a much needed boost. As she was completing another pointless spin on the spot, just to make the reflected lights dance around her room, she froze as she heard a knock on the door. She hadn’t been expecting visitors. “One minute!” She called towards the door, “I’m not decent,” and she bolted to her bedroom. Her perfectly smooth skin made sliding on a tiny pair of shorts far easier than it had been over the last few days and she grabbed the first top that came to hand, throwing it on as she returned to the front door. It was an attempt at decent at least. Cessily swung the door open and as her silver eyes fell on her visitor for the first time her features split into a huge silvery grin. “Hey gorgeous,” she purred as her eyes roamed up and down the blonde before her, “I was starting to worry you hadn’t heard where to find me.” She swung the door open wider and stepped to the side, beckoning Tandy in. She couldn’t resist a good look up and down Tandy’s back as the blonde passed her. “Make yourself at home,” she threw Tandy a very flirtatious smirk before asking, “can I get you something?”

Tandyhad hoped that their anxiety would begin to lessen once they knocked and awaited Cessily’s answer. That hope had been extinguished the moment they heard her call out that she’d be a minute because she wasn’t decent. Heat rushed to their face at the image of it, having to tug on their ponytail to break themselves out of the vision. A moment after that the door opened and they were greeted with the sight of the silver woman. Her t-shirt brought a smile to their face, eyes roaming down to the shorts and her bare legs. She still sent them into a stunned silence at how beautiful she was. “Hey, Cessily,” they spoke somewhat shyly, cheeks leaving a pink tint as evidence to their earlier thoughts. “I’m sorry. I—This is new for me. Very new.” The newness caused fear in them. They were going in without much experience and the last thing they wanted to do was mess this up with her. When they were let in, they smiled wider at her and walked in. Their gaze down their body was noticed, shivering like a chill had run down their spine. The tempature was anything but cold. “Thank you.” Her teeth grazed over her bottom lip at the smirk. Her first impulse was to answer Cessily’s question with ‘yeah, you’, but she held herself back. “I’m good,” she told her instead. “For now.” Maybe her original answer would be used, later. Before anything else happened, she had to offer an explanation to what had happened last time they had seen each other. “I, um, really want to apologize, though.” Her eyes stayed on the silver ones. “I feel bad for running off on you. It wasn’t because of you, it was just—“ She sighed. “I don’t know. I do. I mean, I hate to say it, but I was freaked out. Not at you or anything, but at me.” Her words were more rambled than articulate. “And so I avoided coming over because I felt guilty and was scared. And then I couldn’t come over because of this whole other thing and now that’s over with and I’m here.” Letting out a breath, she ran her fingers through her ponytail. “I was sorta amazed you still wanted to see me.”

The smile from Cessily as her eyes fell on Tandy for the first time was warm and genuine, she was definitely pleased to see her and she found the soft pink glow radiating from their cheeks to be incredibly adorable. She spotted the roaming eyes and turned slightly to encourage it, bending her leg slightly in a small pose, she always encouraged such looks if she could. "I promise to be on my best behaviour," she replied gently after the reveal that all of this was new to the blonde. She couldn't resist adding a very flirtatious, "I'll try anyway," and chuckled hoping she could alleviate some of Tandy's nerves. Her silver lip curled on one side into a lop sided smirk, "well let me know and I'll get you anything you desire, whenever you want it." She winked, hoping she hadn't pushed too hard already. Her expression was soft and understanding as Tandy tripped over her apology, but she didn't interrupt, letting them say what they needed to. Once Tandy stopped speaking the silver girl smiled and shook her head, causing her vivid red hair to fly around her gleaming silver features. "You have absolutely nothing to apologise for, gorgeous. I pushed you pretty hard, I was surprised you didn't freak out sooner." Her eyes flashed playfully and she bit into her glimmering lower lip, all ideas of good behaviour abandoned her for a moment and she purred, "have you ever been told what a good kisser you are?" Her silver eyes glanced for a moment at Tandy's lips and Cessily shook her head again and laughed. "Sorry, being a good girl isn't something I'm very good at!" Her eyebrow arched so high it nearly disappeared into her hairline. "You got the rough end of a switch too?" She raised a shimmering silver hand and turned it around to make the light reflect off it in different ways, "I've been boringly normal since that crap started. It's really good to be back!" Another silvery flirtatious smirk was flashed Tandy's way and her gaze roamed up and down the blonde before her, "oh, I definitely still want to see you," she purred, her tone full of suggestion.

When Tandy noticed the smile Cessily had, her heart skipped a beat, not expecting the warmth and sincerity that came with it. The smiles she had seen were usually flirtatious or cocky, but this one was different. It brought butterflies to her stomach and told her that it was possible this wasn’t purely physical for either of them. She took in the way she shifted her stance as her eyes moved down her body, realizing that she hadn’t been as subtle as she could have been. An amused smile spread on their lips at what she spoke after promising to be on her best behavior. She wouldn’t at all mind if she ended up breaking that promise. Her smirk was enticing, beckoning the blonde closer. She had trouble staying put and remembering that they needed to talk and lay everything out on the table, first, before they did anything of that sort literally. Her eyelashes batted at her wink, smiling timidly and nodding. As she finished her babbling mess of an apology, she was surprised at the silver woman shaking her head. It was odd to be told she had nothing to apologize for, since she believed more often than not she was at fault and needed to say sorry. “You didn’t push, really…I mean, kinda, but I liked it.” A snort came from them. “I didn’t freak out sooner cause I forgot anyone else existed but you during those few seconds,” they admitted to her. At her question and the quick glance to their lips, their blush was reignited. “Not by a girl, no. I didn’t really care when boys told me.” They didn’t enjoy kissing boys, which made them not all that flattered if they told them that they were a good kisser. With Cessily, the compliment meant a lot and was hard to believe because of how well she kissed. They didn’t think they were anywhere as good as her. Her laugh was nice to hear and infectious, bringing a fit of giggles to them as well. “No need to apologize…I like that you’re not very good at it,” they confessed, running their tongue slowly over their lips while their gazes were locked. Nodding at what she asked, they realized they were technically admitting they had powers. “It got to all of us, huh? I wouldn’t have even been able to touch you, if I had come over during this,” they explained, smiling softly at her as she admired her hand. The return of her smirk deepened the heat in their face and rest of their body, especially with her eyes wandering over them again. “I’d like to see you, too.” They took a step toward Cessily, letting their eyes drift over her once more. “And for you to see me.”

Cessily found she couldn't keep her eyes off the beautiful blonde before her, her silvery gaze roamed constantly and she didn't bother to try and hide the glances to Tandy's lips. Her own glistening lips curled into another smirk as Tandy confessed to liking the way she had pushed. "Well if you like it," she purred, "maybe I should do it more." The smirk remained at the other's words and the silver girl advanced slowly on Tandy as she spoke, "well gorgeous, nobody else exists here and now," she stopped moving once she was within touching distance and resisted the very strong urge to pull the blonde closer. Her silver eyes rolled and she sighed dramatically, "urgh, boys. What do they know?" Whilst the silver girl had had plenty of fun encounters with boys she always found herself pulled back to girls, which she definitely preferred. Her silver eyes met Tandy's once again in a deep, hungry gaze and her flirtatious purr matched her intense gaze. "Oh you like me being a bad girl? Careful gorgeous, I could be a very bad influence." A tiny voice in the back of her mind reminded her that this was new to the blonde and her gaze softened. Placing a gleaming silver finger on Tandy's chin she raised the other's gaze to meet hers once more and her voice was soft and soothing as she spoke. "We'll go at your pace, gorgeous. Each new thing we'll do when you want and if you don't like something tell me right away, we'll stop and go back to something you do like. How does that sound?" She wanted to make sure Tandy knew she wouldn't be forced into anything and there would be absolutely no repercussions for not liking something. Cessily knew not everyone liked everything and some of the silver girls more risky kinks might be too much for Tandy. "No touching?" Her smirk fully back in place, "there's definitely no fun in that," she winked but didn't push for further details regarding what she had lost during the switch. Cessily knew it hadn't just been super powered beings that had been affected by the ability switch and while she was intrigued by Tandy potentially being gifted she had far more pressing matters to attend to, especially as Tandy's gaze was roaming over her and the blonde had reduced the gap between them even more. "You've already seen me once gorgeous," she teased and reached forward to take their hands in her own. She guided Tandy's hands to her hips and slipped them beneath her top so she could feel the warm touch on her cold, smooth skin. Her intense silver eyes were looking deeply into Tandy's once again. "Why don't you help me out of this thing so you can have a proper look?"

Tandy was growing familiar to the sensation of being under Cessily’s gaze, hoping it would never leave them. They felt special to draw the attention of her eyes, like the seemingly hungry look in her eyes for them was exclusive to them. Logically, they knew that couldn’t be true, especially because of how skilled of a kisser she was. That didn’t happen without experience. But at that moment, logic wasn’t all that important to the blonde, and all they could care about was that Cessily wanted them. Her purr widened the smile on their lips. “As long as you’re there to catch me if I fall,” they teased softly, knowing it was a cheesy line. A hiccup in their heartbeat occurred as she came closer, encouraging them to take a step forward. There was an impulsive pull in their chest to touch her, craving the contact and forgetting about ever keeping distance between each other’s bodies. The roll of her eyes and comment about boys evoked a giggle from Tandy, nodding in agreement. “Not a lot, at least the ones I was with didn’t,” they told her. Boys didn’t even create a quarter of the pleasure and desire out of them like Cessily did. “What if I want that influence to rub off on me?” They let out a breath of relief at hearing her say they’d go at their pace, wondering how they were lucky enough to find someone so understanding about their situation. “That sounds good,” she answered, giving her a grateful look. When the smirk returned to her lips, a tremble ran down their back. “No, there isn’t,” she agreed, eyes dropping to the silver mouth. It was better that she stayed away because she was sure that if she had tried to meet up with Cessily then, she wouldn’t be able to stop herself from giving into the allure of her. Lips curling into a shy smile at her teasing, she couldn’t help but hold her breath as her hands were taken by the other’s. Her stare left the silver eyes for a second to glance at where her hands were being placed, sucking in a sharp breath at the brush of her warm hands against the cool, refined skin of her waist. She brought her gaze back to the face in front of her, pulse hitting her wrist at a rapid pace. Unable to trust her own voice, she decided to respond to her question by leaning closer, head tilting slightly to not bump their noses together. A lock of blonde hair fell to the side of her face as a result and was left ignored by her. Her eyes closed as she slipped her lips into Cessily’s, satisfying the tug in them to finally be reaquainted with the mesmerizing silver mouth.

Cessily could feel her excitement rising more and more as the distance between them lessened and the teasing just increased the desire she felt towards the other girl. She hoped her looks and actions were conveying the right messages and judging by Tandy’s reaction they were, and the blonde was liking them - which thrilled Cessily. A soft chuckle left the silver girl as the cheesy line was said, it sounded like the sort of thing she normally came out with, but a playful silvery grin covered her features after the laugh. “If I catch you gorgeous, I might not want to let go. Then you’ll be stuck with me.” Clearly it was her turn to deliver the cheesy line, but that was perfectly normal for Cessily. The urge to touch or to kiss Tandy was growing stronger and Cessily wasn’t sure how long her resistance would prevail, or even if she wanted it to. This wasn’t like her usual encounters and she couldn’t help feeling like maybe there was something more between the pair, something they could explore once they’d gotten used to each other a little more. Cessily’s mind was racing with the possibilities and she forced herself back to the here and now, not wanting to get ahead of herself. Grinning widely she quipped, “it’s a flaw in their genetic makeup I’m sure. Being born with balls means you have to think with them all the time.” The line was sort of stolen from a film, but Cessily liked it and had used it on several occasions before. Her grin returned at the blonde’s retort about being a bad influence and the silver girl found herself in the very unusual position of not having an instant reply, it only took a heartbeat for her to think of one though. “I hope it’s not just my influence that you want rubbed off on you.” she purred, adding a clear suggestion to her tone. The grateful look Cessily received caused a soft, warm and encouraging smile to be flashed Tandy’s way, having the agreement and understanding in place made Cessily feel far less like some kind of predator - which she normally was - but this was different, and she liked it. Her silver smile remained as Tandy’s gaze wandered and she made no move to rush the blonde but when their eyes met once again the silver girl felt a surge of electric-like excitement flow over her entire shimmering body and she knew exactly what would happen next. She was leaning in towards the blonde, closing the gap between them and Tandy’s slightly tilt of her head meant she didn’t have to. Her eyes fluttered closed just before their lips touched and Cessily held her breath as soft, warm lips touched her own smooth silver ones, gliding over each other effortlessly. Cessily leaned in further, increasing the pressure on their locked together lips. The intoxicating smell and taste of the blonde were both new and familiar which caused a hunger for more to rise inside Cessily. She resisted, instead deciding to tease with a playful poke of her glimmering silver tongue to gauge Tandy’s reaction, going at the pace the blonde set,as she had promised. A silver hand rose to the small of Tandy’s back and pulled the pair together, their bodies pressed together while their lips danced across one anothers.

It a unique talent Cessily held that she could deliver a cheesy line in return to Tandy’s, and have it sound suave. “That doesn’t seem so bad. To be stuck with you,” she mused. The sensation of her hands on her body and mouth on hers at the pool was easily replayed in her mind, and how she repeated in her mind how she wished for it to never end. Something about her kisses gave the blonde a sense of urgency, that it could somehow be the last kiss they would ever share and she had to make it count. She wasn’t used to the excitement and passion felt romantically like this, and she didn’t want to give it up anytime soon. She didn’t want to give up Cessily anytime soon was what she realized. It was a matter of how much the other agreed with her on that. She snorted at the silver girl’s joke, shaking her head in amusement. There was a pause for a second before she replied to her comment about wanting some of her bad influence, which did surprise and give her a surge of pride at being able to have that effect. But her pride barely had time to fade as she went speechless at her purr, warmth resurfacing on her cheeks. Actions spoke louder than whatever words she could have strung together however. Their answer was their lips against hers and how a soft sigh of relief came from them at the kiss being returned. They mirrored the added pressure and encouraged them to press themselves closer to her body. Their thumbs dug lightly into her waist at the feeling of her tongue teasing their lips. Opening their mouth slightly, in case that wasn’t where the redhead had been heading, they swiped their tongue across her upper lip, shivering at the contrasting textures. Her hand moving to the small of their back had them whining quietly, enjoying how the chill of her fingers penetrated even through their hoodie and shirt. They wished to remove the layers to genuinely know the feeling of their bare skin against hers. It was a thought that Tandy hadn’t allowed to come to the front of their mind before, but Cessily was drawing them out without knowing it. They silently thanked the world for her mutant power being something that was not telepathy. They were pretty sure she wasn’t a telepath. Later, they would ask her to make sure. Until then, their attention was on slowly moving a hand up right to where they felt their bra strap was, then dragging their fingers down, wanting to explore the expanse of her body.

Cessily flashed her biggest silver smirk yet. Though she would never admit it, she was thrilled to hear Tandy say that being stuck with her wouldn’t be so bad. Normally her encounters ended up with people leaving in a hurry with tense lines like ‘this never happened’ being delivered on the way out - which was ok with Cessily normally but she had now come to expect it. The fact that wouldn’t happen this time was further proof that she was onto a good thing and she wouldn’t be letting it go any time soon. It also helped that Tandy laughed at her incredibly lame jokes, rather than the usual rolling of the eyes she received. The sigh of relief she detected spurred her on, the knowledge that Tandy had wanted this as much as she had cemented the idea in her mind that she was doing the right thing and she stopped holding back. With their bodies pressed tightly together the silver girl shifted her stance slightly to make their bodies rub along one another. It wasn’t as effective with the clothing they were both wearing, but she hoped that wouldn’t last much longer as she longed to see more of the beautiful blonde. The feeling of warm thumbs digging gently into her smooth silver skin as well as the warm tongue caressing her cold shimmering lips caused a pleasure filled “mmmm” to be released. With her free hand Cessily curled her shiny silver fingers into the blonde ponytail and pulled gently, guiding Tandy’s head back slightly. As soon as she was able Cessily started kissing around Tandy’s neck, her smooth lips gliding gently over the soft skin and making sure to touch the most sensitive areas. She felt the warm caress of a hand exploring along her back and mirrored the manoeuvre with her own, reaching under Tandy’s clothing she hoped her cold touch wouldn’t be too off putting, but she also knew her metallic body would absorb and store heat so she wouldn’t stay cold for long. Once her lips had completely explored Tandy’s neck she decided to repeat a move she had previously done at the swimming pool and gently nibbled on the other’s ear before whispering in her most seductive tone, “I think we’re both overdressed, don’t you?”

Tandy was glad Cessily wasn’t offput by their admission of not minding being stuck with her, since it could seem like they were inviting more to happen between them already. They did want that, but they couldn’t be sure she’d want that, too. The conversation evidently wasn’t going to happen at that very moment, so they let their mind drift off it. Rarely did they live in the present and didn’t worry about the future, however anything that might happen after this was far from their thoughts as their lips linked and easily moved against the other’s. They gasped at Cessily repositioning their bodies to press closer together, groaning almost inaudibly. Her reaction to their thumbs stroking her skin was thrilling, and they basked in the exhilaration for only a few seconds. They were soon sidetracked because of the silver woman pulling their head back by their hair, wondering why she had done it before her lips answered the question. The cool, slightly damp mouth against the skin of their neck elicited an “ohhhh” of bliss, and their eyes went back to being closed after opening out of confusion. Their body quivered and they whined at her discovering more tender areas, arching their neck out even further to help. A “mmmmm” came as a result of her chilled hands mirroring the fondling to their back that they had done to her, leaning into the touch eagerly. They wanted to feel that smooth graze of her fingertips across their whole body, desperately. They whimpered in surprise and excitement after her teeth teased their earlobe, a replay of a gesture she had done the first time they had met. Her whisper effortlessly lured Tandy in. “I think you’re right,” she replied softly, fluttering her eyelashes towards Cessily. As reluctant as she was to let go of her, she did it and took a small step back to show how much she agreed with her remark. Her cheeks were more heated than the rest of the times she had gone red since being there. She bit her bottom lip, then slowly began to take off her hoodie, which turned out to be less simple than she expected it to. Her shirt got caught with it and she decided instead of continuing to struggle, she’d take off both. Rip off the bandaid. She pulled them both off and half heartedly threw them behind her on the floor, staring at Cessily with wide eyes. It wasn’t as if she had never been in just a bra and pants with another girl; she had been but never like this.

Fade to black

Cessily could feel the heat still radiating from her metallic body, she still wasn’t sure exactly how it worked but it seemed to be able to absorb heat from other objects, or bodies, and store it for a longer period of time than a normal body, releasing it slowly once the heat stopped being generated. Her encounter with Tandy had lead to a lot of heat being made between them so she would be warm to touch for a while. The blonde’s head was rested gently on her silver chest and she wondered for a moment if they were listening to her elevated heartbeat, which was all their fault. Her glistening silver fingers glided gently through blonde hair, now tousled and messy after being pulled from it’s ponytail shortly after clothing had started being removed. The silver girl couldn’t stop the grin spreading across her features as she saw a red glow coming from Tandy’s face being reflected in her shiny digits, she hoped it was a sign of a job well done, she had certainly enjoyed it. “Well gorgeous,” she purred softly, “ready for round two?”

Tandy could hear only a pounding in their ears--they weren’t sure if it was their heartbeat or Cessily’s--as both of them came down. Their breathing was beginning to return to a steady pace, unlike their face, body heat, and mind. They didn’t need a mirror to figure out their face was a pink verging on red by the lingering warmth in their cheeks. Their body wasn’t cooling down much, since all their nerves were aware of the person next to them. When it came to their head, they were in a dizzying blissful state and thoughts elsewhere. Their focus was on the silver woman they were snuggling themselves into. They released a breath at the fingers through their hair, leaning up slightly into her touch. The feelings that buzzed through them were new and euphoric to the blonde. This must be what an afterglow was supposed to be like. Cessily’s purr opened Tandy’s eyes and they looked up at her lazily, finding themselves grinning back. “I’m still in a fog from round one,” they murmured to her, brushing their hand along their shoulder. “Made me forget my own name for a few seconds there,” they teased and paused for a moment. “Did I make you feel good? I know that was my first time with a girl--But I wanted you to be taken care of, too.”

Cessily was perfectly content laying there and cuddling up to Tandy, relishing the feeling of their bodies pressed together. Their breathing was perfectly matched and it was slowly returning to normal and the exhilarating tingle that rippled up and down her entire body was entirely Tandy's fault, which she loved. The blonde snuggled against her reacted to her gentle touches in such perfect ways that she found herself drifting into a much gentler and softer way of being compared to her usual gruff self. There were few people who saw her this way and she hoped Tandy wouldn't mind the change. The soft release of breath and lean from Tandy as her gleaming fingers glided through their hair made her do it again, just to get the same adorable reaction. Her silver lips split into a huge content smile as the blonde looked up at her, their eyes met and they simply gazed at each other for several long moments and then Tandy spoke, revealing the fog she was currently suffering from. "Me too," the silver girl said softly. Cessily chuckled softly at the blonde's comment and she couldn't resist a teasing reply. "Only a few seconds? Sounds like I'll have to do better next time." She listened to the blonde's questions and then placed a glistening silver finger under Tandy's chin, guiding them closer to her. Their lips met, gently this time, more a kiss of thanks than desire like their previous kisses had been. "You made me feel incredible, beautiful," she whispered softly once their lips had separated. Her use of 'beautiful' rather than her default 'gorgeous' was completely intentional. "You definitely took care of me, so I think you deserve a rest. How about we go for round two in the morning?" She didn't want to ask directly for Tandy to stay the night, but planting the idea meant they could make up their own mind and decide what to do. She hoped they would stay.

The comfort and safety Tandy felt enveloped in Cessily’s arms was something she never wanted to let go of. She was vaguely aware of how vulnerable, emotionally and physically, she was at that moment, and it didn’t send her into a panic. At some point, she would probably analyze how much she trusted the silver woman already, and whether it concerned her or not. Now was not that time. Her eyes fluttered closed for a moment and purr emitted from her lips while gazing at Cess, as her fingers repeated the caress to her hair. She opened them again once she heard her reveal she was in a similar state. Giggling at her latter reply, she swatted her shoulder playfully. “Always gotta challenge yourself, huh?” she quipped back. She didn’t resist her bringing her closer, closing her eyes as their mouths met once more. There was a difference to this kiss compared their other ones. It wasn’t a kiss for pleasure, but because Cess was kissing her. Once their lips had parted, she melted in both a metaphorical and literal sense at her words. Tandy could see the affection in the silver eyes, almost sure that this was the first time she had ever seen Cess as tender and soft as she was then. “I’m glad,” she whispered back. “I’m even more glad I finally decided to come over,” she hummed. Her implied suggestion of her staying over prompted the return of her grin. She answered by leaning in and kissing her. “I’d love that,” she murmured, bumping her nose against hers, before going back to her spot on Cess’ chest. “I just have to tell my roommate I’m staying over, so he doesn’t worry. Then, I’m all yours for the rest of the night and morning,” she mumbled, nestling up again. “Don’t wanna get up to get my phone, though, too comfortable.”

Though she would never admit it, Cessily loved cuddling, and as she was now learning, she particularly liked cuddling Tandy. The blonde’s smaller form pressing gently onto her silver body just felt right and perfect, especially after the intensity of what they had done just before. She laughed as her shoulder was hit playfully, she had definitely deserved that, but she wasn’t done being sassy yet either. “Always, gorgeous,” she replied, “gotta challenge you too though, I don’t think we were noisy enough to upset the neighbours so that’ll be the challenge for next time.” Cessily felt the change in Tandy as they became even more comfortable in her her arms after the gentle kiss and her silver arms gave them a small squeeze of appreciation. “Now you’ve done it once you know you can come over any time, you’re always welcome.” It was Cessily’s turn to melt into a kiss and she released a pleasure filled sigh once their lips had parted and then giggled as their noses bumped together. She grinned and could resist a playful reply. “Oh I hope you’re all mine for a lot longer than just the night and morning,” and her hand returned to gently stroking their blonde hair. “Maybe I can help with that too,” she said after the revelation that Tandy was too comfortable to move, she didn’t want her to move either so Cessily focused on her free hand and began to shift the shape of her arm, making it longer and thinner. She knew it would be hard work, but she also knew it would be worth it. Her hand had extended to the end of the bed and was now making it’s way onto the floor to explore the various items of clothing that had been discarded between the living room and the bedroom. She found a bra and two pairs of panties before finally stumbling across something that felt like a phone. She grabbed it and focused on returning her arm to normal, bringing the phone up to Tandy as she did so. Her arm ached as if it had just had an intense workout but she ignored that and grinned. “Ta daa,” she said grinning triumphantly as she presented the phone to Tandy.

Cuddling was usually a bit of an awkward affair for Tandy after having sex with a boy. Their first post-sex snuggling session was sweaty and uncomfortable, and they had the worst time falling asleep. It improved somewhat the more it happened, but the best time they had had with a guy cuddling was incomparable to this. They were struggling to stay awake against Cessily’s chest because of how relaxed and cozy they felt. Their bodies fit together perfectly. They giggled at her saying they needed to be challenged, too, hiding their face against her skin for a moment. “I’ll work on not restraining myself, since I have the go ahead from you,” they responded in amusement. The light squeeze they were given elicited another soft sigh of content. “You’ll never be rid of me. I’ll be in your hair constantly, since I have an open invitation.” They would try not to abuse the privilege, despite how much they didn’t want to leave now that they were there. Her words were answered with a soft hum, adding softly, “I promise I’m all yours for however long you want me to be yours, Cess.” At her comment about being able to help with getting their phone, as well, they raised their eyebrows and ready to protest the silver woman leaving her bed. It turned out there was no need to anticipate it because she had a method that allowed her to stay beside them. Their eyes widened in surprise and awe as her arm extended and transformed before them, unable to speak until their phone was in front of them. They blinked then leaned forward and kissed Cessily eagerly, almost a bit rough, pulling away to tell them in a whisper, “That was fucking incredible.” They knew that Cessily had to have some sort of power, being silver and all, but wasn’t sure what it was. It was way cooler than anything they had tried to predict. “Thank you for getting it for me,” they added with a grin, taking their phone and texting Tyrone quickly. They were given a response in a minute, smiling his reply. “He said to have fun.” They put it on a side table next to the bed, settling down again. “So...since you showed me yours, can I show you mine?”

Cessily could feel Tandy fighting the urge to fall asleep and was attempting to hold back succumbing to sleep herself. She grinned as Tandy hid their face, finding it absolutely adorable and her silver fingers glided through blonde hair once more. "You never have to hold back with me gorgeous, go as wild as you like," she chuckled, "the wilder the better with me." The soft sigh from the blonde was encouraging and Cessily couldn't quite believe how comfortable they felt together. She was used to people leaving as quickly as possible after the main event. Having someone that wanted to stay was thrilling for her. "This will probably sound really pathetic, but I can't wait for you to be constantly in my hair. Most people run the first opportunity they get." Feeling she had overshared and wanting to build her flirtatious defences back up she added. "Of course I'd rather you were in my pants constantly than my hair, but I'll take whatever I can get." The comment from Tandy about being hers for as long as she wanted them caused a spike in the silver girls heart rate. Cessily wasn't good in relationships, all her previous ones had ended badly but she tried to push those thoughts aside. It was too early to be thinking about that so she would see how things go from here. The kiss she received for retrieving Tandy's phone was exhilarating, she particularly enjoyed the newfound roughness and taking their lead she bit down gently on Tandy's lip as they pulled away. "Careful gorgeous," she purred, "keep that up and you'll get me all worked up again." Admittedly it didn't take much to get her worked up but Tandy seemed to know exactly what buttons to press to get her going. As the stunning blonde sent their message Cessily simply gazed at her, completely transfixed and then her silvery lips split into a grin. "Oh we will," she said with a wink. At Tandy's question about showing her something Cessily's eyebrows raised right into her hairline. Was it possible Tandy had powers too, or was she just teasing? "And here was me thinking I'd seen all of you already," she purred playfully, "show away gorgeous, you have my full attention." Of course Tandy had had her full attention since the moment they knocked on her door but it didn't hurt to say it.

A delighted hum buzzed from Tandy at the hair touch, and knew that Cessily probably wouldn’t forget it was a sweet spot for her. She couldn’t her grin in response to her comment about never needing to hold back. She was sure that her wildest would be considered vanilla to the other, but she was always eager to go outside the box. Her heartbeat hiccuped when she heard what the woman said next, face warming for an entirely new reason. ““It doesn’t sound pathetic, it’s sweet,” she murmured, grazing her knuckles over her arm. “I don’t think those people are very smart, though.” She snorted. “I can do both, I’m a great multitasker.” Batting her eyelashes at Cess again, she giggled after, not being able to keep up the flirty expression. She whined softly as her lip was bitten down on once they parted. Unable to help herself, she pressed her body closer. “Can’t blame a person for trying.” Her wink was received with an eye roll, amused rather than annoyed, though. She licked her lips as she got the answer that she had her full attention. What if somehow her powers didn’t come through and she looked like a liar or like she was mocking people with powers? Those doubts were partly put to rest as she pulled her hands out from under the covers, seeing a faint glow already. Giving the silver woman a nervous smile before she took a deep breath, she was calming her mind and focusing, as Jubilee had told that first time. She closed her eyes, and let the sensation of her own happiness and the feeling of Cess beside her fill herself. Within a few seconds, two blue spheres drew from her palms. She opened her eyes, evidently surprised it had worked, and let it stay, then dropping them down to her body again. She glanced over at Cess, biting her bottom lip. “Not as cool as yours, but...I can also break lights, like make them explode.”

Hearing the happy hum from Tandy at the soft touch on her hair meant the motion was locked in Cessily’s memory forever, to be used as often as she could. She grinned and said a quiet thanks at the supportive words, unsure of how to respond as she wasn't used to opening up as much as she had. She recovered quickly and her flirtatious purr was firmly back in place when she next spoke. “Oh you've already proved you can multitask beautiful, I'm very impressed with the results.” Cessily loved the adorable eye fluttering and whine as she bit Tandy’s lip, she intended to have a lot of fun with the beautiful blonde. She watched completely transfixed as Tandy demonstrated her powers, her heartbeat increasing with excitement as she watched. Now she understood why Tandy hadn't been phased by her mutant status. She grinned and chuckled excitedly. “That is incredible and it's definitely cooler than mine.” She rolled over on top of Tandy, her shiny hands pinning the blonde’s wrists down on the bed. “You've got me all worked up again gorgeous, and I have a new challenge to turn you on so much your powers activate.” With a final smirk she leaned in and pressed her lips hungrily on Tandy’s, tongue immediately moving to explore their mouth as her hands glided over their warm soft skin.
