~a girl of flowing air~

Maybe the grin on Billy’s face was a little too giddy when she gave him that quicker, follow-up kiss, but he couldn’t help it—he was happy and wasn’t going to hesitate to show her that. "Well, good, ‘cause I got plenty a’ it, dontchu worry—‘specially for someone I like a lot, sooo…" Smooth. So casual. Well, it was true.

That made her laugh harder, the sound echoing into the elevator. "Alright, good to know. I'll keep the credit card deep in my purse." No, she wouldn't, not forever; it was stupid to have this much money and not pay for things, but a first date? A guy can handle the first date.

LIKE this post if you'd like to plot an action thread with me! Could be training/sparring or a villain they're responding to, a natural disaster, a cat stuck in a tree- the world is our oyster!

For a long moment, Jack doesn't think about anything except the feeling of Ally's hands curled around the straps of his vest and the quiet certainty with which she kisses him back. The hangar has emptied around them sometime in the last few minutes, the last of the maintenance crew disappearing behind the closed bay doors until the only sounds left are the distant hum of machinery and the slow rhythm of their breathing. When they finally separate, he doesn't move far, his forehead resting lightly against hers as a slow, almost disbelieving smile spreads across his face.

"Assaulted? Oh, that's cold, Abbot." She is laughing, though, and her forehead stays touching his, hands still holding the straps. She only moves away when he does, following in looking around. The area had cleared out, thank god, but that also meant the last few crewmen would probably have seen and would probably be talking. Gossip loves a good workplace.

Despite what she was feeling, Kate sinks into the hug like it's the only thing keeping her upright. Her hands go up under Ally's arms and cling to the back of her jacket, pulling her even closer in.

Ally holds her girlfriend close, air currents adding extra pressure that her arms alone couldn't. "It's okay to be scared. What scared you?" There is an instinct to lean back and search for her face, but maybe it's easier for her to say these things not looking eye to eye? Ally doesn't want the vulnerability to stop, so she stays where they stand, one hand starting to move gently up and down Kate's back.
