Stein stood under the spray of the shower, wondering if he had really just finished the project, and whether he had really broadcast the moment of his triumph to the community.
And whether Vanessa really was coming over.
He didn't spare much time wondering why.
Marie had been packed off elsewhere when he started the project some... well, apparently a week ago now. He didn't think about her, either. Or Kid, or anyone who might be worried about him. Instead he dried off, dressed again, and went back to his lab to scrub the blood off the floor. He'd hear the doorbell if someone rang it.

He pulled her head around and kissed her soundly, tasting his own fluids and thrusting his tongue into her mouth forcefully. He was still catching his breath as he kissed her, holding her tight as if afraid she'd try to get away.

Or maybe he was just really fucking curious.
She barely managed to pull her mouth away, exhaling a deep, rattled breath. "Well...uhm...never had that reaction before...kinda...different."

He drew away as she pulled back, still trying to catch his breath. "Did I do something weird?" he asked with faint chagrin, trying to gather himself to stand up again. The floor of the bathroom wasn't exactly where he wanted to have a chat.

Date: 2009-06-17 12:51 pm (UTC)"No, I mean," she didn't know how to say it. "I'm not...I've never had a guy kiss me with his spunk still in my mouth. That's all. I mean...unless you have tasted your own semen before...or someone else's...isn't that, I don't know...a little gross to you?"
She stood up after a moment, running her hands over his muscled arms. "I'm...just. It was...different. I'm not used to it. I'm used to a lot of things, just not that. It's kinda like...you...care or something?" she ventured, struggling to find the words. "Which is...you barely know me, so I don't see how that's...but if you do, that's great! I mean, really. I appreciate it."

Date: 2009-06-17 08:21 pm (UTC)The naivete was a little staggering. More than a little.
"You'd have to look far and wide to find something I found gross," he said, giving her a wry smile. "It didn't mean anything. I just wanted to kiss you."
He slipped his arm around her waist to lead her to the door. As far as he was concerned, that was that.

no subject
Date: 2009-06-17 09:03 pm (UTC)Maybe because she was a woman. He and Spirit had never discussed anything, and that had suited him greatly at the time.
He glanced down at the bed. "It might still hit you," he said, releasing her and bending to strip the bed. "Though it probably looks worse than it is. It was a deep cut, but not long." The fresh sheets were in the closet and he crossed to get them, leaving the bloody ones in a heap in the corner to be cleaned or disposed of later. The mattress did have old blood stains that had been covered by the sheets, and now it had a new one.

Date: 2009-06-17 09:48 pm (UTC)"It sounds like a good night," he allowed, ignoring the monsters he saw creeping in on the edges of his vision. Creeping, three-eyed creatures with flashing claws and cackling laughs. He knew they weren't real. Probably.
He lay there, eyes open, breathing as evenly as if he were deeply sleeping, waiting and watching her fall asleep. He didn't feel remotely tired, though he knew he should be after all the time he hadn't slept. Perhaps when she was asleep he'd go look at Medusa's body, see if there was anything more he could do to improve it.

Date: 2009-06-17 10:02 pm (UTC)"No, thanks," he said. He hadn't meant to let her know that he wasn't tired. Deliberately, he ducked his head down and rested it against her shoulder, closing his eyes. He doubted he'd fall asleep, but perhaps it would allay her concerns so she'd fall asleep faster.
"Go to sleep," he murmured gently. "Or I might have you sedated." He was joking at the last, mostly.
