"It's so weird. Disembodied and metal. Like something out of Terminator."
Who: Kitty and Xi'an
What: They wake up to a surprise
When: Last night
Where: their apartment
Status: Complete
Rating: PG-13 for surprise robotic legs and Kitty being frisky.
There had been bits and pieces of a dream. The world was wrong. She had proof. She had pictures. But when Kitty woke it had faded. She rubbed at her face, and rolled over, slipping her arm around Xi'an's waist and nuzzling her shoulder. She was being clingier than a virgin and she didn't care. She could touch Xi'an, smell her, and taste her. She couldn't wait to surprise her with the betrothal gifts.
Lightly, Kitty trailed her fingers down Xi'an's side, and then stroked at her ribs. To remind herself they could really touch.
Xi’an smiled and stroked Kitty’s hair. If she could get away with not leaving the bed for a week, she’d stay right where she was for the whole week. It was such a relief to have Kitty back and whole and where she belonged. She wrapped her arm around Kitty and sighed contentedly.
Kitty let out a gentle purr at the hair stroking. Her hand slid down Xi'an's stomach in response and she nibbled at her lover's shoulder. Hair stroking was a sure-fire way of turning Kitty into silly putty.
"Mmmmm...mm..orning..."
“Morning,” Xi’an said. “Sleep well?” She smiled and kissed Kitty’s forehead.
"I dreamed about..something, but it's kinda foggy," Kitty replied, her fingers trailing suggestive circles on Xi'an's thigh. She shifted closer, trying to have no space between their bodies. Xi'an tended to make everything foggy for her, especially like this. She loved it, "How 'bout you?"
“Dreamed about a robotic leg. I was promised it would be sexy.” Xi’an laughed. “It wasn’t quite as advertised.”
"I'm not sure how a robotic leg could be sexy. Maybe if it's sleek." She kissed Xi'an's shoulder again, stopping her fingers from moving, but keeping them where they were, "I remember seeing you come in, like that. I dreamed while I was ghostly....There was so much blood."
Xi’an took a deep breath. “Yeah...I imagine that there was a lot of blood. I’m sorry you had to see that.” She took a deep breath and rubbed her eyes. “I suppose it was pretty good tech, at least.”
"I should have..." Kitty trailed off. Should have what? They weren't a couple there. She'd been seeing Piotr. She shook her head and rolled on top of Xi'an, straddling her, and cupping her face, "Never mind. I have you now and I'm not letting go."
She grinned up at Kitty, cupping her hands over the younger woman’s. “And there aren’t enough words for how happy that makes me.” Xi’an ran her hands up and down Kitty’s arms. “It’s so good to have you back.”
Giggling, Kitty leaned down and kissed her. She shifted a bit, and her leg hit something. The something fell over and landed on the ground with a heavy thudding sound. Kitty twitched. To look or just keep kissing?
Xi’an shifted to roll over and look off the edge of the bed. Was that...? She stared. “Kitty...that robotic leg...is on our floor...” That was very unexpected.
"Oh." Sexy fun times interrupted! Kitty slipped off of Xi'an, and crawled out of bed, turning on the light. It glinted off the polished metal of Xi'an's mechanical leg. Kitty wasn't sure if she should be cautiously optimistic or a bit worried. She settled on somewhere in between, "Well, my costume and the computer kind of appeared one day...remember?"
Xi’an nodded, eyeing the leg. “Yeah, I remember that...” She wasn’t sure how she felt about it being here. She didn’t know how well it had worked in the dream world. It also had seemed...rather permanent. She wasn’t sure if any part of it would be removable. Or even how it would work in this world. “Wow...”
Kitty sat on the edge of the bed, lifting the leg up and propping it against the end table. It was beyond complex looking, "We'd need Moira AND Tony on this one, I think. Or someone of equal skill." The logistics of attaching it so it would actually react and mingle with Xi'an's nervous system were mind boggling. She took Xi'an's hand and squeezed it, "You might be able to walk again, Xi'an! Without hobbling around!"
She squeezed Kitty’s hand back and took a deep breath. “I don’t know anything about how it worked after it was put on. I remember it being attached, but...that’s it. A permanent prosthetic...not just one that slips on and off...” She glanced at Kitty. It felt...weird, talking about this. “It’s...a big step. And I hardly know anything about the equipment...”
"Did it hurt? Could you..feel it?" Kitty's own excitement tempered a bit at Xi'an's reaction to it, "I'm more excited about this than you are, aren't I."
“I don’t really remember. And, yes,” Xi’an said. “You are a little more excited than I am. You mean well, I know, and I love you for that.”
She reached up and stroked Kitty’s cheek. “It’s a big step. If it’s a permanent attachment, it’s a permanent part of my life. Our life.”
Kitty nodded her head. She had been enthusiastic about it, because she thought that it might offer more freedom to them both, and the twins.
"It could have a bad side," She replied, leaning her cheek into Xi'an's palm. "I hadn't thought about that."
“We can still get people to try to learn more about it,” Xi’an said, leaning her forehead against Kitty’s.
"It's so weird. Disembodied and metal. Like something out of Terminator." It was cold too. It would be strange to sleep next to, "We'd have to get a leg cozie."
Kitty kissed her, softly.
Xi’an returned the kiss. The idea of a cold, robotic leg in bed was not exactly her idea of a great time. Would it mess up the bed? How would sleep work? Showering?
Sex? Kitty wondered how that would affect things, especially when she wanted to, well, put her sharp tongue to use. She worried at Xi'an's lip with her teeth, then hugged her tight, "Whatever you need you know I'll support you."
“That means a lot to me.” Xi’an hugged Kitty back tightly and sighed. She’d figure out how she felt about this once they knew more about it. If that was even possible. “I love you, Kitty.”
"I love you too." She loved saying it more than she loved hearing it. It never grew old. Kitty tugged Xi'an back down into the bed, "That leg was really cold. Let me warm you up."
