Who: Jean Grey and Paige Guthrie
Where: Shopping district
When: Thursday morning
Rating: Likely low


"So... what kind of clothes should we be looking for?" Jean asked, looking over at the young blonde she was accompanying. Paige had just arrived here (from... the past? Or a weird alternate present? Jean had to grumble at how confusing this all could be at times), and obviously needed things to wear other than the outfit she wore when she arrived. So, being her helpful self, the young telepath eagerly offered to show Paige around the shopping district, and help get her some new clothing. "I mean, are we looking for jeans, skirts, dresses, all of the above..."

Paige was flipping through the racks. She liked shopping, like pretty much every teenage girl, she just didn't get a lot of chances to actually do it. Growing up in the Kentucky countryside had meant most shopping was accomplished once or twice a year at most. Back-to-school being the usual certainty. And with ten kids, options were limited.

"All of the above, I guess?" She shrugged, smile widening as she looked up at Jean. "But start with jeans and shirts." Practical clothing. "Unless you see a dress that is too good to ignore."

"Well, in all fairness, there's really not much you're gonna look BAD in." Jean told her with a giggle, holding out a pair of light-blue, low-riding jeans. "These would look fantastic on you, I bet." She told the other girl, glad to have a fellow teenage mutant to hang out with up here.

"So, how are you getting along so far up here? Any issues or concerns?"

"Not as good as you," Paige returned, with a shake of her head. She was just an all-American girl through and through. Jean had something else about her. And the red hair made her just a touch exotic. It was something Paige could never aspire to. But she took the jeans, grabbing a few shirts as she moved along the rack.

"I'm doing well enough." That she couldn't stop smiling was very well evident. As was what caused that smile, if her next statement was anything to go by. "Actually, someone from Massachusetts showed up. Jono."

Awww. Jean quickly noted that smile AND the timing of it. "Annnnd, this is someone you're close to, I'm guessing?" The redhead asked with a sweet lilt to her voice, holding a short black dress up to herself as she looked at a nearby mirror. Oh yeah... this one would knock the breath right OUT of Peter.

"It's nice that you at least have someone here you like. It definitely makes things easier."

"We don't really know each other all that well," Paige demurred. "Or didn't, I guess." They were working on the getting to know each other part.

"But yeah...it's nice having someone here that you know you can count on."

"Sometimes... you just have to live for the moment, you know?" Jean told her, deciding that she'd definitely have to buy this to drive Peter crazy with later. "I mean... especially now, who knows what tomorrow will bring? So live each day to it's fullest."

Jean turned and gave the blonde a sweet smile, feeling a sense of relief come over her as she realized that this was the first time she'd felt really... HAPPY hanging out with a new friend since back when Jill vanished on her.

"I think you and I are going to get along VERY well together."

"I don't think that's really a problem." Especially given that they'd kissed after barely ten minutes here...and hadn't taken any awkward steps back since then.

"You think?" Paige couldn't help but beam back at Jean. "Good." She liked the thought of having a real friend there.

"I really do." Jean told her, her voice lowering and taking on a slightly sad tone. "I have a lot of people here I consider friends, but... I really only had one friend that I was really bonded to. She got sent home very suddenly, and just... I haven't let myself get that close to anyone since. I mean, I didnt even get to say goodbye, or tell her how much she meant to me, you know?"

Paige took a few steps closer, one arm winding around Jean's waist in a side hug. "If you were that good of friends, I'm sure she knew," she assured her. "Just like I'm sure you meant a lot to her."

"I hope so. We had this really... intense connection, you know?" Jean began realizing Peter was one of the only people she'd ever really confided in about this. "She was a vampire, believe it or not. And she was starving and in a panic, so I offered her blood from my wrist. And just... wow. It started the weirdest bond. We were best friends, almost sisters... and yet I admit there was a really intense attraction there too, at least on my part. I think it came from the feeding, because I'm allll about the boys typically."

"Good to know," Paige half giggled at that. About Jean being all about the boys, she meant. But the whole story was a bit crazy. "You told me people from Harry Potter were here...vampires doesn't seem so weird to me."

"Ok, so... you have a pretty valid point there." Jean admitted, stifling a laugh with her hand, before placing the dress she'd been looking at into the shopping basket she carried. "So.. tell me a little about yourself! What kind of interests do you have? Besides handsome classmates, I mean."

Oh, what a cheeky grin Jean gave when she said that, too!

Paige's cheeks flared red. "Not all handsome classmates," she objected. Just the one. "And the accent helps, too." That was out before she could catch herself.

"Umm...I've always got my nose in a book. I like computers, I try to go for runs every day...didn't really have time for much else. I'm the oldest girl with 9 siblings so..." Between younger brothers and sisters and school, there wasn't a ton of free time in the day.

"I'm a big reader myself." Jean said with a nod. "And there's a few ladies here that go for runs together in the park. You should talk to them. Alex Udinov is one of the constants. She's quiet, but really nice." Bless her, Jean was sweet enough to not tease when she saw that blush. God knew Peter had that same effect on HER after all.

"Sounds like you have a really huge family... that's gotta be great, to have that kind of companionship."

"I'll have to reach out to her," Paige nodded. "Do they run early? I like to go around dawn, see the world wake up with me." It was nice. It was also nice that Jean wasn't pushing things.

"Very big," she grinned. "Only one older than me is Sam and I adore him. Wanted to be just like him growing up. I think I got on his nerves more often than not."

"You should. I know they go around dawn because I've seen them out there when I'm on my way to the hospital." Jean said, before making a face and waving that off. "Not that I'm sick or anything.... lord I made that sound bad. I volunteer at the hospital up here. Help with basic patient care, replenishing supplies, helping the receptionist, stuff like that."

"That sounds like a neat way to spend your free time," Paige offered. "I'll have to find some kind of job or hobby. I can't sit around doing nothing." Then Sam would tease her for getting soft.

"Any recommendations?"

"Well, we could always use more help at the hospital if that's something you're interested in." Jean told her, thinking that it would be fantastic to have a friend to work with. "It's technically volunteer work, but they still make sure we get paid, so... you'd have some money to live on while you're here. Two of the ladies here are opening a bookstore soon as well, so I know they're going to be hiring some people... There's all kinds of different jobs around here."

"I'm not sure about volunteering at the hospital," Paige hedged. "It's not the blood or anything I just...don't know anything about it. Maybe the bookstore, though... I'll keep my eyes open."

Her eyes fell on a short blue dress, holding it up. "What do you think?"

2015-09-11 04:25 pm UTC (link)
Jean felt her eyebrows go up at the choice of outfit, then burst out laughing. "I think that if you get that, you need to be prepared for your guy to not let you leave home ALL WEEKEND, if you know what I mean."

Hey, she could tease... it wasn't like she wasn't picking HER dress with the exact same outcome in mind!

"Hey!" Paige was protesting immediately. "We're not even to that point yet!" They hadn't gotten beyond a few light make-out sessions. But...Jean had a point...

"I'm going to go try it on," she advised, nose wrinkling. Might as well at least see what it looked like.

"Oh, you know I'm just teasing..." Jean giggled, crossing her arms as her new friend shuffled over to the fitting room. "If you like it, I'd be glad to front you the money for it... you can just pay me back whenever, once you've had a chance to earn a little."

"Thanks, Paige called out from the dressing room. "We'll see what you think first, though. I want to make sure it's a dress I can't live without before I go borrowing money from new friends."

A few seconds later she emerged, in a short blue dress that clung to her curves. Casual enough that she thought she could probably dress it down, or up, as the occasion called for it.

"What do you think?"

Jean felt an eyebrow rise as she took in the blonde. Well DAMN. Who knew she'd been hiding THAT figure under the modest, toyboyish clothes, hm?

"I... think it's a good thing I'm so over the moon for Peter right now, or else that dress would make me question my straightness." Again. But shh.

Then, ANOTHER voice chimed in, seemingly out of nowhere: "I've gotta go with Red on this one, love. You look... just..." Jono stood there, blinking in disbelief, having seen the two inside as he walked past the store. "Bloody HELL. You look absolutely sexy."

"Really?" A nervous grin spread at Jean's words, though she looked startled at the next voice.

"Jono!" Paige had definitely not expected to see the Brit there. If she had, she more than likely would not have come out of the dressing room. As it was she could only blush. The red cheeks came in no small part from Jean's words, and Jono's reaction.

"You like it that much? ...both of you, I mean." Paige didn't tend toward the sexy, it didn't really serve a purpose on the farm. But here...

Jean didn't answer... other than to blush deeply. Which... pretty much meant she wasn't kidding. Jono, for his part, nodded EMPHATICALLY. "You... do NOT even want to know the thing that dress is making me think about right now." He chuckled, just being completely honest with her.

Jean looked from one of them to the other, then gave an ADORABLE grin. She loved seeing cuteness like this. "So, um... why don't I go and pay for our dresses, and YOU two lovebirds can go spend some time together?" The redhead asked, "Paige, we can always get together in the morning and have breakfast after you have your morning run..."

Paige's head ducked, sending a curtain of blonde hair over her shoulder. She knew she was completely red right then but she couldn't quite help it, either. Partially it was the thought that she could turn someone gay, especially a gorgeous girl like Jean. But it was also Jono and just seeing the effect she was having on him.

"...okay," she nodded, trying to not smile quite so broadly. Even if she didn't manage that. "I'll just go change. Thanks, Jean."

Jono watched as Jean waved to them both, then headed over to the counter to pay for both dresses. Satisfied that nobody would hear him, he decided to lean in and whisper to Paige:

"You know, love... if you fancy coming back to my place, there's nobody there, and I could show you some of the things I was thinking about..."

"Seems like you have some very specific things in mind," Paige answered, but she couldn't stop smiling, either. "Things that can't be done in public, sounds like."

She wasn't quite sure they were far enough in their relationship, if it could be called that, to go all the way but it was extremely flattering.

And Jono, well... he wasn't planning on "going all the way" with her quite yet (while it was no big deal to HIM, he knew she was far more innocent), but he certainly wanted to go further than mere kissing. What happens in an alternate world STAYS in an alternate world, right?

...right???

Anyway, he had to laugh at the last part of her statement. "Well... nothing that could be done in public unless you've got a wild streak in you that I never realized..." Hah! He winked, letting her know he was teasing.

"Not that wild of a streak," Paige shook her head, smile not fading. "So keep dreaming on that front." Could she be persuaded to do a bit more than kissing? Perhaps.

"We should wander, though. Maybe see where we end up?"

"As long as we're together, I'll be happy wherever we go, love. Wandering would be fine."

He meant it, too. For all his swagger, he really HAD crushed on her from a distance back home like some silly, lovestruck kid.

"All teasing aside... you really do look stunning in that dress. I'm a songwriter, and yet I was bloody well without words."

"Good," Paige nodded. "Wandering it is." She'd be happy to go pretty much anywhere with him.

"You like it that much?" She questioned. "Maybe I'll have to start wearing dresses more often. Especially if it has this big of an impact on you."

"God knows I've been picturing you OUT of them for long enough..." He laughed sweetly reaching down to squeeze her hand. "Go 'head then, pet. Get changed, and I'll be waiting right here."

She nudged him at that remark. Cheeky monkey.

She returned in a few minutes, in her normal tomboy clothes, hair a bit tousled, the dress over her arm. "We'll have to go out sometime. Give me a chance to get dressed up?" She liked the thought of that.

"I'd really like that." He said with a bright smile. He was still a little gobstopped that this girl seemed SO into him. "Chap named Wade is supposed to be getting me a guitar soon... maybe you'd be alright being serenaded?"

[info]kentuckyhayseed

"I don't think I've ever been serenaded before," she giggled. "I'd like that. A lot." Her hand stretched for his, fingers interlocking with his. They'd continue to talk as they wandered.

"But I just like spending time with you. I don't even need you to sing."

"I... like spending time with you too." He said, a bit sheepishly. This was a boy who wasn't used to talking about feelings, or being 'sweet'... he was typically angsty, poetic, maybe a little dark. He found some of the darkness melting away (as usual) when she held his hand. "A big part of me doesn't mind being stuck here, as long as I have you here."

"I think that is the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me," Paige answered, smiling up at him. She hadn't had boyfriends, not really, and even if she had Jono was a completely different species from the boys back home in Kentucky.

Suddenly uncaring of any witnesses, Paige leaned in, her free hand cupping Jono's cheek as she pressed a lingering kiss to his lips.

Caught off-guard by that, but delightfully so, Jono let his hands travel down her back, to rest on that rather spectacular rear. He actually growled into the kiss, wanting her almost DESPERATELY right now.

"So... bloody... sexy..." He finally said, once they'd broken the kiss.

She chuckled, still close enough that their lips brushed against once another as she spoke. The hands on her backside made that longing grow inside her, as well, a feeling she'd never felt so strongly for anyone else.

"Yes, you are," she answered, teasingly.

"We... might want to stop..." He said, although the tone of his voice was obvious: he wanted anything BUT to stop. "I don't want to pressure you into anything, and right now... I want you so bloody bad, love.."

"I really do that to you?" She questioned, pulling back just enough so that there was some space between their lips. Made him want her so badly? She couldn't help the smile that widened at that revelation. It was a definite ego booster.

"I can stop." Any minute now. And yet Paige wasn't moving.

"Can you?" He asked, all semblence of playfulness gone from his tone. Folks, this boy was a big bomb of hormones about to explode. "Because frankly, pet.. I don't have that kind of faith in m'self. All I can think about right now is having my hands and lips all over that body."

"...and that would be a bad thing?" The words were out before Paige knew what she was saying, really. They were both teenagers, both had hormones raging inside of them and Paige could think of worse things than making out with a hot, sweet, sensitive guy like Jono. Who really cared about her.

"Whatever we do... I don't want it to happen in the sodding park. Or in the woods somewhere. You're better than that, love. You deserve to have your first... whatever happens... be perfect. I'd like to take you back to my place." He told her, not even realizing how impressive that sounded. Gentlemen? Stil existed, people.

Paige's eyes softened at that little speech. She liked Jono. A lot. Loved him, even if she weren't quite ready to use those exact words. And his words and actions only gave her that much more reason to love him.

"You're amazing," she advised, eyes searching his. "You know that, right?" Her arms tightened around him as she leaned in, lips brushing his cheek.

"I'd like that. Going to your place."

"Then let's go, pet." He told her, taking her hand. "And let me show you how beautiful I find you."

Jono had wanted this girl since the moment he saw her. And now? That he actually seemed to have her? He was going to make damn sure she knew how he felt.

What could Paige say to that? It was the perfect line. And all she could manage to do in return was squeeze his hand and blush a bit. And barely meet his gaze for more than a few seconds at a time. Oh Jean was going to interrogate her good next time they met, wasn't she.
