RP: Night Sky
Characters: LilyLu, John
Time/Date: nighttime, September 11
Location: pool
Warnings/Rating: nudity, possibly more.
Summary: LilyLu is bored and kind of lonely
Status: Complete



Lily was bored. It was bound to happen, honestly, girl like her. No quidditch, no brothers, not even any cousins. Everyone here seemed outside her age range, one direction or the other, and none of them really seemed to be about her maturity level. She'd met the boy with the mutant dog the other day, and he was younger than her and a thousand times more mature. Seemed wrong, somehow. The dog-thing had been cute though. It talked, which was neat.

Still, she missed home. It was nice to have her father here, but she missed her brothers, and her mum, and her hoard of cousins. She even missed school (but not potions) if one could believe that. School always had something going on, someone to talk to. Here ... well, she just plain didn't fit in anywhere.

Yet. She was determined she would find her niche eventually.

With those thoughts in mind, Lily flopped down onto one of the lounge chairs by the pool, gazing at the lit surface the water. She gave some contemplation to getting into the pool, but her suit was down in her room. If her father wasn't here, she would've stripped to skinny dip in a heartbeat. However, there was the thought that he might make his way up to the pool and find her like that, and that ... was just embarrassing.

So she remained where she was, staring up at the fake stars and the faker moon, thinking and missing home.

Strangely enough, John was also bored. Funny how he sometimes used to wish he never had to go to school or have a job or have any responsibilities at all and now that he was thrown into a situation with none of those things, he missed them. He imagined it might be different when the scientists were trying to kill him or something, but in this lull, he wasn't sure what to do with himself.

Making his way up to the roof, he didn't plan on swimming, but there was just something cool about being on a roof and it seemed like there was usually at least a couple people up there at any given time. So he could pretend to be social even if he was just horning in on other people's conversations.

When he saw Lily, he arched a brow and quirked a grin, "So you're stalking me now, huh?"

He didn't care that he was much closer to stalking her than the other way around.

"Right, I'll give you a couple of minutes to work out the flaw in your statement," Lily replied as she turned her head. "Unless you don't think that'd be enough time?"

She shifted her attention back up to the sky -- or whatever was up there -- as she wondered if he'd be sticking around or not. He wasn't so bad for company -- or hadn't been the first time they'd met -- but if he was going to be a jerk the whole time ... well, she'd just go inside and harass Tristan or something.

"Did you track me up here or what?" she inquired, though she doubted that was the case. This -- or the rec area -- was about the only place to go to do anything interesting.

"What, you've never heard of reverse stalking?" He quipped, watching her for a moment before tipping his chin up to follow her gaze up to the sky. He'd heard it was fake which he didn't quite understand the point of. Of course, he didn't really understand much about this place.

"I was thinking about swimming," he lied, for no real reason except for the fact that it seemed like a decent reason to be up on the roof. He really hadn't tracked her, but in a way, he was glad she'd been present. She'd been decent enough to watch movies with the other night and it wasn't like he was making tons of other friends.

"Well, I wasn't thinking about it very hard since I didn't bring ... anything useful," he smirked, mostly at himself. Well, he could swim in his boxers, but he didn't have a towel either.

"No," Lily said frankly as she glanced over to him again. "Tell me how it works," she prompted, a tiny smirk tugging at her lips. Reverse stalking. Wasn't that where you simply plopped yourself down somewhere that someone was likely to find you? Someone who you wanted to find you? She hadn't planted herself up here to be found by anyone particular ... but she didn't really know who haunted the pool yet.

She nodded. "Didn't think you could swim," she pointed out. "Being the master of fire, and all that." She grinned, and supposed that was probably uncalled for. Like tipping salt into an open wound. She wouldn't exactly appreciate being called on her inability to play with her magic just then.

So she shrugged and nodded back toward the rack behind her where the towels were. "Towels are there and you could swim naked. I wouldn't tell," she assured him with a wicked grin.

"Nah, I don't want to give you any ideas," he replied with a teasing grin, moving to one of the chairs and easing down onto it. He shifted a little until he found a comfortable position, somewhat reclined with his legs stretched out. He didn't really believe she didn't know what he meant and anyway, he didn't know if reverse stalking was even a real thing.

He was less than impressed about the reminder that his mastery over fire was nonexistent at the moment. It made him very aware of the lighter in his pocket and how useless it was and he briefly brushed his hand over it through his jeans.

"You might tell after you saw how good I look," he replied modestly, shrugging his shoulders as he went on, "besides, now you've got me paranoid about my swimming ability so I probably shouldn't go in alone. I might drown or be ... extinguished or something."

"Please," Lily said, rolling her eyes. "I am the master of ideas. I can figure it out without your help," she assured him before she grinned. "Besides, you say that like you'd be worried I'd reverse stalk you, or something," she continued. "Which I have absolutely no interest what so ever in doing at all."

She nodded to confirm her statement before she shifted slightly on her side to regard him.

"I doubt you'd be extinguished. You aren't made of fire." She opted not to comment on whether or not she'd tell, because honestly ... she probably would.

"So what're you really doing up here if it's not to swim? Looking for a place to hide? Or to go play in the hot tub? It's not fire, but at least it's hot, right?" Lily grinned a little.

"Well, it's not like a reverse stalker would tell me that they planned on doing the stalking. So I can't just take your word for it," he pointed out, a grin curving his lips as he tilted his head to gaze over at her. He wasn't that interested in just staring at the stars, anyway.

John was giving serious consideration to stripping and going for a swim now, only because he was sure that she didn't think he'd actually do it.

"Honestly? I didn't really have a reason. There's something kind of cool about hanging out on a roof..." he admitted, though he knew it was a stupid reason. "The hot tub definitely sounds more up my ally, though."

Briefly, he wondered how many other people had skinny dipped and if that even mattered. He hadn't run into anyone really gross looking yet.

"I would," Lily said. "Just adds to the challenge. If you know someone's stalking you but they still manage to stalk you successfully, it's ... better." Somewhere in the middle, she'd lost the logic on that, but shrugged because it didn't matter. She'd argue her point anyway, logic or no logic. Even if she didn't have anyone to back her up on it.

"Not as cool as hanging out on a pitch," she admitted mournfully. What she wouldn't give to have a broom she could fly here. Or people to talk quidditch with. Tris was fun for a little while, but she really wanted her teammates instead of rival teams.

"It's back over there," she said with a gesture toward the place the hot tub was kind of tucked away. "If you don't think you could find it, I could show you where it was."

John snorted, "Or it adds to the evidence when they file for a restraining order."

That was a moot point here, of course. Who would they complain to, the doctors? He doubted they would care if one of their 'residents' was being stalked. It was a ridiculous conversation anyway since he didn't expect Lily to stalk him and hell, he didn't even think he would care if she tried.

"Sure, show me where it is," he agreed, more for something to do than concern he wouldn't be able to find it. How hard could it be to find something on a roof? Once he was standing up, he added, "What's a pitch?"

"Tch," she said. Restraining order. Who wouldn't want to be stalked by her? It wasn't like she was annoying, loud, and occasionally very bossy or anything like that.

She slipped off the lounge, rising to follow along. "It's where we play quidditch," she answered before she grinned. He wouldn't know what quidditch was, would he?

"A game wizards and witches play, on brooms. Flying brooms. I was a chaser for my team. Means I was the one to help score the goals," she elaborated so he at least had some idea of what she was talking about. Right? Surely that was enough of an explanation for him to understand all about quidditch.

Striding over toward the gym area, she ducked around the corner to point to where the hot tub was, tucked up in a corner. "There it is," she said.

"Wait, you guys seriously fly around on brooms?" John asked with doubtful amusement. Wands and brooms. He shook his head, grinning, as he followed her to the hot tub. "Don't people ... notice?"

Her explanation of the game certainly left something to be desired, but he was assuming a 'pitch' was maybe the size of a football field. It would have to be decently sized if people were flying around, right? He was pretty sure people who weren't magical would see it and wonder what the fuck was going on.

When they arrived at the hot tub, he looked around curiously and had to admit (at least mentally, not out loud) that he may not have bothered to explore enough to find it on his own. It was nicely tucked away.

"You gonna go in if I do?" He asked, arching his brows curiously.

"We can only fly in certain areas, and only after the appropriate charms are in place. Things to block Muggles from seeing. But if they can hide a whole castle, hiding an ickle pitch isn't going to be an issue," she replied. Not that he had any reason to know they could hide an entire castle ... but there it was all the same. "The pitch on the school grounds is hidden and charmed, and all the official ones are as well.

"My gran on my mum's side has a lot of land in the country though, so most summers we fly around the orchard. As long as we stay under the tree-line, we're fine."

Lily shrugged to his question. "I'd have to go in starkers if you did," she quipped. "I didn't bring a suit up with me, but I wasn't planning on getting wet." She didn't really intend to get naked in front of him. It was one thing to consider skinny-dipping in the pool with no one around. It was another thing entirely to strip down in front of a bloke she hardly knew.

"Ickle?" He echoed with a grin, both his brows raised. He didn't know if that was a wizard word like Muggle or British slang, but either way, it sounded ridiculous. "I don't know how you guys talk with a straight face."

Being able to fly sounded cool, of course, but he wondered why they used brooms. Were they trying to be ironic, maybe? Or.. they were just the right shape to stick between your legs and ride. That thought almost made him snort and he shook his head at himself.

"You think you getting naked is going to deter me?" He questioned as he gazed down at her. "Are you not wearing underwear? A bikini wouldn't cover much more than that, anyway."

"Little," she said with a roll of her eyes. "What's wrong with how I talk?" she retorted, brows lifting as she regarded him. "Sure you don't have any strange words at all in your vocabulary of slang terms," she continued. Honestly, Americans had some of the oddest slang, and she assumed that's what he was.

If she were being fair, she supposed some of their words might seem odd to a foreigner as well, but Lily was rarely inclined to be completely fair.

"Knickers," she said with a shrug. "No bra though." Not that he needed to be privy to that particular bit of information. Even if it was possible he could tell just by looking. Hers weren't all that big and it rarely seemed worth the effort to put on an extra bit of clothing for support she didn't really need ... and under her school robes, it was impossible to tell anyway.

He didn't think she really expected an answer about what was wrong with the way she talked. Anyway, nothing was really wrong with it; it just sounded funny and made up. He didn't think any of the slang he used sounded that way, but whatever. He knew it was cultural differences, but he didn't care enough to relent.

Not to mention, he was suddenly more interested in their hot tub discussion.

His eyes did flick -- maybe more than just flick -- down to her chest when she mentioned she wasn't wearing a bra.

"Well, I'm not wearing one either so we'd be even," he pointed out with a smirk. "Anyway, it's not like I've never seen tits before."

He didn't actually believe he was going to convince her and that was mostly fine with him. While he felt some arousal stirring at the idea of being half naked with her, he wasn't sure if it would be awkward or not, sitting around that way in a hot tub.

Lily arched her brows as she regarded him. "Do you often make a practice of wearing one? I've some extras down in my room if you wanted to try one on." Though really, she had a very narrow chest and he looked significantly broader in that area than she did. Not that she was actually planning on lending him one anyway.

She flushed a little when she noticed the direction of his gaze before she smirked and arched her back to jut out her chest a bit more so he might actually have something to look at.

Part of her was a little curious what would happen if she did follow along and strip down to her knickers to get into the hot tub with him. Not that she was planning on it, but what if she did? There was the matter of her father finding out, and that would be sort of mortifying.

Brown eyes narrowed thoughtfully before she rolled her shoulders in a shrug. "Suppose I'm game if you are," she stated boldly.

Well, fuck. He couldn't back out if she was game. He didn't exactly want to back out, but the truth of the matter was, he talked big yet was rarely given opportunities to follow through on his bluffs. But whatever. He could strip down to his boxers; it wasn't a big deal.

"All right then," he agreed with a grin, ducking his head as he grabbed the hem of his shirt and pulled it off. That he really was fine with. Mostly, he was only self conscious about being in his boxers because he was sure he'd be visibly hard in no time at all, especially if she really took her shirt off.

"Your turn," he prompted with a bit of eagerness in his eyes, tossing his shirt towards the closest chair and then crossing his arms under his bare chest.

Lily watched as he pulled his shirt off, her lips pursing slightly. This had become a Challenge, and she was a Gryffindor, and she very simply did not back down from a Challenge, no matter how much trouble she was likely to get into.

Granted, it wasn't like her father could ground her or anything like that, nor was anyone really around to ... talk about her and spread rumors that she was stripping with strange boys on the roof.

So Lily shrugged and ran her hands over her belly, catching the hem of her shirt and tugging it up over her head. She tossed it to join his before she crossed her arms over her breasts, one brow cocked in a 'now what' gesture at him. "Your turn again," she prompted, aware of the slight hitch in her throat as she spoke.

John could hardly believe she was going along with this, but he wasn't going to complain. He wondered if he should comment, but ... hey, nice boobs probably wasn't the best idea. Blue eyes openly lingered on her chest once it was bared until she spoke and he blinked, lifting his gaze. Right, his turn.

Licking his lips, he nodded and reached down to unbutton and unzip his pants. His cheeks flushed as he shoved his jeans down only to realize his shoes were still on. Awkwardly, he kicked the shoes off first before stepping out of his pants and standing up straight again, resisting the urge to tug at his boxers.

He felt at a disadvantage since it was very obvious that he was aroused and he couldn't tell what she was thinking. But whatever, he got to see her topless so he figured this was somehow a win for him either way.

"You again," he murmured, clearing his throat afterwards and trying not to feel horribly naked.

Lily looked. Why wouldn't she? There was a guy getting naked (sort of) in front of her ... of course she was going to look. Her brows elevated a little, and she couldn't help but grin. He was hard already? "You don't think you're getting any, do you?" she murmured, gesturing slightly toward the obvious tent in his boxers.

Still, a challenge was a challenge, so she ran her hands to her waist, unbuttoning her shorts and pushing them down her thighs until gravity took over. She stepped out of them, slipping her shoes off as she did.

Crossing her arms under her breasts again, she grinned to him, wondering if they were just going to stand here, or if he was going to get into the tub. Then she wondered if they'd ... do anything.

If her father wasn't here, she might be a little more inclined to act on the impulses she had but ... her dad was here. He was bound to hear about this, somehow, in that way he had of knowing everything. So shouldn't she at least try to behave and pretend she had some modicum of decency?

... well, she'd think about it.

For a brief moment, John had enjoyed her looking, until she seemed amused. He rolled his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest which did absolutely nothing to hide what he really wanted to hide.

"You probably shouldn't be too flattered," he muttered, shrugging broad shoulders. "You're practically naked and nice to look at. It just ... happens."

Then he grinned as he added, "But I wouldn't say no to getting some."

Now that they were both in the state of dress they had agreed on, he let his eyes roam once more down her body -- she had nice legs -- before turning to step over to the hot tub. Easing into the warm water, he sighed as he settled back against the edge, feeling more at ease now that he was submerged.

"I shouldn't be flattered but I'm nice to look at? You realize you just contradicted yourself there?" Lily followed him over to the hot tub, easing down into the hot water as well. "'course you wouldn't say no," she murmured. "You're a guy. I haven't met any guys that wouldn't say no to getting some."

Granted, not every guy wanted some from a girl, but she doubted Tris would say no to getting some if there was a guy involved.

"Do you have anyone here yet? Anyone else you know from home, I mean?" She wondered if there was any pattern to people arriving or not. "Or anyone you want to see here? You know, assuming it wasn't so selfish to want to drag someone into this so you could have some company."

She wiggled around until she was covered by the water, and she looked around at the various buttons on the side. She grinned as she pushed the one for bubbles, laughing as they started to form, creating a nice layer of foamy bubbles on the surface.

"I did not," he muttered, even though he knew he had. He mostly meant that you could put any nice looking naked chick in front of him and he would get hard, but he figured she knew what he meant or if she just wanted to take it as a compliment, well, that was fine too.

It took him a moment to realize they weren't talking about sex or having a relationship when she asked if he had anyone here. He was about to say no, but he did know Jaime.

"Jaime and I went to school together. So I know her. We're not really friends or anything though," he added because it wasn't like by Jaime being here, he had a buddy to chill with or someone to really talk to. He just had someone familiar to snark at if he felt like being a dick.

"I guess I wouldn't mind if my roommate showed up. What about you?" He asked. Of course, he would never admit such a thing or act like he was pleased if they happened to kidnap Bobby. The thought was interrupted by the bubbles and he snorted a laugh, craning his neck a little as he regarded her, "Fuck, there goes my view.."

Lily opted not to engage in the did not/did too argument, even if she and Jamie had abused the hell out of that growing up. She knew (now) he'd only ever been teasing when he did it, but she, four years younger, believed him utterly sincere in his arguments when she was small. She felt a pang of homesickness washing over her, and she lowered her eyes slightly to watch the bubbles.

"I met her," she murmured. "She seems nice enough." Lily shrugged to the question. "My dad's here. And Tristan. But none of my cousins or siblings or his mates or anything. My grandmother's here, but I never knew her in life. Oh, and my grandfather just showed up a few days ago with his best mate. Doesn't seem right, everyone else showing up with friends."

She tipped her chin up, but all she could see was ceiling. "Seems wrong to wish for James or Al or Hugo or Meg to show up, but ... I wouldn't mind having one of my mates around."

Smirking when he commented about the lost view, she stuck out her tongue at him. "Tell me about your roommate then," she prompted.

"It's not wrong," he decided as if he was an authority on the matter of right and wrong, shrugging his shoulders. "It's not like wishing for them is going to make them appear. I don't think there's anyone here who doesn't miss someone and wish they were here."

For all that, he figured if the kidnappers knew who they wished to show up, they'd be less likely to bring them. They were pricks like that, in his opinion.

A baffled expression crossed his features for a moment when she encouraged him to tell her about his roommate. "Uh. Well, his name's Bobby," John shrugged. "He's... I don't know. He can create ice and shit. I bet they thought they were being ironic or something by making us roommates."

He smirked, wishing he had his lighter or something else to keep his hand busy.

Lily shrugged. It still didn't feel right to wish they'd kidnap Meg or Hugo or her friends, just so she'd have someone to pal around with. She could make friends just fine. She was making one right now, sort of.

She also opted not to point out how wrong John's wording was; it seemed crass to point out everyone could create shit, especially since she knew he hadn't meant it that way. "He can create it? He doens't need like, a tray of ice cubes to start it off or anything?"

So, that was probably low and kind of jabby, but ... she was a kind of jabby person.

"Were you guys close?" she continued. She knew that roommates didn't equate closeness. There were a couple of her dormmates who couldn't tolerate her, and she felt much the same about them ... but she was curious if John was close to Bobby.

"No. He doesn't need a fruity little wand, either," he shot back with a smirk before shaking his head slightly.

He didn't really understand why she wanted to know things about Bobby or why it mattered if he had been close to the other boy. John didn't even know. It's not like they sat around and braided each other's hair or anything. The truth was, it was a frustrating question because he didn't know the answer. An annoying part of him wanted to say yes. Yes, they were really close, but... he shook his head again.

"He was just someone to hang out with," he replied, gazing past her at nothing in particular. "Anyway, he got a whiny little girlfriend and probably didn't even notice when I left."

Lily stuck out her tongue at him. Her wand wasn't fruity, it was expensive and well made and it worked very nicely for her. She doubted very much he'd care about that (or he'd find some other way to tease her), so she settled for the response she'd already given him -- her tongue.

She listened to his answer and watched him stare off into the distance. Shifting, she peered to see if she could follow his gaze, her breasts lifting slightly above the line of bubbles before she shifted back to face him. She hadn't seen anything.

But she wasn't dumb. She knew people, and that was the sort of expression people got when they weren't being honest. "Left? Like kidnapped or did you run away from wherever you were before and that's how they got you?

"I haven't any idea how they got me. The school's warded and protected, but they got my grandfather from school, too." She shrugged. "They must have some way around it."

John let himself be distracted from his thoughts by Lily's breasts rising above the water. He grinned, his brows raising appreciatively and he wondered if he should make up an excuse about seeing a bird or something. Did they even have birds here? Probably not, he figured.

"I didn't run away," he insisted. That made him sound like a coward or something. "I joined ... this group. It's kind of a long story. I don't know if that's how they got me or not, though."

Jaime was taken from the mansion though, he assumed, so it's not like he wouldn't have been taken just because he stayed.

"If they can shut down our powers, maybe they can... turn off protections that places have too," he offered thoughtfully.

"I don't think anyone can turn off the protection at Hogwarts," Lily protested. But they must have some way around it, if they'd taken her grandfather and Sirius. Surely they must, because they'd likely gotten around the wards on the house as well, if they had her father.

But then, she didn't know where her father had been taken from. Perhaps he'd been out.

"Maybe you should ask them and see what they say," she baited with a grin. "See how they're doing it." She wondered if they'd answer. Really, what harm could it do? It wasn't like anyone here could send out a warning to people not yet kidnapped.

He hadn't thought that anyone could turn off his mutation either. It amused him in a way that wasn't really funny that there were a ton of people back home who would love to be able to turn mutations off.

When she suggested asking them, he laughed. He was about to agree -- he didn't care about asking them a question on the network -- when he changed his mind. He paused, regarding her thoughtfully for a moment before he smirked.

"All right. I'll ask them if you kiss me for ... twenty seconds," he baited back, arching his brows and stretching out his arms along the side of the tub as he waited to see what she thought of that.

"You were going to do it anyway," she accused him, brown eyes narrowing. "You can't feel me up if I kiss you," she replied, because really ... how easy would that be, since she was practically naked and if she was kissing him she'd be well within the reach of his hands.

"Besides, how're you going to time it?" she challenged. She wanted to make sure she had all the parameters in place before she agreed to the ... challenge, such as it was. "Not like you can count while your mouth is occupied."

She sighed. "You know, it'd be just as easy for me to ask them. Save me the trouble of having to kiss you. Because then you'd want to touch me, and then we'd be going up to your room or something ..." Lily shook her head. "No, suppose I'll just ask them."

"Hey, if I can walk and chew gum at the same time, I can definitely count while my mouth is occupied," he protested, though honestly if they were kissing, he couldn't imagine he would be paying much attention to the random time limit he had assigned.

Crossing his arms over his bare chest, he regarded her with a smug expression, "Sounds like you think you're going to like kissing me too much, if you think you're going to end up in my room."

He wouldn't protest that. Fooling around would be a welcome distraction. Teasing her while they were half naked in the hot tub was fun too, though, so he couldn't really complain too much if it didn't go any farther than this.

"That's a pretty big if though. I mean, I don't know that you can walk and chew gum at the same time," she pointed out before she moved closer to him, scooting around the edge of the hot tub.

"I didn't say I wanted to go up to your room," she protested, even if ... it had ... kind of sounded that way. "I just meant that sometimes I'm very impulsive and if you started doing things, I might be swayed and forget that I left my virtue somewhere up on the roof."

She exhaled and overly dramatic sigh. "Fine. I'll kiss you for twenty seconds so you'll go ask them how they managed to kidnap us." She supposed it was a good idea to restate that, just in case she forgot in the course of snogging him why she was doing it.

His gaze followed her as she scooted along the edge towards him, a light grin on his lips. "Uh huh," he agreed, not sounding entirely convinced that she was very concerned about her virtue.

"Right. Twenty seconds," John echoed, wondering if she'd really hold him to the time limit. He'd also have to ask if she thought he should try a private message to the kidnappers or just broadcast it, but he was more interested in getting the kiss first.

Shifting to face her, he gazed at her for a brief moment before leaning in. He claimed her lips softly, but fully, one of his hands moving to cup her cheek. Kissing someone while they were both already mostly naked was an interesting twist.

Lily drew back a little when he leaned in. Part of her had sort of thought he was going to bluff and not follow through, but now he was. She couldn't well back down, could she? She could just hope like hell her dad never heard about this.

But really, who was going to tell? She wasn't, and she didn't think John would. Not if he wanted this to happen again.

Which ... he might not. What did she know?

Letting her eyes close, Lily returned his kiss a little awkwardly. She'd kissed plenty of people on dares before, but never for a set time period. Usually it was just a quick kiss on the lips and that was that. Reaching out, she rested her hands lightly on his shoulders, wondering if he was keeping track of the time or not.

John grinned against her lips, eyes closed. It did feel good and he thought he would very much appreciate it if her hands began to wander from his shoulders, but there was something kind of funny or awkward or maybe awkwardly funny about agreeing to kiss for a certain amount of time.

He nipped lightly, gently at her lower lip before he broke the kiss to murmur, "So you said I definitely get to grope you, right?"

His lips were still close to hers and he was pretty sure it hadn't been anywhere near twenty seconds. Funny how twenty seconds sounded really fast, but could feel like a long time when you were supposed to be counting it.

"I definitely said nothing of the sort," Lily replied as she opened her eyes. "Was that time already, or are you bad at counting?"

She really wasn't sure what to make of imposing the time limit. She didn't think it had been the whole twenty seconds, but she supposed she wasn't going to protest if he wanted to stop now. Unless he was stopping because she was a bad kisser, and that just wouldn't be allowed to stand. Her eyes narrowed slightly and she wondered if that was the case. She didn't think so, but ...

Leaning in again, she reclaimed his lips a little fiercely, more aggressively than he'd been kissing her. She simply couldn't let him think she wasn't any good at it, after all -- even if he hadn't been thinking that at all.

"Neither," he admitted with a grin, admiring what he could see of her body from this much closer vantage point. At least, he didn't think it had been time.

He had only just begun to wonder if he should kiss her again when she leaned in and claimed his lips. He blinked at the intensity of it, but recovered from his surprise quickly enough and kissed her back eagerly. One arm wrapped around her shoulder, allowing a hand to move into her hair. He wasn't quite sure what to do with his other hand since there was really no where clothed he could touch.

This time, he forgot about the time limit completely and parted his lips against hers, his tongue flicking out against her mouth.

Lily returned his kiss for a few seconds more before she slowly drew her head back. "Time," she said impishly before she licked her lips. Funny, but to her he somehow tasted smokey. But not like cigarette smoke or anything like that but ... somehow a good taste.

She eased back away from him, curious if he'd pursue or not. He had a message to post, after all, and Lily grinned a little as she sank down under the water in her prior seat.

It had been nice though, and she supposed she wouldn't fight too hard if he wanted to keep going a little.

John's lips had initially tried to follow hers when she broke the kiss. Blinking his eyes open, he grinned as he shook his head, "Oh no, that was you kissing me. I don't think that counts towards the time," he argued teasingly.

Though he guessed they had been in the tub for a long time and he did have a bet to follow through with.

"But if you wanted to save a few seconds for later, I guess I wouldn't mind that. Or if you found yourself overcome with desire and wanted to go to my room instead," he offered with a waggle of his brows.

Lily laughed quietly. "But you were still getting kisses, so it counts," she protested before she turned the bubbles off. She was starting to get pruney fingers, and she was ready to get out and cool off anyway. Standing up, she eased out of the hot tub, looking around until she spied the towels. Wrapping one around herself, she nudged one closer to the edge of the tub for him.

"I'm pretty sure I can keep my desire in check," she assured him as she tucked the end of the towel between her breasts to hold it on while she looked around for her clothes. "At least this time. I mean, the kissing was nice and all, but hardly something to overwhelm me with desire."

He grinned and stayed in the tub until she was covered by the towel, not bothering to hide that he was watching her. Climbing out, he grabbed the towel she had helpfully provided and dried himself off before wrapping it around his waist.

"That's only 'cause you didn't let me go the whole twenty seconds," he assured her, "that's how long it takes for my overwhelming hotness to kick in."

He shrugged briefly to himself, unsure if that was really something good or not. Like, his hotness should kick in instantly instead. Oh well.

"You gettin' dressed or walking back in in a towel?"

"Maybe next time we'll try for the twenty seconds and see if my reactions change," Lily quipped with a grin. "And I'm walking back in a towel."

Because really, what were the odds, honestly, of her father finding her?

"See you later," she offered as she gathered up her clothing, balling up the fabric and tucking it between her arm and the towel.

"Yeah, see you later," he agreed with some amusement. He was going to head in too, but he could chill on the roof for a few more minutes and give her a head start ... which ... was somehow easier than offering to walk inside with her.

Yeah, he didn't really see the logic either, but that's what he did.
