Jubilee was breathing heavily; her heart was pounding. She was partly attempting to catch her breath after racing with Kitty to her room. But mostly, her brain was catching up to the fact that she was now alone in the room with Kitty.
Who had just uttered the words “got it on”, and “under my clothes.”
If this had been an anime, Jubilee’s nose would have been bleeding.
She stood there, jaw hanging open even as she tried to calm her breathing and heartbeat. Calming her hormones was going to be a different uphill battle altogether.
“Uh. R-ready when.” What were they going to do again? Something involving swimsuits, probably. Her brain finally started working again, easing into first gear. “I mean … I’m ready. For us.” Because she still hadn’t answered Kitty’s question, she realized.
Taking a few steps toward Kitty until they were nose to nose, Jubilee gently cupped Kitty’s face. “I want this,” Jubilee whispered. “I want you. Like, a lot. Completely.” She kissed Kitty as deeply as she could, as deeply as she had a month before in the Biosphere. During the entire kiss, she tried to decide on the best way to put into words what she was feeling for Kitty, and how to describe what kind of relationship she wanted.
