Re: log: flash/gwen at the orchard
"I like handsome. Makes me sound dignified and shit. Should see me in a suit when I gotta talk to superiors. No ratty ass t-shirts then." Flash leaned forward to kiss the side of her mouth. Physical affection was getting easier with her, there wasn't a lot of questions in his head about whether or not she wanted him to kiss her. She looked at him like she saw something cool and she kissed him like she wanted more. He was shit when it came to reading girls, but he was experienced enough to know that basic stuff. "Nah, babe. Not if you got some super powers you're hiding. Then, it's a handicap match and I gotta bring Reaper with me." He nudged her shoulder. "Just cause you're a girl doesn't mean I'm going to let you win."
He pppffftt'd at her choice of orcs and then did one of his exaggerated shrugs. Like, okay dude you did this to yourself. Not my problem! "Gonna name the hottest planet after you. And, no before you ask again I don't know why the fuck it's used as an attractiveness thing. Why is hot mean good looking and cool mean good? Shit makes no sense. Don't make me think about it."
Flash took the baggie back and smiled at her. "Thanks." Gwen had a way of seeing an easy problem and fixing it. "Yeah, I don't know. What if they're normal now and I'm just some fucking macho geek who wants to talk about video games? What if they got normal jobs and like, fuck, a wife! What if some of them are married!" The idea sounded alien. Like that shit wasn't supposed to happen until you were thirty-five or OLDER.
He didn't sound sad when he talked about being a kid. He knew it was fucked up, but he worked really hard to not let it fuck him up anymore. But, she was frowning and so he reached over to touch her face, run his finger through her hair around her ear. She leaned in to kiss him and he put one hand over hers, letting himself enjoy it. People at the bonfire probably thought he was being too nice to her, too sweet, and that was an indicator of something. But, Flash wasn't good at connecting feelings to thoughts. He just did what he felt was right. Kissing her slow and soft under the stars? That shit was right.
She asked about MJ and he gave her a look like he was physically causing him some pain. "Tell me what you're thinking." Cause he couldn't figure it out and he wasn't about to accuse her of anything. Flash kissed her again, quick and a little harder before he pulled back and started absently looking at the stuff she brought with her.
