Clarice had come home with Illyana after a show and they'd all had dinner together. She had quickly won Kitty over for her ability to make Illyana utterly beam at times. So she'd gone to bed in a good mood. Of course any night where she got to beat the twins at video games then seduce her girlfriend was a good night.
So it came to her like a flash of lightning. A sudden insight into her powers and an ability to mold it to her will.
It was late at night. She could hear the sound of Xi'an's heartbeat as she phased out of her blankets and rose into the air. It was so simple that she didn't know why she hadn't figured it out before! She could make herself lighter than air, though she couldn't hold it as long as she should 'normally' be able to. Not without more practice. At least, she thought, she could phase normally for longer now. But most importantly...
She could finally dance, and dance she did, moving through the air with fluid grace, her naked form lit only by the moonlight.
Xi'an stirred slightly as she felt Kitty's weight leave the bed. She sighed and rolled over, opening one eye to glance toward where she expected Kitty to be standing. Only Kitty wasn't where Xi'an expected her to be.
Kitty was...dancing. In mid air.
She drifted down towards Xi'an, feeling a little spent and seeing her lover move. When her feet touched the ground, she returned to solidity and reached for Xi'an's hand.
Xi'an took a deep breath and took Kitty's hand. She was still a little drowsy, but she couldn't take her eyes off of Kitty after seeing what she'd just seen.
"I love you," Kitty whispered. "Don't worry, I've got you." She steeled herself and then lifting them together into an airborne dance.
Xi'an clung to Kitty a bit, unsure of how this dancing on air business worked. It was a strange feeling, but...also exhilerating.
It was not unlike how she could phase a person with her through a wall, but instead of through an object their molecules shifted to allow air to pass underneath them. It was a bit like controlled floating. It was rapidly tiring her, but Kitty had been fantasizing about this since she'd started dreaming about it for months, and was worth it.
Xi'an relaxed a little and smiled at Kitty. This was...amzaing. There wasn't a way to really describe how magical the moment felt.
It was meaningful, and by the time Kitty had landed them again, sagging against Xi'an as her muscles protested the exertion, she was crying warm, happy tears.
"I just woke up and I..I knew." She stroked her fingers down Xi'an's face.
Xi'an hugged her tightly. "That was...breathtaking..."
Emotional, Kitty hugged her back, sounding choked up, "I've wanted to share that with you for so long."
Xi'an choked up a bit herself and kissed Kitty. "Thank you, love..."
She nuzzled Xi'an's lips with her own after the kiss, then moved to the bed and sat down. She knew it shouldn't be that much exertion but like everything in this life it hadn't come easy. Pulling Xi'an into her lap and kissed her again. What she asked next was as much a trial balloon as it was a request for advice, "Been meaning to ask for your help for something..."
"Mmm." She draped her arms around Kitty's neck and smiled at her. "What do you need help with?"
Kitty's eyes went to half mast as Xi'an's scent overwhelmed her, "Uh...oh yeah. Gotta help someone shop..for a certain kind of dress. But I have the fashion sense of a blind chiuahua." She buried her face in Xi'an's neck and inhaled deeply.
Xi'an couldn't help but chuckle at that. "I think you do alright, but I can understand wanting a second pair of eyes when someone wants you to help them out."
"Ye-ah. And I'd feel less guilty taking her for dirty underwear at the same time. Although that would be harder to surprise you." Kitty grinned against Xi'an's skin, and rubbed her fingers lightly up her back. Belatedly, she realized she'd taken Xi'an dancing with only one leg, and then hugged her much harder.
Xi'an grinned. "I think you could probably still manage to surprise me," she said. Kitty's caresses made her smile, and she stroked the younger woman's hair.
"Hokay..if we need your help..." Kitty nuzzled Xi'an again, trailing off and grinning stupidly, "I love you, you know? I mean you know, but I really like saying it and after the dancing I just feel so...light."
Xi'an smiled and kissed her cheek. "I know," said with a smile, "and I love you, too. I'll be happy to help on the parts that don't involve surprising me."
Kitty pulled her head back to grin at Xi'an, then face planted on the woman's breasts, feeling somewhat overwhelmed by emotion.
Xi'an laughed and ran her hands through Kitty's hair.
"Nooo." Kitty protested weakly, "My greatest weakness..!"
"Mmm, yes. I know your weakness and do love to exploit it." Xi'an chuckled.
Kitty's lips and tongue found one of Xi'an's nipples, and teased at it, before she lifted her head and playfully kissed Xi'an on the nose.
"I'm taking you out Saturday. I want to go to that spot of ours, for the picnic we had. Just you and me and some blankets and wine."
Xi'an smiled and nuzzled Kitty. "That sounds like a wonderful idea," she said. "A day to ourselves will be great."
Kitty pulled Xi'an down onto the bed with her, "Illyana and her girl can watch the kids."
But right now, Kitty had a different dance in mind.
