If I'm not answering, it must be because I'm living with the baddest babe this side of the inner city! Go ahead and leave a message if you're not too overcome with jealousy! Kthxbai!
[He slumps into the top of the couch, slowly melting into the fabric as he runs those words through his head over and over again. She's not really lying. The girl is like a big cat, a predator. Her powers are insane, and he doesn't stand a chance.
What makes all the difference is that with Jinx, he doesn't mind. She jumps when he picks up a knife. She drunk texts him about missing his face. She tosses him into the haunted backyard when he one-ups her. She wrestles with him until neither of them can breathe from laughter. She saved his fucking life.
After what may seem the border of "too long," he raises one hand and begins counting on his fingers.]
One. Was. As in not anymore.
Two. I'd be scared if you weren't a little screwed up after all this crap.
Three. I told you from the start, right? The real bad guys don't care.
Four. You're number one.
Five. It'll be sixteen next month.
[He lifts his head once he reaches number five, to better see what she thinks of these counter arguments.]
[Silence really can be deafening. Her heartbeat pounds against her eardrums, her breathing seems a lot louder than it should be, and she could swear she hears a ringing. When he finally begins the list, there's both relief and doubt.
Especially about the first point he brought up.
She's not over Lucifer. She doesn't know if those feelings are still love or if they ever were, but him not being here feels like a piece of her is missing.
It takes her until the fifth argument to realize that, if Kida disappeared, she wouldn't have even gotten out of bed. She sighs.]
Come sit down, will you? If you're already resigned to putting up with my shit, you might as well hug me or something to make me feel better.
[He doesn't waste another second. When she invites him to sit down, he hops right over the back of the couch to bounce onto the cushion beside her. He's just as quick to move closer. A delicate matter such as this clearly requires his quality enthusiasm.]
[With as much playfulness as she can muster up, she curls her lips back and hisses. It's not a threatening hiss. Probably the sound a really lazy cat makes if you poke it too much.]
[She nuzzles her cheek against his chest, feeling safe with his arms wrapped around her. There's still that pit in her stomach. Kida being there for her doesn't change the fact that another person may never be there again.
With your sexy wiles~? You can be anything you want. If you feel like a big gray blah, then you can be a big gray blah. And if you feel like a shoulder massage...
[Very suddenly, she was no longer on his lap. Her bottom was firmly planted on the rug in front of the couch, her back pressed up against Kida's knees.]
[He can't help but grin at how quickly she gets ready. How can he not feed a Jinx starving for attention?
While no expert, Kida Masaomi is well practiced in this regard, and those hands move in like hawks to clasp her shoulders, massaging as much stress out of her as he can.]
[He's being willfully ignorant if he thinks the princess treatment is only going to last a day. Dating Jinx is even more demanding than dating royalty. But the payoff for Kida's deeds may yet match the efforts.
It isn't long before he's turned her into a pleasured pile of dead weight. She's purring embarrassingly loud, giving him little moans of encouragement when he hits the right spots.
If this doesn't inflate his damaged ego, nothing will.]
[Yep, Jinx is pretty much useless now. Her claws knead the carpet. When she feels her body drifting a little, she lazily tugs away from his hands. With a sleepy look in her eyes, she crawls back up onto the couch and curls the upper half of her body up in Kida's lap.
[He moves his arms out of the way when she gets back on the couch and watches in amused wonder as she situates herself on his lap. She's already purring like his lap is heaven sent, but he lowers an arm to pet lightly along her hairline.
It's too perfect for words. For once, the kid stays quiet.]
[Meanwhile, she sounds like a little motor. Her claws flex against thin air and she nuzzles his leg with her cheek. She was more than just upset when he came over. Jinx was scared and insecure. Kida managed to take all that and turn it into--well, just look at her.
After awhile, she can't even keep her eyes open. Her body relaxes as she begins to drift off.

Abracadabra.
