The most recent wave of giggles has faded. (Post Bachelor Party - Pre CfJ)

[flame_bird]

"Oh man. That was awful of us." Bette doesn't look like she thought it was awful. She looks like she thought it was a laugh riot. "We're bad, bad people." Of course that nearly sets off another wave of the giggles as she looks over to her compatriot.

Pausing, she looks around and scruchnes up her face some. "Where the hell are we anyway?" They've wandered some from Warriors, not having had anywhere specific in mind to get to after leaving. "Ah who cares. We can worry about it later." A pause, "That was awesome. In a horrible way. I'm starving. Are you hungry? We should get some hashbrowns."

"I can't really explain it," Jesse sighs to Wally, leaning against his torso even as Bette leans against hers. "It started after the Olympics. Don't know why. You know me, Wally. My, um, drive doesn't work that way."

"Well, obviously, it does. Once in a while."

He swallows deeply. This is so weird.

"Um..."

Hmm.

"Uh..."

Ahem.

"Do you..." he says, glancing to Bette. "Umm... do you... ah, need permission to just... um... do a little smoochie face?"

You could not possibly ask that in a worse way.

Bette laughs. Because that was hoplessly dorky and in so being, hopelessly cute.

"We haven't talked about it in detail. And I don't want to be wrong. If you guys want to be all making out, I can leave..." She's really not much of a voyuer.

"Um, Bette? I think he wants to know if you and I can...uh...do that."

[fleet-feet.livejournal.com]

"Just once! Just once. Just a... I mean... I've heard about all the shenanigans, but it still only exists in this weird little part of my mind and I just want to... "

You sound like an ass.

"... see..."

You're a moron.

"...for..."

You will find a way to blow this, because you are an idiot.

".. myself?"

"Oh. OH!"

Bette chuckles again, blushing faintly.

"I can't guys. I really... I..." would have to be a hell of a lot more drunk than I am not to feel guilty about it later.

"We'd never ask you to do something that might get you in trouble with Vic or your conscience," Jesse says hastily, looking from Wally back to Bette. "Though...well, I guess we know where we all stand."

[fleet-feet.livejournal.com]

"What she said."

Ahem.

"But we do have beer."

"No, no. Thank you, though."

God. She's going to be tearing out her hair shortly. Being responsible sucks.

[jessequick.livejournal.com]

Jesse pauses. She's Miss Responsibility here and would never encourage someone to do what they ought not, so she clears her throat, takes a sip of Wally's beer, then asks, "So, um...how does one get permission for this sort of thing?"

[fleet-feet.livejournal.com]

"She doesn't know yet, she said. And you can't tell him it's US. I don't know if I could look him in the eye again afterward, because it'd be weird."

"It's already weird."

"This is weird, right? I'm not the only one getting crazy with the cheese whiz here? This is completely off the beaten path and we should get the Federation Medal of Honor for boldly going where no one has gone before?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bird_of_flame_/]

"Well. The only experience I've had with this sort of thing before isn't really worth talking about. And I don't know if he's going to want to know who. I don't know what he's going to want to know. I...."

Bette lets out a breath, "I'm sort of scared to ask him."

[jessequick.livejournal.com]

Jesse stares at Wally because honestly, she has no idea what he just said past the weird bit. And now she's wondering what in hell he wants to do with cheese whiz. "Bette, don't push it. We're all good here. And there's no reason to jeopardize a good thing with Vic just because we're...um....well. Yeah. We're here."

[fleet-feet.livejournal.com]

"She's right. Honestly, don't stress about it. It's just... a... thing. It's not THAT important."

Swallow.

"It'd just be really, really awesome."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bird_of_flame_/]

"Like I said... I think you two might well give me a heart attack. It would be awesome.... I just need to..."

Bette swallows and slides away some.
