To Glam's continued delight, more kissing sessions happen on the following days (when they're feeling like a boy). They haven't met her parents as her official boyfriend or girlfriend or whatever yet, and don't mind it too much.
News about Purity's escape surprises exactly no one, but the Protectorate's reputation suffers a blow because of the attack; after all, the heroes were beaten on their home turf. The PHO forums are abuzz, though rumors of Glam's death at the hands of Hookwolf (probably started by same) prove largely unfounded.
And Glam really should get to their webisodes and start building a steadier rep. And that's (one of the reasons) why they're in Lorica's workshop a few days later.
"So what should I do? I haven't posted anything since Purity, should probably make this more of a habit."
"I know I said I wouldn't mind if you had spider mandibles and we couldn't kiss, but boy am I glad we can."
"I remember you claiming you didn't care that much about makeouts," accuses Bella. "I think I have to differ with you on how much you care about makeouts."
"Well... I mean, it's not that I don't care about makeouts, really, just like it's not that I don't care about... movies, or musicals, or dates, or discussing strategy. It's that those are nonessential but desirable features of any arrangement where you and I are together."
"I was crushing on you long before I knew what making out with you was like, or what you looked like, and we still haven't technically gone on a date. All of those things sure are nice to have with you, it's the 'having things with you' part that makes me happiest." He plants a peck on her lips.
"I am! I hope that's not a bad thing, I'm not sure I could in good conscience stop."
"...I mean, I guess I could try. I'd need a list of the behaviors you find cute to know what more specifically to stop, or how to screw them up enough that they're no longer cute."
"Good thing I like you being cute, that sounds like a lot of work."
That earns her another kiss. "Yes, it does. I'm happy you like me being cute, as well."
- yes if he keeps going too long. She will pull his hair and drag his face off her neck, giggling.
"No getting carried away," she laughs, letting go of his hair.
"But I'm always gorgeous and tasty and I'm not always in my room at home."
"I know, that's why I said 'hard' and not 'impossible.'" Pause. "Well, it wouldn't have been really impossible, given aforementioned considerations, but much, much harder, especially now that I know that."
