When Hyacinth comes home to her new apartment for the first time after a long day at university, it's to the sight of moving bots just finishing dropping off the last of her stuff and moving furniture into place. The full-immersion VR pod her parents gave her is safely hooked up in the pod room, her bed is in her bedroom, she has chairs and a desk and some bookshelves. Clothes are mostly still in boxes, waiting to be hung up in the closet. Holovid and a cozy chair occupy the living room. She doesn't have any food in the small kitchen yet.
"Okay. So, um. I kind of meant right now but then I realized that Hailey's probably all shaken up and not in good condition to do it just yet. Um. — It's up to her."
Then Sable smiles wryly. "Tell me a little what you have in mind, and I think before we get two minutes into the discussion she'll be refreshed, ready, and stealing front."
Is scooping a good response to that question? Because Sable totally scoops Hyacinth up in a princess carry, uses her tail to stack the bowls in the sink, and then carries her off to the bedroom.
Sable peppers Sin's face with fond kisses as they go, then sets her gently down in the bed.
Hyacinth lays down on her back on the bed and beckons.
"... I want to be real cozy for this part," she says.
She snuggles close, drapes a wing across Hyacinth, and strokes her hair gently with her fingertips. "Being cozy with a cute girl we fell for. Oh no, what a hardship."
Hyacinth snuggles into the wing and presses one hand to her chest. A confused jumble of want and fear constricts her heart, as physical as the pressure of her fist against her own skin.
"I want it to be... intimate," she starts. "I want... to be teased with it. And I want you to make me ask for it. And I want..."
Her voice chokes out for a moment.
"I want to... want to... I want to see her. To... look into her eyes when she does it..."
She takes a breath, and her voice steadies a little. "And I want it to be short. Quick. One good stab and gone, you know? To... my heart."
"That sounds lovely." She strokes Sin's hair some more. "So you don't want a lot of additional cutting, I take it? Some teasing with the knife, but the pivotal stab is the only blood that gets spilled?"
"I mean, it's one thing when it's in text, but... actually getting cut up..."
Hyacinth ducks her head.
"I... might want to try that, later, but... right now I'm scared and I want something... straightforward."
She caresses Sin's cheek with her other hand.
"And how do you feel about her pinning you down? Holding your hands down with her wings while she teases you?"
And Hailey rolls atop Hyacinth, straddling her hips, and smirks down at her.
"Hello, Hyacinth~"
"Eeeeeeeeeeeep!"
Hyacinth flushes hard and splutters. "Um, uh, - s-safeword? If this is supposed to be the thing???"
"This is not the thing, but hearing about the thing was more than enough to tempt me back into front and stop letting Sable talk for me. We won't start the scene until you ask me to start the scene, though."
She strokes a fingertip across Sin's forehead, brushing hair out of her eyes. A faintly blushy grin stretches across her face. "She did warn you that I'd be back before long."
Hailey cocks an eyebrow down at Hyacinth, then leans down after a moment, pressing a light kiss to her lips.
Hyacinth kisses back softly.
"Okay," she says. "I just — didn't want to be surprised. I think I'm okay to start, as long as — safeword is okay, right?"
"Definitely. Traffic light system work for you? Red for stop, yellow for slow down be careful, green for hell the fuck yes?"
