pursuedthestars | Room 222 | Thursday Evening

Bay, meanwhile, was bored. Bored, horny, restless, and she could only spend so much time trying to make art out of that before she gave up and started roaming the halls.

It wasn't like she knew Jim well, but he was cute and he'd sent her a flower, so why not roam to his room? She paused in the doorway when she got to it and tapped on the frame.

"Hey," she said. "What's up? Are you doing anything exciting?"

She could see he probably wasn't.

"I wish," Jim said, looking up and shaking his head. "I think I'd be a lot happier if I was doing something exciting. But hey, now I have someone to talk to."

Jim smiled over at her and dropped his phone on his nightstand. "Come on in."

"Thanks," Bay said, sliding through the door, and looked around the room for something to comment on. "Nice ... dorm room. Who's your roomie?"

She needed her brain to stop immediately suggesting exciting things he could do.

"Jackson Whittemore," Jim said, rolling off his bed. Having a girl in his room was going to do nothing for his self control especially a pretty girl like Bay. He rolled his neck and stretched a bit.

Of course, standing up meant he could get a better look at her and yep. "He's a giant douche," he added. "Probably looks like he has a stick up his ass. Know him?"

Bay's top was maybe a tiny bit more fitted than was strictly necessary for ambling around the dorms, and she'd put on lipstick too. It was almost like she wanted people to look at her.

"The one who acts like the whole world exists just to piss him off?" Bay asked. She almost sounded distracted by the way Jim was stretching. "Yeah, I've run into him a couple times. Sucks you have to live with him."

"I try to make the best of it," Jim said, rubbing his lower lip with his thumb. He smiled again. "He's not so bad when you're annoying the ever loving crap out of him."

And Jim tended to do that a lot. "What brings you by? Nothing exciting going on for you either?"

Bay shook her head. "I wish," she said. "I could use something exciting to distract me from the whole island playing with our hormones deal. It's like we're living inside an '80s sex comedy."

As she spoke, she twisted a bit of hair nervously. That would have sounded very strange if Jim were somehow immune.

"So, nope. Just here 'cause I was getting bored of my room."

Jim was definitely not immune so she didn't need to worry. The hair twisting even drew a little smirk from him. He knew nervous habits when he saw them.

"I don't know about you but it's been a pretty dull sex comedy for me," he said, sighing sadly. "It's been me running around the island like a freaking madman all week. It has been boring, I agree."

He really, really wanted to do something about that before he went insane.

"So dull. I spent last night talking to my roommate about his bizarre bra fixation and looking at bad anime online," Bay told him, with a little snort of laughter. "And please don't ask about the roommate and the bra thing, it'll make one of us cry. So if it's a sex comedy I'm definitely an extra so far."

She glanced at him speculatively. "It's not a good time to be single."

"It's really not," Jim agreed with a nod. He wasn't sure he'd want to be attached at this point in his life but at least he'd have a convenient outlet if he did have a girlfriend. As it was now, it meant he did a lot of...running.

"So, looks like our roles in this sex comedy are pretty similar," he said, tilting his head and smirking slightly at her. "Sad thing, don't you think? I hate being an extra."

"It's not a good role for me," Bay agreed, smirking back at him and ignoring the way her heart had started careening around her chest. "I would have thought I'd at least have a speaking part, maybe even steal a scene once or twice..."

Was she really pretty much blatantly hitting on him like this? It seemed like the answer was yes.

Well hey, Jim wasn't blind and if she was going to hit on him, he was gonna saunter a little closer to her because he could. And because this was a lot better than going for another freaking run around the island.

He knew the landmarks way too well at this point.

"I bet scene stealing's more fun if you have someone to...play off of," Jim replied, going with the motif. "Doing that by yourself's pretty lonely, isn't it?"

"Well, yeah," Bay said, as she also stepped a bit closer and reached to touch his arm lightly. "Besides, monologues are pretty dull, aren't they? If you don't have a scene partner, there's no way you can create any real drama."

"That what you wanna create? Drama?" Jim asked, lowering his voice a bit. "I kinda wanna create something a little more exciting than that."

"They say comedy's a lot harder than drama," Bay piped up, and wondered why the hell she had said that. She blamed the flutter in her stomach that tone of voice had caused. "I -- mean, in the metaphor. If you mean, like, you and me, right now -- please don't make me say I think we could make beautiful music together."

She stepped back a bit to close the door firmly as she spoke.

"Yeah, but you already said it," Jim said, chuckling and reaching for the hand she had on her arm. Hey, touching was nice but mutual touching when his skin was buzzing like it was? Even better.

"It's okay, I won't tell anyone you said that," he promise with another smile that turned into a smirk at the closing of the door. That was probably for the best. "Right now, the kind of noises I'm imagining? Not really music but pretty good all the same."

"That was really cheesy," Bay laughed. "But mine was worse, so I think we're both safe."

And -- since his hand felt so nice on her skin and all, and since they both seemed to be saying terrible things -- she leaned forward to try to kiss him. She figured it was where they were headed, and it would stop them both from talking for a while. (Besides, she wanted to. She really, really wanted to.)

Jim had always been a fan of kissing and it wasn't like he was going to push her away and suddenly play the shy gentleman or anything like that. Not this week. Not a chance.

If she hadn't kissed him, he would have kissed her so he'd just now be impressed with her initiative. And the way her lips felt so so nice against his. It'd been awhile.

So, kissing? Yeah, he wanted to do that with her too. Thank goodness he hadn't forgotten how to do it during his long layoff.

Okay, Jim clearly knew what he was doing. Even if Bay wasn't hopped up on hormones, this would have been in her top five kisses of all time. (She thought. It wasn't like there was exactly an objective scale for it.)

She pressed ahead with the kissing, bringing her hand up to toy in the cropped strands at the nape of his neck. She'd really, really missed this.

Jim had enough confidence in himself to think he was pretty damn good at this too. He'd done this enough (though not enough times recently, sigh) to have this down to a pretty fine tuned science.

Jim looped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer to his body because, well, girl body against his? Yes, please. Yes, very, very much please.

Hmmm. Boy body against hers? Bay wasn't even going to pretend to resist. She hadn't really had anybody to make out with for practically the entire school year, and now that she was doing it again she realized how much she'd missed it.

She moved her hands to the small of his back and nipped at his lower lip. Not hard, just enough to say hi, I'm here.

[OOC: Night!]

She was definitely there and he was happy about that, oh yes. See now, this was much better than running around the island in a vain attempt to get rid of the restless feeling that had been nagging him. This was much, much better because he was with someone and not alone.

Jim sneaked one of his hands up to her cheek, cradling her face while he kissed her because that was skin there and that was what he wanted to feel right now (along with about a bazillion other things). The nipping at his lip only made him kiss her a little harder.

Bay returned the firmer kiss, murmuring slightly at how nice the hand on her face was. The hand she'd had on his back started to drift downward, resting just below his belt.

Her knees were starting to do their best impersonation of a plate of jello, and she was starting to think vaguely about drifting toward the bed. (As much as she could think, anyhow.)

Edited 2013-04-05 13:21 (UTC)

Bed was going to be a good thing soon. Jim heartily agreed with that though not out loud because he wasn't about to break their kiss. Nope, not happening.

When her hands wandered down to her waist, Jim's hips arched towards her hands just the slightest bit. Maybe he couldn't return the favor without tangling their hands up but he could slide the hand on her cheek into her hair and tangle his fingers in it.

Bay made a little cooing noise at that. She'd always had a thing for having her hair played with, and Jim was taking care of that oh so nicely.

She gripped his hips more firmly as he arched into her hands, considered breaking the kiss to say something, and decided whatever she would have said was absolutely not worth it.

Jim was gonna take the initiative on this one. With his hand still in her hair and his hips pressing against hers hands, he started angling them towards his bed. He knew where it was, after all, and he didn't want them to end up on Jackson's bed no matter how funny that might be.

He kind of wanted to do things on his bed. He gave her hair a gentle tug, just an acknowledgement that he'd picked up on the fact that she liked it while he moved them towards his bed.

"Keep doing that and I'm gonna stick around." Oh, look. Bay found something to say. Not anything terribly brilliant, but she figured brilliance wasn't required when there were much better things to do with your mouth.

She followed along to the bed, grateful for the guidance as to which one was his because there'd definitely been a chance she'd get it wrong. She'd started snaking one of her hands up the back of his shirt as they went. Skin was the best thing ever.

"You're not gonna see me arguing with that if you wanna stay," Jim in between kissing her and sighing at her touch, turning them around so he could sit down first and try and pull her down on top of him. "You should stay. We could make beautiful music together."

Sorry Bay, it'd been funny and he couldn't help himself.

Bay laughed. "He's funny and he kisses good. See, I knew I picked the right scene partner tonight."

She moved almost demurely as she settled onto his lap, one arm still around his neck, and then went to kiss him again.

"And I'm pretty sure you're gonna be thinking that for awhile too," he said, all confidence because that was who he was. He leaned closer to meet her halfway for that kiss and reached for the bottom of her shirt.

Clothes had to start coming off here soon. It was imperative.

"Can't see a reason I'd stop," she agreed, and then her stomach exploded with butterflies as she realized he was trying to take off her shirt. She raised her arms to give him better access, wishing as she did that his shirt would come off soon too. Just in the name of fairness, of course.

Edited 2013-04-06 00:56 (UTC)

That could probably be arranged. And he wasn't shy so he'd probably strip off his shirt if he got too impatient. But first, her shirt. He made quick work of the piece of clothing and tossed it away. Maybe it landed on Jackson's bed, maybe it didn't but it didn't matter.

Because, now, there was a shirtless girl in his lap and he couldn't resist pressing a kiss against her shoulder.

Bay felt like every bit of bare skin was a nerve ending, and she gasped at the speed with which he'd disposed of her shirt (and really, who cared where it had gone? She had other shirts.) and the kiss on her bare shoulder.

Then she dipped her chin so she could focus on his neck. Licking it, kissing, it, nibbling at it ... maybe leaving a bruise or two, just to make things a little more interesting.

Jim tilted his head to the side just a bit to give her more access while he dragged his fingers down her back. She could do whatever the hell she wanted to to his neck. Leave a bruise, lick it, suck it, kiss it, whatever. Jim was a supporter of any and all things.

He breathed quietly, occasionally sighing. His mind wandered to thinking about stripping his shirt off and getting skin against skin. Soon.

Probably his shirt was going to come off sooner rather than later, if Bay had anything to say about it. Which, from the way her hands were working their way under the hem, it seemed she thought she did.

She let one hand make its way between shirt and stomach, feeling to see if his abs were as nice as she thought they might be.

His abs were pretty damn awesome but of course he'd say that. After spending so much of the last few days running, they might even be nicer than usual. And when she touched them? His sighs got a little louder and he wanted his shirt to come off even more than previously.

He wasn't going to ask her to take his shirt off just yet but tease too much longer and he might.

Bay wasn't teasing, she was enjoying taking her time. Good things came to those who wait, all of that.

(Okay, so maybe she was teasing a little.)

She turned to straddle his lap, then worked her hands up under the shirt so her fingers could better explore his stomach and chest.

Jim was just gonna be glad he wasn't ticklish or anything like that. He really didn't need t start giggling while she was touching him. So uncool.

And he'd decided to be selfish just for a minute, letting his hands stay fairly still while hers were on him. He liked being touched too, okay? Especially when it was a girl and she knew what she was doing.

Hmm. Well, if he was going to be patient like that -- Bay paused her fingers in their explorations (which had found verypromising territory) and finally caught hold of the hem all the way to try to yank his shirt over his head. "I shouldn't be the only shirtless one," she said. "It's not fair."

"Hey, I was just waiting for you to take the initiative," Jim said, arms going up to make it a little easier for her to wrangle his shirt off. "A few more seconds and I would have gotten impatient. But I agree, it totally wasn't fair. You should make it fair."

"'swhat I was trying to do," Bay said, and finally managed to get his shirt out of the way and tossed toward Jackson's bed before shooting him a grin of pure triumph. "There. Gender equality."

Well, technically she was still wearing a black-and-pink bra, but -- details.

"Very nicely done," Jim said, taking his hands from around her to give her a round of applause because he could. "If I had a scorecard, I'd give it a ten. And you even aimed for Jackson's bed. You learn fast."

Suck it, Jackson. Not literally.

"But yeah, this is better. Much better."

"Thanks, and you even applauded," Bay sighed in mock humility. "So now I know for sure I'm not a sex comedy extra anymore."

Idly, her fingers traced along his muscles -- up to the nape of his neck, down to his stomach -- as she spoke.

"Laughing at you would have probably been impolite," Jim declared, glancing down at her fingers. His skin buzzed underneath her touch and Jim almost wondered if she could feel that because he damn sure could.

"You're definitely not in a comedy anymore," Jim added after moment. "The other part? I think that can be arranged."

Bay's fingertips were burning hot, but in a way that didn't make her want to pull back at all.

"I think that's an amazing idea," Bay told him, and leaned in for a slow, deep kiss.

Definitely not a comedy anymore.

[FTB?]

That's because this was so, so much better than a comedy. And Jim intended to make this a nice, long...well, it would be nice and long. Jim could promise that.

This was definitely an amazing idea.

[Works for me!]
