[It's fun and warm and frankly he can't remember the last time he's been so relaxed. Kisses eventually become snuggling on the couch which soon leaves both heroes sleeping soundly, Kara still draped over Barry, her cheek resting on his chest.
Why is there a buzzing in his ear? That's not his alarm.] Whazzt.. [Barry's hand bats at something small and furry perched on the pillow. Furry. Cat. Tiger. A few bleary blinks of his eyes and he confirms that yes indeed, there is a small striped cat licking his forehead.]Mnf.
[Yep. That rum was the best worst idea ever.
Kara. Suddenly Barry is very much awake as remembers. Drinking rum. Kissing Kara. He kissed Kara. He kissed her and now she's asleep on him and oh dear God what did they do last night?]
[Kara has buckets of energy, compared to humans, so she doesn't need as much sleep as they do to survive and thrive. But when she crashes, she crashes like a rock, sleeping soundly atop Barry the whole night. Way more hours than usual but - thanks, Aldebaran, whoever or whatever you are.]
[Once Barry is shifting under her, though, she wakes up, slowly at first until she realizes how lumpy her bed is and then... yup, that's Tiger's butt, right in her face. Not the first time she's woken up to such a sight.] Ugggggh Tiger ge'off. [she throws her curls over her eyes to hide the sunlight streaming in through the windows and tries to go back to sleep]
[that is... until her pillow rises and falls with a quick breath. What the.
oh.
oh no.]
Barry! [she shoots up, knees on either side of Barry's hips, and she sits back on his thighs, staring wide-eyed down at him.] Oh. Oh wow, um. Hi! I guess. Did we -
[she glances down at herself and at Barry. Okay... clothes, she sees clothes. She pats herself up, pants, shirt - her hands land on her breasts without her even thinking about it. Bra. In tact, okay.]
[she should... probably take her hands down.] Oh - shoot! Sorry. Let me just...
[Yep. They were sleeping on one another and his eyes snap fully open as she bolts up. Thankfully she's sitting on his thighs and not.. you know.
Dressed. Yep. Dressed and that's good.
Oh those are hands on breasts and he's just going to look everywhere but there. Finally she hops off and he swings his legs over the side of the couch to sit up, running a hand through his wild hair.
He picks up the bottle of rum and sets it on the coffee table.] Yeah. So last night I guess we, um. I mean I..
[Kara blushed hard, rubbing her lips together. She remembered... most of last night, slowly. It was a little blurry, but there. She crossed her arms over her chest. What if... Okay, she has to figure this out right now because Barry is saying that it was nice - and it was! but what if...]
[she sits down too hard next to Barry, super strength cracking the frame of her couch.] Shoot. [that was the third one]
[she put a hand on Barry's arm] Okay, I... yeah, I totally agree it was nice. Please don't think I don't. I had a really good time, but we were... wow, Barry, we were drunk. Are you sure... are you sure you're okay with what happened? Because I never would have... I mean. It's not like you could really consent, so...
[Most of last night is still filtering in and what Barry remembers? It was really nice. Shared laughter, soft lips, feeling normal even if they were drinking rum that would kill an ordinary human ten times over.
He startles a bit at the crack. Good grief. And he thought he was hard on furniture.
Barry chews absently on the corner of his thumbnail as she talks and he shakes his head.] Am I okay with kissing you? Yeah. I am. I don't regret it one bit. You're.. you're incredible. You're sweet and brave and smart and I am totally babbling again.
[Deep breath. Focus, Allen.] We didn't get any further than that and I'm glad. I mean, yeah, we were drunk, but we were smart enough not to let things get too far before we fell asleep.
Smart, maybe, but drunk and sleepy. I told you Aldebaran rum makes me sleep like [she snaps] that.
I'm just scared of what could have happened, I guess. But... yeah, I'm glad we... we stopped. [she licked over her lips, looking up at him again] So, we're both 100% sure that everything that happened was okay?
[Barry nods and after a moment's hesitation, reaches over to take her hand in his.] We're good. It was great, really.
Um. It was so great that maybe next time we could try it without the rum? Like, it was fun getting drunk, don't get me wrong, but maybe I could take you out on a date? [Wow. Super smooth, Barry. Good job.]
Barry's grin is immediate and bright. She said yes.] Well who's to say we can split it up? A little time on your Earth, then maybe you can visit mine? I know some great places we can check out.
