Oh, there was a time when she'd lie in the grass, and imagine the places she'd never go

[Racing down the interstate as fast as they fucking can, Johnnie tugs Chrissy closer and ducks low over his bike. They're streamlined now, they'll pick up just a little bit more speed, and then they can outride this giant evil fucking wasp for sure -

His eyes blink slowly against the light in the room, and then he frowns and lifts his pillow from under his head and flings it at the alarm clock on the bedside table. That shouldn't work, except that it falls off the table and unplugs in the process, leaving the room blissfully silent.

And now he doesn't have a pillow. Shit.]


Ugh. Hey, you up?

[Like Chrissy could sleep through that.

Soon enough though, he rolls on out of bed, gets the water going, tugs fresh clean clothing out of his bag, then checks on that shower. Yep, nice and hot. Time to get clean and ready for the day.]


Whatcha think? Wanna check out the cafe for breakfast? Maybe we can make 'em do some eggs an' pancakes even though they're gonna say it's dinner only now. I hate when places do that, it's such fuckin' bullshit.

[He's so good at filling her with confidence and helping her come to terms with the reality of situations. Johnnie doesn't dwell, doesn't let himself be sad about most things. But he's okay with letting her work through her thoughts and her emotions, and doesn't ever tell her he doesn't have the time to listen to what she's feeling.

The silence that lapses between them ins't awkward because it's much needed for her to sort through her thoughts. Her new life comes with some new rules and boundaries, and she realizes that there's a way to keep her World Ender things separate from music.
]

I'll go downtown and invite them myself, and see if they stick around.

[That's an easy enough decision to eventually come to, and it's one that she can live with and look forward to.]

Anyone that doesn't want to be around me because of your band, or the group I belong to isn't really worth my time.

[He smiles as she seems to come to a decision, then rubs her back before offering her the last little stubby end of the joint. Someone's gotta finish it, and he has a hot dog to eat.]

Yeah, pretty much. May as well give 'em a chance, though, right? You don't gotta apologize for who you are, they just gotta decide what they think. An' if they're your friends, they're welcome to hang out.

[He shrugs. Anyone is welcome to come to a show. The more the merrier, in fact! Friends especially so, and friends who come time after time and maybe stop by afterward with free drinks for the band, well, those are the best sort of friends, but now he's getting well ahead of the topic at hand.]

[Well, if he's going to offer it, she's definitely going to smoke it. She can't let it go to waste when he has a weenie to put in his mouth.]

Yeah, we'll see what happens!

[She sounds generally mellow and cheerful at least, not all upset or worked up over something that doesn't really matter in the long run. All that she really cares about now is this stretch of time they have together.]

What do you want to do after we finish eating? It's probably late, but I'm not tired yet.
phantomrider: (i get a thrill)
Dec. 22nd, 2023 04:03 am (UTC)
Mmmm...

[Hold on, he'll think about that while he eats his hot dog and tries not to laugh about it. It's normal, he's eating it normally, but the memory of their stupid jokes will haunt him every time he eats one for a while.]

Well, we can sort some a' this stuff better, make sure the cold shit gets into that cooler you picked up. An' then... Get my guitar out? Or play a game? I guess some a' the stuff we wanna do really is gonna be better when it's day.

[But music, games, looking for shooting stars, all that is nice around the fire and he's sure not ready to sleep yet either.]

[The joint is finished off, and the tiny nub is pressed down into the dirt to be disposed of. All of those things sound good to her, a nice quiet night together isn't something they do too often. Sure, they set a town on fire and stole a lot earlier. But that was then and this is now. It's like they have a fresh slate, and they're officially on their best camping behavior.]

Yeah, let's get everything set up and then we can do some fun things until we're both ready to pick up where we left off in the car.

[Her eyebrows waggle at that suggestion, and she laughs as she moves to stand up. She's done eating, so she might as well get started putting things in the cooler so they don't spoil. The bag of marshmallows are stumbled upon, and she decides that roasting a couple of those sound a lot better than organizing, so she opens the bag and brings them to be skewered and put in the fire.

Sure, they'll taste a little like hot dog. But that's okay. Roasted marshmallows are delicious.
]


phantomrider: (what is life)
Dec. 22nd, 2023 04:38 am (UTC)
Oh, I didn't forget about that, believe me. At some point we gotta make sure that tent holds both of us with the sleeping bags zipped together.

[He's just pretty sure that once they're in there he won't want to get up and out of the cozy sleeping bag and also out of her arms, so, maybe better to wait. Maybe. He's feeling pleasantly hazy with weed and everything sounds pretty nice, and if they want to pick up where they left off before they even get into that tent, well, he won't complain.

That sugar smells good too, and once he swallows down his last bite of hot dog he's going for marshmallows also. He almost immediately catches his on fire, though, and waves it aggressively to put it out, laughing.]


Aw, fuck. Oh well, we got a ton a' these.

[And burned sugar while high actually tastes really fucking good, he's decided just now, once he's blown that molten gooey nugget to the point where he can get it in his mouth.]
cheerleader: (cornballer3)
Dec. 22nd, 2023 05:05 am (UTC)
They're so good when they're burned like that!

[Chrissy has a roasted marshmallow preference, and that is absolutely charred. Both of hers are pulled out of the flames on fire, and she watches them burn and turns the skewer so it blackens the marshmallows as evenly as possible. After she blows them out, they go right into her mouth with no regard to how hot they must be.

Once she's swallowed down her mouthful, she decides that the best way to top off that kind of dessert is with a kiss. That way she can taste the marshmallow on him too. She pulls back with her tongue licking at her lips.
]

Come on, let's finish getting things set up and then we have the rest of the night to do whatever we want.

[That is entirely said to motivate herself and not meant to tell him what to do.]
phantomrider: (when you stand on the edge)
Dec. 22nd, 2023 05:12 am (UTC)
You sure you wanna? 'Cause you taste so damn sweet, maybe you'd better stay right here for a minute.

[Yeah, he'd suggested organizing and yeah, he really doesn't want to bother. Before, it seemed reasonable to wait until they had a fire going to make it easier to see and now it seems reasonable to wait because she's warm and she tastes good and won't it be even easier to put things where they want them when it's daylight? Or just get things as they need them?

He leans in for another kiss as he loops his arms around her, then grins as he nibbles at her neck, remembering the vampire thing from earlier.]


How 'bout... I keep you here for a bit, then we just make sure the food's all packed away in the trunk so fuckin' desert bears don't get at it while we're asleep.
cheerleader: (0291)
Dec. 22nd, 2023 05:31 am (UTC)
[Oh, so now he wants to ditch the idea of getting organized. She can't say that she argues with his logic. Why do work now when they can put it off and enjoy each other instead? The second he starts nibbling at her neck she sighs happily. He makes the mistake of mentioning bears though, and she gasps she leans back and looks excited for a second.]

So there are bears here?

[She really hopes that there are. It would be fun to get to see one. Not so much fun to have one eat their food, so they probably should get it packed away later. It's not like a bear is stupid enough to come prowling when two people are going at it outside.

So she shrugs and leans back in, hand cupping his cheek as she kisses him. It draws out and she winds up shifting so she's straddling his lap. That's much more comfortable than being all the way over beside him. On top of him is far more satisfying.
]
phantomrider: (only visions)
Dec. 22nd, 2023 05:41 am (UTC)
Baby girl, I got no clue.

[The actual bears aren't the point, there could be all sorts of animals around. There better be, actually, because shooting one and cooking it over the fire sounds cool. Better be some kind of animal. Bears are optional.

With her now on his lap, he runs a hand up her back, under her shirt, while the fingers of his other hand dip lower under the waistband of her panties. But his focus is mainly on his lips, on enjoying the soft, smooth skin of her neck and her jaw and then across to her mouth again, all augmented by his pleasant buzz of a high.]


First night out camping, I feel like I gotta make it a real fun one. Did we grab chocolate syrup?

[See, that's the real reason they should organize at least the food, things got kind of chaotic in that grocery run and he's not sure what all they even have, but she'd mentioned chocolate and now he's hoping for it just so he can lick it off her like she's his own best campfire s'more.]
cheerleader: (129)
Dec. 22nd, 2023 05:52 am (UTC)
Oh yeah, I remember grabbing it. Hold on a minute.

[She just has to find where it is. After one more kiss, she reluctantly pulls herself out of his lap, and pokes at the tip of his nose.]

You stay right there. Think sexy thoughts.

[He better be thinking of lots of sexy things, because it winds up taking her a couple of minutes to find the chocolate syrup. But it's there in the trunk still, and she grabs it and holds it up above her head like a trophy as she jogs back to the fire. It's passed off to him, but rather than get back on his lap she stands in front of him, biting at her lip.]
phantomrider: (and you wake up dead)
Dec. 22nd, 2023 05:59 am (UTC)
[Oh, he can think sexy thoughts, no problem. He's really good at that, actually, to the point where between those thoughts and the heat of the fire and the lingering sensation of her sitting in his lap where he just knows she'll be returning, his jeans are feeling a little too restrictive.

He also really likes the idea that she thinks he's especially attractive in the firelight, so maybe he ought to make use of that. He watches her moving around over by the car, and then starts pulling off his jacket as she comes back, letting it sink down to the dirt behind him.

And now what? He takes the syrup from her, and casts her a cocky smile.]


What's that look about? We forget somethin'?
cheerleader: (016)
Dec. 22nd, 2023 06:24 am (UTC)
Nuh-uh.

[She's still biting at her lip as she shakes her head, and sways a little. It's hard not to admire the sight of him in the glow of the fire.]

I just like how you look in the firelight is all.

[That confident smile on his face makes her legs feel all weak, and she gets that smitten grin on her face as she stares at him for a few seconds longer. It doesn't take her long to find her footing and she steps forward, hands bracing against his shoulders as she shifts to straddle his lap once again.]
phantomrider: (oh little darlin')
Dec. 22nd, 2023 06:36 am (UTC)
[He chuckles quietly at that as he kisses her again, this time running a hand up her belly and chest until he can knead at one of her breasts.

Somehow in his slightly high brain his plans for the immediate present keep changing. First there was organizing things, then there was delaying that for a few minutes to make out, and now he's absolutely certain that he can't just stop at making out only. No way. Not with her skin all warm and golden by the fire, not with her here sitting with her legs spread over his lap, and definitely not now that she's brought the chocolate syrup over.

There's a brief pause where he reaches down and leans to move that syrup closer to the fire. Might as well warm it up for her.]


You look like you stepped right outta some fairytale yourself, milagrita, your hair's all spun gold. Can't wait to lay you down by this fire an' lick chocolate off every part of you.
cheerleader: (Default)
Dec. 22nd, 2023 04:23 pm (UTC)
[Her chuckle is relaxed, but she glances back down at the ground. Hopefully there's a lake or pond or something they can bathe in tomorrow, because her hair is about to be a mess. That's fine though, she's all for it when the time comes. He'll have to wait for her to get her fill of making out though, and letting her hands roam across his clothed body.

In the mix of all that, her jacket comes off along with her shirt, and after she rises up to get her jeans off she's very content to straddle only one of his legs. That's all the better to rock and grind against and really get some friction going, though she belatedly thinks she's going to leave a nice little wet spot on his jeans.

Maybe they should've grabbed some laundry soap at the grocery store too.

Oh well.

There's no time for thoughts about getting clean, not when she's softly gasping and sighing as she rides his leg while she kisses him until her breath is stolen away from her. It's when she pauses in seeking out that delicious friction that she guides his hand up to touch at her breast once again, and she reverently breathes out his name.
]

I'll be your milagrita anytime, but tonight I wanna be your fairytale princess.

[The fire's making her nice and warm and pink, and her hair is all silken gold. If that doesn't make her as good as a princess, she doesn't know what will.]
phantomrider: (real or imagined)
Dec. 22nd, 2023 08:49 pm (UTC)
Fairytale princess it is.

[All red-gold and absolutely desperate for him. He watches in smug silence at how the light dances across her skin, now bare from the waist up. He can feel that wetness against his leg, and grins as he massages her breast while settling the fingers of his other hand on her hip to help push and pull and drag her against his leg.

Maybe he shouldn't be smug, shouldn't be cocky about this, but hell, just looking at her, she could have any guy she wanted. She didn't have the confidence, once upon a time, but she does now, and she still wants him, and she should because he's a pretty damn fine catch himself, he'd like to think. So really, he has plenty of reason for that smirk he wears as he watches her, and as she moves against him, and especially as he pulls back to tug off his shirt and then clasps her close to his bare chest while she gets kisses firm enough to swell those pretty lips of hers.]


Princess of the desert, all gold an' fire. I'm gonna find a spot for you here, bet the sand's nice an' warm.

[Sand, or dirt, but "sand" sounds nicer. There's something so fucking hot about just fucking in the wide open under the sky. Nobody's out here to bother them.

He curls his arms around her butt like he's going to lift her up as he stands, himself the fairytale prince, but it turns out that that's way harder than it should be and she'll have to help by standing while he snickers to himself. But there's a nice clear spot here next to them, once he's kicked some rocks aside with his toe, and then he tugs her down with him until she's on the ground and he's tracing teeth and lips and tongue against her ribs and belly.]
cheerleader: (Default)
Dec. 22nd, 2023 10:46 pm (UTC)
[There's a split second where she worries she's too heavy, even with as skin and bones as she is. He can't lift her up when he stands, and his light laughter makes her turn bright pink. But she gets up on her feet well enough, and all too soon his questing mouth makes her forget all about being anything but perfect for him.

He knows exactly where to lick, where to apply a graze of his teeth, and the exact spots that make her gasp. Her fingers find his hair and gently work through it, soft and affectionate.
]

It's nice and warm, but it could probably be a little warmer.

[Her hands trace down his shoulders and what she can reach on his back, seeking more warmth and contact.]
phantomrider: (when you stand on the edge)
Dec. 22nd, 2023 11:00 pm (UTC)
Gettin' there. Gonna be a little cooler first 'cause I gotta get your pants off you.

[And maybe it's rude and annoying but he's actually going to keep his on for a few minutes, because there's still chocolate syrup to play with and having denim over his knees while scrambling around sounds helpful.

Her shoes come off readily, and then he kisses her while working the button and zipper of her pants undone before pulling those off along with her panties. There, now she's really all bare skin and beautiful. He pauses to admire her in the golden light, trailing a hand down her chest and belly as he stares, almost transfixed. But it lasts all of a second or two before he grins and turns away to grab that syrup bottle.]


Glad I didn't go too crazy on the marshmallows, this is a way better dessert.

[He pours a line of it between her breasts, then swipes a finger through the chocolate and licks it off, like she needs the extra little bit of show before he dips his head down to run his tongue across her skin and clean up every drop.]
cheerleader: (chrissy52)
Dec. 23rd, 2023 12:57 am (UTC)
[It's a little weird to be laying bare ass naked in the dirt sand, but she's high enough that everything feels tingly and warm and fun. Besides, she's so transfixed by the way he looks towering up above her that she just smiles up at him and laughs in delight.

Of course, he gets that bottle of chocolate syrup open and her laughter abruptly fades, and she admires the sight of him licking his finger. He's always captivating to her, but in the fire's glow he looks like a...

No, not a prince.

Something more than that. He looks like one of those Gods she learned about in school. Striking and confident and so in control. The thought makes her snicker, though when he takes to licking up the trail he's left against her skin she sucks in a sharp breath of air. Her stomach sinks inward as she does, and it's held there, breath still as she enjoys the sensation. He leaves goosebumps in his wake, and she feels herself blushing as her nipples are hardening all on their own, just from arousal and exposure to the nighttime air.
]

I think you should have seconds.

[Just so he can have his fill. Not at all because she wants his mouth all over her. Nope.]
phantomrider: (who am I?)
Dec. 23rd, 2023 07:18 pm (UTC)
I think I better.

[An easy agreement, since he was planning to anyway. And how could he not? She's all laid bare and beautiful for him and so damn arousing even without the chocolate, but then you add sugar to the mix, and, well. He's hooked. He'd probably do this until he was sick from the sugar overload, because she's too fucking irresistible.

He tips the bottle over one of her breasts, then licks up the chocolate that runs down the curve of soft skin before it has the chance to run off into the sand. Grinning, he shifts downward, pouring a drizzle in a circle around her belly button, and then slowly laps up every drop. And when she's free of chocolate his mouth continues working her skin anyway as he kisses and nibbles along a hipbone.]


Baby girl, you taste so damn good. You wanna have a turn?

[He's having fun, he can definitely keep doing this, but just as exciting is the idea of her getting to lick chocolate off of him, and so he smiles up at her from his position between her legs, chin resting teasingly right atop her pubic bone, as he reaches forward to set the bottle next to her.]
cheerleader: (chrissy42)
Dec. 23rd, 2023 08:28 pm (UTC)
[There's a slight moral dilemma going through her right now. On one hand, he's really good with his mouth and she wants him to keep licking chocolate off of her. On the other, she really loves it when she gets to have her mouth on him. And she does enjoy some chocolate. The way he's smiling up at her right now is also irresistible.

Her laughter is a little breathless but warm, and she takes a second to caress his cheek before reaching up to run her fingers through his hair.
]

Let's switch places. I want some chocolate too.

[She waits for him to sit up before doing the same, and grabs the bottle of chocolate syrup. It's a little warm to the touch thanks to his hands and being by the fire, and she smiles as she passes it between both of her hands before giving his chest a gentle shove.

Once he obliges and is the one laying back, she takes a few seconds to admire the sight of him.
]

I guess I should've told you to take your pants off first.

[She at least helps him with getting his shoes off, laughing as she tosses them to the side.]

Sit up and do that so I can get my mouth all over you, baby.
phantomrider: (i get a thrill)
Dec. 23rd, 2023 08:40 pm (UTC)
Thought maybe you'd have more fun if you got to help out.

[How many times has he tried to do something like get clothes off or wash his own hair without her shooing his hands away so she can do it herself? But he just laughs and gladly obliges, as he unfastens his jeans and then gets those and his underwear off his hips and kicks them aside - and then quickly reaches forward to rescue them from the fire because yeah one leg definitely made its way in past that ring of rocks. Oh well, one little singe to add to the rest.

But that done, he reclines back with a smile, watching her, and then the fire. He stretches his arms up over his head, totally content to lay here naked by the fire, even if the sand is a little gritty and is definitely going to stick all over his greased hair.]


All yours, princess.
cheerleader: (cornballer3)
Dec. 23rd, 2023 09:19 pm (UTC)
[It's nice to get a chance to just watch him undress. She sits back and admires him, and waits for him to settle before approaching him on her knees. The ground is rough on them, but she ignores the slight irritation in favor of curling down close enough that she can kiss him. There's no chocolate involved yet, but she still takes the time to enjoy a little treat before she starts to pour. ]

You taste so good even without the chocolate, but -

[Well, it's time for some of that now.

She makes a show of thinking where to pour, hmm-ing as she looks him over. She decides to start with just a small drizzle, right where his Adam's apple is. It's silly and makes her laugh, but the slow swipe of her tongue over the area gives her enough time to decide that she wants to pour it over his chest next. The bottle is angled so it pours and dribbles down over one of his nipples. She makes sure to really take her time licking and sucking it off of him, and uses her teeth to coax his nipple to hardness.

The other side gets the same treatment, and since she's feeling a little greedy she decides to pour it one last time over his stomach, which she waits until it trickles down his side before dipping down to lick up and clean off.
]

There. I think you taste even better when you're so sweet.
phantomrider: (what is life)
Dec. 23rd, 2023 09:42 pm (UTC)
[Sometimes it feels incredible, sometimes it just tickles - the latter moreso when she pours chocolate onto him, though, because her tongue definitely sends jolts of arousal straight down to his groin. By the time she's worked her way down to his stomach, he's leaning up just enough on his elbows to watch her, unconsciously licking his lips as hers brush across his skin and finding himself silently urging that mouth toward his growing erection.]

See? Who needs s'mores when we got this. Chocolate, graham cracker, an' my pretty little marshmallow.

[He laughs at his excessively stupid joke, thanks no doubt to the weed making him a little extra-dumb, then reaches to cup her cheek and pull her upward toward him as he leans forward for a kiss.]

Mmm, princess, I could eat you right up. Why don't you come on back down here an' let me treat you?

[Exactly how, he's not sure, but he sits up and guides her into switching places again so he can settle on top of her with a kiss.]
cheerleader: (chrissy50)
Dec. 23rd, 2023 10:05 pm (UTC)
[She's his pretty little marshmallow princess, of course she deserves to be treated. She's easily guided back up, and catches his lips in a quick kiss as they switch places. He's right back in over her with another kiss, one that she gladly drinks in. It puts a smile on her face, and she urges him in for one more before she lets him have his fun spoiling her with attention.]

What kind of treat are you thinking?

[He could just surprise her, sure. But she likes hearing him say dirty things that make her blush. Her hand rubs up and down along his arm, like it's going to coax the filthy things right out of him.]
