@comeswithblades ยป bicep around both of them, coiled like a snake.
โI donโt think so.~โ He then resumes, leaning downward and intentionally hovering near the bottoms of her soles, to let the polish be. Itโs strictly to get a rise o it of her.
@comeswithblades โLet you go?โ
Christopher asks, as her other foot nails him in his broad shoulder. It only results in his free hand doing the sameโsnatching her by the ankle and pushing both of her feet together until her heels touch, followed by a locking of his bulging ยป
@comeswithblades ยป and starts guiding her foot towards him, enough to begin pulling her towards the edge of the couch.
With an outstretched tongue, he licks the underside of her foot in an act of pure retaliation. All while making full eye contact.
@comeswithblades Christopher keeps doing push-ups for a good long while, hoping that would distract her. But it didnโt.
He turns on his side, eyes lifting upward in awe of her flexibility.
It doesnโt last long, however, as he snags her by the ankle with his heavy hand ยป
@comeswithblades ยป tougher for El to keep steady.
And, possibly, to stay focusedโฆ
As his forearms bend at the elbows, his back muscles contracting only to hoist himself upright again, flushing the veins along his massive wrists.
@comeswithblades Itโs true, sheโs chasing perfection and itโs all for him. Thatโs second on his list of things he hatesโother people being right.
The only way to prove his point, he decides, is to start doing push-ups. Yep, push-ups, right there on the floorโฆ which makes it even ยป
@comeswithblades โI havenโt wobbled once, seriously, I donโt know what youโre talking about.โ He says, clearly bothered.
If thereโs anything he hates, itโs when people underestimate his jackedness.
โYou want to talk about grandpa? Youโre painting those toes at a grandpaโs pace, seriously.โ
@DevoutVendetta ยป he didnโt deserve to.
Mud all over his outfit, shirt torn, he looked like a prehistoric version of himself. His hair hand grown out, long facial hair running down his cheeks and neck.
It wasnโt exactly the kind of place she, or anyone, would want to come to.
@DevoutVendetta ยป any other ideasโthat theyโd figure it out once she could find him. Assuming he wasnโt already deadโฆ
Somehow, despite all of the nightmarish creatures on the deserted land, it seemed Christopher was always doomed to survive even when he didnโt feel ยป
@comeswithblades ยป How to he explain that he didnโt even exchange a single word with his other self before instantly killing him?
โHeโs. I donโt know. Maybe he went to go get a sandwich or something.โ
@comeswithblades โUhmโฆโ
Lips pursed, Christopher automatically looking away as his jaw clenched, a slight tremble in his throat. He clearly looked pretty guilty about somethingโit wouldnโt exactly take a genius to find out what he couldโve been referring to.
โI, uhhโฆ.โ ยป
@comeswithblades ยป a LOT of things.
โLikeโฆ this shirt Iโm wearing. Itโs actually his.โ
It was a tight-fitted collared shirt, with some fancy material. The top buttons were left open. Not usually something her Chris would wear. But he kind of liked it.
@comeswithblades โYeah. Just like me. Butโฆ slightly different.โ
Face hovering inches from her own, he noticed the gears turning in that brain of hers.
โUhmโฆ you seem kinda quiet, El, what are you thinking about, thereโโ It wasnโt a secret that two Christopherโs could do ยป
@comeswithblades ยป her onto the couch. Finally, after their lips break once again, he looks at her with those familiar eyes.
โI met another version ofโฆ me.โ
@comeswithblades It goes on for what felt like hours, but was really a span of several minutesโtheyโd come up for air, one of them would lean back, the other would lean in for more and suffocate the other with more kisses. They took turns.
During this time, heโd spun around and arm-tackled ยป
@comeswithblades Christopher was about to keep arguing, but her hands framing his clean-shaven cheeks and pulling him closer was enough to get him to shut up for now.
He could at least try to forget about it, now, with El alongside him.
Mid-kiss, he found himself reaching down to sweep her ยป
@comeswithblades No clue what sheโs talking about, heโs great at flying under the radar!
โWell, how do you know theyโre not just letting you /think/ that so theyโve got you right where they want you?โ
When theyโd last left off, Chris was pretty paranoid. But it seemed that was more out ยป
