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.
She closes her eyes and steadies herself with her hands against Sable's back.
Sable slides one hand up and down Sin's back, sighing tenderly, and presses a soft kiss atop Sin's head, right between her ears.
"You're -"
I love you.
"Really really good and hot. And I'm really happy I met you. And I want to... get to know you better. So could we move to the bed and... talk a little, and... be together?"
Sable grins warmly and nods. "Gladly, sweet Sin."
I love you too.
"I'm really glad to have met you too."
Sable leads the way to the bed, sits down on it, and tugs Sin down beside her.
Sin settles down next to her and sighs softly.
"I want to meet all of you. Hailey was... It was awkward, meeting her at first, but she fought so fiercely and so bravely for my sake..."
"I think we can manage that. We still have to buy the last few shape slots and load everyone's forms in. Luckily we can pull from our saved forms on our pod, so it shouldn't take long."
"Sounds awkward..."
Hyacinth rests her head on Sable's shoulder and sighs softly.
"Price we pay for expression, I suppose. Forms cost ability points, just like nodes do."
She gasps very lightly at the kiss to her neck, letting her eyes flutter closed for a moment.
She manages to retain enough focus to buy the remaining slots, though, and then pulls Sin up to her lips for a tender kiss.
... then she gets that little grin of hers and puts herself firmly in Sable's lap, straddling her body with a thigh to either side of her waist.
She lets her wings out and wraps them snugly around Sin, her tail looping once around the base of Sin's tail and then coiling possessively around her waist. It's pretty clear what order she's angling for. She deepens the kiss, sighing warmly.
Hyacinth kisses back, and settles in.
Sable is so soft. Her wings are gentle against her, and her tail settles so nicely over her hips...
The base of her tail being sensitive takes her a little off guard, but it's not in a bad way. Quite the opposite, actually.
She tangles her hand in Sable's, fingers intertwined, and slides her thumb slowly across her palm.
Sable mixes gentle little nips into the kiss, softly playful bites to Hyacinth's lower lip, and buries the hand that's not laced with Sin's into her lavender tresses.
This is simple and good. Her nerves sparkle at Sable's touches, those soft nips, the hand against her scalp.
It makes her feel close to Sable.
It makes her feel hungry for her.
She kisses Sable again, and gently moves Sable's hand up, bringing it to rest against her breast.
"Touch me," she murmurs.
"Gladly," she murmurs into the kiss, cupping Sin's breast in a gentle caress, savoring the warmth and softness that fills her palm.
"You're beautiful," she breathes, "and every second touching you is well-spent."
She flushes.
"I don't feel beautiful," she says after a moment. "This body - it helps, it helps a lot, but..."
"But you have so many years of feeling the weight of the other one burdening you, and it takes time to unlearn." She nods softly and strokes Sin's hair. "You're precious. You deserve better than those lingering hurts. You deserve relief. And you deserve to feel the beauty within you."
"Relief, huh?" Hyacinth puts as much of a tease into her voice as she can. Her voice is a little husky, a little raw. She's still not too used to it, but...
She kisses Sable's lips again.
"You certainly gave me that last night."
She grins into the kiss. "First of as many times as you'll let me."
Hyacinth kisses her again. "Tempting. Very tempting."
She leans back a little, trusting to Sable's wings to brace her.
"If you want to make me think I'm beautiful, convince me. Pray to me with your hands, your lips, your tongue. Show me what I'm worth to you. What it means to you to possess me."
