I did. And I didn't punch anybody for it either.

( Not that she would. Clarice is a part of this now. If someone needed it, she would have offered it up. Hell, she'd probably give the shirt off her back. She's just used to acting a certain way. )

Actually, I kind of commandeered some sort of closet. It was full of shelving and junk and I mostly got it cleared. I couldn't sleep, so --. ( Shrugging her other shoulder. ) And I think everyone's okay. We can try and figure out arrangements better tomorrow. I made sure Marcos come someplace too but I don't know if he's going to use it much. I kind of thought -- you know, it's a bit of a squeeze and everything, but if you wanted to share with me we could make it work. ( She's actually blushing a little, so it's good that it's dark. ) I mean, we can take it in turns, or -- you know.

John --.

( Shifting so she can look at him. ) If you really don't want to, that's fine. But if you're saying no because you think you should then stop. ( Frowning at him. ) Listen, I --. I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking of you up here, and I'd rather you were where I could see you anyway. So let me do this. Let me take care of you.

( Zingo follows them down the stairs, but instead of coming with them she trots down the hallway. Clarice knows she'll be safe here at least, she'll probably go and find Marco. ) I guess she didn't think much of my box bed idea.

( Lacing their fingers together, she tugs John down the corridor to where she stops at a door. Clarice nudges it open, handle creaky, and then peers into the gloom with John. ) So I really wasn't lying about it being a closet. ( She's wedged a cot up against the back wall and there's a light burning, but it probably looks more cramped than it does cosy. ) But it has a door.

( A pause. ) And me.

( She takes him further into the "room". At least they're able to both stand inside it. )

So it's a tight squeeze.

( Clarice is ridiculously nervous about this. Sure, she shared a bed with him the night before but somehow that feels like it was years ago instead of just a handful of hours. Part of her doesn't know how the others have done this for so long, already she's pretty much aged prematurely.

She won't let the anxiety stop her though. Instead she guides him to the cot, firm insistence in her voice as she presses a palm to his shoulder.
) Sit.

( When he does, she kneels down to start unlacing his heavy combat boots. Clarice is careful as she moves, not looking at him. She wants to help him and maybe it's a little weird to be tugging his boots off, but she's doing it anyway. The first one gets placed neatly beside the bed, the laces tucked so that if he has to run they're there and ready. )

( She goes with the tug easily, her knees pressed at each side of his thighs where they dig into the cot mattress. Her hands find his face, frame them as she leans in to kiss him. It's slow, lingering, her weight against his, her thumb tracing the line of his cheekbone. She hasn't felt like this before and it's terrifying, but the relief that floods through her body at being allowed this is stronger than her fear.

Maybe it's selfish, but when she deepens the kiss she feels like she can survive again, her hands moving up to push into his hair, curling her fingers because she needs to hold on to him.

It doesn't last long. When John parts his lips on a sigh, Clarice deepens what might have been almost chaste. She can't help herself, fingers stroking lightly against his scalp, easing his head back, as she pulls his bottom lip between her own. When Clarice moans softly her entire body shivers with it, urgency licking along her bones.

And then she pulls back, flushed and her bright green eyes searching his face.
) Sorry. ( She shouldn't be pushing him, she just --. She wants. )

Because --. ( Because she's worried she's taking advantage of him, because he's tired, because Lorna's gone, because this a terrible time to do this. Clarice bites her own lip, teeth making the colour go pale. ) Just, because.

( She's in his lap now, her hands are still in his hair, and he looks like that. ) You can tell me to stop. We can sleep. But if you don't then I'm going to kiss you again and I don't think I'll be able to stop.

( It's painfully honest, her chest heaving with each breath because she's losing her mind. )

( The laugh of relief that his words pull from her is quickly smothered when she leans back in. This time she doesn't try to tame her kisses, letting the hunger and want finally free from the cage she'd housed it in. Her hands move back to his hair, running her fingers through it before curving a palm against his throat. When she shifts, it's to get closer this time, the only thing between them are their clothes and he feels real and solid against her.

He's right there, and it's all she needs now.

Her heart is racing in her chest, a frantic flutter that makes her feel like she's something otherworldly. Clarice's hands shift, flatten against his shoulders and then drag down, over his sides, greedy fingers slipping under the hem just so she can feel his skin.

Why do you think I decided to sleep in a closet?

( Because it did have a key and she'd pocketed it earlier. She can't stop looking at him, her expression caught between longing and something close to bashful. She hadn't assumed, but the thought had occurred to her. Maybe that was just as bad.

Untangling herself from him, Clarice moves the few short steps it takes the get the key into the lock, turning it so that if anyone did try to get in they'd have time. When that's done she's kicking her own boots off and returning to him, leaning in to press her lips to his forehead, the side of his nose, his mouth. She can't quite keep the jumble of thoughts straight in her head, so she lets instinct take over.
)

Lie down?

( It's a suggestion but there's something warm in it. )

( She nudges his knees apart when she climbs on top of the cot, sitting between his thighs. She wasn't wrong, it's definitely going to be a squeeze when they finally do sleep but part of her doesn't care. She wants him with her. They'll work it out.

For now, Clarice only looks at him, her fingers moving to sweep his fringe back from his forehead. He's so beautiful it physically pains her, his dark eyes and the line of his jaw and his mouth. She wants him so much it feels like something impossible just to start. But then she puts her hands on him again, running them down over his sides and along the strip of skin at the hem of his shirt, intent clearly written on her face.

She tugs, until he leans up on his elbows, until she can pull his shirt up and over his head. She still doesn't want to rush, waiting until he's lain back down to trace her touch along his clavicle, the centre of his ribcage. Clarice's hands frame him and she rubs the flat of her thumb against each nipple, just letting herself touch.
)

You're amazing.

( It's a whisper, she just can't keep the thought in. )

( Clarice peels her t-shirt off without comment, and then pauses for a second before she reaches behind her back to unhook her bra. It falls away easily, her nipples already hard, skin covered in goosebumps. She's clearly already affected, they both are. Maybe that's why she wants this with him. They're the same, this means the same to both of them. )

So polite.

( Her voice sounds teasing, but there's nothing to mask the raw emotion in her face. Clarice curls her fingers around his wrists then lifts them, placing them on her chest and covering his with her own palms. She squeezes his hand, rolling her hips unconsciously. It's instinct, and need, and the inability to still herself. )

You can have whatever you want, John.

( She lets go of his hands to dig her fingers into his shoulders, responding to the kiss with equal fervour. Clarice feels like she's electric, teasing his tongue with her own. Hips pressing together, she drags her hands down his back, not scratching but insistent and firm, mapping out the shape of his body. She wants to touch him everywhere, tracing the notches in his spine as they kiss.

She wants so much more.

Panting against his mouth, her fingers dip in the gap at the back of his jeans, her teeth teasing his bottom lip before she drags her tongue along it soothingly. Rocking against him, she drags her mouth against his jaw, pulling the skin there in a bite.
) John. ( It's helplessly murmured against his skin, her hands trembling she gets them on his waistband. )

I --. ( Flushing. ) I want to --. This is okay?

( Clarice pulls away, shifting until she's got enough room to undo the fly on his jeans, still trembling when she's tugging the zipper down. It's nervous and it's wanting and it's too much and she can't help but make a small, someone wrecked sound in the back of her throat. )

Lift your hips for me.

( He does and she pulls the denim over his hips and then swears colourfully, flinging her legs off the cot so she can stand free them. Then she's tugging on her own, dark hair falling down around her as she struggles with them. )

This is the least sexy I have ever been.

From: [personal profile] viatorius
( Her inhale is sharp, goosebumps following the wake of his touch. Her eyes close for a second, heart lurching in her chest. He's so gentle and she's not sure how to deal with that. This isn't just sex for sex's sake, she's not trying to navigate the possibility of being in love. She is and it feels monumental in a way she doesn't have the words for.

Her fingers curl around his jaw, tipping his head up so she can kiss him from where she stands. It's softer than the others, something delicate and fragile in the way she touches him. Her hands are insistent when they push him back again, when she climbs to straddle him. They're only separated by thin fabric now, Clarice can feel the shape of him where they press together. She's sure he can feel the heat between her thighs too. It's instinct to rock her hips slowly against his, even as she's moving to kiss his throat, teasing his skin into a bruise that won't really come. She's falling apart and it feels amazing.

It's funny. I know what's coming, but I feel more alive than ever -- as if my life finally counts for something.
