[ she might have a retort for that very, very dumb joke if she wasn't still riding out the aftershocks, her mind taking its time to clear and her body still sensitive and very much aware of where his fingers still are. as it is, she rolls her eyes before swinging her leg over his hip, tracing her foot back and forth over his calf. from the shift in position she can feel him hard against the inside of her thigh, and her heartbeat races in her throat. ]
I don't suppose you've prepared for this kind of thing?
[ condoms aren't exactly easy to come by in their situation. ]
[ Well, that's awkward. Not the position, or the moment, just - the question, and what it implies. Because John does have condoms, and did prepare for such moments, but not... for Max in particular. Which he is sure she doesn't exactly mind, but it's still not something he really wants to visit, right now.
Still, he reaches out to the pillow, hand digging on the inside of the pillowcase, until he pulls out a condom, holding it out between two fingers. ]
Have to hide them from thieving teenagers.
[ he should probably give them access rather than risk teenage pregnancies in the Underground, thinking about it... ]
Marcos always buys them whenever he goes into town. Which sounds weirder than it is, honestly.
[ given that she's recently confessed her own tragic, doomed love story to him earlier in the day, she's not going to care much about them not being intended for her. she knows it's a possibility; the transgenics and mutants have only recently formed a partnership and she hasn't been running with them for that long, comparatively. (if whoever they were for becomes an issue in the future, she might care, but she doesn't really want to think about things like that, either.)
she raises an eyebrow at the hiding place, but it makes sense. especially if there's enough teenagers willing to break in to steal them to warrant one. ]
Are they for everyone?
[ it's only weird if he's stealing them from marcos. ]
Yeah, they are. I'm not stealing them from him, if that's what you're thinking.
[ If John thinks about it, he's pretty sure that Lorna and Marcos aren't exactly depleting the supply that Marcos likes to buy. Babies don't happen by magic.
Not that John wants to think about it. ]
He just wants everybody to be safe, because we do have an amount of teenagers around here.
[ He almost adds that some people don't want to have mutant kids in the environment they live in. But, while valid, that is too somber a thought for right now. ]
Smart. [ especially since teenagers aren't the only ones who need them, as made evident by their current activities.
the thought of bringing a kid into the world, especially with mutants and transgenics being as hunted as they are, is terrifying. she doesn't know how marcos and lorna are handling it, or how gem is. but then gem hadn't really had a choice, and that is really something she doesn't want to think about at the moment.
with her free hand, she reaches forward and plucks the condom from between his fingers, raising her eyebrows as she meets his eyes again. ]
[ John smiles, looking down for a second, eyes traveling over her body, his hair moving forward. He pushes it back as he leans over Max again, kissing her, deep and slow, gentle. ]
Think this'd be happening if we didn't get stuck in this truck earlier?
[ it's an honest response to an honest question. but as he starts kissing her again, slow and deep and reverent, she's very, very glad they don't have to find out. ]
