Welcome to Gaia! ::

Candace squeaked and giggled as he held her tightly in his arms, cuddling back against Jerry with a delighted purr. He wasn't kicking her out! Yay! She would take this as a good thing. Bad karma was not hitting her! She hadn't done...much wrong! Heh.

The admission of making a mistake and doing something horrible immediately sent Candace's worries into a frenzy. A mistake? A horrible thing? What could he have possibly done that was so horrible!? He was perfect! Her sweetheart! The...the man she had almost cheated on. Her stomach churned with unhappiness. She almost cheated on him. There was no way what he did was cheating but...what could he have done? ******** you, Karma. Candace squeezed his hands. "What happened, honey?"

Jerry suddenly kissed her, and while he never answered her question or told her what horrible mistake he had made she was not about to complain about kisses. Especially right now. Candace purred and returned the kiss, squeezing Jerry's hands and leaning up to deepen the kiss just a little. She would be a good girl. She wouldn't go crazy..not with Jerry.

Hmm..something still seemed off about this. Candace ended the kiss as much as she could allow herself to do, her lips brushing against his as she spoke quietly. "What was that for? You're not usually the one to kiss first." Not that she was complaining! Anything but! In fact she even closed the small gap between them to kiss him again, snuggling comfortably against the man.

Candace grinned. "So being crazy makes you want to kiss me? I guess I can live with that.." He leaned in again and she happily gave him another kiss, her hands squeezing his affectionately. Rough, heated passion was amazing. It was fun, it was exciting! But this was nice too. Just quiet, loving kisses from a man who cared about more than her body. Candace gave him another kiss on that note, letting go of Jerry's hands to cup his cheeks.

His hands moved and she giggled, brushing her lips against the man's and just staying there for now. His hands were on her hips? She couldn't remember a time they were ever there before! Candace was very curious what was making Jerry like this! He began to sing again and she grinned, leaning back just a little and raising a brow. It was a song but...those particular words. They were interesting. "What are you singing, honey?" She asked quietly, leaning in again to steal one more quick kiss. Candace was starved for affection right now, and if Jerry was willing to give it out then she was happy to take all she could get!

He didn't answer her question, he merely kept singing and guided her away from the wall until the back of her calves hit the bed. Surprised, Candace sat down with Jerry's help. What...what was he..? She didn't know this song but she was finding she liked it right now! She returned each kiss he gave her, purring with delight. This was new! Not..to Candace but with Jerry, yes! Man, what was with today? It had quickly gone from just another day to the best day ever for Candace! "Je-Jerry...what are you..?" He kissed her neck and she sighed, gripping his shoulders tightly. She was still feeling very...excited from her meeting with Dr. H earlier on, this was not going to be fair if she got turned down again.

No, Candace. Jerry wasn't like that. This was just...kissing. He just wanted a lot of kisses.

On his bed.

While holding her.

...Best day ever?

Candace kissed the top of his head and pulled off her scarf, tossing it aside and pulling Jerry up for another proper kiss.

Man, the lyrics to this song were certainly something. Did it end with sex? Please say it ended with sex. She already got turned away once she didn't want to end too soon again. Candace was even working on removing Jerry's tied up scarf until he stopped just..everything. He stopped singing, he stopped kissing...he instead whispered something that made her heart stop and her smile fall, staring at Jerry in shock.

Wait. What? When did...what?

"What? I don't...what are you..talking about...when did you...?" Words. What are words. Candace didn't want to use words she wanted to use mind blowing passion. He almost got Harrison killed?

And...why did he think this was a good time to bring it up?!

Today just isn't your day. Atropos chuckled, clearly amused by Candace's misfortune. Candace refused to comment on that, instead pushing herself up to support herself on one elbow while her free hand began to pet his hair, listening to him attempting to explain what he was talking about. The mention of Dr. H made her swallow hard and clear her throat, frowning and pushing away a single thought that tried to float through the forefront of her thoughts. Jerry was in charge! How great! But...but wait. How did he almost get Harrison killed? It still made no sense.

He suddenly began to apologize and buried his face against...her chest.

...Goddamnit.

Clearing her throat and rubbing her lips together a moment before sitting up a little more, hugging Jerry tightly and bowing her head to press kisses against the top of his head. Damnit. Why couldn't he be doing that when he was happy? "Shhh, Jerry. It's okay. I'm sure it wasn't your fault. What are you sorry about? That you couldn't see the future? That you couldn't control everything? My, that sounds rather familiar!" She nudged him a little, reaching down to tip his head back again if he would let her so she could give him a gentle kiss. "I'm sure he won't hold it against you. He'll be fine, honey. The life hunters will take care of him. It's okay." She rocked gently with Jerry in her arms, massaging her fingers against his scalp and murmuring gentle shushing sounds for him. Harrison would be okay, right? She'd have to go check on him.

But Jerry needed her first. He could cry, she didn't mind, but she didn't want to see him cry. She buried her face against his temple. Something, something to comfort him. Anything.

...He did like singing. Maybe a song? Um. She needed something cheerful. Something nice. Something soft and gentle and uplifting, and sweet. But..but she didn't sing...

Candace cupped Jerry's cheek and kissed his temple. "I was a little girl.." Candace's voice was quiet and shy. She ws trying to sing for him how he liked but...ugh. She was singing for someone. He was a music teacher! Candace hated her voice! "Alone in my little world who dreamed of a little home for me..." She pursed her lips a moment. ********. He was going to say her singing sounded terrible and laugh at her. She just knew it.

Harrison 'almost' died. Almost meant..he must be in the infirmary. He'd be okay. She'd go see how he was doing later, but for now there was a man in her arms that needed comforting. It wasn't exactly the most masculine thing but she wouldn't fault him for it, and she wouldn't tell anyone about it either. He didn't laugh or comment negatively on her singing..?

She brushed her lips against his temple as she continued singing, her eyes closed and not even noticing he was watching her. "I played pretend between the trees, and fed my houseguests bark and lea--" He cut her off then with a kiss and she happily accepted it instead of singing more, cupping his cheek. She wasn't even interested in sex right now, she just wanted him to be that happy, sparkly, sickeningly optimistic man she adored.

His hands moved and he hugged her tighter. Huh? Why..why was he...? Candace listened quietly as he spoke about being gad to meet her and she smiled. She knew that! He told her last time and she returned the sentiment. She really was glad she met him. She smiled, playing a bit with his hair.

"It's okay because I know you'll be there."

Those words stabbed her heart and stomach simultaneously with guilt. She..she'd be there. Of course she'd be there. He could...trust ******** Jerry crying? Oh god. Oh god no. Don't cry, Jerry. You'll make her cry if you cry please don't...kisses! Yes! Let's just focus on the kisses. He pulled her down again and she was more than happy to oblige, snuggling close to the man as she leaned in to deepen the kiss. The best solution to easing her guilt and his own was to get their mind off it, right? "Jerry." Candace murmured, her lips brushing his. "I'm sorry.." Wait, did she actually sound sorry just then? s**t. s**t! Save it! Save it quick, Candace! "That...that you had to..you know..." <******** it. Candace kissed him again instead.
