Nevada sniffled the remainder of her cold away, sitting cross legged on Stormy's bed where she had returned after three nights of being at Otto's and Tuck's and Alaska's. Because apparently when Nevada was sick, she made sure to be sick with OTHER sick people. Although Otto was full hunter so he WASN'T sick but....
ANYWHO....This wasn't about Nevada, this was about her adorable and cute roommate who had stayed at a very cute and very gentlemanly man's house and Nevada wanted details okay.
She also wanted to hear what her roomie had to say on things.
"Sooooooooo........" She held her arms out for Stormy, "Tell me about your night with Gale pet?" Cut to the chase. hammer to the nail. No beating around the bush for this one. "And also how you're doing from the mission. It was a terrible mission." TERRIBUL MISSION. BUT YAY GALE AND STORMY THINGS!!!!

It was good of Nevada to be direct, because Stormy was doing absolutely nothing to hide her feelings on the matter anyway. While normally dreamy anyway, she had started smiling more, even if it was to herself--like she had a secret to hold.
She was, however, still sick. And feeling worse really, in comparison to the beginning. Stormy spent most of the day sleeping, eating half-asleep, reading, texting, and sleeping some more. Training wasn't considered at this point, not when her head felt as heavy as lead and her limbs creaked after too much effort. It was her excuse not to physically talk to someone either, as her throat was sore as all hell and made her hated existing, let alone swallowing.
But today was not a day to nap away. Today was Talk To Your Sister Day. And Stormy definitely wanted to chat with Nevada on a few things.
"It was nice~" she said simply, her hands clasped in her lap as she sat across from Nevada on the bed. "He gave me soup like I said."
And she was absolutely leading her along with crumbs.
"I feel like someone's stuff my ears with cotton and my head with those bubble wrapper things you can pop, which is weird because it's like feeling soft and feeling ready to burst at the same time, if that makes any sense. Also, my throat hurtssssss," Stormy whined. "What about you? I hope you weren't too lonely while I was gone."

It was because of all those little secret smiles and stuff that made Nevada curious. She kept her gaze friendly, if not a bit lazy, eyes a bit droopy like she usually did. BUT BREADCRUMBS WERE BREADCRUMBS and she was picking up the trail heatedly.
"I'm a little jealous~" She teased, moving closer to Stormy and feeling her forehead. "How come your cold isn't getting better like mine is? We're intermediate now so our weapons should be doing better with the whole healing stuff." Or it could be that Nevada's cold had been well taken care of by sweating it out constantly with other people. Kind of. In a non sexual, very flue sick like way.
"Ah hold that thought!" She climbed off the bed and to her jacket. Thankfully, she had raided the medicine cabinet and came back to the bed, offering Halls fruit breezers cough drops. She held her hand out for Stormy to take one. "They'll help with your throat Pet." And proceeded to scoot closer.
"I was, because I missed you and wasn't because well. Took advantage of that time to harass Otto, who isn't sick because he's a full hunter and Tuck and Alaska. I made them share their beds with me." She sniffled a little, "Alaska almost kicked me out. Almost. Didn't get a chance too." She winked again.
"So you just got medical treatment from Cute little Gale? Some...Tender loving care? Did you guys talk about things?"

She gave a tiny shrug. "Maybe 'cause it hasn't really kicked in yet?" Stormy suggested. "I didn't get sick often either, but when I did it kinda hit hard . . ." She took the cough drops with a grateful nod and popped them back, letting the soothing medicine take effect as she rolled them around in her mouth. It was also an excuse to think about her answer for a few extra seconds.
"Awww~ Well at least you were with friends," she cooed, skipping over the Tuck part for now because, to be honest, she liked having the attention and didn't mind keeping it for a bit longer. Her brother would crop up soon enough. "And got some time with your sister, too! So maybe I had good timing."
And maybe Nevada had a different idea of what went down.
That emphatic tender loving care made Stormy blink. "What things?" she asked innocently. "We talked about the mission, sure. Almost drowning isn't fun. I'm lucky I got away with just a cold, since about 50% of all drownings require a trip to the emergency room."
. . . She was surprised she still remembered that statistic. Most of them were blotted out by the congestion she had presently.

"Probably." Nevada sighed, "I use to think the same but Alaska and you seem to get hit much stronger than I do. Maybe its cause I sleep a lot?" She moved to sit behind Stormy, reaching out to play with the girl's hair. There was some braiding, undoing of it and then general gentle twist of playing with the locks. Its what girls did right? Plus she always loved when her sister played with her hair too. It's why she kept it so long. It was relaxing, in its own way.
"Good timing maybe! I was a bit worried about Otto since he has a fear of bugs but Tuck and Alaska seemed well enough..." She paused, "Are you okay? About the spiders? I know it was freaky and somewhat mentally scarring? And what about Gale too? Was he....handling it well too?" She was actually generally worried about both of them. To be fair, she blocked out the spiders like she blocked out the horrible rendition of a ex singing baby got back to her. They didn't exsist in her mind.
"So instead of the infirmary, Gale took you to his house, you ate some soup and talked?" She leaned over, "Did you guys talk about how you guys kept sending heated glances at each other on the cruise?" She pretend to fan Stormy, "It was like a tropical storm in there, all heat and wild looks." She was totally teasing.
Totally.
Maybe. There was a lot of looks between the two okay.

Stormy hummed contentedly as Nevada had fun with her hair, almost ready to let her head sag forward after only a few seconds. "Gale was okay. I could do better," she answered truthfully, trying to sniffle but being noisily reminded how bad of an idea that was. "To be honest, I have nightmares more about the ocean than anything else . . ." Falling from the ship, sinking in the water, the waves crashing and rolling and oh God don't get more sick.
Nevada was playing with her hair right now. Focus on that. Still bed, still floor, still land. She took a deep breath.
"Thaaaat's exactly how it went." But Stormy did begin to turn pink, laughing despite herself. Tropical storm, Gale, Stormy--very clever! She needed to remember that one. "I don't give wild looks," she stated as a matter of factly, "unless they're of bewilderbeest."
Pause.
"Get it?"
Pause.
"Bewilderment? Wildebeest? The Lion King?"
. . . She was trying to get better at jokes, really. At least Nevada hadn't been treated to the roasted wiener joke she'd tried on Evan and Tuck.
"But we did talk about that, yeah," Stormy went on to say slowly, dragging it out more for poor Nevada. "We'd talked before then too, so it was . . . a little hard. We'd talked twice before really, once after a mission and once on the ship, around the time I was texting you about the room." She gave a small sigh. "It's too bad we couldn't try out those nice beds . . ."

Nevada sighed, reaching to hug Stormy and rest her chin on the girl's shoulder. "Well all we can do now, is thank god it's over. Or other deities if you have them." She leaned on the other girl, mulling in thoughts.
"Your blush says otherwise Pet." She raised an eyebrow at the coloration of cheeks and then her eyebrow further raised. "Okay, I will rephrase from wild to those like...heated passing looks. Like you guys are having a conversation every time your guys eyes meet." She sighed dreamily, "Like in the soap opera's and romance novels." She was teasing again. Maybe.
And then joke.
and her expression was a lot like:
Dude it had been forever since she seen Lion King. Her favorite was sleeping beauty. (GO FIGURE).
"You guys talked about it a lot. Which means it must mean a lot to both of you. Which means you both mean a lot to each other, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU GUYS ARE SERIOUS ABOUT EACH OTHER...." She squeezed, "So are you guys dating yet or what? You're keeping me in suspense okay!! is that why you got that happy dopey expression?"

"I think I've tried, what . . . God, Buddha, Brahma I think for a short bit . . . Then some New Age stuff . . . I think atheism was the shortest period because it just doesn't work for me." Stormy was listing these off on her fingers, musing. "God's the one I keep coming back to mostly because it's nice and short and sweet and the first one I learned, but I'm more karmaic and loosey goosey than anything else."
She had to laugh at the comparisons Nevada drew. "You forgot novellas," she added. "But a conversation with our eyes, huh? Wouldn't that be something~"
It had been more a collection of awkward looks explained via texts than anything else as far as Stormy was concerned, but she was terribly pleased to have them romanticized anyway.
Stormy gave Nevada's blank look a blank look herself, because if Nevada hadn't seen The Lion King Stormy was going to go on a Disney Crusade to fix that issue and any others besides. But she laughed again, softly this time, and got distracted from asking. "What context is 'serious' anyway?" she asked, tilting her head coquettishly towards the other mist hunter. "If something is complex and confusing, it's kinda serious and you have to talk a lot about it. Especially with me 'cause I go on little rants sometimes, you know that, ice cream tree~"
But she finally gave Nevada mercy and went to grasp her hands, smiling brightly. "I always look a little dopey, thank you very much! But since you keep askiiiing . . . We started dating, yes~"

There was a sort of high pitched squeal that emitted from Nevada in a very unladylike fashion, followed by a huge glomp that would cause the two too roll on the bed. Ending with Nevada holding the smaller mist girl.
"I knewwwwwwwwwwwww it!!!~ Well I didn't know but I had a FEELING...." Nevada breathed in, laughing. kind of. A little coughing too. "Oh my gosh, My little Stormy all grown up and dating. Turning into a fine woman." She wiped away an imaginary tear. "Where did the time go. Heated glances to dating...." She sighed dreamily again.
"I think relationships on the island, whether they be friend, family or Romantically are going to be complicated anyways. And if Gale accepts you and your rants like I do, It'll be good. It'll be...okay." She was happy for her friend, glad that someone would be happy with someone else.
She wasn't negative either. What she had done with Tuck and Roland? She knew Stormy wouldn't do. And she would make sure Gale didn't either. Eventually. But only after she talked with Stormy.
"Is there...Is there anything you want to ask about?" Nevada gave a small look towards to Stormy, "You know...do you want to ask about anything that concerns boys physically? Mentally?" Because it wasn't like Nevada didn't have some knowledge, and she'd help Stormy with whatever. And because thats what big sisters do. They had the ~*~talk~*~.

Stormy squealed and coughed with her as they rolled because why not--there was an over abundance of happiness to dole out still, and who better than with her Mist sister? It was a rare moment of girlish, purely childish delight she wanted to indulge for as long as possible, regardless of how her lungs and throat complained.
"I'm still meeee, Nevada~ I don't feel like I've grown up at all. We were a little obvious, though, huh?" she said with a soft giggle, wiggling gleefully in Nevada's arms. "Whoops. But he does accept them--he's listened to quite a few rants!--and he does accept me, and he cuddles warmly, and ~ I'm walking on sunshiiiiine. Ohhhh~ I'm walking on sunshiiiiine. Ohhhh~'Cause I feel good~!" she sang softly, smiling to herself.
And then sneezed several times.
Stormy shifted a bit to face her, not willing to break up the glomp-hug unless Nevada did. "Hmmm...I could use any advice you have," she answered with a tiny nod. "I was in a relationship once, and I want to do this one right. Did you date before Deus?"

"Just a wee bit Pet." She held Stormy tightly. "And that's important I think, Accepting you and all of you. I'm happy that Gale makes you happy like that." She giggled, rubbing her cheek on Stormy's as the girl started singing.
"Bless you, Bless you, Bless you." She said to all the sneezes.
"I had one boyfriend before Deus. But it didn't end up well. he wanted twin girlfriends...not just A TWIN." She shrugged, "I'm a really bad example I guess to ask." She waited, "Be honest okay? Just be honest about your feelings, if you hold it in, they will always turn out bad. They build up and then it turns inward and goes outward." She sighed.
"Have you guys kissed?"

All the cheek rubbing, man. All the nuzzles.
"Gracias~"
She sniffled and hoped she didn't look too gross, making a face. "You're not a bad example," Stormy assured her. "But I'm sorry some guy actually thought that . . . You guys put him in his place, right?" Alaska looked frightening at any rate . . .
Though Nevada was quite right in her advice, Stormy felt a little twinge of guilt hearing it--she knew she was that sort of person, and as much as she talked when around Gale, sometimes it was just empty noise to avoid certain topics that would rile that bottled emotion.
"Have we--? Ummm. Not really?" Stormy looked rather self-conscious now, unsure if that was normal or not. "He's only kissed my hair and nose and forehead and stuff, but only because I asked him to wait on the real deal." Pause. "I mean we had like . . . really tiny one in the infirmary once, but that doesn't count because I didn't return it, and he wasn't expecting to do it either I think, and it's a long and confusing story. Is that bad?"

All the love....
There would be no grossness with these two, just two cute sick girls. "I did yes, Alaska left shortly after I started dating him. I gave him a good verbal beatdown." and had developed her flirty smooth nature due to it.
She saw the look, Stormy's apprehension and sighed. "You have secrets...That's okay too, Women are suppose to have them. I mean to just be honest about each other. You won't like everything Gale does, and he Won't like everything you do....But if you are honest about it...you guys will get past it with minor bumps. This Island is messed up, so relationships will really thrive on being honest....No secrets concerning each other while dating." That was her mistake with Roland, she hadn't told him how unsatisfied she had been....how she wanted more and more and more from him. And it blew up in her face.
"Not all. I find it adorable...and so you." Oh her baby was innocent, so very innocent. She just hugged Stormy tightly, "You go at your own pace. Don't ever be pushed to do things you don't want. If you're uncomfortable, tell him. If you want more...Tell him." She waited, "And always wait till you feel comfortable for anything else..." Nevada squinted a bit, "And if you have sex, You have SAFE sex. I know we don't have the worries about STD's or...babies either from what I hear but! None the less, Safe sex is the best sex." Nevada raised an eyebrow at Stormy, "I want you to at least promise me, that when you do think that you are ready, to come to me okay? I will give you things that...um..." She flushed a little, "That will make it less painful, more relaxing..." It was actually more innocent than it sounded. Her supplies were actual herbal bath soaks, clear lotions to ease muscles and of course...condoms. SAFE SEX PRACTICE OKAY.

"Good~" she chirped with a nod and a sniffle. It was like a happy ending to a small fairy tale, even if she didn't know details or names.
As Nevada advised her more on honesty, Stormy had to hide the impulse to wiggle just a bit nervously. No secrets concerning each other was fine, but . . . Well no, she shouldn't worry about this. It'd never come up. This was Deus, this was a second chance. She'd been doing a lot better in comparison to her old life, all things considered . . . Even with all the near deaths. Honesty would be easy, she told herself, because Gale was not a liar--and maybe some of that would rub off on her in time. And even if it didn't, what she gave were only white lies--little things to make the truth easier to bear or absolutely hidden in plain sight when possible. That wouldn't be so bad, right?
Honesty, Stormy reminded herself, and nodded. No secrets.
She relaxed once more as Nevada re-established the hug, happy to curl around her mist sister like a lazy cat. "I always go at my own pace," Stormy replied, blinking. "I made him wait over three weeks before I even said I'd date him--and that was when he'd asked me a few times already. It wasn't rea--"
What. Nevada, what.
Stormy stared at her, bewildered. Not that she didn't appreciate her roomie being so supportive and willing to help her, but--
"Nevada we've only been dating for like a day why are we talking about sex."
If Nevada was flushed, Stormy looked like a cherry.

"Ah you're a girl after my own heart." Nevada chuckled, "I use to be super patient about things, I'm forward but I wouldn't do anything that anybody else wasn't comfortable with." She waited a beat, "So Gale was really persistent wasn't he? That's really good, that's adorable actually. it makes me kind of want to squish you guys together a lot." She giggled.
Then her eyes widened and she laughed, watching as her roommate turned tomato like.
"Because it's natural. Its a natural progression in a couples life. I'm not saying to go out and have it right now....or anytime soon, Hell you could wait for a year or longer for all I mind, I just want you to know, that when you do...Make sure you're ready. Emotionally, Physically and Spiritually. If you have questions, I want you to ask them. If you feel uncomfortable about it, talk to me?" She chuckled, "And when you and Gale do the bedroom tango, tell me all the details because thats what friends do." She was teasing because god she couldn't help it. stormy was just too cute.
