Nevada waited till the S'mores visit with Land and Quinn ended, keeping her arm wrapped around Ian's waist as they headed back to the dorms. Literally, if Quinn thought the two were a couple now, the way Nevada easily slipped into Ian's room when they made it there would really concrete it.
Mind you though, they were platonically friends. The reason they got along so well? It could be said they were cut from the same cloth.
She eased her way on to the bed and stretched out.
"Oh I'm so full..." She smiled, rolling over. "So Ian, tell me your secrets now that we are alone. Who did you find eh?" She patted the spot next to her.

It wasn't a surprise when Nevada slipped into his room after him, Ian's hand still linked in hers as he tugged her past the doorway. He had expected her to follow him, which made him pleased, since it had been a while with just the two of them; and it was so rare to find someone like Nevada he could just talk to without having to worry about anything else.
She made herself comfortable on his bed, and Ian pulled off his jacket. "Smores are ten times better than anything else on this island," he said with a snort, tossing it onto the back of his desk chair and making his way over to the bed. "Except maybe booze, and all that's seemed to do lately is get us into trouble."
He flopped down beside her, face in his pillow and made a groaning sound that was muffled. Turning over, Ian slid his arm around Nevada and smiled. "I found...a boyfriend," he said, deliberately cryptic, but the silly little grin on his face betrayed any casualness he was attempting to convey.

She laughed, "I'll be truthful....I had a huge candy/booze session with Otto for his birthday after the Sahara trip...I thought nothing could get better then that..." And then she waved her hand, "And then we had s'mores....."
She sighed wistfully again....
"Booze does seem to get us in trouble.." She waggled an eyebrow.....It was possibly a factor of her hooking up with Chelsea but not really. She had been buzzed...not drunk...
"Oh....?" She tucked her arm over Ian's, like two kids conspiring in their bed or something and narrowed an eye. "Your casual tone doesn't match that silly grin on your face Ian, Tell me...." She could guess if you wanted instead Ian. "You tell me the name of your boyfriend and I will tell you the name of my girlfriend..."
HEYYYYYYYYY OHHHHHHHH.

"Hopefully the s'mores will tide me over until we get some decent grub around here," Ian muttered, poking at his pillow. "Thank heavens for Quinn and his ability to share and play nicely with the other kids, otherwise we'd still be eating stale MREs."
Nevada was making that face at him. Ian arched a brow at her. "I meant the bad kind of trouble," he said dryly, pushing her shoulder affectionately. "But I sense that you mean a totally different kind of trouble."
Groaning, he turned his head and buried his face against her shoulder, his laughter muffled. "I'm not grinning silly," he protested, but this was clearly a big fat lie. Ian rolled his eyes and leaned back, tilting his head to look at her -
" - wait, what?" he said, slightly taken aback. "Girlfriend? I thought you, er...played the straight and narrow," he asked, though now that he thought of it, she hadn't actually said what her preferences was, had she? She'd mentioned failed romances, boyfriends...

"I hope it does...and doesn't make us want more..." She murmured again...then groaned..."Like Pizza...." Augh she could practically smell Tomato sauce and cheese and pepperoni. Was she drooling yet? "Quinn is a sweetheart, but I think he might have some suspicions about us..." She waggled her eyebrow, "Might think we are...a pair."
"You mean the bug trouble? I dipped before they even got to that." She laughed, "I was tired of bugs man...tired of them." and then she laughed again, "I mean the truthful dangerous honesty alcohol all brings out in us." She waggled more.
"You are so grinning, it's not bad...Adorable....Flustered..." She teased, "Now tell me your secret, I'm dying to know."
Oh but...then he asked about her preferences. A sheepish look came over her, a hand waving. "No no no Handsome. You first. Then I will tell my story."

Ian grinned. "That's okay," he said and leaned towards her, the grin widening into a smirk as he pecked her cheek affectionately. "He's free to think what he wants to think. Whatever floats his boat. But he is very sweet, and very nice. I like him."
He tried not to think about the bugs because bugs made him nauseated. Instead, he focused on the alcohol comment because alcohol was what had brought Shiloh to his room that night, which was pretty spectacular in the end. Ian rubbed his face, running a hand through his hair.
"Okay, well," he said. "I'll tell you, but - " And here he gave her a significant look. "You can't tell anyone, not even this girlfriend I totally expect to get the dish on in a moment. He's not ready to come out just yet, and I promised him we'd keep it to ourselves."
"But," Ian added. "You're also probably the best friend I've got on this island, so I'm telling you, because I want to." There was a pause and then he smiled slightly and said, "It's Shiloh."

"Oh stage a innocent dupe eh?" She teased, snuggling closer. "It's rare to meet someone like him now, with the Island full of hurt people...who come her to get even more hurt..." She shrugged.
The look earned an arched brow and a return look of 'okay TELL ME'......
"Oh secrets. Ian Please, we're mist hunters. We are the epitome of people who keep secrets...." She had like a million of them. her heart actually warmed at him calling her his best friend, reaching over to hug him close. "Your secret is safe with me Handsome." it didn't feel like cheating on Stormy, but it did open her heart open more for people. She'd like to think of Ian as her best male friend, while Stormy was her...sister, best friend for life, roommate and Mist partner in crime.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" She burrowed her head into the pillow, making small sounds. "Wow." She turned her head now, thinking of the pink haired hunter and how he seemed like...oddly...a good match for her Ian.
And how it was funny that both of them found pink haired hunters for romantic interest.
"I'm really happy for you Ian, Shy is a cutie." She turned her head, gnawing on her lip. "to answer your question, I do play straight...Chelsea is the first girl...that I kind of liked like this." She gnawed her lip again, "It's different...and we were....intimate...." She blushed, "The night of the party and that's how we came to be."

The best thing about Nevada was her entirely judgment free demeanor. It had been one of the things that Ian had noticed straight off, and considering he was somewhat judgmental himself, it was a rather nice quality. Not only that, but her mind was like his own, and it had been a long time since Ian had found someone with whom he could be entirely open.
Besides, cuddles were good too. Ian's smile widened. "He's definitely cute," he said, "though he doesn't think so. I keep trying to convince him, but he doesn't really like to associate that with himself since he says it's meant for little kids and girls."
He stretched out a little and waited expectantly for the rest of Nevada's confession, one eyebrow raising. "Huh," he said thoughtfully, tapping a finger against his chin. "I guess that party was more, uh, action packed than I originally thought."
He gave Nevada a sly look. "I may or may not have gotten intimate with Shiloh that night too," Ian said. "And to answer your unasked question, it was fantastic, and that's all the details you're gonna get, at least right now. Now - " He patted the pillow and dragged it beneath his head to look up at Nevada. "Tell me about this Chelsea. I've never met her."

All those feelings that Ian was feeling bottled up to Nevada perfectly. Albeit she had Stormy as well, but to have two people understand her...no three now because Alaska, It was warming.
And yes, Cuddles were fantastic and she missed the male body just a little okay. Chelsea was hot, and all sorts of nice softness, but it was nice to hug a man too. Conflicting feelings there.
"I don't think Shy takes well to it, but I blame him for wearing cute rubber duck boots and dressing as a duck at the party." She laughed, "But as you know, my greetings are always Handsome, I earn more points that way right?" She teased.
"Oh?" Oh look at that sly look, Ohhhhhhhhhhhh look at that LOOK. Ian you minx, you dog, you...you well...crafty little b*****d. Nevada felt happiness for him, because for her at least...intimacy was special and important.
She let out a deflated sigh. "You're suppose to tell me the details Ian, all the sweet sexy details. It's all left up to imagination and it's just not the same. For all I know, you were having wild Tarzan sex and here I am imagining subtle bedroom candlelight moments. Details Ian...deeeeeetails."
"Chelsea is the opposite of me pretty much, besides the flirty nature." She began, looking up at him. "Taller, pretty. She acts kind of like a prince, almost a boy but...not really? Nice...Has a big smile...Friendly." She laughed, "I'm still getting to know her honestly. And I'm a bit nervous I suppose..I've never been with a girl before...um that night. I mean hugging and kissing is different but..." She started to mumble into the pillow, "It was nice. Gentler, but still very...well god it was just great." She laughed. "i guess that's the most details I can give you."

Sometime during Nevada's talk about Chelsea, Ian had pulled out a package of stale saltines and had started munching on them, lying on his back beside her. "Sounds like a chick I could dig," he said with a grin, tilting his head to look at her. "I'm glad you found someone you like, sweet pea. And maybe being with a girl is what you need," he added. "I know you'e had some heartbreak before, so maybe this will be something for you to feel better about. Girls are cute and soft."
He was grinning, but his eyes were affectionate. Ian poked Nevada's shoulder. "I'm happy for you. And I definitely need to meet her some time."
Popping another cracker in his mouth, Ian chewed thoughtfully for a moment and then said dryly, "Okay, fine. The deal with Shy and me is that I thought he was pretty cute from the beginning, except I didn't know if he swung my way, you know. I sorta tested the waters - I kissed him pretty early on, just to see his reaction."
Ian shrugged, the memories coming back to him now - Shiloh's startled expression, slight pink flush to his cheeks; the way he'd completely waved over the incident when Ian had come back to apologize later (oddly enough, since normally he wouldn't have bothered). "He didn't take it the way I thought he would," Ian said. "He was...surprisingly cool about it, which was suspicious, but at the same time he's pretty naive about...things."
He rolled his shoulders, stretching his neck. "Basically I find him fascinating. I'm the one that usually makes the first move, and we had something tentative after this one time I kissed him again after he...helped me with something. But it was only after the party that we ah...made it official, I guess." There was a slight smirk on his face as Ian turned to look at Nevada. "He was a little drunk, I was more than a little happy to oblige him in his needs, one thing led to another, and there you have it.
"Fortunately," Ian said, now chewing on another stale cracker. "He didn't have second thoughts when he woke up next to me the following morning. So all's well that ends well."

She eyed the saltines from, where even Ian, they were in bed, did you hide food in your bed. Mist hunters man.
"She's pretty awesome so far." Nevada looked up, "I hope so, I don't think I could handle another failed attempt at love. I mean after that, it's solitude. In a normal life, I would invest in like...6 cats." She waved her hand, "Become the single but crazy cat lady." Something about the way he said girl's were cute and soft reminded her of Dylon. Boys, they were so funny.
"So you crushed on him, but being the man you are, and gentleman, you sent out some lines to test...oh." She started to lean closer, if possible. "You kissed him? So bold Ian." This coming for the same Man who didn't want to get involved with others, how very different.
"Oh...Ohohohoho" She smiled, "Chelsea didn't have second thoughts either. We really got into it, then I woke up and she sorta of just like...Confessed." She giggled a little bit and closed her eye. "I hope you and Shy are happy Ian, and that this island won't ruin it." She sighed, "I think of all the people, and this is favoritism speaking. You deserve happiness."

"Hey, look," Ian said, and sat up, shifting himself so that he was sitting beside her rather than laying on his back. He leaned over and put his forehead against the top of her head, smiling. "You're gonna have a great time with her, okay? You're pretty ******** fantastic, I hope you know."
He pecked her forehead affectionately and then settled back down again, curled up like a lazy cat beside her. "I do not," said Ian with a snort, "have crushes. I found him interesting. There's a difference. He was cute and he was funny, and I actually originally just wanted to be friends, so there," he added, sticking out his tongue. "Besides, I assumed he wasn't interested; I assumed he played it straight, but that obviously either changed or wasn't true or whatever. Either way, he's with me now."
Nevada was given a slight smile, Ian shrugging. "Thanks," he said, and fiddled with his blanket. "I don't know about the whole 'deserving happiness' thing, and hell if I know if this whole thing will work out with Shiloh, but it is what it is, I guess. We'll see where it goes."
He was so used to holding people at a distance; how had he already let people under his skin? Regardless of whether he'd intended it to happen, Shiloh had somehow wormed his way to where he was, and Ian was still trying to sort out the fact that he had consented to be someone's boyfriend, rather than just flirt shamelessly.
Ian pushed his face into his pillow before turning to look back at Nevada, his expression sly. "So," he said, in a deliberately casual tone of voice. "Your first time in bed with another girl, eh? What did you think?"

"You know...Both you and Otto saying that really make me think I am." She waved her hand, "But then again, I show you my good side. I have a terrible one you know."
"You do...have crushes." She rolled her eyes and laughed, "And Shy was just too cute for you to pass up." She shook her head, "Friends, And that's true." She nodded, "All yours now, little pink haired cutie."
"So....." She studied him. His question earned a eye widen, a blush mottling her pale cheeks. she brought her hands up to cover them, everything. She almost didn't tell him, because it was just so different. "F..First time yes."
She tried to think of a way to put it..."It was different...There was something she offered different from a boy, and something she lacked as a boy so....It was different but not bad different." She started to hide her face. "You...you know."

Ian gave Nevada a look of mock outrage. "Excuse me," he said, putting a hand to his chest, "but have I ever lied to you? The correct answer is most definitely no, so you're just gonna have to trust me when I say you're ******** awesome and admit that you're ******** awesome."
He waved away the latter part of her sentence. "Everyone has a terrible side, especially myself."
The all-to-himself phrase made Ian feel secretly pleased, since the selfish, somewhat greedy side of him absolutely wanted Shiloh only for himself. He'd tasted something good and that meant he was going to keep it for as long as he could.
Ian eyed Nevada's flushed cheeks and grinned a little, leaning forward to poke his forehead against the side of her head and whisper in her ear, "I'm pretty sure girls do lack something boys have," before leaning back, snorting with laughter. But then he relaxed a little and said, "Different is good. Different is what you need, so if you find you dig chicks, then I say go for it."
He shrugged. "You know me, I like both, but there's something about being with a guy that I find more appealing. I've never questioned that, not really. I remember my first time with a man was when I was a junior in high school. He was a senior and he was pretty damn hot, but kind of a nerd. Anyway," Ian waved a hand. "We spent the night together at his house, and I had the same reaction. Different, but not bad. And when I found someone else I was interested in, I just went for it, and the second time it just sorta confirmed something I already knew."
He was rambling slightly, but Ian gave Nevada a warm smile, curling up beside her with one arm around her waist. "Just enjoy your time with your girl, okay? Different is good."

The mock outrage was hilarious, "Excuse you indeed sir!" She laughed again, "Okay okay, I'm ******** amazing. One of the sexiest amazing bitches on this rock." she teased, "Yeah...terrible sides..." She snorted and then sighed.
His whispers made her face return to the blush and pushed him away gently, laughing again. "Well duh. I mean..Anatomy...wise." She waved her hand down and stuff.
"I don't know...It's a testing of the waters I guess. And I will enjoy her." She stretched, "been too long on this shitty rock not too." She laughed.
"Okay Handsome, S'mores, Sex...I think we are getting the best of the world right now."
