[ Level Up ]
When she got back from the mission, having logged it into her phone as complete, there was a coat lying on the massive bed she shared with Otto. It was remarkably different from the one she'd been assigned as a trainee, a symbol that she'd passed through the faceless ranks of trainees to become someone worth customizing a coat for.
Immediately shedding the one she'd been wearing Cami swept the length of fabric around her body, loving the way it flowed and formed to her. It would be so easy to move in this compared to the constricting sleeves and shoulders of her original coat! The designs along the hem were more intricate and an extra cube had been added to the front of her coat to denote that she was now an Intermediate Hunter.
"Look!" Spinning as Otto came into the bedroom, she beamed. "Aren't I impressive?"

The mission had been exhausting. Not so much on his body for once. But as usual, it had done a number on his mind. Maebe had seemed very distant. Likely she'd also suffered from some terrible vision. He let her go to her own room this time. She needed her space. He'd come back for her after she had some time to settle.
For now, there was Cami. Cami seemed fine. She seemed great, actually. He walked in to see her spinning around in her new coat. He gave a smile, tossing his own coat to the floor as most discarded clothing did for the untidy teen.
"You're always impressive." He assured her with a smirk. "And you look really good."

Despite her own nerves, her own excitement, and her own visions Cami had noticed Maebe's distance and Otto's troubled feelings. It was impossible to not feel the storm clouds on the horizon where her two most important people were concerned and, to be honest, the redhead was always hyper-aware of Maebe's feelings. It was hard not to just pull her into the room upstairs, to make her stay until she felt better, until she smiled again, but it was wrong and so she resisted. But she worried, nonetheless.
Otto's comment made her genuinely grin before posing in a manner befitting her ridiculous personality. "Always impressive? That's such a good compliment Otto, no wonder you're always surrounded by pretty girls." The prettiest being her and Maebe, of course, but that went without saying. Dropping down to the floor she started to pry off her boots and then the rest of her clothing followed until she was wearing only a tank top, her tiny house shorts, and the coat.
She wasn't going to take it off until bedtime. At least. Walking over to Otto she wrapped arms around him, head on his shoulder. "Thank you for always being there with me. I couldn't be this impressive without you."

Otto simply smirked again. He doubted his killer charisma was the reason he had a lot of female friends hanging around. He took the compliment anyway.
Cami got herself back into comfortable clothes. Otto took the cue and did the same. Pyjama pants and a tshirt. Perfectly comfortable. He had to shake his head though as Cami came around in her coat again. If she started showering in it he'd have to intervene.
He held his arms around her, patting her fluffy head of hair. "I'm sure you still would. But you're welcome."

[ Moving On ]
Otto's phone background had been of Nevada for a very long time. He hated the idea of changing it. If he did, did that mean he was cutting away her memory forever? Or simply taking a step forward to moving on? He'd moved on. He wasn't avoiding living for himself. But this was the one thing he hadn't allowed himself to do yet.
He had two very important women in his life now. He wanted them to be what he saw when he opened his phone. But wasn't there a way to keep Nevada's memory close by without keeping her haunting face in his cell phone's background?
He settled down while no one was home and began to draw. He drew that one picture of the two of them at the Aquarium over and over until he got her face just right.
Hours passed, and as midnight flew by, he was done. A sketch in dark graphite was complete. The drawing was put inside a frame, and set on a shelf with a few others of friends on the island he'd been slowly accumulating.
It would stand out. Special among all the photographs. A drawing he'd put his heart into, immortalizing someone who'd done so much for him.
Then, and only then, did Otto change the background of his phone.
He changed it to a photo of Maebe and Cami he'd taken candidly while they'd been giggling about something.

It was becoming increasingly more frustrating and difficult to see Cami's body and just see a body. They'd become closer, shared their hearts and shared a kiss or two. Even though she often walked around half naked since it was so warm lately, he found himself getting less used to it the more it happened. He couldn't not look. Worser yet, he wanted to touch.
Would she get mad? Would it seem out of left field? Maebe was his girlfriend, and Cami was... not really just a best friend. What was she to him? He loved her. He loved Maebe. But he had sex with Maebe, and not with Cami.
So it would be crossing a line, right?
But damned if he didn't wish he could just.... once.... test it out. A little.

It was night, and it was keeping him awake.
He'd rolled around and huffed and puffed. Cami was reading a book or a magazine beside him, not ready for sleep yet. He heard her making small noises of amusement every time he made an audible noise of unrest, reaching to scratch his head like a pet.
Every time he looked at her it was all he could think about. Just one time. One... time... then maybe it would ease his curiosity.
Finally the frustration reached it's limit. He'd do it, and then he'd be able to sleep again. Live again without that wondering thought. Otto huffed once more, turned all the way around, sitting up enough to see what he was doing.
He reached over and grabbed a handful of Cami's breast. "There! It's done!"
It was everything he thought it would be. He let go, and rolled back over onto his side, his face redder than a tomato, and pretended he was sleeping.

Cami was reading 50 Shades of Grey and regretting every minute of it. She didn't really consider herself a literary snob. She'd read Twilight and enjoyed it for what it was which was a piece of fluff lit aimed for teenagers the way that romance novels were aimed at housewives. This stuff wasn't even fluff lit. It made fluff lit look like deserved awards.
Otto sitting up was a welcome distraction and she lowered the piece of trash masquerading as a book just as his hand reached out to firmly squeeze her breast. Just the one, just for a moment, not even three whole seconds before he turned over and ostensibly went back to sleep. For a long minute she stared at the back of his blond head before sliding a hand up to mimic the squeeze he'd given it. Her face wasn't upset or angry in the slightest. Confused? ******** she reached out to shake his shoulder lightly. "Uhm...Otto?" Her voice was quiet. Hesitant.

Oh like hell! Setting her jaw she shook again, less gentle this time, more insistent. "You're not sleeping, I know what you sound like when you're asleep and that's not it." Months of living with Cami was backfiring right now in that she wasn't going to buy his crap in the slightest. It had also banished some of her hesitance to even try to ask what the heck he'd been doing or why he had said what he had said while he'd done it.
"What's done and what does it have to do with my boob?"

"It was there! It was mocking me!" He panicked, holding a pillow over his head. "It's done!"

Now she was seriously concerned for his well-being. Grabbing the pillow she tried to tug it off of his face so that she could look at him, hear him clearly. "What was mocking you?! My boobs were mocking you?! They don't talk! I mean if you think they talk we need to talk and maybe you need to go see someone in Life because..." Letting out a long breath she backed up a step and returned to rational thought.
Her chest was impressive, to say the least, and she didn't exactly try to hide it. Otto, living with her, got closer to her boobs than anyone else on the island other than Maebe. He often woke up with his head on them, face pressed into them, and she didn't wear a bra to bed. Being a consummate gentleman he'd never once touched them.
Now he had.
Tugging hard again on the pillow she said, very simply. "If you wanted to squeeze my boobs you just hadta ask."

He held onto that pillow as if his life depended on hiding his face. He did the thing. The curiosity was sated. Now came the consequences.
"Would it sound dumb if I said that's even more embarrassing than just the grab n go?"

Cami wasn't distressed by him randomly honking her on the hooter but he was definitely distressed by the idea that he didn't want to do it again, which was the impression she was getting from his hiding. Starting to pout slightly she let go of the pillow before flopping back to where she'd started. "No because that gives me a chance to say yes or no and you have to sit there, writhing in embarrassed agony, waiting for that moment. It sounds like something that would make Maebe's eyes light up like Christmas over."
Because it made her feel better Cami grabbed both of them in her hands, pushing them up and together to make cleavage that angels wept over. "They feel pretty nice."

He listened to her in, yes, embarrassed agony. He could have asked, but the awkward nature of that question was beyond impossible. Then again, how was just going for it any better?
"They feel ******** fantastic." Came the disgruntled mumble within the pillow. He couldn't explain his actions, so he didn't even try.
