The kiss was different. There was just something about it, Emily had kissed people before. She'd even done it in a serious relationship before, but they'd always been way more intense. Funnily, considering the nature of Skye it wasn't intense like that. It was eager sure, but it was also gentle and calm. There was a swirl of emotions overlapping them, and they were all positive, giddy and loving in nature. It was all affection and comfort, and Emily found herself briefly relaxing completely while she was entangled in the kiss with Skye, minus the initial flailing.

Emily was glad that Skye had some nerves going on too. Not that it wasn't a good thing that Skye was sort of confident, but it made Emily's own less than super confident actions a little less awkward. And all she really wanted Skye to be was happy, so when the orange emotions flared up she felt warm and giddy. That feeling was still reverberating throughout her. It was nice.

When they broke off she found herself suddenly on the floor, on her back. Huh. When did that happen? She remembered falling backwards but at the time there were other things on her mind. She sat, breathing deeply, as if taking in excess oxygen would help her get her train of thought back on track. The blush certainly hadn't lessened any. If anything it was just stuck there.

She slowly sat up, scooting so she was also with her back against the bed and murmured quietly. "Neither di-" She felt something caught in her throat. "I didn't plan this when I invited you over, I just wanted to hang out and play games when I did, I swear." She pulled her legs up with her arms and tried to hide her face in them.

Skye found herself shaking lightly, breath still catching occasionally, still wrapping her brain around the whole situation. She still had residual feelings for Mari, but there was obviously something with Emily. And this was different. Calm. And yet...there was something exciting about it.

She scooted closer to Emily, laying her head on the other girl's shoulder and closing her eyes. "Yeah...taking me to your room to make out doesn't seem like your style," she teased with a small giggle. It may have been Skye's M.O., but that hadn't crossed her mind in the longest time. "Guess we wanted to play games and got a little more than we bargained for, eh?" she teased again, leaning up to kiss the side of Emily's head since that was the only part of her face that was exposed at the moment.

"Besides, we can still play, if you want..." he eyes drifted to the TV as she contemplated it. But at the same time, she leaned against Emily again; this was comfortable...

Emily was glad that Skye saw it that way. For just a moment she'd felt a sheer panic wash over her thinking that may have been the case, and was immediately thankful that Skye couldn't read other's emotions or thoughts, or she'd be able to embrass Emily more than she already could. Which was probably saying something at this point. Emily had opened up and made herself vulnerable to Skye in a way that she hadn't with other people, she was probably asking for some super teasing by that fact.

The soft kiss felt very warm on Emily's already extremely hot cheeks, she leaned her cheek against Skye's lips softly a little shiver running through her. She'd not felt this at peace in so long, it was so weird. She'd been so confused and stressed out and nervous not an hour ago. And now that she'd opened up with honesty and more importantly Skye had responded she felt super giddy and relaxed at the same time.

She giggled nervously. "I don't mind." She paused for a second, before adding. "Do you know I've barely picked up anybody else's emotions in hours? Even though I'm sure they must've been nearby. Either yours are just particularly loud, or you help me relax. It's nice." She closed her eyes contently.

Emily slowly slipped an arm behind Skye around her waist and softly pulled them closer as Skye leaned. She sighed and nestled against her friend comfortably. "We can do, that was what we were meant to be doing I guess."

"Either way, I'll chalk it up to me just being special," she said with a small smile. She leaned against Emily a little bit longer. There was just something about the closeness, Emily's arm around her waist, her head on Emily's shoulder. It was comforting. Especially coupled with the giddiness that came with that first kiss.

"It is, yeah..." she said giving Emily one more squeeze before handing Emily the controller and picking up her own. She wasn't sure how much she'd be able to focus, but...today had been more therapeutic than she'd hoped, though it did have it's fair share of rather pleasant surprises.

[blcokquote][blcokquote]Emily giggled and grinned, leaning against Skye more and leaning her head down gently to kiss Skye on the cheek. She wasn't even shaking when she made contact anymore. Weird. She guessed exposure and comfort had helped with that. "You. Are very special." She whispered into Skye's ear when she kissed her cheek, the blush was fading now. She was starting to slowly feel more comfortable with her feelings and intimacy with Skye.

Emily had definitely made some progress with her own issues, and not only that she actually felt calmer and more confident than she had been in ages. It wasn't so much a dependence on Skye, as her relationship with Skye cracking through her shell and opening her up to possibilities. It was a healthy growth.

She took the controller and then took the opportunity to rest her head on Skye's shoulder and resume playing. "Uh... where were we, I got side tracked with that awkward flailing." She admitted, thankful her most recent blush was hidden.

Skye blushed, feeling Emily's lips on her cheek, and she giggled a little. This was by far above and beyond what she'd expected for the day, but she had to admit she was quite pleased. She was more confused than ever, but she was happy. She snuggled into Emily a bit more as those small shivers of joy danced up and down her spine.

"In between quests, actually. So there was nothing too pressing going on. Though, I'm pretty sure it wasn't the flailing that got you all distracted," she teased, her voice almost becoming a flirty purr, looking over at Emily with a wink. "Just follow my lead," she said with a slight cackle. Sure she was totally talking about the game, still.

She settled into her spot, a content smile on her face as her lights settled into a deep indigo.

Emily responded with a quiet. "Okay." when Skye described where they had gotten up to, she was sort of nestled into her friends shoulder while she was watching the screen, slowly getting her bearings with what they were doing and how to play again. The drinks had addled her reactions a little to be fair, but she was also super relaxed compared to how she had been earlier. She didn't know what her and Skye's status was, but she was just happy to be around the woman, and feeling her physical and emotional warmth made Emily comfortable.

She slowly picked up the pace and carried on playing the game with Skye, they made slower, but steady progress. "I'm glad you're content, I'm more comfortable than I've been in years." She whispered, her face still resting on Skye.

They carried on playing for a few more hours, Emily occasionally shifting position but basically always snuggling Skye in some way while they hung out before they eventually both fell asleep.

Afterwards, Emily decided to give Skye some space to work out what she wanted. They were both pretty clear about how they felt, so one way or another Emily was going to stick around. But she didn't want to overwhelm Skye too much.
