"Yeah, emotions are hard to figure out for me, especially traveling uncharted territory," she explained softly. "I knew we needed to talk, but...I didn't know how to address it. I wanted to text you, but I started so many messages that I just ended up deleting," Skye admitted sheepishly.

She snuggled into Emily more, leaning over and kissing her forehead with a smile. The movie was now just background noise as Skye settled in, just enjoying the time with Emily; the closeness, and the warmth of just being there. She was still going to have to work through some things, but she felt better knowing she wasn't alone and they were going to get through their respective issues together.

"Oh, honey you haven't seen seductive," she purred. "You're just more susceptible to my charms~" her voice was bright and slightly teasing, the orange light never once fading.

Emily smirked. "I find it both cute and amusing that it can take you so long to work out your feelings when they are quite literally on display for the whole world to see." She teased. Emily smiled again, it was so funny. She'd done exactly the same thing Skye had. Starting messages, and then deleting them because she wanted to give Skye the space. She just didn't stop herself in time tonight. Oh well. It had definitely worked out for the best all things considered.

She was actually unsure of how good she was at reading other people's inner thoughts and feelings prior to her power manifesting. She'd like to think she'd still been decent at it, but it'd been so long ago at this point that she couldn't really say for any certainty. Even if she was a late bloomer by most mutant standards judging by the mansion's average age, it was still several years back at this point and she truly could not remember much of that period at all.

Emily giggled when Skye kissed her forehead. The warm, elated feeling spread throughout her again. This was so comforting and safe, she burrowed into the snuggle a bit more, turning back to the movie and concentrating on it, very at ease.

The characters had sort of worked out what was going on now. They were trying to apply a method to work out who was an alien and who was not. To Emily's surprise their method was kind of cool, and didn't directly rip off the far better movie this one was a prequel to. The girl from Scot Pilgrim seemed to be carrying the movie with her acting. This was a good thing. Horror films could easily be made or broken not on the monsters in question, but the final girl. In Emily's honest opinion.

Blinking and blushing a little more she glanced up at Skye. "Maybe." She felt a little uncomfortable all of a sudden, for some reason.

"Yeah, but the colors are broad representations. You kind of cheat by knowing exactly what i feel," she teased lightly. Sometimes Skye wondered...if she didn't have the powers she did, would she still wear her emotions on her sleeve? As it stood, she didn't have much of a choice since it was put on full display.

She leaned into Emily as they turned their attention to the movie, and she felt a warm peace come over her despite still having personal issues to trudge through. Everything would surely work itself out in time, so Skye was just content enjoying this moment.

Skye looked over at Emily at her "Maybe," and could sense something was...off. Like what Skye said maybe rubbed her the wrong way.

"Hey, I didn't mean anything by that," she said softly, nuzzling Emily's cheek. "I'm sorry if I made it weird or anything..." she kissed Emily's cheek again, letting her hand glide up the other woman's back to stroke her hair.

"Well that's true, you are a frustratingly complex woman." She purred affectionately, really enjoying the soft caress that Skye was giving her. Just lying on her like this and chatting quietly made everything seem so much less scary and intimidating. There was a sweet simplicity in affection and cuddles. She glanced up out of the corner of her eye, and giggled. "I know I cheat. It's so not fair, is it?"

Catching the immediate notice and movements to reassure and comfort Emily filled her with another surge of affection for Skye. She shivered a little at the nuzzles and then blushed at the kiss, nestling against Skye a little more. "You didn't. I think I did. It's fine." She murmured quietly, trying to force her attention back to the movie.

"Oh, I am, but you agreed to be my girlfriend so I'm your problem now~" she teased in that sing-songy voice. "It's not fair, but I don't mind. I actually kind of like it. I was partially drawn to how well you can read me, even if it made me nervous when feelings started surfacing." She smiled shyly, and shy was not normally something Skye wore well.

"Okay, if you're sure," she said, giving her another tender kiss on the forehead. "If you need to talk or anything, or need something, I'm here, okay?" she said, turning her attention back towards the movie, or at least trying to. She was concerned for her fri--girlfriend, and wanted to know that much like Emily had promised time and time again, Skye wasn't going anywhere either. Especially not now.

Funny, a couple of weeks ago the word 'Girlfriend' sounded like a curse word of particular strength to Emily. Skye had caused a profound effect on Emily's life in the short time they'd known each other. She was definitely happier than she'd been previously, she even credited becoming friends with Alice to getting to know Skye and realising she was hiding from the world a little too much. It was nice to have made some friends instead of just brooding all the time, truth be told.

"So I did~ I think you agreed to be mine, I asked first~" She teased. "And you're somehow even cuter when you're nervous." She chirped.

She wasn't sure, but she nodded anyway. She shifted a little more now, her head was in Skye's lap. "Thank you." She murmured quietly, turning her attention back to the movie.

Skye never thought she'd use the word 'girlfriend' in this context again, but she had to admit, it made her giddy and happy and calm and she felt like she could take on whatever problem came her way. "Well, the fact is we're both the girlfriend, so yes, I'm your girlfriend, but you're also mine," she teased, her voice very matter-of-fact.

"I'm always ****ing cute~" she said brightly, giving Emily a quick peck on the lips. "And though I don't say it as much as you do, you're quite adorable yourself, Em~" She smiled as Emily lay her head in Skye's lap, and she stroked the other girl's hair as she watched the movie, her fingers occasionally brushing Emily's cheek. Her eyes were focused on the movie, but she really wasn't paying attention. With all that had just happened, people getting dismembered by monsters wasn't nearly as exciting as having a girlfriend--not to mention getting over that pesky depressive phase.

Emily was very glad that Skye was equally content as she was. Truth be told she'd not realised for a while that she was developing feelings for the other woman, it had just sort of sprung on her. She had definitely not felt any attraction to Skye initially, or for a while. If anything the attraction had only started very recently after she realised that she enjoyed Skye's personality and emotions so much.

She enjoyed the kisses and the contact, as long as things didn't progress beyond that. For now. Blushing a little she turned her head in Skye's lap to reply, reaching up and stroking Skye's cheek. "I'm so happy that you've learned to like yourself. You seem so much happier, even when we're not, you know..." She smiled timidly.

"You taught me how to do that, Em," Skye whispered softly, looking down at Emily as her hand still ran through the other girl's hair, fingers occasionally lightly brushing her cheek. She leaned into her girlfriend's hand as she stroked her cheek, her hands bathing both of them in a soft pink light as her mohawk matched.

She didn't know exactly when those feelings emerged, all she remembered was when they were playing a game the last time they were here, she caught Emily looking at her and then found herself wanting to kiss the girl. She knew it probably surfaced before then, but she wasn't complaining. After all, here they were now, and Skye felt like they were both better for it.

Emily blushed and wriggled when Skye spoke, she turned her face away for a few moments and her legs and arms receded a little bit. Emotions could still be really hard. She took a breath and sat up a little bit, cupping Skye's head again before giving her another kiss. "I'm glad. Not so much that it was me that helped you, but more that you feel like that. It makes being around you more fun too~" She purred, leaning her head against Skye's shoulder again and closing her eyes.

She broke the kiss and blinked at the screen, the movie was over. That had gone quickly. She supposed she'd only half paid attention, Skye was here and Skye being here meant at least half of her attention span was being held hostage with cuddles. "So. That wasn't terrible." she giggled.

"What would you like to do now?"

"Well, you did. And our current relationship status notwithstanding, it really means a lot to me that you did," she said sincerely. Skye kissed her back tenderly, orange and pink lights alternating turns brightening up the area around them. "True, I'm a lot more fun happy. When I'm happy nothing explodes," she quipped with a slight giggle.

"It really wasn't that bad. The parts I actually caught, anyway," she teased, winking at Emily. "That's a good question. I mean, we can find another movie. Or I brought my game library, but that requires not cuddling. Or I could hook up my VCR and we can spend a few hours watching MMA fights from when i was like six and younger," she said with a smirk. She lay her head against Emily's, her arm wrapped around the other girl's waist and resting on her side.

Emily rolled her eyes for effect. "Well good." She really enjoyed closeness with Skye, kissing was really the height of that, it was about as physically close as they could get. "Funny, when I'm with you, especially this close to you I don't really notice other people. I'm sure there must have been people walking past or in other rooms at some point during the movie, but I only felt you." She admitted, blushing a little more.

Emily shifted her head against Skye so that Skye would not catch the fresh colouring of her cheeks. Emily more directly wrapped both arms around Skye and leaned back into her. "Well I'm feeling selfish and want all of your cuddles. So one of the things that's conductive to snuggles."

"If you want to do that now I'm totally up to it, I also don't mind snuggling you while you play a game. Or fishing another movie. I'm just happy as long as you're here with me." Honestly was weird.

"That makes me feel really special," Skye murmured, squeezing Emily just a little. "And you tend to keep a lot of the worst feelings at bay. I don't recall my flashbang ever going off around you, even when I was doing it a few times a week. I mean, you can generally tell when it's coming, but still."

Skye smiled bigger as Emily continued talking. "Well, I want all the snuggles too, and I really don't feel like moving," she murmured. It was nice, especially when Emily leaned into her more. She nuzzled into Emily a little, then just sat there a few moments before finally heaving a sigh and getting up and pulling out her game library.

She popped in a game she hadn't played in awhile: The Sundered Plane V, an RPG featuring both fantasy elements and firearms. Once it was set up, she plopped back on the bed, wrapping an arm around Emily and holding the controller.

"I've never tried playing and cuddling at the same time before; maybe I won't totally suck, eh?" she said with a laugh. Part of her wondered how far she'd even make it in game before they started kissing again, but either way it should be interesting, right?

It was kind of a given now that whenever Skye said or did anything particularly emotional or loving, Emily blushed. Her cheeks were going to get stuck on that setting at this rate, she wriggled and hid her face from Skye once more. "W-Wasn't trying, just being honest." She muttered awkwardly.

"Part of me wishes we'd done this over text, if only so I could actually physically hide my sheer awkwardness from you." She whispered.

Emily made a sound that could charitably be described as girlish glee when Skye responded to the snuggling comment in kind and she proceeded to bury her awkward red face in Skye's top. Just hiding there for a few moments before Skye sighed and went to set up a game. Her face had changed from cooked lobster to mildly sunburnt English girl. Which was an acceptable level of persistent awkward.

More giggles. Obviously. "I suppose we'll see." She fetched a blanket and pulled it up to them, snuggling up very close to Skye while she started playing, resting her head on Skye's shoulder and watching the screen.

"You're just a natural," she murmured, nuzzling her again. There was something about the closeness, about having someone show actual affection that she missed. It wasn't like those one night only deals; this was more lasting. Something you could count on to be there in the morning. Until it wasn't.

She shook the negative thoughts from her head. No. Emily wouldn't do that. No way. Right? Of course.

"Yeah but...I don't think it would have worked out like this through text," she said, her brow furrowing a bit. "Besides, sometimes you just gotta dive in and face whatever's making you feel like hiding. Normally works out better that way," she said with a smirk, her hair and lights flicking to that determined red-orange before settling on pink.

Skye nestled against Emily as she played, opting to start a new game. Going through character creation, she settled on an elf that she gave a bright pink mohawk. Her focus was a character that took the best of roguish and mage builds and put them together. Sneaky magic always made for a fun time. For awhile, she actually did pretty good.

But as time went on, she got more comfortable, focusing more on snuggling Emily, and she wound up in over her head on more than on occasion, leading to her dying and spewing a string of swear words before respawning and trying again. She leaned her head against Emily, still not doing as well as she would without having her girlfriend against her, but she was determined to make due. Inevitably she'd die, and she'd lean over and kiss Emily's cheek during the loading screens. Before long, she found her rhythm, and was really making progress.

"This is nice," she murmured as she nuzzled into Emily more. "Let me know when you're ready for something else, unless you'd be keen to watch me play like this all night, because honestly...I could."
