As Skye spoke to Emily, and the words brought upon mental images and thoughts of what followed she felt a little involuntary shiver run up her spine. "Part of me definitely wants to." She definitely didn't feel like she needed to elaborate too much on that, even if Skye couldn't pick up on emotions Emily's passion was pretty obvious, and Skye had been responding with her own.

Emily's arm shifted as she rolled over to place her arm across Skye's stomach, gently holding her. She still needed the contact. She listened, closely.

She didn't want them to... Wait what?

Emily had assumed it was her fault. Her hang ups, her fear that was causing the problem, that was causing Skye's hesitation. Was she lumping Emily in with her ex? That kind of hurt. A lot. She did her best to not let it show on her face.

"Wait. Skye do you think if we sl- If we-" What the hell was wrong with her? Why couldn't she say it? "If we carried on, do you think I'd lose interest or leave you? Do you think I'm like your ex?" Okay, there were tears welling. So much for hiding it.

"I mean it. There isn't anything wrong with you. You're special, not broken." She whispered, gazing up at the beautiful woman above her with a mixture of affection and awe. She really didn't know if she'd ever met anyone as intense as Skye, and that was part of what she loved about her most.

Emily flushed crimson red again. "I expected snuggles." Her voice was very quiet, much more timid than it usually was, none of the usual teasing edge. She was nervous, slightly uncomfortable and excited at the same time.

Emily stopped to plant a couple of small kisses on Skye's neck, her hands trailing up and down and softly dragging her nails across Skye's bare back. She was very glad that Skye was wearing something under the top. It was like a buffer. A barrier from this progressing further than she was ready for.

She planted a few kisses on Skye's neck and jaw before kissing her on the lips again with a fire she'd not felt... ever, really.

Emily listened to Gemma and nodded. She was pretty happy that Gemma had come to a similar conclusion where Alice was concerned. Emily had been through a similar situation to Alice, in some ways. And she'd also applied to university very recently, she knew Alice's likes and dislikes pretty well too. Family stuff aside, they were pretty straight with one another.

... Alice was so going to get her into trouble. Nope!

"Alice, there are plenty of other nerds at the university, especially if you're talking NYU. There are plenty of clubs and societies that would fit you, especially gaming. And as for the C.V specific stuff, it depends what you're looking for, but I assume finding work at all would help. Or doing some more volunteering." She tried to steer the topic very quickly before Alice could say anything stupid.

"We can take a look later."

Emily's hands had come to rest on Skye's bare back, clinging gently as she parted in the kiss, feeling Skye's tears gently making contact with her face, her own waterworks seemed to increase in volume. "I'm so lame." She murmured. She'd made her girlfriend cry. More than once, what was wrong with her?

Then Skye kissed her again. It made everything a little better. Her hands both gently ran down Skye's back. She was sad, and she was happy. She was excited, and she was terrified. Why were emotions so complicated?

She closed her eyes too and kissed back softly for a few more, much more intense moments before parting again. "I'm sorry."

How could she have been so stupid? Skye had been nothing but considerate about her timidness so far, why would she suddenly jump into something far ahead without asking Emily about it first? She was lame, and a moron, and stupid.

"I-" She paused, catching her very rapid breaths and slowing them down as best she could. "It's my fault." She murmured.

Emily was quite firmly grasping the bed sheets and looking quite determinedly at the floor when Skye sat next to her, the little kiss on her cheek did sent a flutter of elation through her. She didn't really look at Skye as Skye rolled up her shirt again and took a moment, and a steadying breath. "I'm so stupid." She murmured before turning to look at Skye's exposed back and shoulder.

A few shaky moments of quiet past and Emily smiled and softly reached out touch the image, running her fingers very gently across it. "I'm so sorry Skye. It's beautiful. It suits you." she paused before gently turning Skye's head and leaning in. "You are beautiful. Of course I approve." She planted a shaky, but eager kiss on her girlfriend.

How had Emily never noticed that before? She guessed she'd never pulled up Skye's shirt or anything, but they spent so much time cuddling, it was a slight surprise that she'd not felt it before. She was still looking when Skye was speaking, and unconsciously reached out and gently touched it, before realising what she was doing and backing off.

Emily looked back up, closing her eyes and shivering pleasantly when Skye ran fingers through her hair. It was something she really liked, it was an affectionate and totally innocent gesture. "you should dress however you feel comfortable around me. I don't want to you to feel like you need to change things around me." She admitted, she'd been concerned about Skye going into another relationship when she was barely over one.

"Oh reall-" Emily froze. W-why was she peeling off her shirt? Emily's heartbeat practically doubled and she took a shaky step backwards.

She was so not ready for this. When Skye had all but peeled the top off Emily was about 4 paces back, her hands bracing her against the bed. Kinda frozen.

Emily was pretty glad that Skye couldn't read her emotions most of the time. Whenever she was with Skye she felt like she was going to say or do the wrong thing, reveal too much of herself and not be able to close that book once Skye had a peek.  She was well aware she still had some issues to work through, and she didn't want to A: scare Skye off, or B: ruin their dynamic, because she loved it.

"Usually I do day dream of your cuteness, yes." She admitted, blushing as she did. Emily's fingers gently tapped on the bare waist. This was about as far as she was willing to go physically with another human being right now, she hoped Skye didn't hate her for it, somewhere deep down. For being so slow.

Emily's cheeks flushed further as she timidly replied. "Well in that case, unless it wasn't obvious you look beautiful today." She slid her cheek in next to Skye's and transitioned the embrace into more of a hug, and it totally wasn't partially because it let Emily hide her blush from her girlfriend, not at all.
