Cisco Ramon / Vibelays on his rooftop, reaching into a bag of gummies and tossing one into his mouth
“God, what a week.”
αℓєχιѕ.@CiscoVibe Suddenly, a pair of black painted lips were at his ear.
"Surprise," they whispered.
@ThxPunchline Cisco choked on the gummy, coughing
“WHAT THE…”
@CiscoVibe Punchline chuckled softly, leaning back.
"Who needs a knife to kill when choking on a gummy will do just fine."
@ThxPunchline Cisco swallows and looks at her
“I mean, those gummies haven’t even hit y-…I mean, I’m fine. Totally fine.”
he gave her a thumbs up
@CiscoVibe "Oh. They're edibles. I see..."
She crossed one leg over the other.
"I suppose my invitation will have to wait, then."
@ThxPunchline “Invi-…wait. Wait wait wait. Hold up.”
he held up one finger
“Just had one. And…doesn’t seem to have affected me yet. You could still…invite.”
@CiscoVibe She quirked a brow, her dark eyes glancing to the side to look at him.
"... I came to invite you over," she told him. "I suppose I could have called or texted... But scaring you was so much more fun." Her lips curved a little at the corner and she turned her head so she was facing him fully.
"... When you show up, be sure to wear clothes you are not attached to. And bring a change of them for when you leave."
@ThxPunchline Cisco nods, finger guns and rushes to his bedroom to grab some clothes
@CiscoVibe Punchline waited for him to collect his things, eyeing his residence as he did. It was the first time she'd been here, though she'd known where it was for quite some time.
Well... The first time that she'd been here that he knew about, anyway.
@ThxPunchline His apartment seemed mostly standard. Nothing too spectacular. Notably though, there was a great deal of movie posters along the wall, and some sci-fi figurines near the television.
Cisco stepped out moments later, ironically wearing much fancier clothes than he’s used to. A white button up shirt, and a vest, and a tie…it was a clip on.
@CiscoVibe Punchline rose an eyebrow at his attire. "You would like me to ruin *that?*" She shrugged. "Very well. Come."
She turned and headed for the exit.
@CiscoVibe It didn't make a difference to her.
She had a taxi waiting at the curb for them, and she stepped in and slid over.
@ThxPunchline Cisco followed her, putting on a pair of sunglasses as he stepped inside. He stared forward, his leg shaking.
@CiscoVibe As the taxi driver began driving, she glanced over at him. "Nervous?" She asked him, noticing his leg.
@ThxPunchline “Hmm?”
he looks down at his leg and stops it
“Uh, not really. Well…maybe a little. Last time was an…eye opening experience. To say the least.”
@CiscoVibe "There's no need to rush things," she told him. "We can ease into new things... It can be a lot for anyone."
@ThxPunchline Cisco’s face went red as he avoided looking at the driver or Alexis
“…I…liked it last time. I’m sure I’ll like it this time…”
@CiscoVibe She looked at him directly, her expression calm and poised. "You can have enjoyed it but also feel overwhelmed. That's a perfectly normal reaction."
She reached over and placed her hand on his thigh, giving it a squeeze.
@ThxPunchline Cisco jolted slightly, looking down at her hand.
“I’m…overwhelmed every day. I risk my life every day. And…well, sometimes it’s good to get away from all that.”
@CiscoVibe "I agree... I could sense you were in desperate need of the release from when I first met you." Her lips curled a little at the corner.
@ThxPunchline Cisco buried his face in his hands, his embarrassment increasing
“Yeah. It had…been a while. And that was one hell of a way to break a dry spell.”
@CiscoVibe Her lips curled up into a smirk at the memory.
The taxi stopped in front of her apartment. She leaned forward and paid the driver, then stepped out.
@ThxPunchline Cisco followed her, sticking his hands in his pockets. He looked around nervously
“…Ah. Memories. Was sore for a couple of days.”
@CiscoVibe "Good." She smiled and headed inside, leading him up the stairs. She unlocked her apartment door once she got there and opened it for him.
@ThxPunchline Cisco smiled, stepping inside.
“I…Alright. So…”
he let out a sigh of relief the moment he stepped inside
“…Not gonna lie. First time I did this I was…terrified. But now? I mean…still a little but…I sort of like the thrill.”
@CiscoVibe "That's the idea." She closed the door behind him. "Do you want a drink before we start? Water?"
@ThxPunchline “Maybe…Maybe after. If it’s anything like last time, I’m going to feel…exhausted.”
@CiscoVibe "Very well." She beckoned him to follow her as she walked towards the bedroom.
@ThxPunchline Cisco followed quietly, dropping off his bag of spare clothes at the door. The bag he has always had with him. From the very beginning
