Still good. I trust you.

[Chrissy smiles. He pulls away first, and she takes the opportunity to catch her breath.]

But since we're sharing, I'm fine with taking things as slowly as you need to.

[Jason nods, his expression softening.]

Last girl was an assassin using me for information, so thanks. I think I'll get there, just not right now.

[Not the most romantic talk, but it at least she knows where he stands.]

[bubblegumheart]

That's horrible. I'm sorry that happened to you.

[Somehow, it's not even the weirdest thing she's heard lately.]

It's okay if you're not there right now. You're worth waiting for.

[At her reply, Jason's expression lights up and then softens. He leans in to kiss her again, more firmly than before. It's really nice to have someone that seems to be okay with where he is in life.]

[Chrissy smiles and leans into the kiss. She's torn between wanting to know more and just being horrified that someone would ever treat him that way. In the end, she decides she'd rather focus on this moment than worry about someone so obviously not worth his time or energy.]

[Jason keeps the kiss mild, barely opening his lips to her as he runs a hand down her back. He hopes Chrissy likes it, otherwise he might be in some real trouble.]

[bubblegumheart]

[The thing is... Chrissy's only ever been with one person, and it had been pretty underwhelming. Kissing Jason is amazing, though. Being in his arms feels right. The kiss is soft and sweet, and the hand trailing down her back makes her smile.]

[Jason rubs the small of her back as they kiss. It's very different from Rose, who was like fire burning through a dry forest. When Jason needed someone she knew how to talk with him. Chrissy talks to him because she wants to, hangs out with him because she likes him.

Everything about Chrissy is different and he is finding he really enjoys it.]

DW did not want to send this one today lmao

[It's unfair to make comparisons because everyone's situation is different. Chrissy knows that, and so she tries to avoid doing it. Jason had actually reminded her a bit of Vance when they first met, and they're similar enough in a couple of ways that thinking too hard about it makes her heart hurt.

But they're different in the ways that really matter, and Chrissy has come to realize that if she had to choose a favorite, it would be Jason. He makes her feel wanted without being clingy or pushy and he's just easy to be around in general, which is honestly as close to perfect as she's ever likely to get.

Which is why she's willing to wait and take things as slowly as he needs to, despite how much she'd like to push for more now. His hand feels nice on her back, and she can't decide what to do with her free hand, so she settles for setting it on his shoulder for now.]
