Who: Lapis, Peridot & Lambert (later)
When: Between Week 2 and Week 3
Where: Peridots House
What: hormonal young adults
Warnings: its steamy and then extremely not steamy who trusted me to write this description ITS LEWD

Lapis likes to believe that the only reason she bothers coming to Lamberts' house now that her unwanted dog visitor has departed is because of Pumpkin, and certainly not the vague feelings of comfort and familiarity that Peridots' presence brings. Unfortunately while she can verbally deny such things, she's still drawn in by the other girl all the same.

Maybe it's just hormones. It's probably hormones, right? Lapis leans over Peridot, resting her arms and weight on her shoulders and looking around to her current studies

"Multi-universe theory." She comments, a hint of disappointment. Of course it's weird stuff. Why wouldn't it be weird stuff? Why wouldn't her life just give her something normal to deal with for once? "Seriously? Don't you have better hobbies?"

...Peridot just goggles at her, eyes wide and round. What... what the heck... Did she hear that right? Did she really just ask that?

"I... Can't tell if you're being serious or not," she says in a small voice after a moment, brows meeting in a look of vague concern. Like. Why would she be serious? Lapis basically said it herself. In Peridot's chest does not beat the heart of a romantic.

"Well, I could kiss you right here and now and say i'm being absolutely serious, but I'm not about to get smacked for the effort. But yeah, i'm serious." And if Peridot wants it, then she'll kiss her.

"Oh my goodness. You are. You're serious," Peridot babbles, almost more to herself than to Lapis. She glances down into her lap where she's fidgeting her thumbs against one another, eyes becoming slightly unfocused. This is... This kind of situation is unprecedented? NONE OF HER TRAINING FROM THE TEEN DRAMA SCHOOL OF ROMANCE PREPARED HER FOR THIS?

Her head snaps back up to look at Lapis suddenly, face hot. "I-It's not that I'm disinterested!" Peridot says way too loudly, and winces at her own volume, immediately correcting. "It's just that IIII... Don't really know what I'm doing...?" she explains, words pitching up at the end of the sentence.

"Well, thankfully at least one of us does then, yeah?" Lapis leans in real close, taking Peridot by the chin like one of those terrible teen romance dramas. It's here that she stops, though. "If I kiss you you better not smack me."

Peridot's eyes are wide and bright, literally about as close as a real person can get to looking like she just jumped straight out of a shoujo manga page. It's kind of ridiculous. She can feel her heart pounding against her ribs. What the heck, this is all happening so suddenly and so QUICKLY--

"I won't!" she says indignantly, tense with anticipation. Just be cool Peridot. BE COOL.

Well, Lapis will take that as gospel, because she closes the remaining distance between them with her lips. There it is, Peridot, there's your kiss, and Lapis is going to wait expectantly to see just how she reacts to it. And get ready to pull back if need be.

She reacts by locking up, for one. Their lips touch and... well, it's nothing like the magical, charmingly clumsy but picture perfect moments that she's seen happen in all the romance movies. There's no moment of hesitation followed by a flash of inspiration to tell her exactly what to do here. There's no instinct to kick in, her inexperience isn't magically cured by that single smooch. Instead, it's like Lapis making contact sends an electrical shock through Peridot's whole body, shorting her brain out with overwhelming emotion like the inexperienced little nerd she is.

That's not to say she doesn't really absolutely very much feel overwhelmingly positive about it, though. If Lapis bothers to separate, she'll see Peridot sitting there looking absolutely gobsmacked, like she's only just seeing things clearly for the very first time.

"Wow," she says in a small voice, her eyes wide with wonderment.

You chose this Lapis. JUST REMEMBER THAT.

Yeah, she chose this. And for some unknown reason, she really wouldn't have it any other way? It's weird, and Lapis could probably do better than some shut in nerd, but that's not really the point here.

The point, is that Lapis seems a little stunned from the kiss too, and she follows up Peridot's little 'Wow' with a heavily appraising look... And then she's back on her again, kissing her that much harder, because, well, why not?

At least now Peridot is a bit more confident about kissing back. She's tentative at first, and then increasingly clumsy, but uh. Hopefully her enthusiasm makes up for it?

Feeling bold, she puts a hand on Lapis's thigh to steady herself, as she tries to rise to meet the other woman's height a bit more closely.

It could really be better. It absolutely, positively could be better, and Lapis is going to have to chalk this up to a learning experience for poor Peridot, because there's just no way she's kissed anyone besides family before, and familial kissing just isn't exactly going to cut it.

Lapis moves her hand on top of Peridots' and... slides it further up her thigh while leaning forward into the kiss, the quirk of her lips at least indicating she's more amused than anything else? Peridot has that going for her, at least.

Peridot breaks off at this moment, startled by Lapis shifting her hand for her. Cheeks flushed, she blinks with uncertainty, first at her hand and then up at Lapis, like, wait, are you actually saying what I think you're saying?

Lapis doesn't really say anything to the look, instead quirking her lip upwards in an amused fashion and giving a small shrug. She's not going to force Peridot, but the offer is certainly there. It's up to Peridot to decide whether or not she wants to continue.

The staring persists. Peridot looks like she's starting to sweat a little, with the effort of figuring out what to say.

"...So I know this may come as a huge surprise to you," she says after a moment, tone mild, "But I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing."

Honesty is definitely the best policy in all situations, right?

"Really? I had no idea that you'd have no idea what you were doing. You seemed like someone who would have had a lot of experience." Lapis replies in a completely casual tone, squeezing Peridot's hand just enough to make Peridots' hand squeeze her thigh. And then she moves it to the hem of her shirt.

"You alright with seeing how far we can take this?"

Is she...? In a more logical sense, this all just seems so sudden. She's only been hanging out with Lapis for a few weeks now. Hell, that smooch followed by that all-too-brief makeout session just now was literally her first attempt at kissing anyone. Ever. Is she really prepared to take this thing even further...?

Something in her gut-- and really, Peridot isn't usually one for following instinct, so feeling this strongly about something despite a lack of concrete evidence is a new one on her-- tells her that yeah. She's ready. She's ready because for whatever reason, Lapis feels worth making that jump for. Because it doesn't feel like it has only been a few weeks that they've been friends. Peridot likes her, trusts her implicitly in a way that should be completely illogical, ludicrous, ill-advised even, but it feels seems right.

"Yeah," Peridot says after a beat, flashing a small but confident grin. "I think I'm willing to learn a thing or two."

"Great, because I'm willing to teach." Peridot isn't the only one who this feels that this all seems sudden but also a long time coming. Thankfully, Lapis has more important things in mind than questioning feelings at the moment. Like leaning in to press her forehead against Peridots', leaving little room between their mouths.

"Just follow my lead." She closes the distance between their lips for another very important make out session, hands leaving Peridots so she can work one up under Peridots' shirt, and the tussle the other into her hair.

Peridot lets out a little groan of satisfaction at the touch of Lapis's lips, the feeling of fingers threading through her hair. She's hyper aware of the fact that she can't decide on what to do with her own hands, both hovering nervously in the air, fingers fidgeting and clenching involuntarily unable to settle. In the end, she decides to rest one at Lapis's waist, the other nervously gripping the sheets of the bed.

This is kind of still a lot for her to be dealing with at once, but... it's overwhelming in a way that she kind of appreciates. It's certainly not unpleasant. Plus, things are a little easier to process with Lapis taking on the burden of the lead...

Lapis makes a small amused sound when Peridot's hands don't exactly follow her lead. It's fine, Peridot will (hopefully) come around eventually to the whole groping session. And while she works up the nerve, Lapis works up her hand higher, tracing along the under curve of her breast.

When it becomes clear that Peridot is apparently too star struck by Lapis' extreme skill (and ego), she pulls away from the kiss, and raises an eyebrow, though she still looks the farthest thing away from disappointed or mad. "If you feel like being a pillow queen though, I'm sure I can manage with that too." Did she just wink? She just winked.

She's also going back now, to kiss down the side of Peridot's neck, and, naturally, bring a bit of teeth into the mix. Gently, though. She has no idea how she might react to it.

"If I feel like being a wha--? aa-aaaah--??"

Peridot stiffens with surprise at the feeling of Lapis's teeth on her neck, emitting a questioning sound. Quickly enough, though, she relaxes into the sensation, and then she finds herself arching her spine, sinking against the other woman with a hiss, fingers tightening against her hip.

She's still nervous about this, still uncertain and uncoordinated, but she lifts her other hand off the bed and shakily searches out the hem of Lapis's shirt, sliding it up her side while Lapis continues to kiss her.

Lapis makes a mental note to educate Peridot on what a pillow queen is later. Right now is for making her mark on the other girl. Literally. She's going to need a scarf by the time Lapis is done with her, because from what she can understand from Peridots' behaviour, it's not no. If anything, it seems to have finally spurred her into action, and that's something that Lapis can absolutely live with.

She shifts just slightly in the hopes that it might get the message across that it's totally alright for Peridot to shove her hand up her shirt, that she doesn't need to just hover uselessly at her side. In fact, Lapis will give a choice squeeze of her own. She's helpful like that.

The fact that anything Lapis is doing might be leaving visible marks barely even crosses Peridot's mind. She makes another embarrassing sound when squeezed, immediately biting down on her own lip trying to get herself to shut the heck up.

All of this is spurring her to do something. Peridot isn't one to let herself be outdone, even of its in an arena that she has little experience in. So her hand slides up her back and she goes clumsily fishing for the clasp of Lapis's bra, because getting rid of that seems like a logical step to take in order to achieve optimal chest groping?

The trouble of living with siblings with no sense of personal space is, quite frankly, that they have no sense of personal space. Which is unfortunate given neither party in the room has had the foresight to do something practical like lock the door.

So it's with absolutely no warning at this point that Lambert just walks into the room in like he owns the place. The first thing he really notices, incongruously, is the DVD of teen drivel Peridot loves so much still on the bed, but from his general distracted demeanor, he isn't immediately registering anything else. "Hey Dot, have you seen the--"

He stops, mid-sentence, as he looks up to actually take in the scene before him and blinks, very slowly. It's a long frozen pause while his expression tries to figure out what to do with itself, here.

Lambert walks in about the same time that Peridot manages to undo the clasp on her bra and also the same time Lapis moved to give her another hickey.

Lapis freezes when she hears him speak as her brain tries to catch up with what has just happened. She also has a brief thought that maybe she should have locked the door, mixed with the thought that Lambert is apparently extremely rude and doesn't know the value of knocking and that this is all his fault.

The real tragedy here is that all of this happened so quickly that, even though Peridot had picked up on the sound of her brother approaching the door with her ridiculous bat hearing, there was no way on earth that she could have reacted quickly enough to avert this disaster without somehow breaking several laws of physics. When she recounts this moment upon later reflection, she's going to remember it all like it happens in slow motion: the footfalls in the hall coming closer and closer. The turning of the knob, the door creaking open right as Lapis puts her stupid attractive mouth on her stupid neck again--

And here they are. Peridot is frozen as well. Her eyes are straining to the side, unable to tear her gaze away from Lambert while he struggles to figure out what to do with his face, she herself experiencing a panic so intense her brain just stops and blanks itself out. This is literally the worst thing that has ever happened to her in her entire life. She is never going to live this down? Her life is ruined. She is never going to be able to look Lambert in the eye again, part of her is thinking that she should shove Lapis off to try to save face but she finds herself quite unable (or perhaps just disinclined, still) to disentangle herself from the other woman, so. Yeah. They're all just going to sit/stand here frozen and stare at each other in silence for a second, Lambert being Lambert, Peridot and Lapis still comically tangled up in each other like a pair of horny teenagers. And as the nanoseconds tick by, fraction by fraction, Peridot's stress levels continue to spike until--

Poof. OUTRAGED SQUEAK.

Because of the way Lapis had her hand up Peridot's shirt, the garment is still suspended in the air, but now there's a bat butt hanging out the end of it, and the rest of Peridot is still trapped somewhere inside of it.

"H-HAVEN'T YOU EVER HEARD OF KNOCKING!?!" the shirt squawks, breaking the silence at last.

A better man would have turned and left them to their privacy. A better man is not Lambert. Peridot's outburst seems to break the spell and he slouches, resting a shoulder against the doorframe. Notably, he's doing absolutely nothing to help Peridot out of her predicament, his gaze focused solely on Lapis, who he's regarding with raised brows.

"So ..." he drawls, slow and drawn out. "Since when, exactly, have you been canoodling my sister?"

If he pretends the bat isn't capable of talking, surely that's a valid strategy for pretending it's not Peridot, isn't it?
