Beauty before the beast

Alexis sighed heavily as she stared into the uncertain eyes of Yuki, ice blue orbs searching each other for answers. "It will mean exactly what it means, Yukes. You care for Lily, and she knows that... trust me. If we sleep together it'll just mean that we care about each other too. Or, hell, maybe it'll just mean that you also found me kinda sexy. The point is, we're talking about your heart and your body. No one here is staking any claim on you; we can't. So what you give is exactly what you give. If you want to give Lily your heart and your ass, you can. If you want to share one or both of those with me, I can accept that." She couldn't remember the last time she'd talked this much when she wasn't just spouting shit.

Yuki looked at her, "You mean that?"

Maybe she could explore with Anne...to see what these feelings were....

Alexis blinked as if puzzled by Yuki's question. "Of course, hon." These concepts came naturally to the young anarchist, but she easily forgot that not everybody lived such uninhibited lives as she. "If you want me I'm willing to be had, at any level you want to have me. For my part, I know I have feelings for you... sorta sexy, protective feelings. Like, I wanna hold you in all of the dirtiest ways and headbutt anyone who tries hurting you." It wasn't exactly love, but as close as Anne got without a change of lifestyle.

Yuki smiled. It wasn't a confession of love, but she was sure Anne meant well by it.

"You are welcome to stay the night...though I don't think I will be going anywhere beyond some making out...you drained me back at the gym." she giggled.

Anne lifted a hand up to touch her palm against Yuki's cheek affectionately. Her own feelings were incomprehensibly complicated, but they found clear and simple expression in her actions. It was obvious that when she tried to express herself verbally that the complexity was exposed, but it also exposed that the rocker was more eloquent that many would give her credit for. "I'd like that, Yukes."

Yuki sighed, leaning into Anne's warm hand with a small smile, before gently taking her friend's hand and leading her inside her apartment.

"Make yourself at home," she giggled, squeezing Anne's hand affectionately.

Following Yuki inside with a contented smile she stopped just inside of the door to slip her feet out of her shoes without untying them. "Might wanna be careful with that. I don't wear pants at home." Giggling she would flop herself down onto the nearest couch-type object she could find.

Yuki's face flushed a bit at the statement, moving to sit down close to her. "Well that isn't too bad. After all I did see your panties in the ring not too long ago."

Anne, however, kept her pants on for the time being. "Well, let's just take things one step at a time, hmm?" When Yuki sat down she would slip her arms delicately about the girl's shoulders, pulling her against her chest just to hold her there affectionately. She let the pale princess set the pace, so if Yuki wanted to stop at snuggling on the couch that would be as far as they'd go.

Yuki smiled up at her, sighing contently as she felt the gentle beat of Anne's heart. Slowly, she raised her head to capture Anne's lips in a soft kiss, raking one of her pale hands through her friend's soft hair.
