[ for a second she isn't gonna let him pull back, shifting her head to kiss him more directly... but that only does last for a second, because then she's breaking it and dropping her forehead to his and exhaling a sort of pathetic self-depreciating laugh through her nose. ]
Space is stupid, [ she decides, just barely above a whisper. this whole stupid mess is stupid. here just a month ago back in boston, she thought she was finally over the hill, thought that everything was finally done being ridiculous and convoluted, but nope. ]
[ The gentleness of it is pretty nice, and when she leans her forehead against his, Bells licks at his bottom lip and considers just kissing her again. But that's probably not why she really came here, so he continues to twist his fingers through her hair and gives a slight hum of agreement at that. ]
Pretty damn stupid. [ Bells lightly bumps their noses together. ] Sometimes it's better though. You'll get used to it.
[ and for a second, she just lets their mutual opinions hang in the little bit of air between them, her eyes closed but the forehead-to-forehead contact maintained. then: ]
It's a little better right now. [ by 'right now' she means 'in this proximity', because realistically, the situation still blows. ]
[ Maybe he laughs a little bit at that, wondering just how it could really be that much better. She doesn't know him, doesn't know the problems he'll cause if she gets too close. But that's... probably something he should think about some other time. ]
Yeah, I guess it so. [ And he slides his hand down her side to curl it around her waist. ] It kinda sucks, but I'd have never met all these people I'm glad I know if I hadn't come here.
