[Relief rises up in her chest like a flood, sweeping away any lingering apprehension. She didn't know how Venus would react to being told something like that. Terezi didn't think it would be bad, but who knows how "I made out with a shadow double of you" will go over with someone? That's pretty weird for most people to hear.]

Other than the part where we were both fucked up and sad? Yeah. It was pretty nice! That's part of why I freaked out so bad. It was just a whole mess of feelings I didn't know how to handle for a while.

[She sits up all the way now, pressing her face into the hand that hovered close by. It's nice, being touched like this.]

Not anymore, though.

[Something moves her, then, the feeling of wanting and the confidence to reach out for it, encouraged by Venus's receptiveness. She can do anything now. It's okay for her to kiss and make out with someone who wants to, or bury her fingers in soft feathers, or a hundred others things. The only thing stopping her now is herself, so she rolls over, up and onto her knees, and drapes herself above Venus.]

So. [She waggles her eyebrows.] You've thought about me, huh? [She sniffs down at Venus, watching for her reaction. Is this okay? Is this alright?]
