Ruth stood outside of Jay's door. He'd be done with the weight room right now. He didn't have a test this week. They should be able to have the whole evening to talk. And after the day Ruth had had the day before, and her inability to see Jay last night...

"We need to talk," she told him as soon as he arrived.

	"Thanks." She sits. "It's all really stupid, but I had a really lousy day yesterday. I was hanging around in Max's lab and...I kind of caused a bit of an accident. No injuries; we're fine, but ..." she blushes, and not in her normal cheerful Ruth way. "It destroyed our clothes. And things... just got worse from there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That's definitely not anything of the things he was expecting. He settles in with her, putting an arm around her. "That's... quite the lab accident. I'm just glad you're alright right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She clings on his arm a little. "...I still didn't have my clothes back yet when Riley came around the corner and bumped right into me and..." Scarlet. "He must have been thinking about Dinah beforehand, because he was... in a bit of a state, and I know it was just another freak accident, but it was the most absolutely humiliated I've felt in a while, and I just..." she clings more.

"...And...I feel like half the guys I know have seen me naked now, and none of them were you, and I really don't like that. So I wanted to have a good, grownup conversation about ... stuff. And whine about yesterday a little; I have to admit I wanted to whine about yesterday."

He bites back a knee jerk response. None of it was those guys' fault, and there's nothing to be jealous of, really. Some of it is just the Hawk in him getting his blood up.

He shakes it off - first, because Ruth and her needing him comes first. Second, there's the 'talk about stuff' in there, which has his attention.

He shifts a little on the bed, trying to get a bit more comfortable with picturing Ruth naked suddenly. She still needs serious talk time, after all.

"Ok, first, feel free to talk all you need. And if you want to talk about sex, we can... we... really should about now."

A nervous giggle. "Well, for one thing, I promise to avoid as much as possible ever bumping into any unfinished devices in a laboratory ever again." Sheepish smile, which then falls.

"And... I don't like letting this sound like, instead of the serious and nice relationship moment it was supposed to be, like I just want to catch you up with everyone else..." Ruth bites her lip. She knows it was just accidents, knows that it wasn't the same as doing something regrettable in a moment of loss self-respect, but... honestly, it's less that she's confused about the actual morals of the matter and more that she feels like she's let him down. He'd been good, waited so they could take things seriously, and then some farce happens and he's having to hold off a bad reaction, she just knows it...

	He blinks. Any kind of Hawk-anger is pretty much gone for now with the rest of that. "I'd... like that. Obviously... but we probably ought to... well, actually talk about what comes after the catching up part first." He hates to say it, but he desperately wants to never regret anything with Ruth.

"Yes. Yes, definitely. Serious grown-up conversation. Well, I don't want to rush anything, especially since... general admission here, my knowledge of sex is pretty much limited to reading all the Sunday School sex ed pamphlets. I totally agree with what they say about ways for a person to learn about her own body, but, um... It seems I'm no good at those. I'm pretty sure I'm not clinically frigid or anything, though." She looks at him and blushes. "So I don't think we'll need to worry about that."

He nods, trying to watch his words very carefully here, trying not to spoil the mood. "I... uhm... well, read more than pamphlets. And, I just want you to know there's no pressure, no rush. I know your family isn't all Catholic and all, but I'd always assumed there was still a 'wait for marriage' clause. But if you'd like to at least try and get a little more... intimate... I'm all for it."

"I can see how you'd get the impression, but just because it's serious business doesn't mean everything has to wait until the ink is dried on the paperwork. I love you, Jay. I know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you." And she manages a smile. "And y'know, Sir Thomas More had a good point. If we're going to do that, we should at least see what we're getting first."

	At first, he just looks surprised. Pleasantly, but still. Then a wide smile spreads across his face. "No argument here. We...uhm... well... before we start getting caught up..." Still trying hard to be mature and patient, difficult as that is right now. "Did you have any questions, anything specific you... might want to discuss before...?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, this is getting ahead of ourselves, but just for future reference, the doctors have thoroughly checked you out since... you know... the other times, right?" She hates referring to Jay's... less self-respecting times, but they're there and a big girl should acknowledge them. "I mean, I assume so, even though it isn't a related-to-football thing..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rockchalk 2012-02-07 08:43 am UTC (link)
	He bites his lip, then nods. Its a fair question. "Yeah, clean bill of health. It may not seem related, but football players bleed and all. And they have to do drug testing and other work anyhow... so... yeah. I'm fine for that, and... well, I know everything works." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, I can guarantee the health, but I'm just taking the fact that everything works as a good guess. We can just get used to each other initially, and you can tell me what you like, and we'll...figure out what I like. I may not--" scarlet. "Be able to get anywhere by myself, but I'm pretty sure I'm capable of normal, healthy sexuality when I look at you." A sheepish smile, and she goes in for a kiss.

	He kisses her back, arms helping draw her into him. "I can do that. I would like to know what you think you might like too." he agrees, when the kiss breaks, though his hands are wandering over her a bit more. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2012-02-07 08:55 am UTC (link)
	She cuddles against him, gets herself into his lap. "We'll try to sort that out." Her hands move to get his shirt off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rockchalk 2012-02-07 09:00 am UTC (link)
	He helps her with that, peeling his shirt off and tossing it aside. "Your turn." he replies, moving to help get her out of her top as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2012-02-07 09:03 am UTC (link)
	And Ruth will run her hand over her chest before getting the top off, and folding it -- because she has to fold it; it's just the way things are. She holds her head up a bit proudly as she puts her arms around his neck, invites him to get the bra. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rockchalk 2012-02-16 03:02 am UTC (link)
	No, he will never explain where he learned to undo a bra clasp with one hand. He figures she won't ask, and its best that way. It does take two attempts and a couple extra seconds... these are Ruth's bare breasts, after all. He pulls the garment away, and can't help but just admire the sight openly a few seconds. "Perfect." he breathes out quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2012-02-16 03:32 am UTC (link)
	Ruth doesn't need any explanation, and when he says that, she blushes. She touches his face and mutters "No need to exaggerate." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rockchalk 2012-02-16 03:36 am UTC (link)
	"No exaggerations. They're almost as beautiful as your eyes." he replies, before pressing in to kiss her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2012-02-16 03:45 am UTC (link)
	And she kisses back happily, hands pressed flat to his chest. "I love you, Jay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rockchalk 2012-02-16 03:54 am UTC (link)
	"I love you too." he replies, drawing her in close to him, his chest pressed firm to her breasts, flattening them against him while his hands start to roam over all the bare flesh they newly have access to and can reach. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2012-02-16 04:03 am UTC (link)
	And being a bit sensitive, and this being a very new experience, Ruth will already be making soft little sounds in response to each touch as she cuddles against him, lips pressed to his shoulder. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rockchalk 2012-02-16 04:25 am UTC (link)
	He urges her back gently, starting with more kissing, then slowly trailing down, lips, tongue, and light brushes of teeth over her lips, her jawline, her neck, working down towards one breast in a slow, steady trail of kisses, licks and small nips. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2012-02-16 04:34 am UTC (link)
	She repositions as suggested, then starts to gasp a little as he works his way down. The fingers of one hand dig into his arm, while the others run through his hair, stroke down his neck. "Yes, please, Jay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
