[ This is a bad idea, probably. A stupid idea. He doesn't even know if Harley feels the same way he does. Maybe she just wants to stay friends with benefits. It's not like it hasn't been working out for them so far, right?
But Jesse wants more. Harley's like no one he's ever met - smart and funny and fascinating, sexy and fun, kind and generous. He loves having sex with her, loves hanging out with her and just chilling, but he cares about her, too. Even thinking about her gives him happy butterflies in his stomach. And after what she'd said in the bathhouse, about wanting what they do together to be more than some tally mark on a list? He's started to let himself hope that she might feel the same way.
He just hopes he doesn't fuck everything up just by asking her. But he has to try, and the movie marathon in Activities seems like the perfect excuse. He clears his throat, going for casual and friendly when he calls her. ]
[ It isn't weird to see Jesse's username pop up on her tablet--yeah, of course, they've been spending a decent amount of time together. But, she's still surprised every time at the way her stomach flips over itself. Butterflies? Maybe. Feels more like a kick to the gut. But in the best way. It's starting to scare her a little bit, but of course she rights herself on the edge of her bed and holds the tablet in both hands, pressing a couple of buttons to answer. ]
Hey! Jesse! I'm good. What's up? How's it goin'?
[ She can only hope she doesn't sound too eager...or that she didn't answer too quickly. ]
[ It's a relief when Harley answers right away, before Jesse has a chance to start overthinking or second-guessing himself. He grins when he hears her voice, glad no one can see him right now. ]
Going okay, you know. Not much happening.
[ Not since Harley and Nebula had completed their 'punishment,' at least. It seems that Jesse and Wade had gotten away with their visits to solitary after all.
He hesitates, feeling awkward and unsure - nothing he's used to feeling around Harley. She's usually so easy to talk to. But his nerves are getting to him, and he decides to just go for it rather than trying to make small talk first. Better to get it over with, one way or the other, right? ]
So, uh, did you see about that movie marathon they're doing?
Oh, okay. Well, that's usually a good thing around here.
[ No news is good news in Horny Jail, right? ]
Yeah, I did. Seems like they're trying to make up for that whole fiasco with the sexbots and the Jnnfrs goin' all postal.
[ She laughs. It's funny now, in retrospect, even though it hadn't been so funny while it had actually been happening. Luckily she'd gotten away pretty much unscathed from that whole situation. ]
Are...you thinkin' about goin'?
[ Harley's trying to check the temperature of the situation. She doesn't want to come off as desperate or over-eager, but she doesn't want to come off as disinterested either. Why is this all so difficult suddenly? Why is she suddenly second-guessing how and what she says when she can't remember the last time she really had a filter. It's the butterflies, she thinks to herself but she doesn't dare say that aloud. The last thing she wants to do is scare Jesse away, when it feels like all she wants to do is spend time with him and get to know him more and more. Dammit, Harls. Get a hold of yourself. ]
[ Definitely a good thing. No news is usually good news, around here. Jesse laughs too, happy to hear Harley laughing. He'd definitely been caught up in the whole sexbot mess, but on the whole, things had gone better than they might have.
But then Harley asks, and Jesse sobers, trying to build up his courage. This is it. At least she seems interested in what his plans are, right? And she hadn't said she thinks the whole movie marathon sounds like a stupid idea, or anything. So. ]
Yeah, I think it could be cool, y'know? I mean, at least it's something different to do.
[ He's not exactly selling the idea, is he? Jesse winces, taking a breath. ]
Actually, I was thinking, um, would you...wanna go with me?
Like...like as a date?
[ There it is. He winces, silently cursing himself for sounding like a dork, but he has to be clear. The only thing worse than Harley turning him down would be Harley agreeing, only for him to discover later that she'd assumed they were just going as friends.
Speaking of which. ]
If...if you don't want to, or you just wanna go and like, hang out, that's totally cool. No pressure or anything.
[ Harley is about to jump on Jesse's words with an answer when he tacks on those other words. A date? Okay. Don't freak out. Don't. Freak. Out. She's freaking out. And it's probably best that Jesse decided to voice chat over a video call because Harley's absolutely definitely not jumping up and down on her bed right now. It dawns on her that he can probably hear a commotion in the background, though, so she settles down, the mattress still bouncing slightly from her outburst as she sits on it cross-legged. ]
That sounds really nice.
[ Nice? Harley, what the fuck? GET IT TOGETHER. ]
I'm--you're not pressuring me. I'd like that a lot, actually.
[ She's trying to find the fine balance between being over-eager and sounding disinterested but it's really hard to even make cohesive thoughts and sentences when she's smiling so big that her cheeks are actually hurting? Okay, thank whatever God is out there that this wasn't a video chat. Good call, Jesse. Literally. ]
[ Crap. He doesn't want her to worry, but they had promised to be honest with each other. He'd want to know, if it was her (again). And it's not like she wouldn't find out eventually, anyway. ]
so i stole a truck awhile back, with keith. he kinda programmed it to...crash into the fence?
i thought maybe they forgot about it or something cause i hadnt heard anything. but we both just got our punishments
its 3 days in solitary and 3 community service
[ And another act added to his sentence, but whatever. It's not like he's rushing to check those off, anyway. ]
[ At first, Harley wants to laugh because it honestly sounds like some kind of hijinx that she would be getting up to herself. Okay, maybe she does laugh a little. At least they're texting and not video-chatting because it means she can get away with it. She contemplates telling Jesse that it's kind of hot...the visual of him stealing a truck. He's been nothing but sweet to her, and she really likes that. But the thought of being with someone who doesn't always like playing by the rules is kind of a turn-on for her. ]
is it bad that i think that's kind of hot?
i mean the truck thing.
misconducts suck.
[ She winces at his sentence and forces herself to be more serious about all this, though the lightheartedness was meant to keep Jesse calm about the whole thing (and herself...definitely herself). ]
[ He doesn't particularly want to be doing this, or spending time around other people at all, but apparently capitalism is still a thing around here and needs fucking must. So. ]
Got anything on your sentence you want knocked off
Wow, good morning to to you too. You always this direct?
[ There's a hint of laughter in her tone, though, not offended by his approach even if it caught her by surprise. She can appreciate people who don't beat around the bush and just get straight to the point. ]
Hmm...I don't know. Mirrors? Gags/silence? What're you in the mood for? Might as well make shit fun for everyone, right? Is there anything on yours you want off?
[ Not that casual sex was ever his thing, five or take some regrettable—and very drunken—hookups before the world ended. But needs must and all that, and Harley seems less likely to make this weird than some of his other options. ]
Don’t care. Pick something. No bondage.
[ He’s really not in the mood for that, giving or receiving. ]Â
Good. It's annoying as fuck when people can't just say what they mean.
[ Harley knows she's pushing it with this small-talk but it might make things a little more fun if Carver has some steam he needs to blow off by the time they meet up. ]
Hmm...okay, ummm...d'you know what ritual is? 'cause I sure the hell don't.
[ The no bondage request is fine by her. She's only had bad experiences being restrained by people she doesn't trust or know well enough. ]
Ugh! No thank you. I guess mirrors is the least constraining one. Just do whatever the fuck you want with a mirror in the room, right? Sounds fine to me.
