Sol/Tang 43. Watching me while I sweat from exercising

She laughs, coming to sit down by Tangent's side. "It's not that bad. I'm not saying you need to come with me, but... I dunno, I just think it's fun!"

Sol's grinning at her in that way that always makes Tangent feel like there's ants crawling up her spine, her eyes curled up and warm and bright. The smell of her is all around, disgusting with sweat, inescapably present. Even if Tangent were to close her eyes she couldn't possibly escape. So instead she tilts her head and says, "Mm, I can think of more enjoyable ways to work up a sweat."

There. Sol goes even pinker at that, eyes darting away as her head ducks and her smile twists shyly. "Jeez, Tang, I mean, yeah, but...."

It's always a nice feeling, leaving Sol lost for words. Tangent reaches out, lets her fingers rest on the back of Sol's hand with promise. "Yes, Solanaceae?"

Another pause, before Sol laughs again and then leans forward, face half-hidden by her knees. "Oh, nevermind. I can't believe you can just say that kind of stuff so easily."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"Nah." Sol twists, and the smile she gives Tangent is softer than before, still a little shy at the sides. Bearable, but only just. "I like it, it just... kind of kills me a little, also?"

Good, Tangent thinks. "Then I'll try to limit your exposure to non-lethal levels," she replies, and when Sol laughs Tangent allows her smile to grow a little in return.
