The Preserve, later in the evening

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel was not happy when she woke up and found out that Fandom Weirdness had changed her into a guy. Her mood started to improve once she made it to class. And it was much better after spending time in town catching up with people. It had improved enough, that she even sent photographic evidence to Parker.

Still, between residual issues from the weekend, and her sudden guyness, it meant that the six month anniversary evening she'd originally planned on had turned into a quiet dinner and then a walk in the preserve.

"It could take time," Isabel said honestly, stepping a little closer. She'd gotten her brothers killed. But they'd gotten past it.

"I hate to think of a world where Chris and I weren't on the same side," Wyatt said quietly. "It's always been him and me against the world."

"And that's how it will be again. Just talk to him. See how he feels. If wants, needs, time. Let him have it." She reached her free hand up and brushed her fingers over his cheek. "I'll be there to wait with you."

Except for the part where she was going to be in England for a few days.

Wyatt reached up and caught her (his?) hand, pressing it to his cheek. "Can I wait 'til you're back?" he said. No, he wasn't stalling, not at all.

"Do you really want to let it go that long?" Isabel asked. "You're going to dwell and stress. Just talk to him. You'll feel better afterwards."

Her fingers curved over Wyatt's jaw as thumb stroked his cheek. She blinked for a moment, not recognizing her own hand.

[blessed_twice]

"I will," Wyatt said. His eyes drifted sideways to look at her hand, then went back to her face. "This is weird," he said.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Good." Isabel had done what she could for now. Hopefully Chris would give him a chance.

She continued rubbing his cheek. It was strange, but still familiar in some ways. "Very weird. But only the outside's changed. I'm still me."

[blessed_twice]

"I know," Wyatt said. "I think you're cuter as a girl, though." He grinned.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It's a different kind of cute."

Isabel laughed and turned a bit pink, remembering her conversation with Andrew. "Andrew wanted to know if I'd checked everything out."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt raised one eyebrow. "Have you?" he asked.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"NO!" she flailed, turning pinker. "I was too shocked before class. And now? Well, I don't know. Like you said. Weird."

"Which stinks because I would like to kiss you right now."

[blessed_twice]

Now Wyatt flailed. "You're a guy!" he said.

"On the outside," Isabel repeated. Sighing, she turned away and took a seat on a fallen tree just off the side of the trail.

"But I understand. It would be weird and I don't want to make you uncomfortable." Even though it had been several days since she'd kissed him.

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt settled beside her. "It shouldn't matter what you look like on the outside," he said. "You're still you. You're still Isabel."

"But it's not what you're used to," she replied, leaning her head on his shoulder.

[blessed_twice]

He leaned his head against hers. "I love you, who you are inside. I mean, you're hot, so, bonus." He laughed a little. "We know some other version of me is gay. So if I'd met you as a guy, would I still have fallen for you?"

"I don't know. I doubt you would have made any sort of note about marrying me in your planner," Isabel pointed out. "And that weekend with the memory loss, and the fake engagement was when everything started. But who know what would have happened."

Feeling nervous, she turned her head and brushed a kiss across his lips. "That wasn't so bad was it?" she whispered.

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt closed his eyes and kissed Isabel back. The lips felt all wrong, but still, the kiss was nice.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Not wrong. Just different.

"Picturing long hair?" she asked before lightly sucking on his lower lip.

[blessed_twice]

Wrong in that they weren't the usual soft Isabel lips, but not bad-wrong. "Mmm hmm," he said, then deepened the kiss.

Hopefully this would only be a short bout of Fandom weirdness and she'd be back to herself soon enough. But in the meantime, this anniversary celebration might not be so bad after all.

Isabel edged closer, returning the kiss eagerly.

[blessed_twice]

Fandom weirdness and demonically induced emo aside, Wyatt wasn't about to let this anniversary pass by with some sort of celebration. He slipped his arms around Isabel, pulling her closer.

She might be in a different body, but Isabel still remembered Wyatt's particularly sensitive spots. Which would explain why she was zeroing in on his ear even as she shifted position to get more comfortable. Innocently, stupidly, she thought it was just from sitting on the hard rock.

[blessed_twice]

Isabel's sensitive spots, however, were in different places now. If he'd been more up to letting his hands wander, Wyatt would've known what was causing Isabel's discomfort. As it was, he made a soft noise of pleasure, kissing his way down Isabel's neck.

Most of the day Isabel had been pretty sure she was still herself, just in a differently shaped package. Now, she was realizing there was something different going on. She tipped her head to the side, enjoying the feel of Wyatt's kisses as always. But she wanted more. And quickly, when normally she'd be content to kiss and touch and nip and taste until they were both breathless.

Moving quickly, Isabel turned to straddle Wyatt's lap, flinched, and then dropped her head to his shoulder, laughing softly. "Oh my god," she giggled, her face pink with embarrassment.
