Room 406, afternoon

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel was amused to wake up and find everything back in color. She was less amused when she looked in the closet and realized that she never got a chance to wear the pretty Homecoming dress she'd ordered online. There was no sign of the mass of tulle she did wear to the dance. Shrugging at the wackiness that is Fandom, Isabel showered, dressed and then settled down on her bed with a book.

The door was open.

"Sit there and look pretty," Isabel said, uncurling her legs and rising to her knees. Reaching out, she ran her hands through Jack's hair, changing it back to it's normal color. Finished with his hair, she ran her hands over his face and down his arms.

Jack eyes were half closed, enjoying her touch, but they suddenly widened. "Do you have to touch everything you need to fix? Because I wasn't exaggerating when I said that I'm pink everywhere."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Then some parts of you might be staying pink," she said, turning a pale pink herself. "Although honestly, it can't be any worse then the day I helped Angel get rid of the lurid purple prose that a magic quill had written ALL over him."

"Unless it really did write on everything, trust me, it's worse." He smiled and touched the back of Isabel's hand. "Anything you're willing to change, change, but some bits of me can stay pink," he said firmly as he kicked off his shoes and socks. "It'll wear off eventually. Do you need bare skin?"

"No, it wasn't that bad," Isabel chuckled. "Although like the Angelica Desmesnes stuff, I wonder that some of it was physically possible. But then again, he is a vampire. Tell you what, take of your t-shirt and let me fix your back and chest. By then I should be able to feel the dye enough that you can your pants on. Not that I haven't seen you in less. But still."

"Seen me, and felt me," he said with a smirk as he pulled off his shirt. "And I'm happy to take my pants off for you, Isabel. Now where do you want me?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Down boy," she snickered. "Sit here and look pretty. I know. It's a challenge." Isabel focused on the feel of the dye as she moved her hands over his chest and back, then motioned for him to stand up when she was done.

"Looking pretty is what I do best." Jack was very relaxed, eyes half closing again, but he roused enough to stand up. "Thanks for doing this, Izzy," he said, and rested a hand briefly against her hair.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You do plenty of other things quite well," Isabel smiled. "And you're welcome. But it's really not that big a deal." Closing her eyes, Isabel placed a hand on his hip and focused on the feel of the dye through the denim. She ran her hands down the front of one leg, and then the other, before quickly skimming it down the very front of his pants. "Turn around," she said, blushing brightly.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"True." It didn't matter that Isabel was one of the few people Jack couldn't envisage having sex with -- having her run her hands over him was still an enjoyable experience. "You are so cute when you blush," he told her as he turned around.

Isabel rolled her eyes as he turned and tried to will herself to stop blushing. Starting at his ankles, she ran her hands up the back of his legs and finished by running her hand over his butt and pinching it.

Jack jumped, the tiniest little bit, and laughed, quickly twisting around to kneel next to her on the bed and wrap his arms around her. "Does this mean some bits of me won't have to stay pink?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm pretty sure you should be mostly not pink," she said, laughing. "I did the best I could without invading places best left to Cedric and Sam."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Very true." He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, then leaned back on the bed. "Thanks again, Izzy. And I'll wait until I leave to check."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Thank you, I appreciate your sense of discretion," she said, reaching over to thwap him. "So did you have fun at Homecoming?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

He ducked away from her thwap and grabbed her hand, holding it lightly on his knee. "I did. It was a hell of a lot of fun. I think the best bit - apart from dancing with your beautiful self, of course - was walking in with Sam and Cedric. I wasn't sure they'd be up for it."

Isabel shifted position, grabbing a pillow and tucking it behind her as she leaned against the wall. "Why?" she asked, although she thought she might have an idea.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack shrugged and shifted automatically to sit next to her, threading his fingers through hers. "Because there's a big difference between accepting in private that the person you're dating is dating someone else, and bascially declaring it in front of the entire school." He smiled and leaned against Isabel. "One of these days I'll learn not to underestimate them."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Have you heard the radio? The fact that you're dating two people? It's not a surprise," she pointed out. "But I do get what you mean. It's great that things are working out between all three of you."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"It is," he agreed quietly, tipping his head back against the wall and closing his eyes. "Much to my constant surprise. And it sure puzzled the hell out of the Captain.""

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"He doesn't remember this?" Isabel asked, trying to wrap her brain about how that would work and failing. "What did you tell him?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"He doesn't remember any of it. Sam said we're not the same people, and she'd know. I guess we're like different versions of me." He tilted his head and opened one eye to look at her. "I didn't really tell him anything, but something kind of happened that shocked him. Shocked me, too," he added, closing his eye again.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"She's the expert." She tipped her head to rest against Jack's shoulder. "Want to talk about it?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

He smiled and brushed his cheek against her hair. "If you promise not to tell anyone."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I am a black hole of secrets," Isabel promised solemnly.
