@misstantabismuses sent: 'I want the K' (Jinx for Summer, maybe one of them finally works up the nerves to go smooch)

{ Randomly generated number: 10. Neck Kiss }

After agonising over it for almost a whole week, Summer had decided that this would The Day. She had know about the trip to Zaun Rick and Morty were planning to take and she had insisted on tagging along, despite the scientist's grumbling about how he didn't want to waste time "babysitting" her too.

As if she would have needed it, especially in a place that was almost familiar territory by now.

The whole ordeal wasn't supposed to take long, just a few hours to collect some...crystals or whatever after a brief stop to Silco's office, even if you could never known. After all, it wasn't uncommon for the duo's adventures to meet some unexpected, usually dangerous complication that prolonged them for days to no end. Not that any of that mattered to the redhead. Hours or days, anything would do for her, because that visit would still be the perfect chance for one, simple reason: Morty had to remain by Rick's side for the whole time.

As jealous as Summer still felt at times because her brother was obviously her grandfather's favourite, this time around she couldn't have been more glad to not be given the same amount of attention the boy got. She would would have been left to her own devices, which mean that she could have some time alone with Jinx.

Sucking in a quiet breath to still herself, the redhead turned his head slightly, to side-eye the other girl as she dug around in a pile of junk nearby. They had decided for a trip to the junkyard, to collect parts they could use to make accessories that Jinx could have sold or traded at the market. The location wasn't exactly fancy or charming, but it was one of the places where the two of them had bonded.

Besides, this was Zaun and this was Jinx. There was nothing more appropriate than a place that represented on of the many faces of that land.

Summer's expression shifted into a determined frown. Alright, enough stalling and overthinking. She had to act before the growing nervousness in her stomach could manage to convince her to chicken out.

"Uh, hey," she started, pushing herself back on her feet so that she could walk over where her friend was rummaging. He hand slipped inside the pocket of her trousers, in a way that she hoped would look casual. "I got you something. Well, more like made you something. Grandpa Rick brought home these small stones from space the other day, but they have turned not to be what he thought they were. He wanted to throw them away, but I grabbed them instead. They are, like, just space rocks, but I thought that they were pretty and..."

Her voice trailed out and, instead of continuing, she pulled two hairbands. Each of them were composed of a cobalt blue elastic thread that could have easily become invisible once wrapped around Jinx's blue locks and of fives little gems, with a colour scheme that recalled the way the shades the other girl used to paint her nails. They had been polished by hand and it showed, but the little imperfections just made them unique, compared to anything machine made.

"If you like them, I was thinking...maybe you could wear them like..."

Once again she didn't finish the sentence and, instead, she took one of the hair ties, to set it against the root of one of Jinx's braids. Her fingers softly brushed the cobalt locks and Summer suddenly became hyperaware of how close they were. Sure, it had sort of been on purpose, but the awareness still manage to catch her off guard.

Now or never, now or never, nowornever...

Green eyes met blue ones and Summer moved before she could lose the spark of courage she had been clinging on since walking through Rick's portal. She refused to let another great moment pass her without trying to seize it.

Ideally, she would have taken her time, spent a few moments admiring the speckles in those blue orbs and tracing the sharp lines of that pale face. She would have allowed herself to think how beautiful Jinx was, in a feral way that made her just more captivating and exciting. She would have also leant in slowly, and not rushedly as she did, because she wouldn't have to worry about freezing up.

But that was a fantasy, created and played inside her mind, where she could control everything, including her emotions. This instead was reality, with all its unpredictable variables and where nothing obeyed her thoughts.

And it was also the reality where Summer's mouth never reached its chosen destination, because she lost her nerve at the very last moment and ended up ducking her head down instead of forward.

The movement came too late for her to avoid any contact and her lips ended up pressed against the side of the other girl's neck, just under the corner of her jaw. The smell of gunpowder, dust and chemicals filled her nostrils, dangerous and enthralling, causing her to freeze e accidentally prolong the unplanned kiss.

After a few moments of daze, however, the redhead abruptly came back to her senses and jolted back, her feet catching in a piece of junk protruding from the ground and sending her falling backwards on her ass.

Great. As if she had been needing to look even more like a fool.

"I...Shit, that wasn't..." She stuttered out, face burning in humiliation, and then buried it in her hands not to have to look at her friend. "...Can we just pretend that none of this, like, ever happened?"
