Prompt: Kali x Julia Girl's Night
Kali's pack has entirely too much testosterone sometimes. Werewolves do tend to be mostly male (at least bitten ones). Something about the animal aggression and raw, reckless lifestyle seems to attract them. They think they are the strong ones.
Kali proves them wrong, of course. She is as aggressive as any of them, but ten times more ruthless and twenty times cleverer. And her touch of feminine grace…it is beautiful to watch. Julia feels honored to be a part of it.
She also feels exhausted after a long week of interacting with Kali's pack members. They are, on the whole, a pushy and overbearing bunch. Some of them mean well. Most even mean to flatter Julia with their lustful gazes and flirtatious words. At least they don't touch her anymore. Last time that happened one of them spent a week growing back the chunk of flesh Kali had ripped from their side.
Julia doesn't hate them. But she needs a break. She buys a bottle of white zinfandel and bakes cupcakes in her apartment (Kali's favorite flavor – chai spice and cream cheese frosting). She sends a simple text: 7 o clock. No boys allowed. Xoxo J.
Kali does not disappoint: she is there at 6:59 with Italian takeout and some easy-watching chick flick (not normally her style, but she knows Julia likes it). She also brings Julia something wrapped up in a red box with a silky bow, and forbids her from opening it until later.
"It's not my birthday." Julia chastises, but accepts the box with a huge grin. She sets it down on her bed for later, unable to stop smiling. She loves it when her alpha flatters her like this.
"If I never see another boy again as long as I live, I shall be as happy as a clam." Julia later declares dramatically as they sit on her couch together. Kali rolls her eyes, but smirks, picking up the tv remote.
"Unless it's James Marsden, right?" She teases, settling her feet on the coffee table and relaxing back into her couch. Some people hate it when Kali brandishes her feet everyone, but to Julia, her home is Kali's. And every part of her is beautiful.
She laughs and settles against Kali's side, already a little tipsy on the wine. "I prefer your company, you know." She admits, her head falling to rest on the alpha's shoulder. Kali smiles a very soft smile, knowing Julia can't see it.
They watch the movie mostly in a comfortable silence, pressed together as if personal space means nothing to them, slowly finishing off the bottle of wine. Kali cannot really get drunk thanks to her accelerated healing powers, but she loves watching Julia descend into a giddy and super affectionate state.
"You're so pretty." She says, as the credits roll. Her tone is warm, but not slurred. She's not that drunk but Julia is leaning more heavily into Kali than she was when the movie started. "Prettier than that girl."
Kali laughs, "Thank you darling. You're very pretty too."
"Do you think so?" Julia's lips curl up in an adorably genuine way, and Kali nods, reaching over to brush the hair from her emissary's eyes.
"I like it better when you say it." The druid says. "Not your boys."
"I'll tell them to leave you alone."
"Don't worry about it." Julia smiles. "It doesn't really bother me. I know what most werewolves are like."
Kali nods. "Are you ready for your present?"
Julia beams. It would be a childish expression if she weren't so insanely gorgeous. She bounces up from the couch (impressively keeping her balance) and takes Kali's hand, leading her into the bedroom where her gift awaits.
She delicately removes the ribbon and opens the box, savoring the anticipation. When she sees what's inside, Julia's cheeks flush prettily and she looks up at Kali, both surprised and pleased.
"Really Kali? Lingerie?"
Kali smirks.
"Well, you're the one who bought wine." She leans in, close enough for their noses to touch. "And I know how you get when you're tipsy."
Julia smirks back and grips the front of her shirt, hauling her in for the kiss.
