Jeff and Annie didn't revise their top 10 lists again until a month later. But technically, they did do some quick revisions on that first night. It came after they saw each other's lists, analyzed the results and their implications, then kissed minutes later.
As they made out, Jeff instantly put Annie's lips from honorable mention to No. 2 – with a few first place votes mixed in. Annie almost permanently retired Jeff's lips at No. 1, yet his hands made a pretty good case of their own. She then wanted to give all his body parts an audition for the top spot, until she remembered Troy and Abed were still way too close by.
That killed the mood enough for both Jeff and Annie to take a step back. It helped them remember they still had things to work out; and Annie couldn't sneak out to Jeff's without getting caught. They also weren't in the mood to hear Abed give tips for avoiding the "Moonlighting Curse" or some other TV couple curse – at least not yet.
So they figured it was best to take it slow and avoid complications – like the study group in general. After all, there was no point in enduring their jokes, criticisms and nitpicking until they knew what they were nitpicking. As such, all talks of lists and comparing lips and butts went out the window, while they worked out how this would really go.
The next month was devoted to working their remaining kinks out, finding locations for secret dates, making up cover stories for going on secret dates – and eventually going on them at some point. Once they got through both their third date and their first couples fight in the same week, they were convinced they had something for the long haul.
As such, they finally filled the study group in on their findings the next day. Fortunately, they didn't spend the entire day dealing with their reactions, since there was an Easter adventure to be had. Somehow, the war with Dean Pelton's 24 mail-ordered, eventually rabid bunnies taught the group enough lessons to back off Jeff and Annie at the end. How a battle with bunnies taught them that, they didn't know and weren't really concerned with figuring out.
In any case, the group's acceptance and the usual relief at surviving a Greendale holiday made Jeff and Annie quite pleased. In fact, when they got to Jeff's apartment to celebrate, the celebration got….quite thorough.
Thanks to that, they were drained that night from both sex and blood thirsty rabbits. However, Jeff and Annie still couldn't quite fall asleep right away. The buzz from their long awaited first time, the latest milestones they crossed off to get here, and the sensation of actually sleeping together made sleep a bit impossible. But they didn't want to say anything out loud and ruin the peaceful, contented mood.
So since they couldn't actually sleep, they both went through their respective top 10 lists in their heads to keep them occupied. Now that they had had sex and could more properly rank their body parts, this would probably be their very last revision. And the hardest one had been saved for last.
For Annie, there was even less reason to drop Jeff's lips from No. 1 now. But she really couldn't say that the others didn't have a case either. Not his smile, which was more loving and emotional than she expected during a few parts. Not his eyes, which made her heart and…..lower places tingle in equal measure. And after those hands touched her the way they did, she might never be chilly again.
His nose tickled in the best possible way when his face nuzzled against her neck and….below it. Annie even got to ruffle Jeff's hair a bit when he was….otherwise occupied. And his legs were even longer and more hypnotizing without any pants on – to say nothing of his butt. She hadn't even gone into how his arms held her tight during the….final act, and how they were holding her now. Even Jeff's forehead made a big impact when it pressed into hers and let Annie look right at him at the….moment of truth.
And at long last, Annie had to take Jeff's brains out of the "honorable mention" basement, now that they had crafted better sentences. Like "I love you" and an exhausted "Holy crap" when she finished with the tricks she looked up online. Nearly vomiting while doing that research was a price worth paying after all.
Jeff's eyes were really fun to watch when Annie got those parts right. But then again, the fond smile after it sank in wasn't too shabby either. And then those darned lips paid her back so wonderfully….but she wondered if it would have been the same without the hands doing their magic. Not to mention that nose that found all her ticklish places….and a few she hadn't discovered until tonight.
Darnit, this was going to keep Annie up even worse! Why did Jeff have to be so physically perfect in bed and out of it? After being emotionally better this last month too, it was just overkill. The best kind of overkill, but it didn't help get this list done. She'd just have to keep analyzing those hot spots until she had the right order.
Meanwhile, Jeff was scrambling what brains he had left on his own distracting top 10 list. He already knew a month ago that Annie's lips couldn't be an honorable mention anymore. From there, the rest was a crap shoot.
He did confirm what he suspected all along – that he was a brain dead lunatic for putting her breasts outside of the top five. Her hair would probably have to drop down to make room; but then again, seeing it disheveled and spread out after the….final act was a special sight. For that matter, having it brush against his face while kissing her neck was….inspiring as well.
Jeff knew he couldn't drop Annie's eyes down – not after how they looked up at him. Or how they looked directly at him….or how they looked at everything else, really. The smile certainly had to stay up; especially after it defied the odds and got sexier and more adorable than ever at the same time. And if the eyes and smile weren't getting punished, the overall face shouldn't take a hit either. Besides, Annie's face was unstoppable enough even before he saw it….come undone.
Now that Jeff thought about it, he wasn't sure that the items below Annie's breasts were that far behind. After what those hands did, he knew he'd never see Annie hold a pen the same way again. And while Annie's legs were so much smaller than his own, they had a tight grip. As for what was on top of them….now that Jeff had proper evidence, he could see the ass was severely underrated the first time.
Before Jeff let himself drop the breasts down even further, he tried to drop something below them again. It would have to be the old No. 1, since brains weren't supposed to be a huge part of sex. But then again….without putting the brains at No. 1 the first time, Jeff might never have had his thick skull cracked into reality. And without his speech on why the brain was No. 1, Annie might have remained skeptical that Jeff's confession was for real and that he wouldn't run away again. And without all that, he wouldn't be here, would he?
No, he wouldn't have. Not only would tonight not have happened without the brains, it wouldn't have been this memorable without them. They made her emotional and clinical tonight in the best way, generous and encouraging to a fault, and helped her put her own unique stamp on actions that were old hat for Jeff. It was….pure Annie through and through. And since Jeff already established that brains made Annie special with clothes on….the same had to apply without them too.
Yet that still seemed like it wasn't giving all the other parts enough credit. What could, really? With all these unforgettable parts existing in one woman, how could one or 10 be better than the others? He'd just have to keep analyzing those sexy spots until he had the right order.
The next thing that both Jeff and Annie knew, it was the morning. Thinking about each other's bodies had exhausted them enough to lull them to sleep. Actually seeing and devouring each other's bodies at long last may have set it up, but the thoughts were what made the kill.
When they knew they were awake, they didn't open their eyes. They just took in the feel of each other's arms, body heat and other heated parts nearby. Once the memories of last night fully flooded them, they recalled how they got to sleep and tried to make their final drafts before getting up.
But no matter which physical feature was best and what had to be moved up or down – they were all here. All of Jeff's oh so skilled body parts were lying here next to Annie, as she had imagined for a long time – and vice versa. They all combined to make last night live up to the buildup and melodrama – and now there was nothing standing in the way of repeat performances. There was nothing to stop them from standing out outside of the bedroom as well, like they always seemed to do.
So right before they opened their eyes to see each other, Jeff and Annie thought one last time about their respective top 10 lists. Then they both decided to make one final revision, before getting on with their very first morning after.
There would be two 11-way ties for first from here on in.
And this would not be subject to review again.
