Zero To Sex In .5 Seconds
"'I'm bisexual. Buy me something and I'll get really sexual.'"
To look at Mai Valentine, one wouldn't think she could growl and snarl as well as a pitbull.
Appearances were deceiving, however.
Téa giggled.
Mai fumed. "When I get my hands on whoever–"
"Aw, c'mon, Mai, I think it's funny," Téa protested.
Sighing, Mai flopped down on the bed next to her friend, tossing the shirt she'd been reading off of into the corner of her room. "Yeah, me too, but it was intended as an insult. And it is, really; whoever sent me this has no business implying that I'm easy!"
Téa's eyebrow rose and she said dryly, "You're definitely not that; I've been flirting with you for months and you haven't even noticed."
If Mai had been an anime character, she felt sure that a giant drop of sweat would have formed beside her face; as it was, all she could manage to croak out was an inelegant, "Huh?"
Téa's face warmed as she realized what she'd revealed, but she forged on with, "I like you; I think you're hot and I'm attracted to you. But you've been more oblivious about me liking you than Joey was about Kaiba liking him."
Quickly gathering her scattered wits about her, Mai asked, "Why didn't you say anything?"
"When?" Téa asked practically. "When you were mooning over Joey, when Joey and Kaiba got together and you were hurting over that, or when you declared that you weren't going to date for the foreseeable future because it caused too much heartache? And then there was the fact that I didn't know if you swung that way."
"Ah…" Mai muttered. "Good point. But I'm not on the rebound now," she pointed out. "And I've never been one to discriminate on the basis of gender. The shirt is pretty much right on that count." A coy smile lurked around the edges of her lips.
Téa echoed the blonde's happiness with her own grin. "So…you wanna?"
"Wanna what?" Mai asked curiously.
"Get sexual," Téa purred, leaning over until she and Mai were only a breath apart. "After all, I did buy you a frappuccino at the mall the other day. And this way the shirt could be right on both counts," she added brightly.
Mai laughed. "True, true…but what about taking things slow?"
"Don't you think you've been going slow for too long?" Téa asked, pouting slightly. "It's time to speed things up…just a little?" she begged.
"All right, Téa," Mai agreed in a sultry voice. "You have a point. And…I feel the need, the need…"
"…for speed," Téa finished, pressing their lips together.
