We're Gonna Rattle This Ghost Town (pt.2)
(Walk The Moon: Anna Sun)

Cath brushed her hair back into place and smiled.

"So," John tossed her another plum, "how about we lose the seriousness and go watch that Pride and Prejudice video I promised."

"Oh my God, I totally forgot about that!"

"It's great. Come on," He stood up and started towards the building.
The moment Levi and John appeared onstage, Cath had to laugh aloud. They were wearing frilly outfits and Levi's voice was so much younger.
"Look at you two, you guys are just little babies." She looked over at John, who was just about ready to doze off.

He laughed, a deep, warm laugh, "We weren't much younger than you are now."
"Yeah, but you guys are so different now. Especially Levi."

"Well, let me think... That was Spring of 2007, so I was 17 and Levi was 16."
"You're a year older than Levi?"

"Mhm, they put me in school a year late."
"Why?" She asked.

"So I'd have time to settle into Arnold. I lived in the city up until we moved here when I was 5. It wasn't that bad anyways, I'm a December baby, so I was always bound to be older than my classmates." He pulled the throw blanket over himself and smiled, "Levi and I are the same age for exactly one month a year."

John was asleep by the time the recording was over, snoring quietly, like he was self-conscious in his sleep. Cath turned the power off on the TV and looked around the room. His parents were outside tending to the farm, but she could occasionally hear them laughing as they walked past an open window. She looked over at John for a moment before deciding to take out her laptop.
Her Tumblr account was mostly Simon Snow/misc other fandoms related, but it was inevitable that there be some kind of SimonXBaz porn on her dash. That day, there happened to be a very well made GIF set of Simon and Agatha-esque actors having sex with a link to the whole video, titled "Simon Snow and the 69th Position". She quickly scrolled past it, then curiously, and cautiously, scrolled back up to rewatch the GIFs.
The girl acting as Agatha was on a table with several knocked beakers and brightly colored potions, balancing herself as the faux-Simon thrusted into her. She was flexible, her breasts were bouncy, her stomach was so flat and she didn't seem to have hair anywhere below the neck. In the next section, the Agatha was going down on the Simon, taking the entirety of his penis into her mouth without any strain. Cath blushed and looked around the room feeling nervous.
Is that what's supposed to happen? I couldn't do that to Levi's. That's a total choking hazard... Cath thought. God, her boobs are huge, I had always wished mine were only a little bit bigger. I wonder if Levi wished my boobs were that big... Reagan's are. Maybe if I start working out more, they'll just seem bigger in comparison to the rest of me. I still don't think I could bend like that though, although if I start doing yoga it might kill two birds with one stone and I can get skinny and be flexible at the same time. Jesus Christ, look at her butt- Oh my God, what if Levi's into butt stuff. Ew. That seems gross... And really painful. How do I even ask if he's into that? Just be like, "Oh hey, darling, I was just wondering if you wanted to stick it up my ass?" No. I'm sure Levi would bring it up lightly if he really wanted to... right? God...
As Cath continued to worry about it even after she moved along down her dash, her phone started ringing. She fished it out of her bag, hoping it was Wren so she could ask her about all the questions that were flooding her head, but of course it was Levi.
"Hello?" She sighed.
"Hey, Sweetheart. Are you okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine, what's up?"
"I was just letting you know I made it into town, we aren't seeing the lawyer for another hour or so, though and I beat everyone here."

"Oh, good. 'M glad you made it safe." She said quickly.
"Yeah," Levi said, sounding confused. "What's going on? Why are you acting so weird? Where's John?"
"John fell asleep on the couch while we were watching your Pride and Prejudice play from high school. It was pretty cute."

"And?"
"'And,' what?"

"Why are you acting so weird?" He pressed.

"I'm not acting weird," she said, defensively. "I'm just on my computer."
"If you say so," he said, seemingly unconvinced.

"So, what are you doing to kill time?"
Levi laughed, "I called you."
"Oh," Cath closed her laptop and set it on her seat as she headed towards the basement-guest room. "Sorry, I was kind of distracted, I'm downstairs now."
She flopped onto the bed, trying to get comfortable without pulling apart the bedding from it's neat setup.
"How long has Dummy over there been asleep?"
"I don't know, maybe forty-five minutes," she shrugged.
"He's like a sloth or an infant or something. Always fucking sleeping," Levi hummed.
"We talked about his mom." Cath was trying for a new train of thought.
"Seriously?"
"Yeah, he told me everything. It was kind of nice in a sad way, but I was glad he trusted me like that."
"That's pretty crazy, definitely. John hates talking about it." Levi said, genuinely astonished.

"He told me I'm like an 'extension' of you, and that's why he was okay telling me."
"Is that a nice thing to say or-?"
"I'd say so, yeah. I mean," she felt a little embarrassed. "He said I'm like a 'little sister-in-law.'"
Levi was smiling, "Good."

Cath could picture him sitting in the cab of his truck, with his legs sprawled out across the seats and leaning against the door, just looking goofy and content the way he always did when he was talking to her. She crossed her legs, trying to block out the Tumblr post again. Levi was so cute and charming, she didn't know how he'd respond to her questions, but she couldn't help but ask.

"Levi?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you watch porn?" Cath blurted out.

"No!" He was taken off guard, but tried to elaborate quickly, "I mean I used to,but I haven't since I've been with you these last few weeks. So, yes, I do indulge from time to time."
"I'm not trying to accuse you of anything. Just wanted to know."
"Okay, but, like, why?"

"Oh, you know, I was just... curious."
"No way, I'm not letting that one off. You can't ask something like that out of nowhere and expect me not to question you back."
"I was just-"
"Do you watch porn?" He asked.

"No!" She said, quickly.
"Uh huh." Levi clucked his tongue, "Then why bring it up now?"
"Well, I was just thinking that maybe you were into porn stuff, possibly, maybe... Like, I thought maybe you wished I would do more stuff or like maybe I looked a little... different. Like, my boobs were bigger or, I was thinner or something like that, maybe."

"You just said 'maybe' five times," he sighed.
Her ears were practically glowing a horrible, red color, "Levi."
"Cather," Levi said in the same tone. "What do you want me to say? 'I want you to get breast implants and fuck you on video?'" -Cath cringed a little- "'Cause I really don't. I mean, if you want to know if I want to try something crazy, then yeah, to be honest I would love to try really weird, uncomfortable sex things with you someday. That's what people do. They fall in love and do stupid stuff that they laugh about later, but I'm really happy with where we are right now. And if this is your way of asking to try out new things, then 1) there are way less embarrassing ways of asking. 2) You are impressive, you only had sex for the first time a few days ago, so way to jump the gun. You haven't even experienced the 'not coming' thing yet... I mean, I don't ever want you to, but I think it's inevitable. And 3) I'll try almost anything you want, because I love you, you goofball."

He was giggling his way through that whole speech, which made the knot in her stomach a little looser, but she was still completely flushed.

"So you don't want to do, like, anal sex?"
"Uhm, no. I really don't want 'to do, like, anal sex,'" Levi grumbled. "That's actually really, really notmy cup of tea. Is that why you were super awkward when you answered the phone? Because we can definitely file that into the 'no thanks' section of our sex lives."

"Okay."

"Cather, I really wish you'd just talk to me straightforward when something is bothering you. I'm not going to make fun of you, I just want to make you happy. You should know that by now."

"Sorry... I've been feeling really self-conscious lately, and then I was on Tumblr and I accidentally ran into some Simon Snow porn parody. I kind of watched it and the girl was really pretty-"

He cut her off, "Well, I think you're perfect just the way you are. You're not just any girl; you're my Cather. There's no reason to compare yourself to anyone else."

"Quit being charming." She blushed, listening to his breathing.
"Never," Levi laughed. "But I'll tell you a not very charming story."
"Okay."
"Okay so, when we were about eighteen, my friend Jude had this girlfriend, she was a year younger than us, but whatever that's not actually important to the story. Anyway, so one day she was like, 'I like you, you like me. I'm a good Christian girl, but I really like you. I want to do you, but I want to stay a virgin until marriage.' So they try anal, because somehow that's less unholy, and it went horrible. They didn't really know what they were doing at all, I'm pretty sure they just used a lubricated condom and no real anyways, he only barely got in, obviously, and she immediately shit all over him. It was so bad, and when he told us that, we couldn't stop laughing, like I still think it's hilarious, but I don't know. It really stuck with me and I have lost all interest in it. Kind of changes the way you look at porn too. They don't put that out there, because it's polished and professional. But that's the kind of embarrassing thing that can happen when people actually have sex, especially when you have no idea what you're doing."

Cath scrunched her nose and laughed, "What happened to them?"
"Oh, they stayed together until he went off to college, but they kind of keep in touch still."
"That's sweet."

"They were in love, that's what people do when they're in love."

She bit her lip, "Thanks."
"Yeah," Levi said. "So, were you just casually watching porn in broad daylight for the world to see?"

"No!" Cath scoffed, "Actually, yeah. But John was asleep, and his parents were outside."

"You are so weird."
