Kid paced back and forth in front of Isis's door, debating whether or not to knock. "I didn't call... Or tell her... Such a surprize... What if she's not available... Or home... Or ready..." He murmurs to himself as he saunters up and down the hallway. "No." He stands up straight and makes his way to her door. "No overthinking this. She's my..my.." he raises his closed fist to the wooden door. "My girlfriend." He raps his knuckles three times.
After what seemed like ages, though it was only seconds, the door flings open, revealing Styx in nothing but a towel. "Oh. Hi, Kid." She says, completely unfazed.
In the bedroom to the left, Isis yells out, "Who is it?" From the shower.
"It's Kid!" Styx practically screams, water dripping from her hair to the floor, some of it flung to the wall across from her.
"Oh! Let's him in, I'll be out in a second." She replies through the sound of water pelting the ceramic.
Neither of them pay attention to the subject of the matter, who's standing with his jaw on the floor, stammering. "I-I can... Come back... Later.." His eye twitches.
"Nah she takes quick showers." Styx says, opening the door furthur. "Just sit on the couch, she'll be out in a sec." Closing the door behind Kid, she sighs. "Try not to be too awkward while you're waiting." She gives a wink then retreats in the bedroom to the right.
Kid shuffles uncomfortably before taking his usual spot on the couch. Gratefully Styx didn't see what he was hiding behind his back. He spent hours online looking for the perfect one, in size small. The Panda Hoodie he chose is perfectly symmetrical, with little black pockets and ears on the hood. He fidgets with it before setting it aside.
He hears the water turn off in Isis's shower and her getting out, and becomes restless once more. He wanders around the room, picking up objects and putting them down, then wanders into the kitchen and opens the pantry. After finding nothing of value, he closes it, only to find Isis standing behind the door.
"Hey!" She yells, wrapping her arms around his neck. Startled, he backs up and hits his head on a pan hanging from the ceiling.
"Are you TRYING to kill me?!" He exclaims, but at the same time he wraps his arms around her waist and buries his face in her soaking hair.
"Oh." He suddenly remembers the hoodie and goes to the couch to retrieve it. "I got you something." He says with a smile on his face. Looking at his toes, he hands her the hoodie, but his eyes dart up to her now and then to catch her reaction.
She explodes with an incredulous, "Oh my gosh! Pandas are my favorite and- it's so cute and- hey it's my size!" She pulls it on over her plain white tee. "It's perfect." She lifts his chin up slightly, just enough to get a kiss in. "Thank you." She says, kissing him once more before Styx barges in, decked out once more in her original black leather jacket over a white tee and knee height black boots.
"Hey, it's like walking into a porno!" She sarcastically remarks, smirking as she checks the pantry. Kid smiles and pulls away, putting his hands in his pockets and leaning against the counter. "There's no food in here." Styx turns to Isis, frowning. "When was the last time you went shopping?"
Isis retaliates with, "When did I become the wife? You go shopping!" She nudges Styx as she flips her hood up. "Look it!" She smiles and spins in a circle, holding her arms out. Kid looked at Isis with a loving gaze, Styx with feigned jealousy.
"Ohhhhh I'm so jealous." Styx smiles, nodding at the jacket. "Nah I'm just messin' around. It's pretty cool. It's cute on you!" She closes the pantry. "I'm going to the store I GUESS. Don't get crazy in here." She winks as she walks out of the apartment.
"You two do seem close." Kid remarks, still leaning on the counter.
"Well she is my meister." Isis responds. "So, what now? Did you have anything planned?" She asks Kid, staring up at him with her eyes wide.
"Aw don't look at me like that!" He laughs, leading her to the couch.
"Like what?" She asks, genuinely confused.
"Like that!" He looks down at her again with a loving gaze. "You almost have like this puppy dog look. It could melt stone." He puts his arm around her, loving the way she feels against his torso, loving the way she plays with his fingers, loving her eyes and smile and laugh. Loving her.
"Oh... I didn't know." She sighs. "I'm so happy with you, Kid." She curls up into a ball and nuzzles into a comfortable position. "Happier than I've been in... Happier than I've ever been."
Though she couldn't see, he smiled. He loved knowing that. She was his everything, he he was hers. Isn't that all that is ever wanted? He kisses the top of her head, wishing the moment would never end.
