A/N The web show is 'The Stumbling Dead' by Cracked Studios. For reference its a comedy with some inventive elements for the genre, like zombie memories, comprehension and socialization. Seems like something Jade would do.
...
When Tori returns to her apartment the movie is off and Andre is firing up the YouTube app. "What's her show called again?" She smiles and walks to the TV. She points at the history queue. "The...Stumbling dead?" He reads. She nods and he starts the first episode. She settles in, all for rewatching the series. Each episode they watch fills Tori with pride, and when its over she rakes in the praise. Even Trina complimented Jades writing.
When the boys go home, Tori decides to address her sisters behavior. Cats outside saying goodbye to Robbie, so its just them for now. Sitting on opposite ends of the couch, facing each other. "So, what did you think?" Tori asks with feigned nonchalance. "I told you, it was okay. For zombies" she says distastefully. Tori huffs "I meant Jade." "She's...different." Trina says in an careful tone. "Yeah, what's wrong with that?" Tori snaps back. "Nothing... it's just..." Tori exhales tiredly. "Look, Trina, I know you're just looking out for me but... I trust Jade." She smiles to herself.
"But why? You've only been on two dates Tori! And you're already making out in her car! And god knows what else..." She says shaking her head. "You're my little sister Tori. And I know you see the good in people, but I see them for who they are. And Jade... Shes just another bad boy. A talented one, ill give you" she gestures to the screen "but still, I don't want to see you to get hurt again, Tor."
Tori swallows a lump in her throat. "I don't think you're as perspective as you think you are." She says with strained calmness. She quickly rises and seeks shelter in her room.
Trina goes over her evaluation. The ripped jeans, the eyebrow piercing, the antisocial attitude. Jade was the poster child for trouble, she had to be bad news. Trina saw her sister date plenty of the sort and she was tired of seeing her fall for them again an again.
Cat enters the apartment with a smile on her face, that quickly dissolves into confusion. "Where's Tori?" She follows Trina's eyes to Toris bedroom door. "Should I ask?" "For once Cat, don't." Cat sits on the couch next to her. "What happened?" Trina throws her hands up. "I'm the bad guy 'cause I'm the only one who sees the pattern? How am I supposed to ignore this, shes gonna get hurt again Cat." Cat sighs. "You can't know that." She starts. "Yes I do, it alwa-"
Cat stops her with a raised hand. "You can't know that, and besides. If she gets hurt, she get hurt. Shes and adult and if this really is the wrong path, then she'll find out." When she sees that her words are sinking in she starts to stand. "It's our job to just support her along the way. Right now she really likes this girl, and I'm sure there's more to it than a kink for rebels." Trina manages a chuckle. She moves to her bedroom and stops in the doorway. "Night?" She asks, really meaning 'are you okay?'
"Night." Trina affirms.
...
The next morning Toris sitting on their couch absent mindedly strumming her guitar and watching TV. Trina's leaving for work and she's putting her shoes on by the door. She stomps her heel into the bottom and now shes out of reasons not to leave. Tori notices her lingering throws her a question look. "Um...about last night..." Toris face morphs to a scowl and she turns back to the television. Trina lets out an exasperated sigh. "Look, I'm sorry okay. If you trust her, I trust her. Just... take care of yourself, okay?" Tori nods, surprised. Trina mutters "okay" and quickly leaves.
...
Jade and Tori spend the rest of the week texting each other relentlessly. They make plans for another date that weekend, just to hang out a Jades place. Plus Tori wants to meet the Beck Jade wont stop talking about. She figures its only fair since Jade got to meet all of her friends the last time.
...
When Trina drops Tori off, she waves at them both in the doorway of the apartment. Jade waves back with a scared smile and speaks through her teeth "Is this a trick?" "Nope." Tori says simply. She stretches on her toes and pecks Jades cheek, then walks past her into the home.
Jades apartment is nothing special. To the left of the front door is the kitchen, and straight is the living room. Becks rooms is behind the living room and Jades is in front. There's a small bathroom next to Becks room.
Toris eyes wander around the apartment as she sits on the couch in the center of it. Jade follows her in and stands next to her. When her eyes meet Jades they're wide and excited. Jade smiles down at her, then spins and picks up the remote. She presents the item in Vanna White like manner. "Our main form of entertainment." Tori laughs and nods. Jade turns on the TV and plops down next Tori.
Jade watches with her arms stretched along the back of the couch. Toris curled up with her knees to her chest. In one unimportant moment, Jade gathers all her hair in her hands and pulls it to one side. Tori finds her eyes drawn to her neck. She cautiously extends her hand towards Jade, who watches her movements out of the corner of her eye, not reacting. Toris fingers stroke the back of her neck and once again, the girl succumbs to the ministrations. Jade hooks an arm behind Toris knees and pulls her legs onto her lap. Tori giggles and hoists herself up the rest of the way.
A few minutes later and Jades eyes are closed, and shes practically purring. Tori takes notice and smiles. Her right hand joins the other and Jade hums. Tori can't stifle her laugh and Jades cracks an eye open. Her upper lip stiffens, but begins to curl at the edges. She slowly pushes Toris shoulders, laying her back on the couch while remaining above her. Tori strengthens her grip on Jades neck and moves her left leg to the other side of Jades waist. Jade settles between her legs and her hair surrounds Tori. She combs her fingers through the mess, the gathers it behind her ears, and when Jades face is revealed shes smiling dopily at her. "Hi" she says softly. Toris starts tracing her neck and Jades eyes close again. She slowly sinks into Tori, laying her head on her chest.
They keep watching TV like that until Jades roommate returns. Becks kicks open the door and his arms are overflowing with groceries. "A little help?" He calls. Tori squeezes out from under Jade and rushes to the door, holding the groceries back from falling. Carefully, they work in tandem to get the bags to the kitchen table. Beck looks over them to meet his rescuer. "Thank you...Tori?" "No problem, Beck?" She says, thrusting her hand through the wall of bags. He laughs and shakes her hand. "Nice to meet you." She says. "Likewise" he answers, beginning to unpack the food. "Need any help?" She offers.
He looks to Jade, who's trying to convey how bad she can hurt him through a facial expression alone. She succeeds. "Um..." He faces Tori again "I'm good." He says nervously. "You guys enjoy you're date, I got this stuff." Tori shrugs and join Jade on the couch again. "Thank you Beck." Jade says, tossing an arm around Tori. Tori smiles up at her and Jade sees Beck give her the finger out of the corner of her eye. When he turns back to the groceries she uses the arm around Tori to give one back, but the girl grabs her finger and pulls her arm tighter around her neck. Jade gives her a challenging look, and Tori just bats her eyelashes and smiles innocently up at her. Jade uses her free hand to bring Toris up to join her other. Before she realizes what's happening, Jade pins her hands to her shoulder and starts tickling her. Tori squeals and tries to get a way but Jade uses her superior strength to keep her close. While Tori manages to chastise her between laughs, her grip starts to slack. Jade can tell, so she leans over her and presses Tori into the couch with her full weight. Jades laughing almost as hard as Tori now, sending vibrations through her neck. She tries to move their bundle of hands down to their hips but Tori's hands escape. Jade just goes right on tickling, her other hand now participating in the torment.
There's no space between them so Jade attacks Toris sides. Her hands close around her wrists, finally stopping her. Jade tries to pull them free a few times, then calls it quits and settles for a new strategy. She tugs on Toris earlobe gently, then kisses her neck just below. Tori keeps her hold on her wrists, suspicious. She kisses down until she reaches her pulse point, then bites it. Tori yelps and Jade laughs triumphantly, then continues with her new attack method.
