got to get the makeouts

[unatonable]

[ Out of all things, this wasn't particularly something she ever thought she would do. In fact, she had no clue that this was going to end up being the result of this race - sure, she came here to gather those parts of the corpse, but to think it would actually escalate into this, that she would actually even want to search someone out to talk to them about something like this.. she never could have seen it coming.

It feels weird, either way. Like she shouldn't. Or that she shouldn't deserve it. But despite what common sense is telling her, she can't help it - even though irrationally was what got her into trouble so long ago too, what brought her into a sin she couldn't just make up for.. "The flesh is weak", isn't that what they say? She knows it totally counts for her. She's so weak in that sense, yet again being unable to stop her first instincts and having called that guy out here now they're in a more or less safe area - or at least nowhere near one of those Stand users who are also after the body parts. She hopes, at least, it'd be horrible if a conversation like this got interrupted by that - but she really has to talk to him. There's no other way. There's no way she can just work out her weird and confusing feelings by herself, she needs some help - help from him, that is.. he's the one who caused it, either way, from that last time they spoke.

She isn't too hopeful he'll show up though. Unlike her, she knows he doesn't have time he would want to waste, not to mention that she doesn't even know how he's going to explain it to that guy he's with, no way Gyro would just agree with it if he told the truth about her having called him out here, but.. maybe there's a tiny hope within her that he'll show up all the same.

A foolish hope, she knows it, no doubt. ]

[Johnny thought about what she said for a moment. Embarrassing? Of course not, if anything, he's pretty sure that he'll be the one to actually embarrass the two in the long run. Which, to be honest, was probably how it was going to be; Johnny probably being goofy, with Hot Pants being the one to actually size down the situation at hand and to actually calm the guy down. ...yeah, he could probably get used to that.

Which is why he's still grinning goofily at her, rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment.]

Course not, why would you be too embarrassing? It's how you feel, isn't it? ...and, well...

[He leaned in, giving her forehead a little peck.] ...it's genuine, isn't it?

[unatonable]

Of couse it is.. it's not as if I would lie about something like this.

[ It would have been one way to take advantage of the fact that she's the only woman here, by seducing some of the other participants of the race, but.. Hot Pants really isn't the type to go that, she has too much of a strong sense of justice and what's right, she'd never falsely do that. She doesn't care about winning, either way, just about the corpse parts for her own salvation, but she's already gained it like this in a way. Without having to do anything too bad. ]

Although.. I suppose it would be more difficult to hide the fact that I'm a woman now.

[crippledstar]

What does it matter if you're a woman or not? I mean, we're in love, so we should at least express it openly. But... [He stopped, slapping his forehead.] Shit, I totally forgot about how I'm going to explain all of this to Gyro...

[GOD DAMMIT GYRO YOUR NYOHOS COME UP AT THE WRONGEST TIMES EVER. But Johnny seems to actually wave off the notion of telling Gyro. He doesn't seem to be too bothered by it...unless Gyro were to make a fit about Hot Pants being a girl in the first place. He could hear the things he's saying right now as it is...]

...still, you shouldn't worry about that...think of it as part of you coming to terms with things, alright?

[unatonable]

.. Hmm. [ He's right. It's all part of everything.. part of her actually just being fully herself again since she's found her resolution, since she's found what she wants. And besides, as long as she loves Johnny and he loves her, why would other people's reactions matter? It's not like she hasn't been able to brush that stuff off before, so she still can do it now too. ]

I'll help you tell him, if you want me to. If he really has so much problems with the idea, then perhaps I should offer him some sandwiches.

[ She knows what you two did last time.

She knows. ]

[crippledstar]

S...sandwiches...? [...Oh. That's right, he totally forgot about what Gyro did in order to piss her off in the first place...looking back on it now, Johnny seems highly unimpressed with how Gyro was acting- then again, Gyro doesn't seem to trust people worth jack, and nor does Johnny. But a small, nervous grin seems to appear on Johnny's face as he just sorta...seems apologetic about the whole thing.]

Look, he's probably not going to pay much attention to you offering sandwiches in the first place...or, he will. Who even knows with that guy in the first place...look, all that matters is if we convince him about this whole thing, he'll understand, right?

[unatonable]

I.. haven't exactly spent time with men in a long time. [ SORT OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE A NUN YO. ] So I suppose you could say how he would react to it better than I could.

[ Although she always did find Johnny a little easier to deal with than the other guy.. but maybe it was since he was even more set on not trusting her to begin with, huh? That'd make this even more difficult. ]

However, I'm not scared. It is not like we necessarily need his approval either way.

[crippledstar]

Nah, I don't even think the guy could actually respond well to me actually finding someone. First, he'd make a joke, and then... [He's pretty sure Gyro's brain would spiral out of control and probably end up exploding in the process. Then again, the guy is pretty odd to deal with, and pretty childish...]

But yeah, you're right, I might not just end up telling him about it in the first place...and if he does find out, I'll just shut him up, does that sound good to you? Hehe, unless you want to make our love known.

[unatonable]

[ For a moment she seems to think about it. She doesn't exactly have problems with telling other people, but.. maybe it'd be for the best to wait after the race. After all, she might not be in it to win, but Johnny at least partially sure is, so she shouldn't let stuff like that get in his way. People would just bother them about it.. ]

.. No, that's fine with me. After all, this isn't the first time I've had to hide something. [ Like she's.. you know.. been doing all this time already with her gender.. ] Once this race is over, the two of us could.. just go somewhere together, right? Start a new life together..

[crippledstar]

...heh. You know, that's the last thing I expected coming out of you. [But it's sort of endearing that she's already thinking about something like that so soon. He wouldn't mind starting a new life with someone like her, wasting away their days until the two got old, have kids...something like that seems like a good way to live. And it's something he can get used to, after all...maybe this was the path he needed to walk again?]

...hey, um. [He wanted to ask this question, but he leaned in and whispered into her ear.] ...how would you feel about having kids, y'know? I mean...it'd be okay with you, right?

[unatonable]

[ She almost looks a little embarassed when he says it's not something he expected from her.. but it's true, she's always tried to seem so manly in front of him and everyone else here that hearing her be so homely and womanly must be pretty weird, even talking about a family and all.

However, the next question.. that one is even worse, and she has to swallow thickly at the very idea of it. Not that she minds it, she'd like it, honestly, but there's a different problem. ]

Would you.. really want to have children with someone like me? [ She practically killed her little brother, after all. Can she really trust herself with children then? ]
