you're welcome. ]

That's what I fucking thought.

[ It's a growl that fades into a gasp. Zero parts her legs and opens her mouth, hands moving to tug his pants down. Her palms touch, press and guide, legs wrapped around his waist as her arms come up to wrap around his neck.

The counter shakes, and any sounds Zero might make are muffled by the warmth of his mouth. They're in the thick of it, when a ringtone echoes quietly from the living room where Zero's cellphone lays discarded. A specific ringtone, one she'd specially picked for someone specific. Her eyes widen, and she pushes him away. ]

Shit– get out!

[ Yeah, not get off. Get out.

Zero hops off the counter and all but sprints and dives for her phone.]

Hello? Is everything okay?

[ She's silent for a moment as the person on the other end speaks, and then the concern on her face gives away to mild annoyance. ]

You called just for that? No– no, I'm not mad... I miss you too. You having a good time?

[ Yeah, it's gonna be awhile. ]
