[Jester still doesn't let go of Matt's hand, butterflies alighting in her stomach as she looks up at himβjust slightly up, now that she's got the steps as a height boost.]
Any time, [she replies softly.] Next time I could even Polymorph you, too. We could be any animal you want.
[Oh, oh gods, he's leaning in, and she could swear her heart is going to beat right out of her chest. His lips are warm, so warm, and soft, and even though it's a brief kiss, it fills her whole body with that same warmth as the moment ends. The smile she gives him could light up the entire block as she reluctantly lets go of his hand.]
[ Matt thinks every kiss is perfect in its way. Every kiss makes its own little world, a place of texture and warmth and unpredictable intersections. This one feels like heat rising, like Jester's already turned him into an animal capable of flight--some fluttering bird or insect--and he's being carried off into the atmosphere.
And when he pulls back, her smile just--bowls him over. ]
Yeah, [ he agrees, with a goofy grin to answer her. He nods, stepping backwards down the stairs. ] Good night, Jester.
