Thread: It's only natural [sailingsam and Sigr]

Leaf listened to Cat's explanation about her drawing, thinking how fun could be to see those woods with her. Cat talked about sometimes needing to leave the house, and even if Leaf could share the need of getting out, going places... she didn't read anything else behind her words, not thinking yet about the reasons one would not only want, but need to leave their own house. Leaf wanted to see those woods, talk to each other, nap together in a hammock, as Cat painted an interesting picture on her mind. But first she had to do the serious talk, the kind that was needed and nobody liked, so she kept herself silent about the picturesque woods. You've a car? Leaf couldn't hold her composure much, and managed to sound bright and jolly even in a whisper, rising her head from her backpack for a moment. That's awesome but that means... she noticed, that you are sixteen already. My birthday it's not until November she confessed, poofing her head back against her impromptu pillow, having thought that Cat was a bit younger than her. It was her attitude perhaps, or how cute she was, but Leaf had thought herself was older and was completely wrong. Leaf brushed away her hair, in disarray all over her head so she could look at Cat properly. I count on you and old rusty to take me to the mall then she whispered, following with a sigh. She had to tell her, Leaf knew that, after how welcoming and gentle she had been she deserved to know it. Normally Leaf wouldn't worry about what people thought, but Cat wasn't just 'people'. Secret free she mused with a thread of voice. Judgment free she repeated, a small gasp of surprise escaping her lips when Cat leaned in close. Leaf would have been able to distinguish every small detail of her skin, providing she could look away from her warm hazel eyes, how they danced from golden to amber to brown, small specks of color here and there. With Cat so close Leaf felt safe, and she resisted the impulse to look around if people were close, since it felt like they were alone in there. My parents have always been a bit... hippie? It's an oversimplification but... that should work she shared. I guess that the whole vegetarian, home schooled stuff kind of gives a weird vibe away, but that's not all she talked, preparing Cat for it, or maybe just delaying the inevitable. I'm not as... militant on some stuff as them, I mean, mom can be a bit noisy with her vegan stuff, and dad loves his politics talks, but there is something of their lifestyle that they have almost left behind... but I embrace it she admitted, looking a bit flushed although it was hard to say with her tanned skin. I like to be free, to feel free... Leaf sighed. Why did it to be so hard? She never had a hard time with those things before. Her green eyes fleetingly looked away, but they returned to Cat's hazel ones as they had their own gravity to them. Leaf moved her right hand over the table, putting it between their faces for Cat to hold. I prefer to be naked she just blurted, forcing herself to say it so there was no going back. At home, at the beach, wherever is possible. It's so comfortable, so liberating, so natural... her green eyes shone bright, clearly feeling good talking Cat about it. I'm also... a bit... It's not like I don't trim it slightly from time to time when it gets way too long but... Leaf moved her left hand towards the right short sleeve of her blouse, her right hand still holding Cat's. I don't shave she stated, rolling the uncomfortable garment a bit, showing Cat the tips of a few very black hairs on her armpit. On my arms and legs I have mostly fuzz but everywhere else... she said, a nervous smile on her face, wondering what Cat would think of all that.
