Thread: Werewolves and Hunters [JacksAreWild x ClearSight]

The food had been absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked meat and Bison being something Leslie had never had but had enjoyed thoroughly. Why in the fuck could she not have just talked about that? Food was a perfectly normal topic of conversation when dining with someone, but hell no, oh no, Leslie had to be her usual idiotic self. She had to blurt out stupid shit that either freaked people out or drove them away. She was a genius when it came to awkward moments, and had often done the same thing when she was with the other hunters. She had never confessed to one but she always made things awkward somehow. The more she thought about it the more defeated she felt. She could have talked about work, guns, any fucking thing besides sex and the intention behind it, which for once wasn't a one-night extravaganza. As if it weren't hard enough just to continue sitting there and not run off back to her cozy apartment to hide in a corner, Jessie had to be comforting. As soon as the hand rested atop her own she glanced up, eyes peering in to Jessie's and Leslie taking to chewing on her lower lip nervously. She gulped as Jessie went through the facts, how Leslie was a frivolous woman and hadn't had a stable relationship in the entirety of their time knowing one another. She couldn't deny it, she slept around, but that didn't mean she was some emotionless doll, she cared for people, just not many. Then she felt a pang of sadness resound through her. As ridiculous and flirty as she could be and as irresponsible and light-hearded as she came off, Leslie was not a cheater. She had never slept with someone while dating another person, she would never do such a thing, and it hurt that Jessie thought she had such little control over her libido. Sure, she loved to fuck, god did she enjoy it. Hell it was one of the three reasons she got up every day, but that didn't mean she was incapable of controlling herself, sleeping around was a choice, and one she made because she was alone and wanted the skinship. She understood though, or at least she thought she did. Leslie couldn't see her as a serious partner, and she could try and prove she was but it wasn't an overnight thing. That was how she was thinking until Leslie opened up her mouth again and completely smashed through the logical argument she had been making. What... Leslie's voice was not the shaky embarrassed heap it would have been if she had spoken a minute ago, it was solid and there was a subtle edge to it. Wait a minute... So you say all of that crap, try to make me give up in the most definite manner you can, and then say that... She pulled her hand away, her face a mix of hurt and pissed, though she was pretty damn good at keeping herself from going past that. It was hard to make Leslie angry, she rarely yelled and even then the word threatening would barely even be used to describe her. She preferred to convey her displeasure without threatening others, especially when she believed threats were the tool of cowards and weaklings. She scoffed, pushing her chair back from the table and debating whether to leave, though she didn't and instead crossed her arms and looked down at the floor to ponder to herself, as odd as ever. When she looked back up she had a puzzled look on her face. So you don't think I could handle you and yet your worried if you gave me a shot I would be running around behind your back? She paused for a moment, eyebrow raised as if to question her seriousness. Let's ignore for a second how hurt I was that you think my penchant for meaningless sex means I'm some kind of untrustworthy cheater. Let's focus on how your little comment makes it sound like you are the one who doesn't think you could handle me. I mean, if my libido is so active you can't keep it in check I guess that means you're the one with some inadequacies. At this point she was grinning stupidly, having already internalized and moved past the rejection and small insults. Heh, but I guess that's fine, if you can't handle it I understand, not everyone can tame a wild beast.
