Hi hi~ I see everyone asking for a jealous mark but can I ask for a jealous reader x mark and shes jealous of atom eve or Amber but he reassures her he will only ever love her

Hi hi Mousy! Oooh role reversal, okay! I'll do them in HC format too :) Because I'm not yet familiar with the comics, I'll be writing with Atom Eve since I'm not sure what Amber's role is in current volumes.

CW: Fem!Reader, mentions jealousy, insecure feelings, fluff(?)

Your boyfriend is Mark Grayson, the man you have grown to love over the years, goofy antics, silly jokes and weird knick-knacks—memorabilia—from different missions.

Your boyfriend is Invincible, the man who dons a black spandex suit with blue and yellow accents, fighting bad guys, aliens and other dangerous things the universe had to offer. You had to learn to love this side of Mark because this was his job, something he at times didn't want to do but did because he understood the importance of it all.

With his came his teammates too. Teammates, partners, they were all kind of the same to you, though it didn't make them any less unique and fun to chat with from time to time.

Times being when they would come over for game nights or people you would bump into while they were in their civilian clothes.

Atom Eve was one of your favourite members of the Teen Team back then, being super badass in her pink gear and doing the damn most where she could. Even when she went off on her, she was still achieving so much, and for the longest time, you kind of wished you could be her.

When you finally got to meet her out of costume, she introduced herself as Samantha Wilkins and you almost lost your cool, because it the Atom Eve, however, she glossed over that name and made sure you knew her for who she was. A close friend of Mark's, someone he had gone to high school with.

It was great to have someone like Eve around because you finally got to hear about some of your boyfriend's greatest and silliest moments during missions and even from his teenage days.

Will apparently swore some secrecy to Mark as his best friend so there were things that he remained tight-lipped about.

However, as time went on, Mark grew comfortable in spending more time with Samantha out of the suit because the two of you now knew each other.

Unfortunately, that didn't really soothe your inherent worries about the two of them.

You trusted Mark, you knew he wasn't some reckless teenager, at least not anymore. He was an adult very capable of making his own decisions, setting his own boundaries and being respectful of his relationships with people.

But there was just a tiny part of you that worried.

Perhaps it was out of a lingering sense of insecurity, the innate comparisons you would make between yourself and Samantha. She was Atom Eve, she was out there saving the world, helping the planet, making a difference and she was gorgeous and kind.

As you stared at yourself in the mirror, sometimes you couldn't help but wonder why Mark chose you instead, when he spent so many years fighting alongside Samantha.

The feeling made you a little more bitter over time and Mark didn't notice until one day, he had asked you if it would be okay if he went out to Cuba with Samantha for the weekend to check on a lead for the Guardians.

The implication of it being for work made it harder for you to say no, but your response and agreement for him to go came off kind of blunt and a little too passive-aggressive.

"I don't know why you're asking if it's for work, just go."

Mark couldn't help but furrow his brows at your tone, "I thought you were the one who said we should run our schedules by each other so we don't get confused."

You sighed at the reminder, "You're right, sorry."

When you closed the mirrored cabinet, Mark was watching you with a grim look upon his face, "Is everything okay? You've been kind of distant recently."

"It's fine," you brushed him off, sliding past him in the bathroom doorway to make your way over to the bed. You crawled under the covers and instantly closed your eyes.

If I don't look at Mark, he'll drop the subject.

Except he didn't. Instead, your boyfriend followed you under the cover, coming face to face with you with a soft smile, "I don't think it's nothing. Talk to me, [Y/N]."

You took a deep breath, doing your best to keep your composure, but the moment you opened your eyes, searching for Mark in the midst of the darkness from under the comforter, tears started to well up.

"Why don't you date Samantha or someone like Samantha? Why are you dating a normal law-abiding citizen like myself when you could be with someone who has super cool powers, is super caring and kind to everyone and literally helping the planet?"

Frazzled by your outburst and the cracks in your voice, Mark was quick to scoot in closer to you, pulling you as close as he humanly could without crushing you to offer you some physical comfort.

"What are you talking about? Why would I? I love you for you, even if you're just a normie citizen like my mum or Will."

You sniffled, burying your face into the soft fabric of his shirt, "Because you're part Viltrumite. You have super strength, you can float and fly, you have saved the Earth countless times at the side of those who are just like you, like Atom Eve. She understands your lifestyle, you wouldn't have to worry about her and you wouldn't have to ask her if you could go to Cuba for recon."

Mark stopped responding, if anything he kind of stopped working; Mark.exe error noises.

He wasn't sure how to respond to that, what could he possibly do to make you worry less and to soothe your thoughts without saying the wrong thing.

You finished crying, unapologetically wiping your tear-stained face on Mark's cotton sleep shirt, and giving the snottiest sniffle man-kind has ever heard.

"Babe, you know... Even though I am part Viltrumite, and I have all these inherited abilities from my dad, I don't always feel that way. I know to most, I'm this hybrid sitting in a grey area because most people wouldn't accept me for being human while aliens probably wouldn't accept me as one of them because most beings out there don't even have a good relationship with the Viltrumite side of my bloodline. Samantha, Rex, everyone out there with powers allows me the opportunity to be a hero, someone with superpowers without judging me."

He paused, and for a moment you tensed up. Was this it? Did Mark just realize your question held a real thought-provoking possibility that perhaps he did choose the wrong person?

He looked down at you with a soft smile, "But when I'm with Will, my mum and you of all people, I can be the human side of me I have always been. I was raised human, hell I even had a very generic human childhood, for seventeen years and then suddenly I'm not human anymore and that was a really shitty time for me. I also got my ass kicked in a lot but when I'm with you, that normalcy I was raised with, I can have that. I wouldn't choose you over anyone else, because at the end of the day, you still understand the other part of me."

"But you can have that with Samantha too, she's also very human."

"But she is also not you, and I have made my decisions. I made it a long time ago and I don't ever plan to change that. I love you, [Y/N]."

With another round of tearful apologies, you muttered your I love you, too

Once you had calmed down and Mark had finished cheering you up, the two of you took a moment to talk out the feelings some more. Mark promised to spend a bit more time with you and that he would bring you along to more hangouts with Sam and the team.

When that happened, Mark 100% expected you to be more clingy and he was a-okay with that. He would hold your hand whenever he could, and would always save you a seat next to him at the table or on the couch.

Mark gave his physical affirmations with you when people weren't looking, with a peck to the temple, a small poke or a quick hug.

In return, you did your best to spend more time with Samantha, which helped you build more trust and confidence with both yourself and her as a friend.

Sorry if this wasn't to your expectation or it seemed short. There was some fat dialogue from Mark but it felt necessary.

sweet mystery of life | Poe Dameron x Reader

Request: “Slow, passionate sex with poooooe with giggling and jokes and just general goofiness” - Anon

A/N: Is this silly and passionate enough IDK

Rating: M

Warning: Smut. Naughty words. Poe and reader are a wee bit tipsy. The silliest banging you may have read.

Word count: 1,362, apparently!!

Summary: You and Poe are slightly drunk, but that means you have even more fun in the bedroom.

GIF credit: IDK TUMBLR FLAGGED ME FOR THE OTHER GIF EVEN THOUGH I BORROWED IT FROM A POST THAT WASN’T FLAGGED!!!!

------------------------------

You were giggling softly between the little kisses Poe was pressing to your lips, and he was smiling at how adorably tipsy you were from the one shot of firewhiskey you'd had.

Neither of you were drunk by any means, but you were definitely very happy.

Poe continued kissing you as he searched blindly to open the door to his quarters and not realizing you were pressed up against the door; he fell onto the floor of the room with a soft yelp and you were on top of him, laughing still.

He laughed as well, admiring the sweetness in your eyes as you looked at him from your position like he was the most amazing thing in the galaxy.

"Is this your way of saying that you're falling for me, sweetheart?"

"Oh, shush," you moved off him, reaching a hand down to pull him to his feet.

He might have stumbled into you on purpose, pressed his hips tight against yours where you could feel his hard cock.

You were kissing him, moving towards the bed and hitting a lamp on an end table.

Its crash didn't even register to you, attention on Poe's fervent kisses down your neck as he laid you on the bed.

You laughed and screamed when he tugged down your top to suck hard on the side of your breast, leaving a dark mark. "I'm going to leave a mark on you for that!"

"My mark isn't in an obvious place. Or I certainly like to believe it's not." He pulled your top over your head, placing a kiss on your nose.

"I admit, I've been showing my breasts to someone else." You held onto his soft curls as he pressed amorous kisses down your side to your hip.

"Tell me who you're showing them to."

"He's tall...he's quite aesthetically pleasing...and pretty smart...as shiny as stars..."

"Who is this? I'm an understanding guy, but I might have to kill him."

"I've found a secret lover in C-3PO."

Poe had taken your pants off and was brushing his nose against the hem of your underwear, but soon pressed his face against your thighs as his shoulders shook with loud laughter.

You tried to pretend, but your words were laced with laughter. "Why should my great love affair with C-3PO be funny to you?"

"I can't believe that annoying piece of metal seduced my girlfriend away from me."

"Don't be mean to my lover."

He pinched your thigh lightly and you yelped.

Then he sucked on you through your underwear, looking up at you curiously when your moans mixed with laughter. "What?"

You said a few nonsense words as you tried to speak between laughs and he smiled lovingly at your absolute joy since your breathless giggling was one of his favorite sounds.

Waiting for you to be able to tell him what was funny between your giggles, he pulled your underwear off of you and started to undress himself.

"I was...I was thinking about...what if you...imagine 3PO's confusion if you stormed to him all angry about him having an affair with me."

"You're ridiculous." He moved to you with his pants open, kissing you rather firmly.

"Am I really?"

"Of course you are."

"But I'm your ridiculous."

"That...does not really make any sense, honey."

"That I'm all yours?"

"Sometimes that doesn't really make any sense to me either."

He didn't respond to your furrowed brow, pushing off his pants and moving onto the bed next to you.

It was on top of you with your legs tight around his waist that he acknowledged your confusion, kissing along your hairline.

"This human being with gorgeous hair is mine." He kissed your eyelids. "Beautiful eyes." Your nose. "Perfect nose." Your lips. "Kissable mouth." Your neck. "Soft skin." Your breasts. "What have to be the most amazing breasts on any planet there is." He pushed your legs apart to run his lips across your thighs. "These thighs are soft enough to be pillows." And then he looked at you, running his tongue along your slit from your entrance to your clit. "The tastiest, warmest pussy I could ask for."

You moaned, pushing his shoulders for him to sit across from you and kissing each body part of his that you loved. "Your hair is perfect whether you've fixed it or you've slept on it." You kissed almost every inch of his face. "You're the most beautiful man in existence." His arms were kissed. "These are strong and hold me." His hands. "I love when these touch me." His chest. "Wonderful to sleep on." His thighs. "Fun to grab onto." You gently sucked on the tip of him, licking your lips when you pulled away. "And a cock that could have a bantha's thighs gaping."

Poe might have been looking at you with very dazed eyes, but then he was laughing like you had been as he tried to tell you something.

You smiled, kissing his bottom lip. "What's funny now, Dameron?"

"We need to stop talking now, baby." He was still laughing when he pushed you softly down onto the mattress, face against your neck.

"I like your voice!"

With your legs around his waist, he knew the perfect way to shut you up was to push into you.

You gasped, he moaned, and you were both shutting up, but Poe remembered how much he loved you in his tipsy mind and began kissing all over your face.

He really did love your little giggles.

You pressed your nose to his to let him know you wanted more, and he started a hard pace against you.

There was a bang and then you were gasping in a way he didn't enjoy as much, grabbing onto your head where it had smashed against the wall.

He panicked, attempting to pull away and staring at you like you were entirely crazy when you pulled him back.

"I'm okay. I'm good! Little bump. You were too fast. Go slow. Sloooow." You squished his face and moved to stroke his shoulders.

"Okay, baby."

He pushed in and out of you at a delightfully slow pace; you moaned every time he'd push back in, digging your nails into his shoulders.

He turned his head to kiss your wrist, then continued kissing until his lips met yours.

"Please touch my clit?"

"Like I'm gonna deny that plea." His hand moved between you to rub little circles on your clit, pressing on it to watch you squirm.

"Mmm...there...yes...Poe..."

"That it?"

He knew you were in sheer bliss when all your words were yes and there, rubbing on your clit a little faster.

You grabbed his wrist much to his confusion. "Love me."

"I do love you."

"Do only that then."

Poe furrowed his brow, but moved his hand away from you and continued his slow pace.

It was when your moans were even louder that he realized you were getting off from being fucked alone, and he almost came in you right then.

Your hand tangled in his hair when he pressed his face into your neck and then your mouth was falling open and your back was arching and he knew you were about to come.

You clenched around him like he knew, hips bucking up against his beautifully, and he was whining like an idiot against your neck as he allowed your own orgasm to spur his own.

He collapsed onto you, kissing along your jaw. "I love you, baby."

"Love you." You turned your face to press your cheek against his.

"I love when you're full of my come, when you ask with those sweet hips of yours for me to fill you up."

"Stop or I'm gonna want to do it again."

"And when your pussy tightens around me and I know your brain is all happy."

You patted his arm and he rolled off, pulling you against him to spoon you.

And you loved each other too much to care that you were both sweaty or that you both definitely had come between your legs and on your thighs, falling asleep with Poe's arms tight around you and your hands stroking his.

Like a Rocket: The Story Behind SpaceX’s Plan to Launch a Tesla Roadster Into Space

The tweet went out at dinnertime on the West Coast, local time for Tesla Motors and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.

“Payload will be my midnight cherry Tesla Roadster playing Space Oddity,” Musk’s tweet read. “Destination is Mars orbit. Will be in deep space for a billion years or so if it doesn’t blow up on ascent.”

Musk is going to launch his personal Tesla Roadster into space on the first SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. But why? Is he even serious? Can he do that?

Replying to a follower the next day, Musk wrote, “I love the thought of a car drifting apparently endlessly through space and perhaps being discovered by an alien race millions of years in the future.” A few days later, he told another follower it would have a copy of Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in the glove box, along with a towel and a sign reading, “Don’t panic.” Surely, it was all a joke. Funny guy, that Elon.

Three weeks later, just before Christmas, Musk took to Instagram this time with a photo of the car in a space capsule and an explanation.

“A Red Car for the Red Planet

“Test flights of new rockets usually contain mass simulators in the form of concrete or steel blocks. That seemed extremely boring. Of course, anything boring is terrible, especially companies, so we decided to send something unusual, something that made us feel. The payload will be an original Tesla Roadster, playing Space Oddity, on a billion year elliptic Mars orbit.”

A Red Car for the Red Planet Test flights of new rockets usually contain mass simulators in the form of concrete or steel blocks. That seemed extremely boring. Of course, anything boring is terrible, especially companies, so we decided to send something unusual, something that made us feel. The payload will be an original Tesla Roadster, playing Space Oddity, on a billion year elliptic Mars orbit.

A post shared by Elon Musk (@elonmusk) on Dec 22, 2017 at 10:47am PST

He wasn’t kidding.

It shouldn’t have been as much of a surprise as it was, though. Way back in March, Musk replied to a follower asking about the payload: “Silliest thing we can imagine! Secret payload of 1st Dragon flight was a giant wheel of cheese. Inspired by a friend & Monty Python.”

How did he end up deciding to launch his car into space, though? SpaceX employees with knowledge of the scheme spoke to Motor Trend on the condition of anonymity to share the story behind the “Red Car for the Red Planet.”

Late in the summer of 2017, the delayed launch of the first Falcon Heavy rocket was finally beginning to take shape, and it was time to talk payload. As Musk would later tweet, payloads on test flights are generally cheap, heavy objects to simulate a real payload without the risk of losing a billion-dollar satellite if the test went wrong, which isn’t uncommon. The engineers tasked with selecting and preparing a payload were aware of the wheel of cheese and Musk’s expressed desire to do something silly, so they brainstormed various unexpected payloads. One suggestion: a car. Practical heads prevailed, and the goofy suggestions were shot down in favor of the standard heavy block payload.

The presentation to Musk did not go as planned. The payload team assumed, incorrectly, that Musk would be fine with a typical test payload on such an important launch. That’s not Musk’s style. He wanted a fun payload and sent the team away to come up with one. They came back with their old list of goofy ideas, and Musk loved the car idea. He immediately offered up his personal 2010 Tesla Roadster Sport.

A few weeks later, the car rolled into a SpaceX workshop to be prepped for spaceflight, and the real work began. Things launched into space first must survive the launch, which as you can imagine is both loud and violent. Like all payloads, the Roadster needed to undergo sonic, vibration, vacuum, and other standard testing to make sure that it wouldn’t come apart during the launch and ascent and damage the rocket and that it would survive in space.

It was quickly determined the car needed to be stripped. After all, the only launch it was designed for was a stoplight drag. All the glass had to go, as did the battery. With the battery out, there was no need to keep the drivetrain in, either, so that went, too. Musk himself has been very open about prototype rockets tending to explode, and no one wants to scatter 1,000 pounds of lithium across the upper atmosphere. Other than the obvious weak points like glass, SpaceX engineers were impressed with the rigidity and durability of the Lotus-based Roadster in their tests.

The car was still in the test lab when Musk’s first tweet went out. It took the team by surprise, as the whole thing had been a big secret up until that point and was supposed to remain so until the launch. The tweet, followed by the photo confirmation on Instagram a few weeks later, unleashed a torrent of regulatory inquiries from regulators, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Starman in Red Roadster

A post shared by Elon Musk (@elonmusk) on Feb 4, 2018 at 9:50pm PST

Any rocket launched into space from a U.S. territory must be licensed by the FAA, and part of that license includes approving the cargo it will carry. Generally, the rules require the regulator to determine if the cargo is a threat to human health and safety to the safety of U.S. property. It also must be in compliance with international space treaties. Stripped of its potentially hazardous components, the Roadster should pass muster, but according to reports, FAA wasn’t happy about the surprise.

In the broader regulatory scope, the international Outer Space Treaty only covers planetary protection, designed to prevent other planets from being contaminated with any sort of life from Earth (such as hardy microbes that could hitch a ride on a spacecraft). Were the Roadster to land on Mars or if it were put in orbit of the planet where it could eventually be pulled down by gravity, SpaceX would be in violation. To get around that, the Roadster will be sent out to the general distance from the sun where Mars orbits and left to drift, never coming close enough to the planet to risk crash landing. Otherwise, legal experts mostly agree there isn’t really any law preventing SpaceX from sending the Roadster into space.

At press time, the Falcon Heavy rocket with Roadster on board was positioned on the launch pad in Cape Canaveral, Florida, preparing for a scheduled February 6 launch.

The post Like a Rocket: The Story Behind SpaceX’s Plan to Launch a Tesla Roadster Into Space appeared first on Motor Trend.

The Paradalis Paradigm, Ch. II

Chapter II of "The Paradalis Paradigm," an "Essence of Ragnarok" story.

Did I mention that this story is (loosely) based on a roleplay Kaiya and I did, once? 'cause, it totally is, ha hah~

Word count: 3,494 – Character count: 20,047 Originally written: October 3rd, 2018

One successful date later, Kaiya invites her new boyfriend to her nana's apartment for mysterious reasons…

Kaiya Paradalis originally created by Kaiya Canver

[ ↶ Prev. Story | ← Prev. Chapter | Next Chapter → | Next Story ↷ ]

“So… the other Joseph tells me you come here, often?” “Oh, yeah!” Kaiya said, handing her ticket to an usher who was standing guard outside theaters 1-through-12. “He says you usually just dance,” the fox standing beside her commented, doing much the same with his ticket. “I didn’t know you were into dancing…” “How could you not?” she laughed as they walked through the gate, together. “You know what kind of music I like best!” “That’s… a good point.” “Besides… dancing’s good for you! It keeps you in shape!” When she poked him in the belly, he gave a startled squeak and winced. “I… guess so,” he commented. “Yeah… maybe, I’ll give it a whirl, on the way out.” “That’s the spirit, Joe!” When he saw her happy smile, he couldn’t help but smile, as well. Kaiya had such a lovely smile… not to mention, a pretty face. He was so glad she’d invited him out…

“Let’s sit up near the front!” The bunny-girl took a sip of her soda as she dragged her friend down the aisle of the large, darkened movie theater. The previews for coming attractions had already started, but not many people had found their seats… which meant that her plan of sitting in the middle of the third row went off without a hitch. “I… think someone spilled a drink in my seat…” Joseph idly commented, noticing a wet feeling against his rear. “Aren’t you glad you have that sweater around your waist, then?” “If I can feel it through that… chances are, the seat is really wet.” “Well, if you’re gonna whine about it…” The girl giggled before standing and pulling him up. The two moved one seat over, then.

“I… I wasn’t whining!” the fox protested as she helped him into what had been her seat. “You’re so much fun to mess with, Joe…” she quietly cooed, playing with his long, pointy bangs and kissing his cheek. “I wasn’t whining…!” he continued, ignoring the warm feeling in his face… only to blink as Kaiya plunked the bucket of popcorn in between his legs and retrieved a handful. He thought about offering one of the drink cups he’d gotten for sharing… but, when she reached for another bunch, he decided to stay quiet. In his juvenile mind, having a pretty girl reach for popcorn, like that, was something that some people did on dates… and, he’d wanted to start dating Kaiya… officially… so… “H-hey, Kaiya…” “Shh!” she hushed. “The movie’s about to start.” “But–” When her hand took hold of his muzzle, he blinked for a second time. “Later!” she said with a wink and a grin. As she drew her hand back, she got another handful of popcorn. He decided, then, that… yeah, he could bring it up, later. Until they, he’d just enjoy the movie… and, enjoy her company.

Before they’d headed to the theater together, Joseph hadn’t been sure about the movie Kaiya had recommended. “It Came For Dessert” sounded a little flaky, to him, and the promotional poster that he’d seen – which had the title cutting through the middle, diagonally, while a large, stocky fellow loomed ominously over a terrified-looking, cake-holding lady – only made the movie feel cheaper… but, after about twenty minutes of comedic exposition… Joseph really found himself getting into it!

The title, as one might’ve guessed, was a parody of old-time horror films, as was the plot. Apparently, the main character – a girl by the name of “Rolanda,” – ran a bakery in the middle of a small, nameless town somewhere in the west. One day, something odd happened and a well-known couple disappeared from sight… only to come back three days later. When they came back, however, they were acting unusual… The two, who had previously avoided all things like unhealthy snacks… had developed an insatiable sweet tooth. Stranger still… as they started frequenting the bakery, so did many others. Before long, Rolanda couldn’t keep up… but, as she ran out of stock, the customers started getting restless… then, they became hostile!

By the middle of the movie, it was discovered that the people who were regulars at the bakery were actually creepy aliens whose home planet was devoid of sweets. They’d planned to take over the town as the start of a worldwide invasion which would have left the planet without any kinds of cakes, candies, or otherwise! But, the secondary-protagonist-and-love-interest of the movie – a man who only went by the name, “Berkowitz” – discovered that, despite Rolanda’s bakery being ransacked, the aliens had left something behind… and, with the help of a somewhat-eccentric scientist by the name of “Doctor Sierra,” they found that the aliens were weak against healthy foods!

The climax of the movie was one that really had to be seen to be believed. Bagels and baked donuts of all kinds flew across the screen, wheat germ was flung, some kinds of vegetables were used as melee and projectile weaponry, and Rolanda even managed to put together an oversized breakfast muffin that stopped the invasion in its track! And, as the town was celebrating and it looked like she and Berkowitz were about to kiss… dark clouds filled the sky and a projection of what looked like a man wearing a skull loomed overhead! The person, who was the leader of the aliens, claimed that the invasion had only begun… The clouds parted to reveal an overwhelming amount of stereotypical flying saucers hovering overhead, followed by the holographic head disappearing and a several questions appearing in a variety of goofy-looking “horror” fonts, all of which led up to a title card for a potential sequel: “It Came for Dessert II: Farmageddon.” All-and-all… it was a grand experience that no one who’d seen it would ever forget… in-world, or in the theater.

“That may have been the silliest movie I have ever seen!”

Joseph and Kaiya walked out of the movie theater together, both laughing and smiling from the movie they’d just seen. They weren’t the only ones, either… and, in fact, some of the people around them were laughing even harder than either of them!

“When that one guy used the shrink ray to go inside an alien?” Kaiya said with a big grin. “I nearly lost it!” “Traffic lights? Police officers? A whole network of vehicles?!” Joseph gave a mighty laugh, grinning just as widely as his friend. “And, that dance number…!” The bunny couldn’t take it. She’d started laughing and snorting like crazy! “I can’t wait for the movie to come out on disc! I’m gonna watch it over-and-over!” “Ah, Kaiya… this was such a good idea! I can’t think of a better date than this!” Without missing a beat, she told him, “Date’s not over, yet, Joe!” It was only then that he realized what he’d said… and, what she’d said. “I… wh-what?” She didn’t answer with words. Rather, she hooked her arm around his and continued to grin as she calmed down from laughing. At least… “Snrrrk–!” Until something tickled her funny-bone, again. “You’re still thinking about that dance number, aren’t you?” Joseph asked. “I can’t help it!” the girl said as she leaned over and slapped her leg. “It was so… so…!” “Random?” “Oh, absolutely!”

The two had to take another moment to calm down. When Kaiya put her arm back through Joseph’s, however… he twitched, his face turning a little red. “‘Date,’ huh?” the bunny asked, finally acknowledging what they’d said. “I-I-I mean… we don’t have–” “I was wondering when you’d ask…” “Wh-wha’…?” Kaiya grinned at him, bumping her hip against his. “Silly Joe… If you wanted to make us a thing, all you needed to do was ask!” “Y-you mean…?” he squeaked. When she nodded, he took a sharp breath and stared… before brightly smiling and giving her a hug! “Easy, there, hun!” she laughed, smiling as he picked her up and spun her around. “Save it for the honeymoon!” “H… honeymoon…?!” “Yeah.” She gave a shy sort of smile when she was set down. “I figure, why not skip all the junk and just get to the good part? Let’s get married!” “Ah–” He seemed like he wanted to say something… but, as he stood there, letting the girl fondly look into his eyes and hold his hands… nothing came out.

“Hey, Joe…” Again, nothing came out. At least… not until she poked his nose like a doorbell. “You know I’m kidding, right?” “I… I-I…” the flustered fox half-sputtered. “But…” Kaiya brightly smiled as she paused. “I… I’d be happy to be your girlfriend.” Joseph blinked… then, he blushed. She was being sincere…

“R… really…?” he found himself asking. When she squeezed his hands and gave a nod, all he could to do was say… “W-wow…” “Honestly… we, already were, practically… right?” She grinned, her long tail swaying as she said, “We go places, together… I love hugging you and making you blush… And, I know you really like it when I kiss your cheek or nose. So… yeah! Let’s make it official, why not?” He blushed a little harder as she leaned down and kissed his cheek. “I’ll be your girlfriend… if you be my boyfriend!” And, again… she found herself being hugged tight. “S-silly…” she chuckled. “People are staring.” Joseph blinked… then, he squirmed. People weren’t just staring… they were applauding! How much of that private conversation had they heard?! “Wanna get outta here?” Kaiya asked amidst the claps and cheers. “Y-yes, please…” Joseph stiffly said, setting her down and drawing a slight chuckle. Once that was agreed on, she quickly padded toward the front door of the theater, tugging Joseph along. She seemed like she was in a hurry to leave, too… but, she had her own reasons for wanting to go – ones that he would find out about not long after, in fact…

“What do you mean, you ‘have the place to yourself,’ this weekend…?”

After a short walk to clear their heads and a moderately-short bus ride further into the city, Kaiya had led her new boyfriend somewhere. It was somewhere he’d been before… but, usually, under much different circumstances.

“You mean, your nana isn’t here…? Like, at all?” he asked. “Nope!” She giggled, giving a little wiggle. “From today until next week, Nana’s apartment is aaall mine! Or, if you want…” She leaned in, purring into his ear… “All ours…” Joseph heavily blushed, tensely watching as his friend-turned-girlfriend leaned back. She was fondly smiling at him, her eyelids lowered and her cerulean eyes focused on his face. He’d noticed her fidget, glance down, kick her foot against the carpet, play with her hands, or do some other things… which, strangely, made him feel a little less tense. “G… gosh… Kaiya, are you…” “Excited?” She bit her lower lip gave a sharp nod before giggling. “I… I was gonna say, ‘nervous…’ But…” He blinked, then. She’d taken him by the hand… offered a shy sort of smile… and, pulled him inside, closing the door behind.

Kaiya’s nana’s apartment was a pretty nice one. It was situated on the tenth floor of a fairly tall apartment complex in the heart of Masamune City, a fair distance away from the namesake tower that everyone knew. It had two bedrooms – both situated toward the back – a kitchen area with all the usual equipment and gadgets, and a bathroom that was accessible from the living room. Speaking of which, he had been escorted to the center of the living room and planted on a comfy, maroon-colored couch… only to have the attractive bunny-girl straddle his lap and look into his eyes, again. He’d started blushing… and, so had she.

“S-say, Joe,” she said, her voice sounding nervous. Joseph swallowed before asking… “Y… yes…?” Without a word more… she brought her hands up… cupped his face… leaned in… and let her actions speak for her.

The teenage fox felt his fur stand on end as he felt the girl’s bunny lips touch his. It hadn’t been the first time she’d ever kissed him, though. Even before they were “official,” they’d ended up on that exact couch… in that exact position… doing exactly that – usually, just for laughs, or because she loved making him blush. However, knowing that he was kissing his girlfriend… and, that she was kissing him… her boyfriend… seemed to change everything.

For the first time ever, Joseph let his hands stray from the safe position of the couch cushions… let his arms curl around her thin frame… and, let himself pull her close. When he felt her arms slide over his shoulders and curl around his head, he closed his eyes and drew inward, doing something he’d only dared to do once, before, with mixed results. He was returning the kiss… But, unlike the only other time he’d tried it… “M… mm…” She seemed like she was loving it…

After what felt like a lifetime, Kaiya finally had to pull back and catch her breath. She placed her hands on his shoulders… There was a soft smile and a bright blush on her light-gray face… her tail was twitching, her heart was beating like a drum, and she felt nervous excitement race through her. She’d kissed him… really kissed him… and, he’d done the same, right back. “I… Wow…!” She panted before cuddling into his front and moving her arms around his middle. “Let’s do that, again, sometime…!” “Y… yeah…” he shakily said, gently draping one arm around her back while the other lazily rested to one side.

For a while longer, the two remained resting together, casually cuddling and softly breathing with their eyes closed… It wasn’t until Joseph felt something pinch his shoulder that he looked… to find that Kaiya was nibbling on him. “That… I…” He murmured, squirming in his seat. “You’ve… never done that, before…” “I… I know we have all weekend, Joe…” she said between nips, “b-but… now that we’re official… I kinda wanna… do something. Something fun… something we’ve never done!” She kissed his throat before purring… “Something… that I’ve always wanted to do…” “Y… you do…?” he squeaked… then, he blinked. She’d slipped out of his lap and stood. And, without any explanation, she’d trotted away, heading in the direction of her room and leaving the fox to wonder what she had in mind…

The way she kissed me… G-gods… She’s never kissed me like that, before…! A-and… the nibbling…! I… kinda like that… O-oh, and… the way she looked at me… Joseph tugged on his collar, his face brightening and body temperature rising. I… I wonder if she wants to… g-go ‘all the way…?’ Strangely… that hadn’t been the first time he’d thought about such things…

When he’d found Kaiya online, at the beginning of the school year, the two had really hit-it-off, becoming the best of friends practically overnight! It didn’t take long, after, before they were roleplaying… as themselves… and, doing a number of things that Joseph had, admittedly, done with other girls – or, people claiming to be girls, anyway. It wasn’t until a month later, though, that Joseph found out that she lived not even forty minutes away… which, to him, meant that they could take things from virtuality… to reality. But, when he finally met Kaiya… when he saw the girl from the photos in-action and heard her voice in-person, instead of through headphones… he found that he couldn’t go through with it. He liked Kaiya too much, for that. Kaiya was just as perky, friendly, semi-flirty, and playful offline as she was online… She would often tease him and bring up their online activities, just out-of-earshot of other people… as well as give him plenty of hugs and a few kisses on the cheek. Even when she’d finally invited him to the apartment, things stayed fairly platonic… though, as mentioned, Kaiya was a little more affectionate, when her nana wasn’t around… Still, neither one of them had ever seriously considered bringing their online actions to the real world – despite continuing to roleplay even after meeting up. Joseph, honestly, assumed she wasn’t interested… In fact, he pretty much assumed she had a boyfriend… until he worked up the nerve an asked. “Nope! I’m single!” was the answer he’d gotten. And, since that day… he’d been planning to ask her out… the first step toward a serious relationship.

As he sat there, feeling nervous and excited… he smiled. His patience had finally paid off. They were a couple! But, how long would it be before they started doing “couple things?” And… what sort of things did couples do… that they hadn’t, already? He wondered…

“Hey, Joooe…” The fox perked in his seat. Kaiya had called to him… and, she was using a much sweeter tone than usual. “Y–” was all he could get out, then. The girl had, apparently, changed her clothes… and, to his surprise… she was wearing little more than a long, white T-shirt that barely covered her lap. Again, it wasn’t like he’d never seen her bare legs, before… or, the boy-shorts she wore underneath when she was “dressed for bedtime.” But, with his mind stuck in “relationship mode…” those long, slender, spotted legs of her looked oh-so-much-nicer, to him…

“I’ve gotta surprise, for you…” the girl sensually cooed as she stepped his way, bring one foot directly in front of the other and swaying her hips. He hadn’t been trying to… but, he had noticed, when the fabric brushed just the right way… that she wasn’t wearing her usual boy-shorts. He was starting to wonder if she’d been wearing anything underneath… before he remembered spotting some pink straps hugging her hips, peeking out from over her baggy jeans, earlier that day. “What’s…” he started before clearing his throat. “What’s the surprise…?” “You’ll see…”

The fox stood to meet the bunny as she scooted in front of the couch… only to be nudged back into place and sat upon, again. He noticed, then… she was giving him an odd sort of look. Her lips were curled into a nervous sort of smile and she couldn’t stop biting her lower lip. Plus… her eyes kept darting back-and-forth between him… and, something to her side. “What’s… what’s up…?” he skittishly asked. A second later, he felt his face warm even more than it had been. She’d brought a hand down and raised the side of her shirt, revealing that… yes, she was still wearing her soft, pink undergarments. But… there was something else… “What’s… that?” Kaiya pulled something from her waistband… specifically, a little, glass tube with a cap. It appeared to be filled with some sort of see-through liquid, too. “Kaiya…?” The girl had no use for words. She hesitated, still nibbling on her lip… before popping the cap and drinking the contents of the vial. Not even a second later, though… “Mmph…?” She pressed up against his body… hard… and forced his lips against hers. “Mmph…!!” But, she wasn’t done.

Joseph’s eyes went wide as he felt her rock and nudge her head, her kiss becoming deeper-and-deeper. His face brightened to a whole new shade of red when he felt something other than her lips touch his… Her tongue was “knocking” on the front door that was his teeth… and, it wanted in. The golden-furred fox remained tense… He hadn’t expected Kaiya to be quite that bold. She’d seemed unusually shy… but, at the same time… it seemed like she was willing… almost eager… to try new things… with her new boyfriend. Somehow, that made him relax enough to let her go through with it… “Kkch–!!” It was only then… that he realized the mistake he’d made.

The instant he’d let his guard down, Kaiya took hold of his head, maintaining a tight seal against his lips! As she did that, a small flood of warm liquid came pouring into his mouth, surprising the fox and cutting off his air supply! His body, acting on its own, forced him to swallow the majority of it before he was able to pull away, coughing and choking. And, as he stared at his girlfriend with watery, somewhat-angry eyes, he realized… she hadn’t consumed whatever was in that vial, at all…! She’d force-fed it to him, in the guise of another kiss!

“What did you… why, Kaiya…?” he whimpered. His eyes blinked and he gave another, lighter blush as he felt her reach up and rub one of his ears. “You’ll see, hun…” That… did very little to comfort him. But, even as he sat there, confused, coughing, and short of breath… he didn’t feel too upset. Kaiya would never do anything to hurt him… and, even though that liquid tasted a little odd… kind of like alcohol of some kind, in fact… he had to trust her. She was his girlfriend… the one person in the world who would never betray him…

Right…?

Like a Rocket: The Story Behind SpaceX’s Plan to Launch a Tesla Roadster Into Space

The tweet went out at dinnertime on the West Coast, local time for Tesla Motors and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.

Musk is going to launch his personal Tesla Roadster into space on the first SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. But why? Is he even serious? Can he do that?

Three weeks later, just before Christmas, Musk took to Instagram this time with a photo of the car in a space capsule and an explanation.
