WARNINGS: oh idk.
SUMMARY: spider comforting.

[ jess felt kind of... really bad about all of this. granted, she should probably feel worse since reilly's one of the few people who knows what she is, but... anywhere is better than here, right?

nonetheless, she knows one person who's feeling awful which is why, chinese food in hand, she's knocking on the door of where may's staying, chewing on her lower lip. (for once, it's sans sunglasses. well, they're on her head anyways. see? trust!) ]

[ jess just makes a face at this, hand immediately moving to slide her sunglasses back over her eyes. but she doesn't though. :|a SHE'S TRYING. ]

The food's getting cold, you know. [ rattling the bag in her hand ]

[Baw, Jess. May gives an appreciative smile as she steps back and finally lets her in.]

Hey, it's a good thing.

[ JUST GONNA IGNORE ALL OF THIS. still talking about the chinese food as she walks in ]

So I got General Tso's, shrimp in lobster sauce, and some other stuff. Didn't really know what's quite your fancy.

Stuff is good.

[Having someone ignore every topic they didn't like...it was like having a small Reilly back already.]

Just grab a plate and heap it on. I don't think there's a dish I've met I haven't liked.

Spoken like a true spider.

[ pulling it all out of the bag and grabbing some plates or something IDK but now there's food out.

she's just gonna be eating out of one of the cartons though YEP. awkwardly using chopsticks ]

How're you feeling?

[She shrugs a little as she eats.]

I don't know...I don't know what to say, really. I mean he's from home...so he's at home. With me, I guess? However all this messed up sci-fi stuff works. So I should be okay...Things are just a lot different here. Better, when it comes to him. And now...

[Loopy, shrug like gesture with the chop sticks. Yeah.]

That probably doesn't make any sense, does it?

[ eating noodles and just watching. ]

Not really, but a lot of things here don't. I dunno, I mean. He's left so he's technically gone? So I guess you miss him. Even if he is over back in your world.

Yeah...

[Digging into noodles with slightly more than needed vigor. For all her talk about sharing problems, May doesn't really enjoy doing it.]

But you must have something like that, right? Someone from home that things are better with here than they are there.

[Like Johnny. She doesn't say it. But she thinks it. Loudly.]

[ a slight pause in her eating at this. but then keeps on chowing down like nothing's wrong ]

Uh. I guess.

[Raised eyebrow.]

You guess?

[ shovels food in mouth. ]

Yes.

[A sigh. Do you see how lonely and sad she is Jess? Do you?]

Alright, alright. Keep your enigma going.

[ AWKWARD FACE............. ]

What.... Do you want me to talk about that?

[Shakes her head]

No, it's okay. I was just wondering how that was going since prom.

[ LONGEST PAUSE. and then so quietly. so. so. so. quietly. ]

We're dating.

[ before going back to shoving food in her mouth. ]

[She pauses for a moment. Blink. Did she hear that right? A small smile starts to form.]

What was that?

[ RED FACE. SHE DID NOT COME HERE EXPECTING TO TALK ABOUT HERSELF. ]

Do I have to say it again...?

I just didn't catch that.

[Look at this face. Oh yes she did.]

[ THE FLATTEST MOST UNAMUSED FACE. dammit ajfasdks

]

We're. Dating.

[THE MAY IS PLEASED. And successfully distracted for the moment.]

Good. You two were the cutest couple at the dance. Anyway, it's about time one of the spiders got together with a Fantastic.

[ WELL AT LEAST HER PERSONAL LIFE IS HELPING MAY. :|

is making her way through the fried rice now. ]

Well, considering there's only one other spider in my world, and three of the Fantastic Four isn't applicable....

[ REALLY GUYS THIS IS PROCESS OF ELIMINATION ]

[Waves a chop stick]

There's a world of Fantastic people across the multiverse. Especially, you know. Later on.

[Pauses as she takes a bite. Okay, time to drop that topic. Bringing up the fact she knows Johnny's kid back home is...probably not the best idea.]

But you're cute together. I'm glad.

[ raising an eyebrow at that comment BUT SHE KNOWS NOT TO PRY. omnomnom fried rice.

there's kind of a small little smile. ]

Yeah, I'm glad too.

[ awkward ]

[Still beaming a little.]

Well, that's one down.

[ blinks. mouth full of food: ]

What?

Couple. Now the rest of them just need to get to work on being happy instead of brooding.

Who's brooding?

It's a natural state of being for more spider/devil people.

Yeah, that and self-loathing. So this has to do with another spider and-or devil?

And a few other people...

[She gives a small shrug. Charlie was still hurting, she knew, but just flirting with a boy or two would be good for her.]

It's just good to see people happy...but, that's later. You should celebrate yours first. I'm kinda surprised Johnny didn't write another sky note about it.

[ pause. shoving some shrimp in her mouth. ]

Ugh, I'm so glad he didn't. That was so embarrassing.

It was romantic.

[She tries to counter argue with that, but she has to concede the point.]

But so from someone whose never had to play the secret identity game.

[ NOT HER DEFINITION OF ROMANCE BUT WHATEVER ]

I guess everyone knows who the Fantastic Four are. Universal thing.

Er, Fantastic Three. Fantastic Nonexistent? Whatever.
