The morning after the night before

[xpoisonivy]

The sunlight crept in slowly through the leaves surrounding the large factory window, acting as curtains. When ivy felt the warm rays hit her face, she turned her head towards the window and opened her eyes, much like a sunflower. Her head was throbbing, memories coming back to her in pieces, how many drinks had she had? She remembered arriving

Crane wakes up with a start at the noise, cleans his glasses, and then slips them on. Oh dear God. "Yaaahhh!!" He scrambles out of the bed and onto the floor. "You! You manipulative succubus!"

Realising his nakedness, he pulls the duvet towards him, but Poison Ivy is clinging onto it a little stronger than Crane can pull. "Where are my clothes?!"

[xpoisonivy]

"There's no need for name calling, Jonathan. You're the one who's supposed to be immune to my charms." She glowered at him from the bed, wrapping herself with the Duvet out of spite. Really, she'd have no problem staring him down in the nude, but she'd rather he be a bit more vulnerable right now.

"Your clothes? You might have mentioned something about 'not needing them anymore' before you tossed them out the window. Can I offer you a fig leaf?" Her tone was a cross between unamused and hateful.

[scream_and_cry]

"I am! Well, I'm supposed to be..." Crane racks his brain. All told, the number of chemicals he's inhaled has probably done unmendable harm to his libido, but last night... "Did we...? Oh Jes- we did, didn't we..."

Crane chews his bottom lip. "A fig leaf won't be necessary. I'll... I'll sort something out." He's in a state of shock. Memories start flooding back and he alternately grimaces and smiles to himself.

[xpoisonivy]

"Apparently you aren't as strong as you thought. Was it good for you?" She asked coyly, sliding off the bed and dropping the covers on the floor. She looked over her shoulder, smiling, before sauntering over to her wardrobe and grabbing a silk robe.

"I'm sure you will, you're ever so... creative."

[scream_and_cry]

"From what I can recall..." He drums his fingers on his chin. "No. I can't recall. But I'm sure I'd remember if it was absolutely horrendous. I wouldn't be alive! I'd be in one of your giant venus fly traps!" He can remember, but he's not giving any details away. That part with the vine tendril... Ah.

"Do you have another robe in there? I'm beginning to feel the cold a little, and I'm not what's known as *fat*." He holds his scrawny arms across himself. "What do you remember?"

[xpoisonivy]

She smiled to herself and tossed him a fuzzy pink robe with bunnies on it, usually reserved for Harley. When she turned around to face him once more, her face was a mask of neutrality.

"I remember that you're a bit of a screamer." It didn't have to be true. This was verbal warfare. "That reminds me, I do need to feed my plants..."

[scream_and_cry]

Crane wraps the robe about himself and sneers at her. "You must have been particularly scary if you made me scream, woman." He ties the robe tight about his waist. "And at least I wasn't moaning all night." He adopts an Ivy impression. "Get more coffee! It's horrid! Change it! Take me roughly from behind! No, not like that, like this! Trousers off! Tackle out! Water the plants! Where's my presents!"

"I am reminded of why I've remained a bachelor all these years. I have no idea how Two-Face does it."

[xpoisonivy]

"Oh come on, it was nothing like that and you know it! You just don't want to admit that you actually enjoyed yourself."

She did not sound like that, she didn't! Really...

"I have no idea how you managed to do it, either. Maybe you should LEAVE!" A slender green arm pointed towards the bedroom door.

[scream_and_cry]

"Fine! It was enjoyable, it was even something of a release! And yes, fine, it was fantastic! But..." He can't think to finish his statement. "Oh, to hell with it." He storms over to the door in his fuzzy robe.

As he gets through the doorway he turns around. "This goes no further! No further." He looks at her, stood in the gown, and his eyes travel to her thigh, bare through the material. His gaze moves up to travel over the rest of her body and look her in the eyes.

It's a look that lasts a few seconds too long.

"I'll see you again tomorrow night."

[xpoisonivy]

"...Right, tomorrow." She looked away, the faintest bit of red on her cheeks, only to return his gaze and approach him. She got closer, slowly... even closer. A smile crept across her face, revealing pearly whites against crimson lips.

"Jonathan... pink is really your colour." She closed the door between them, and her laughter could be heard from the other side.

Crane would have to escort himself out.

[scream_and_cry]

There's a knock on the door. "I forgot my mask."

[xpoisonivy]

More hysterical laughter from the bedroom before Ivy even started looking for the mask. It had been discarded under the bed during last night's activities.

Stifling her laughter, Ivy opened the door and handed Crane his mask. Her hold lingered a bit longer than it had to and she smiled again. "Don't forget to bring it next time."
