[ Dean tilts his head, a tiny little half smile plastered across his face ]

You know, I don't say this all that often, but I think I'd rather gaze at your ass all day long then take a once in a lifetime view of the eclipse. There's just something about how it curves that...

unf, it's just perfect.

[ and yes, yes he is staring at Claire's ass. Quite openly too. Just don't drop those cupcakes. He's starving. ]

[ What cupcakes she's probably laying on her stomach on a picnic blanket.

The cupcakes are over THERE -->.

She can't decide if she wants to react or not. Part of her thinks he does this just to rile her up. So she settles for rolling her eyes and being humorous over punching him. A lazy half-smile overtakes her lips and she rolls over onto her back, quirking an eyebrow. ]

Better? Not as distracting this way.

[ he gives a grunt of disapproval ~~and all the cupcakes, stop distracting him!~~ ] Hardly. You're just all around distracting. It's why I like you. [ he leans a little closer and presses a kiss to her nose ] Now turn back over so I can stare some more. [ and maybe do a little bit of fondling ]

If I'm all around distracting why can't I stay just like this? [ She loops her arms around his neck quickly and gets a good grip on him when he leans forward, and after he's done being stupid levels of precious with that nose-kiss, she pulls herself up and gives him a good one right on the lips. ]

Ask nice.

[ he leans in for a second kiss, savoring it before he lets up ] I thought I was. Now scoot it. You know you've got the most perfect ass around.

[ Claire likes these multiple kisses. This is a thing she could get used to. She rolls her eyes and flops back over onto her stomach, though it won't be easy to look at the eclipse this way. She'll have to disappoint him again soon. ]

You know how to work the flattery angle, that's for sure.

[ yeah, whatever. The eclipse can wait because he's definitely doing his fair share of ogling with both eyes and hand. ]

That's because you like me. [ and for some awful reason, he's pretty into her as well. ]

Well, yeah, that. But you like me back. So you're even better at it. [ Haha, tables turning. Also Dean has a great butt himself, for the record, but Claire's big fixations are his lips, his freckles, and his amazing upper arms. No seriously. And his hands that are rough and calloused but somehow manage to be so gentle annnnnnnd

fuck eclipses. ]

[ now that's speaking his language right there and he just scoots up closer and press her back against him. ]

Just shut-up and watch the eclipse. It's what you dragged me out here for. [ and then he can have all the fun distracting her ]

[They've just been out to a movie, a highly successful date without any violence or property damage, and John is feeling pretty fucking good about himself as they walk (home?) back to her parents' place. He's getting somewhat better at being surrounded by humans since ending his time hidden away at Xavier's, where he tended to ruin the field trips into human territory - the anger still burns low, ready to be stoked at any moment, but he's getting some control over it.

Funny how Xavier never taught him that, with all of his talk of pacifism and diplomacy. It took something just a bit stronger than that.

He squeezes her hand a little, tilting his head up to look at the sky, then stops in his tracks and grins.]

Holy shit. Look up, Claire. The sky is falling.

[ Anyone who spends a large amount of time around Sandra Bennet is probably rendered capable of keeping their cool, even if she's human. She's literally the coolest mom in the history of television - well. Almost. Second to Joyce Summers - BUT THAT IS NEITHER HERE NOR THERE. I think it's safe to assume that she's been more than warm and welcoming to John even when Noah hasn't, because boyfriends are bad, Claire never grows up, normal dad stuff.

She smiles as they walk, looking over at him occasionally just because she can - just because she wants to. It's rare she sees him in a truly good mood. She squeezes back, and is so busy looking at his face that she doesn't even notice he's stopped at first. Her eyebrows raise and she turns her gaze to the stars. Immediately, she lights up. ]

Oh my god! [ Though the last time astronomical phenomena occurred she lost her powers, this seems harmless. And good. And really well timed. ] We should find a hill or something. So we can sit, if you want.

As long as it won't start a fight if I get you home a bit late.

[A sidelong look, both amused and warning: he thinks she must know full well that his temper is only mollified at the moment, not gone, but he still feels the need to remind her. Because there are still moments when his fingers itch for his lighter after a sharp look or an offhand comment from Noah.]

The path to the viewpoint isn't far. Can those shoes handle a hike?

I'll send a text, it'll be fine.

[ At which point she pulls her phone out, and does just that. She's a champion texter, so it doesn't take long, and she shifts her focus back to him immediately. ]

Yeah, I've run from people in these. [ Sad reality is ... so sad. ]

I hope they got what was coming to them in the end. [His eyes darken. No one should be chasing his girlfriend. And no one ever will again, if he has any say in it.]

[Then he relaxes a little, giving her a smile.]

I guess blisters aren't a problem, huh? C'mon, this way.

[Before long, they're hoofing it up a steep trail that leads to an outcropping of rock with the best view of any spot in the city. There are viewpoints with roads attached, sure, but the only one that matters also makes you work for it. He keeps hold of her hand as he climbs, still not trusting those heels completely, since there are spots of loose rock where his own shoes slip and slide a little.]
