what does that mean?

a heist movie? count me in.

[exteriors]

Cool. They're reshowing this movie from the 60s which probably doesn't mean that much to you but it's like 50 years before my time. Way old.

I could control plants and my skin was green and other weird side effects. I was kind of poisonous.

[birthed]

we only had old movies to watch so it's okay.

are you okay now? did it make you sick?

[exteriors]

What kinds of movies?

I'm okay. I guess it just made me feel weird in a way. I don't know how people with actual powers deal with that all the time.

[birthed]

i don't think you're weird. [ she feels the urge to tell ivy about her brother's sudden powers but... it feels like a betrayal, somehow.]

idk like armageddon and top gun.

[exteriors]

Top gun is good. Never seen Armageddon.

Thanks though. I have a video from the other day.

[ there's a video that does follow. it's ivy's hand pressed to the glass of her bedroom window, the plant on the other side crawling up to meet her at the wiggle of her fingers. ]

[birthed]

so you were basically like the snow white of plants

[exteriors]

I did not exactly feel or look like a fairytale princess, but since you put it that way, yeah. I mean, it was cool.

[birthed]

i didn't get anything so...

[exteriors]

You were probably better off in this case. I like being a regular boring human being.

[birthed]

it makes life here more interesting.

but you ARE okay, right?

[exteriors]

I'm cool as a cucumber. I mean, my apartment's pretty much a greenhouse now, but it at least smells really good all the time. I mostly have flowers.

[birthed]

and we're about to go on a date.

[ so things are good! ]

[exteriors]

Spoiler alert: I'm going to bring you flowers.

[ things are very good! ]

[birthed]

i'm going to bring YOU a teddy bear

[exteriors]

Are you one-upping me on date gifts?

[birthed]

i don't like to lose :)

[exteriors]

What's the prize for being the most romantic?

[birthed]

a kiss

[exteriors]

In this game, there are no losers.

[birthed]

exactly

[exteriors]

So, tonight we'll see who the winner is?

[birthed]

exactly. so i'll meet you there.

[exteriors]

[ and so they meet, ivy almost cordial in her presentation of a purple and blue bouquet of flowers from the many plants that found their way into her apartment after that strange magic took over. it's a nice arrangement – ivy has a pretty good eye when it comes to such things, even if she knows that the flowers won't matter in the end.

in fact, they're sitting a chair away from the two of them, settled in the back of a movie theatre. she's nearly forgotten what they meant to see.

actually she has entirely forgotten what the meant to see. she's kind of busy being wrapped up in octavia. it's nice that this is actually familiar to her, familiar lips and skin and touch. it's far too warm now, and she's already regretting the sweater she pulled on before leaving. they've lifted the armrest between them to settle in close and she's pretty sure they have enough privacy in the dark. it's perfect. ivy can't help but giggle against octavia's lips. ]

Did you win or did I win?

[birthed]

[ octavia, in the meantime, is completely comfortable with what she is wearing on the date, especially because the air between them is heating up even in the slightly chilly movie theater.

ivy brought flowers which are now sitting on the seat next to the cute, cheap teddy bear octavia had picked up on the way. and when ivy speaks, octavia hums against her lips, thinking for a moment...]

You did, [ she murmurs, kissing her again, slower this time, deepening it after a moment. movie? what movie?]
