Condition of Readiness

*Characters in this story are in their early twenties, they are just short.*

They met at a Subway, like usual for Fridays, to determine the roles for the night. A guy with a pretty average build stood in line while his short friend kept him company. Quin, the guy, was around 5' 8" while his female companion was closer to 4' 11" or 5'. While they waited for the person ahead of them to order they started talking

"So you got popcorn covered for tonight?" Quin turned, glancing down at his friend.

She looked up at him, and stated very matter-of-factly. "Of course I have it covered, you just focus on renting a good movie, dork."

"Hey with that attitude I might hide the sodas on the top shelf."

Ella gave him a few playful punches while they took a step forward in the line. They live in a pretty small town, on a pretty small island and it's been a little tradition of theirs for the last year to rent a couple of movies every friday from one of the few rental shops still open in this day and age and watch it together. They can range from newish releases to classic B-movies or sometimes if they have an open schedule they get a few seasons of Dragon Ball on dvd.

Ella stepped in front of Quin and put a pointed finger on his chest. "You know you aren't even that tall, you'd be a munchkin on the mainland."

"As long as I'm bigger than you I can live with that." Quin stated as he put his hands in his hoodie pockets and moved forward in line.

Ella exhaled exasperated and defeated. Normally she doesn't tolerate jokes about her height, but she knows that there's no ill intent between her and Quin. They've been friends for a long time.

They stepped forward ordering their usuals, Quin picking up a turkey sandwich loaded with veggies and sauce, while Ella went for a Ham, bacon and cheese sandwich with jalapenos and lettuce (Because Quin says she needs more veggies).

Quin grabbed their meals and put them in their snack bag before heading to the soda fountain with his cup. "Okay I'll go pick up the movies and meet you at my place?"

"Duh, I'll see you in 30 loser." Ella said while she paid her part of the meal and walked out.

Quin finished filling his cup with Mountain Dew before going out to his car. He noticed the clouds overhead, makes sense since they were still technically in cor 4. He paid it no mind since it was unlikely they'd be hit with a typhoon. He opened the door to his little 2012 Camry and drove maybe 5 minutes away to the rental place. It was only open for a few more hours so he made it quick, he picked up Tremors 1 and 2 plus the 4th season of Dragon Ball.

"So is that all?"

"Yeah, it should be enough for tonight."

"Tell Ella I said hi, oh and drive safe out there!" The clerk waved as Quin walked out, being a small town everyone knew everyone, He waved back and hollered to her to have a good night.

It was drizzling a bit now but it wasn't anything he wasn't used to, Quin hopped in his car and drove to his apartment building. He took his time admiring the ocean while the rain calmly reverberated on the roof of his car. He pulled up to his building and saw his Ella's car in the guest parking lot. When he got up to his door he saw his best friend in a pull over with her duffel bag.

"What took you so long?" She asked stepping aside so he could open the door

Quin opened the door and let her in while answering the question. "I took the scenic route."

"We only have one road that leads here, dumbass." She kicked her shoes off and leaned down to pull her wet socks off.

He got a view of her surprisingly nice ass. He never noticed before but Ella has always had a pretty full ass, probably because he doesn't spend his free time ogling his best friend. She leaned up and stretched.

"I'm gonna go change okay?"

It took Quin a second to snap out of his little realization. "Uh-Okay."

"Don't start without me." She took a carnival sized plastic bag of popcorn out of her duffel bag and walked to his room to change.

He set up the movie and thought to himself for a bit. Was Ella hot? He never thought she was ugly or anything but he never thought about her like that before.

She had a nice ass, a pretty decent rack, not to mention she had a pretty cute face. He thought to himself for a bit, realizing that she in fact was pretty hot.

He heard his door open and she came out with her pajama bottoms and seemingly swapped her pullover for his.

Ella plopped down onto the couch, putting her feet up on his lap."Kay I'm good to go."

"Didn't you bring your own hoodie?" Quin asked while he started up Tremors and pulled up the bowl of popcorn.

"Yeah, and?"

"Nevermind."

She hugged herself in his pullover and said in a teasing voice, "You don't want to share with your bestest fwend?" before laughing.

"Haha very funny" He popped a kernel in his mouth. "You sure are acting your height."

"Oh you did not just say that!" She yelled as she leaned over on top of him to grab his wrists. They beşiktaş escort wrestled a bit laughing before relaxing to watch their movie.

An hour into the movie Quin was thinking about Ella, his eyes drifted to her lazy figure. She was draped half on the couch and half on him. He wasn't thinking about it earlier but now that he was paying more attention he noticed she wasn't wearing a bra. She was always relaxed with him, but he never realized she was that relaxed.

"Hey are you wearing a bra?" He asked, trying to sound as nonchalant as possible.

"When do I ever wear one over here?" Luckily for Quin she was more invested in the movie then dumb questions.

"I guess I never noticed."

"Why, is it making you uncomfortable that my boobs aren't in a bra?" She teased.

"Whatever tiny tits" He teased back, though it was a complete lie. She had probably a C cup, 32-34C.

"They are not tiny!" She was standing up and red in the face.

Quin put up his arms in self defense "Hey, I'm just messing around..."

"Whatever...dick" She sat back down and stuffed herself into the corner of the couch away from him.

She had her head resting on her knees while she took the whole popcorn bowl away, to punctuate her anger.

He decided to just let her cool down a bit and silently watched the movie.

"I'm stealing your bed tonight because you were a dick." She stated after we finished Tremors. She got up fairly early into the night and walked to his room and slamming his door.

Quin sighed and put everything away before going to his room to grab his blankets and pillow. Only to see Ella standing in front of his mirror, topless and squeezing her breasts together.

"They aren't right..?" Ella whispered to herself, before seeing Quin in the corner of her eye.

"Oh shit...um" He quickly closed the door and heard shuffling.

"Go ahead." He heard with seething rage hidden behind each syllable. He stepped into his room and saw Ella wearing his hoodie again, tomato red cheeks. Before she slammed his pillow into the side of his head.

"Aw fuck."

"Knock next time you shit head!" She grumbled and continued "I am going to shower. Get your stuff."

"Sorry..." He grabbed his bed stuff and walked out while she took some things to the bathroom.

Though they lived on an island, Ella had stayed inside more plus she had asian heritage. She was very light skinned, which he fully saw after getting a look at her chest. She had cute pink nipples on her sizable chest. Her skin looked so soft...he couldn't help it when his cock stirred thinking about her.

"Damn it..." He moved to the couch and got set up. Deciding he'd shower in the morning he let his eyes close and drifted to sleep.

~In the morning~

He woke up to the sound of pouring rain. He tried to get up but there was something on his feet. He opened his eyes and saw a very annoyed Ella with her clothes wet and her dark brown hair drenched, soaking her shoulders even more.

She sipped some coffee and flatly said. "Cor 2. Flash Flood. I'm stuck with your perv ass for another day probably."

"Tried to go outside?" He asked weakly.

"No, I showered with clothes on." She sarcastically stated while getting up and pulling my hoodie out of her duffel bag.

She took off her shirt along with her bra (Both soaked) and started putting on the hoodie.

"Aren't you going to change in the room?"

"Well you already saw them, so does it matter?" She asked while stripping her jeans off and going for bag again. She got her pjs on and gestured for Quin to move aside "Scoot over for me."

Quin sat up and Ella sat down with him starting Tremors 2. She pulled some of his blanket over for herself " I'm so cold..."

She yawned and got comfy, laying back. onto the couch. Just as she was starting to slip into slumber lightning struck; Then thunder boomed so loudly that you could feel the vibrations in your chest. Ella yelped, grabbing at Quin for dear life.

"Calm down..." He tried to comfort her, but couldn't think of how. Her breaths started getting shallower as she started to hyperventilating.

He started to do what felt natural, wrapping his arms around her and holding her. She hid in his chest while another round of booming thunder echoed in the skies. He stroked hair.

"Hey...it's going to be alright..." He tried his best to sound reassuring, barely succeeding while Ella confided in him.

"It's...so loud..." She gripped his shirt at his shirt and looked up at him with pleading eyes. "Please make it stop..."

"Ella..." He had no idea what to do...she was begging him to make it better, to fix her problem. He almost never sees her acting weak, especially not like this. She looked so small and fragile, he felt like he had to protect her.

He held her closer while the thunder continued, she breathed erratically and sobbed into his chest for half an hour before the thunder calmed down.

"Thanks...Quin..." beşyol escort She sounded like her normal self mostly , her voice was still a bit raspy from the crying.

"No problem..."

She pulled away from him and wiped her face. "Sorry...about that..."

"Hey, it's fine you just got scared." He tried to reassure her.

"Yeah...but that was really bad..." She got up and wipe her nose in the kitchen.

"It's whatever." I started the movie and some cracks of lightning sounded, no where near as bad but still pretty audible.

"Can...I just lay with you a bit?" She nervously asked, fidgeting with her fingers already very anxious. He responded by laying down and patting next to him for her.

"Thanks..." She laid next to him, leaning into him and hiding in his chest. He pulled the blanket back over them and held her. "God I feel pathetic."

"What for crying?"

"I was sobbing in your chest for like half an hour, so yes probably that." She closed her eyes, her cheeks feeling hot from embarrassment. "No joking about this, okay?"

"Promise." He played with her hair a bit instinctively, it was soft if a bit damp and smelled like lavender.

She looked up at him and curiously asked. "Why are you touching my hair..?"

"Huh?" He pulled his hand away. "Wasn't thinking about it I guess..."

She leaned into him and looked down a bit. "I didn't say stop you know."

He rolled his eyes and stroked her hair. A bit of weak thunder sounded, but she simply leaned deeper into him whenever it happened.

"You know...you're pretty cute like this." He wrapped his arm around her.

"Watch your hand, buddy." She looked up at him trying to do her usual glare, while he rested his hand at the small of her back. "And I am not cute."

"Is there something wrong with being cute?" He asked while pulling her into him slightly.

"No, but you aren't allowed to call me cute."

"Why no-"

"Because I said so." She poked him in the stomach. "End of discussion."

"Such a bitch sometimes..." He played with hair and massaged her scalp a little.

"Mm..." She leaned into his hand smiled to herself.

"Want me to start the movie?"

"Just put on some netflix or something."

"Got it." Quin started putting the show on before she grabbed his arm and sniffed.

"Jeez...go shower." She got up and pulled the blanket off them. "I'll put on the show."

"Rude..." He stood up and walked to the bathroom.

She sat there and picked up the blanket, taking the scent in. "Dumbass..."

Ella thought to herself about how glad she was that he was there. They rarely open up like she did today, but if either of them needs it the other will be there.; no matter the circumstance. She couldn't pretend that that kind of trust hadn't developed into other feelings. She'd tried to give him some hints, but he seems to be so dense that he never realizes them.

"You'd think the fact that I'm wearing your hoodie without a bra would be a red flag but noooo." She sighed and glanced over to the bathroom. "Such an idiot..."

The door to the bathroom opened and she scrambled to look relaxed. Draping herself across the couch.

"What did you put on?" Quin asked drying his hair as he walked out.

"Supernatural."

"Oh cool." He sat down next to her and pulled the blanket on.

Ella decided she wasn't going to try and cuddle with him again and they spent the rest of the day watching netflix, cooking lunch and talking.

~ 5 p.m. ~

They were in the middle of a friendly debate, which quickly lead to rolling on the floor wrestling each other to the ground playfully. When suddenly the power went out.

"Aw shit." Ella blurted out while looking up in darkness.

"Man you really have a potty mouth." Quin was currently pinning her to the ground, his legs on either side of her hips and her wrists pinned above her head.

"Whatever, we're both adults." she squirmed underneath him, her body tingling a bit from the lack of control. She couldn't really see anything and his position had her completely underneath him at his mercy; she was loving every second.

"I'll go get the candles." She felt his hands let go of her wrists and the weight on her pelvis lifted. She sighed and sat up, looking outside at the gloomy, darkened sky. She heard his foot steps leave and come back, the clicking of a lighter then finally saw the soft flicker of a candle.

"So what do we do now?" She sat with him in the darkness

"I don't know honestly." He yawned and leaned back.

"I have an idea..." She said smirking to herself in the dim light. "Close your eyes."

"Okay...?" He slowly shut his eyes waiting for whatever his crazy, friend had in mind.

Then he felt her straddling him, leaning on him. Just as he was about to question her he felt her warm lips on his. She finally decided, the easiest way for him to figure out her feelings was to make the first move. beykent escort She leaned into him, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him gently. Her lips were so soft and warm, the feeling and sensation caused a twitch in Quin's pjs. He wrapped his own arms around her and returned the kiss.

"Mm...finally you got it..." She pulled away and looked at him. "I was half convinced you'd think I was messing around."

"What do you mean?" He asked before pulling her into another kiss.

"I...Mm..dude, I'm wearing your clothes with nothing on underneath." She pulled away and put a finger on his lips. "We have a sleep over like every friday on the couch sleeping together."

"That's weird?" He said a bit muffled by her finger.

"You are so dumb..." She moved her finger and kissed him deeply, biting his lip a little.

"So what does this mean now..."

"It means to shut up...and kiss me....and let whatever happens tonight happen." She looked up at him smirking to himself.

"Whatever happens...?" He still seemed to not get her meaning.

She,sighed to herself and grinded into his crotch a bit, which was now sporting a growing bulge. "Whatever happens..."

He blushed and nodded, she blushed and went back to kissing him. He couldn't believe what was happening, his best friend grinding on him and kissing him passionately.

"No more talking okay...?" She looked at him with her same pleading eyes. "Let's just enjoy it right now...questions later..."

He nodded and she kissed him deciding to slip in a bit of tongue. He ran his hands down her body, giving her ass a nice squeeze. It really was as nice as it looked, just the right feel for a grab. She moaned softly and leaned into his hand.

She pulled away and slowly pulled off his pullover, revealing her 34c breasts. He wasted no time, giving one a quick squeeze. She yelped out and told him to be gentler. He slowly palmed it while rubbing against her pink nipple with his thumb. She felt tingles of pleasure run across her body as he played with her breasts. She moaned softly and almost jumped when out of no where she felt his lips wrap around one of her nipples.

"Oh...fuck..." She gasped while he played with one breast while sucking and teasing the other. She looked down at him, almost in awe; this wad real. Quin was playing with her body, making her burn up inside as he sucked and kissed and explored her. She shuddered when he switched breasts and almost whined when he pulled away.

"Let's go to my room...?" He suggested with her quickly nodding before asking.

"Won't it be dark...?" She wanted to see his face, while he enjoyed whatever she could offer up...

"I'll grab the candle...let's go..." She nodded again and they moved quickly to his bedroom.

He could feel his cock straining against his pjs. She noticed and gave him a squeeze through them while kissing him.

"How about...I give you a present..." She bit her lip before slowly running her hand down his chest and sinking to her knees.

"You mean...?" He knew what she meant and had no objections...

She hooked a finger in the elastic of his boxers and pjs and pulled them both down slowly. The scent his cock gave was almost intoxicating to her, he was around 7 inches and pretty thick too. She gave the tip a kiss, licking any precum off her lips. He was salty, but not bad, she actually liked the taste; and she wanted more. She licked up the shaft of his cock, paying extra attention to underneath the tip. She heard him moaning softly and felt him grip her hair, a good sign. She wrapped her lips around the head before slowly bobbing her head back and forth. He was bigger than toys she's practiced with, but he wasn't going to get the best of her. She bobbed forward getting halfway through and kept as much as she could down her throat while stroking the rest. She pulled off gasping for air then sunk back onto his cock. Hearing his moans, she let go and slowly pushed all the way to the base before pulling off and stroking him quickly.

"Come on little guy..." She smirked and asked Quin. "Where would you like to make a deposit...?

Quin gripped the back of her head and forced all the way to the base again, she gasped and gagged on his cock while he shot string after string down her throat. She slowly pulled away coughing a bit.

"Warning next time asshole." She warned as she cleaned up any remaining come, licking hungrily. She needed more...

"So should I return the favor...?"

"Do you want to have raw sex with me?"

He laughed, caught off guard by her usual bluntness.

"Are you safe?" He asked just to make sure.

"I'm on the pill and I know you haven't been getting any lately." She stood up and kissed him deeply. "But, if we do this...we aren't just friends anymore got it?"

He pulled her close to him and put his forehead to hers. He felt that was a pretty good deal, being with his best friend for the price of sex. Easiest choice he'll ever make. "Of course...honey."

"Do not call me honey, you dork." She kissed him gently and slowly laid back.

"I'll take the lead then..." He pulled his own shirt off while grabbing at the strings of her pjs, slowly he undid her tie and slid her pants off. She wore a pair of pink panties, which has a huge damp spot at her crotch. He ran his hand up her leg and rubbed her inner thigh with his thumb.
