"It'd help a little if you weren't all... anxious, about stuff. It's not helping you, you should just relax." Maya offered with only a hint of an eyeroll. She was used to being the odd one, but when you lose your passion, and your replacement is a fine and complete understanding of physical desires... yeah, poor trade. But you make the lemonade you can.
"...Where did you get that from? There's definitely a connection but..." Maya mused over it, she couldn't feel anything like love. Well, more intense desire to jump each others' bones, which for teenagers was a lot like love and Siren's could sense that. "I dunno, I don't think it's love anymore. It might've been. You should go for it.
Kira sighed. "I can't help it. I just... Scott's really cute, and I don't want to mess anything up, but I always kind of lose my cool around guys I like. I just sort of ramble... like I'm doing now," she said, immediately shutting her mouth and biting her lip in frustration. Besides, she still wasn't sure that Scott felt the same way, which was what made her so nervous in the first place. And then there's Allison...
"Have you seen the way they look at each other?" She sounded helpless and kind of pathetic, even to her own ears. Kira definitely had plenty of moments of being, well, not so clever, but even she couldn't miss such clear signals as the ones that Scott and Allison put off. "I don't want to upset them, I guess, if there's still something there. I don't even know if Scott likes me like that."
Maya decided to be nice and not point out she knew Kira finds Scott cute, because that means pointing out that every time she's in the same room with the pair of them she can feel Kira's desire to get all hot and heavy with the Alpha. "It's just us, by all means ramble. Get it out of your system. You might not have noticed, but Scott isn't exactly a master wordsmith either."
"Yes, and I've felt the way they look at each other, and neither of them wants to pin the other to a flat surface, rip each other's..." right, not pointing that out, "The point is I don't know love, but passion isn't quite there anymore." Maya sighed and turned a corner, she'd pretty much forgotten that feeling. The one where you don't know who is interested in your mind, interested in your ass, not even interested in you... just figures you for an easy target.
"And he likes you, not like... animalistic raw desire like Stiles has for Lydia. But I can feel his interest in you. So relax!"
She listened with a doubtful expression, mildly embarrassed about the whole stupid thing. And Maya was a siren, after all; Kira was still getting used to the idea that she could sense love or... or lust. The thought only embarrassed her further, especially with Maya talking about Scott and Allison pinning each other down and...
It made her stomach clench to think about it, so Kira decided not to, instead focusing on on the words being said.
"I guess," she said finally, hesitantly, "I could talk to him." But not tonight. Maybe not this week. But eventually, she could do that, if it's really like Maya said.
"Yes, talking to him is exactly what you should do. Not what you want to do, but what you should do," Maya smiled because, sadly, she enjoys people's uncomfortableness in a terrible way. Probably a coping skill when people sober up from her powers after... you know. Part of why she tried not to do that anymore.
Fortunately she didn't have to keep dancing around things, cause the warehouse was dead ahead. There was one guy on the door, and she could feel his pent up... everything, from all the way back here. "Oh thank God, we'll have no trouble getting in," Maya grinned, just a bit wickedly, and clung to Kira's arm acting bubbly and giggling.
Probably best the werepack wasn't here, their senses would get somewhat influenced by her little show of power she worked into that giggle. To make the bouncer very likely to say yes to just about anything they wanted.
"What do you mean, what I want to do?" Sure, she'd love to have Scott's arms around her, to wrap hers around his neck and just... kiss him for a while, but that... That wasn't going to happen anytime soon, and it certainly wasn't the way to start this... whatever they might have. Maybe if she went through with talking to him, though, if he didn't mind...
She was still thinking about it when they turned the corner, and the change in Maya was so sudden that Kira wasn't sure how to act at first. One look at the bouncer, though, and it was clear what she was after, and with a siren's powers, it should be easy to get. Settling for a smile, Kira tried to laugh along with the other girl as they approached the guy, though it sounded a little less enthusiastic.
"You're somewhere between hide from him forever and wanting him to wrap his arms around you, pin you to the wall, and kiss you for a few hours. You should talk to him about how you feel. Life is short, especially in Beacon Hills." Maya shivered at the all too true comment, but also another thing, "and stop thinking about making out with Scott. I can feel you thinking about it this close."
When they got to the bouncer Maya glanced over the edge of her glasses and bit her lip, "Can we, like... just go in? We'd appreciate it." Maya giggled with a little more power, as she hung loosely off Kira suggesting they might, in fact, be a couple. But not saying it outright.
He was thinking something dirty, but it didn't feel like it was about them... that he had someone else in mind. That was nice, a change of pace at least. He opened the ropes for them and just let the girls through to the annoyed complaints from some of the people, others were close enough that Maya's stunt with her powers snared them too.
Maya looked a little drunk just from walking into the rave. There was enough energy for her that it was a little intoxicating just being in the room with it. Some people on the dance floor were discretely doing scandalous things, and many others wanted to be. "Drinks first or dancing first?"
"You're the one that brought it up," Kira retorted, feeling a tiny bit distressed about the whole thing. Scott was Maya's entire reasoning for why she should even come to this thing; it's not her fault she'd started thinking that way after Maya mentioned how he felt about her (supposedly).
...God, she really hoped it was more than just "supposedly".
Trying to shake the thought, she kept on smiling for the bouncer, and called a vapid-sounding "Thanks!" over her shoulder when they were allowed in. Kira's eyes wandered over the crowd anxiously, wondering if anyone else they knew was out there. Stiles was supposed to be studying, but maybe Lydia? She lived for the party scene.
"Drinking," she decided, still a little hesitant. If they were going to dance, she needed a little help loosening up first. One look at Maya, however, and she wasn't so sure. "Hey, are you okay?"
"Just getting used to all the people. Alcohol plus teens does not lead to quiet studygroup thoughts." Maya would probably take her drink slow this time, probably meaning something that didn't taste quite as sweet as her usual tastes. This was not a jello shots kind of night because people really wanted to get laid at parties like this.
The only advantage the alcohol gave her was it'd make her less... feathery, under her outfit. She was still getting used to being around Kira and needed to relax in a less drowning in lusty emotions way. Maya smiled at the man working the bar set up for the event, "Scotch and Soda for me, and whatever she's having."
Maya scanned the bar for the right sort of person to end up footing the bill for their drinks. Her eyes stopped on a man. 30-something, wedding band mark, with a girl who would never give him the time of day if they weren't forced into a connection. Maya felt that it was a boss-secretary thing. Maya hummed quietly as she got up close, "You'll pay for our drinks, right?"
“A margarita,” Kira told him, sticking to the classics when she wasn’t sure what else to do. One of them should keep their head, and if Maya was going for scotch, it would have to be her instead. It was kind of amazing, though, watch the other girl work her siren magic on that guy. Kira had been wondering how they were supposed to pay for this. She probably should have guessed that would be it.
Once their drinks were on the bar, Kira took a careful sip of her margarita and sidled back up next to Maya, eyes scanning the crowd. So far, no one looked familiar.
“So, what now?” she asked hesitantly. Should they go dance, or finish their drinks first?
