Connie breathed deeply. ”Ok, now that we got that out of our system.” She chuckled, rubbing her newest love bite.
 
“For now.”
 
Connie pointed at the smug hybrid with a blushing smirk, but didn’t respond to his cheekiness.
”We need to figure out what we're gonna start with.” She stated as she dragged Steven and the chair with her, reaching behind him to lay her fingers on the console. 
 
“I figured we can start with shape, and go down the list.” Steven offered as he held her by the waist, stealing a few kisses on her stomach. “I can feel your tone-ness through your clothes.”
 
“You’re trying to distract me with facts.” Connie said, nonchalantly, ”I'm cute, I’m ripped, I'm hot.” She kissed his forehead, before turning back to the console. 
 
“I knew all that.” Steven laughed. “I’ve seen you before, Heartberry...I’ve seen you today.” He added with a grin 
 
“Exactly, you live with this now.” She gave off a flirtatious laugh, wrapping her left arm around his shoulder, caressing his chin with the same hand. “Get used to it.”
 
“How can I, when you always surprise me?”
 
She bit the right corner of her lip at his liquor like voice before giving him a gentle kiss, slipping his top lip in between hers, palms on his chest as she leaned more onto him,forcing the chair to lean back. With a light clipping sound and a loving giggle, she broke the kiss, looking at his astonished and love drunk grin.
“That seems like a ‘you’ problem.” She flipped his bottom lips, smiling playfully.
 
“Yeah?” He snaked his arms around her hips, kissing his teeth in tease. Moving in for a kiss.
 
“Yeah.”  She nodded, watching his lips get close. Just as it seems they were about to kiss, she put her finger stopping him, receiving a look of poppy-dog eyed disappointment. “Ey, don’t give me that look Mister, There’ll be plenty of that in the name of science.” The researcher reprimanded with a smile.
 
“I’m the boss though. Remember.”  A muffled Steven countered, licking her finger in hopes of  getting her to remove it
 
“Then act like it, Bisky” She smirked before pulling her finger away with a chuckle. “Started to feel a bit too nice.”  She looked at his pouty- turned up face and nearly swooned at how adorably bratty he was playing at. “Come on Mister, i’m excited to experiment with you. On an experiment you proposed,” she batted her eyes giving him a pleading look “please let's start it now.”
 
Steven looked at her from his left peripheral at those shiny black orbs of her, that squeezed at his heart and her hopefully pursed lips, He laughed at the sillines, “Ok Sci-Berry, let’s start.”
 
“Yeah! Let’s go.” 
 
Steven couldn’t help the smile on his face as he watched an excitable Connie bounce a bit rubbing her palm together, before reaching for the console again.
 
   “So, how many shapes are we doing, Bossman?”
 
“Just three, wanna start off small?”  
 
“Um-hmm….So i’m gonna log the results as we go, Ok?” She sat back on his lap, arms crossed over her mid. ”Floor is yours, Mister.”
 
Steven nodded before he stuck out his tongue. Applying his magic, it glowed a pink rose color for a moment, it’s form changing shape from his normal tongue, to certain more circular and flat. 
 
“Whoa..” Connie looked on in amazement as she watched the light die and saw the change. The majority of his tongue was spread and thinned out like a disk, but still very human like.She was a bit worried it wouldn’t fit in his mouth, or hers. “Try to close your mouth.”
 
Steven shrugged but followed her direction, placing his tongue in and closing his mouth.”Hmm?”
 
“You ok? How does it feel?”
 
“It’s a bit crowded, horizontally...Kind of afraid to close my teeth.”
 
“Do it.” She ordered gently watching as Steven hummed but followed her direction. She observed him moving his tongue around his jaw, trying to get a feel of his new appendage.”You’re adorable.”
 
“Hey, no flirting while i’m doing science.” He teased, poking her side and getting a giggle.
“Not a lot of wiggle room, but it hits the roof of the mouth better.” he added a bit muffled before clicking his tongue. “Oh, Clicks sound a bit more silky too.”
 
“Ok..ok, we can add those as factors to grade on.” She reached over to the console. “Comfort, mobility, ability.”  She commented with a smile.” So what would you grade your disc tongue?”
 
Steven moved his tongue around a bit more with his eyes close. “A six, four, and eight...Respectively.” He concluded with nodding his head. 
 
“Six, four, and eight. That’s important data.” Connie moved close to him,a coy and salacious leer her lips and eyes. “Try to keep them in mind.”
 
Steven was about to respond when Connie fully kissed him. Her tongue teasingly beckoning his own to wrestle, evoking a laugh from the researcher as he took her challenge.
 
‘Ok well this isn’t too different from the norm. Nice as always, Don’t really give a lot of room for some advance twist...Hmm hello!’  Connie gave out a surprising giggle as she felt his thin edge carefully tickle on the frenulum of her tongue underside. ‘THAT’S NEW! It feels kind of pleasant. A bit strange but I can get used to it. Still can’t really say it's too standout, it's fun to run my own on the top of his though.’  Connie  hummed as she broke the kiss with a smile, nodding decisively. “Hmm, not bad, not outstanding….We shared better kisses.”
 
"Kind of crowded, doesn't leave a lot of room for tongular gymnastics." Steven agreed before laughing at Connie's affronted glare.
 
" Tongular !?" 
 
"It refers to subjects pertaining to the tongue." 
 
Connie's nose flared in with playful annoyance and admiration. "You just made that word up..
 
" and It's definition." The hybrid interjected. "Sounds real though, Right? Something right out of Oxwood's dictionary."
 
"More like Kennster's." She joked before clapping her hands. "Ok, back on track. Grades, I'm leaning towards 5, 5 ,and 7."
 
 Seven for ability, huh?" He leered forward, amused.  "You must have loved it” He gave a rasp whisper in her ear, “when I was tickling your tongue's underside."
 
"YOU GAVE IT AN 8!" She pointed, marooned cheeked and pouty.
 
"But, I wasn't kissing you then.".
 
"Ok then?" She folded her arms. "What's your rating?"
 
"That doesn't matter."
 
Connie looked at him, arching her left brow. “What do you mean? This is YOUR experiment.”
 
“Yeees..” Steven inhaled, pressing his index and middle finger on his lips “But I have a proposition for you, Heart.”
 
Hearing the coyness in his voice, made her smirk in intrigue. “Oh? What’s on your mind? Mister.”
 
“I handle the singular grades.” He kissed her hand.  “You handle the dual grades.”
 
Connie's inquisitive nature was running high now,  it seemed like he was hiding something. "Why?"
 
Steven chuckled as he looked at her curious face. "It has something to do with the other reason for this experiment. I'm trying to come up with something."
 
"What is it?"
 
Steven clicked his teeth and waved his finger. " No can do Sci-Berry. You gotta figure that out yourself."
 
He felt his heart skip as he saw the excited glow in her eyes and the adorable simper on her lips at the thought of a mystery. He could already see her mind trying to find the reason why.
 
' Hmm? wants me to grade the kissing cause it has something to do with the second objective. The second objective… To develop  something... through kissing me? What can he...Oh...OH!' She looked at him shaking her head ' I don't know why I'm surprised? Silly, Sweet Mister.' before giving him a tender kiss. 
 
Steven looked surprised at first before returning it hand on her cheek.
 
They broke and Connie gave him a knowing grin. “Dual grades? That is what we’re gonna call these kiss ratings?” She leaned upon him a Cheshire grin on her face.
 
“Well, I can’t exactly kiss myself.”  
 
"You probably could. Wouldn't want you to cause you wouldn't want to kiss me anymore." 
 
"Oh perish the thought, your kisses are always off the chart."  Steven gasped dramatically. "Besides, I hear that Universe has a spiral tongue. Who  would want to kiss that?"
 
Connue smacked his chest. "Hey, no insulting my man's spiral tongue. It's a wonderful experience." 
 
"Really?" He spoke through smirking  lips and closed teeth.
 
Connie saw the tale-tell glow of gem magic behind her teeth, and clicked her tongue. 
"I believe that's what we're gonna to find out, along with other tongular possibilities." She saw his smirk grew a bit at the use of his word 
"Deflate your ego and bring on the spiral."
