Ficlet: Girl Stuff (Eureka, Zoe, Jo)
Title: Girl Stuff
Fandom: Eureka
Character: Zoe (and Jo)
Rating: PG
Summary: Zoe takes the opportunity to ask some questions. 230 words. For mmom.
Jo has a nice house. It's not S.A.R.A.H. nice, but even that's kind of nice in its own way. Nobody looking over her shoulder, judging her every move. But Jo has a great entertainment center and a really comfortable couch, and with take-out from Café Diem (with double milkshakes for both of them), Zoe's about as comfortable as she can get.
"Action or chick-flick?" Jo asks as she bounces onto the couch and passes over the extra napkins.
"Chick-flick." Zoe bites her lip, and then decides to go for it. "Can I ask you a question? A, um, grown-up question?"
Jo tucks her foot under her thigh so that she's facing Zoe. "Of course you can," she says, her face open and serious.
"Do you, um, ever touch yourself? You know, masturbate? Which, okay, that's a really personal question and I so don't need to know the details but I'm just not sure-- I mean, I can research on the internet and stuff but..." Zoe runs down as Jo's soft smile penetrates. "What?"
"It's okay, Zoe. You can totally ask me whatever you want to know about."
"Oh." Zoe looks down at her nails. This was a lot easier when she rehearsed it in her head. "Um."
Jo pats her on the knee, then stands up. "Tell you what. Why don't I grab the You!reka catalog, and we'll start from there."
