Willow finds the confidence

Thankfully, you felt control recede from you, even if it was strange to give it up entirely. Even when you let Willow have control earlier in the day, you were still partially in control of something, but for now you were entirely a passenger in the body. You felt Willow's nerves rise up from being put on the spot, but even so, she nods a little as she takes charge.

"It's... it's me now, Lisa. And I'll prove it, remember last week when we went to that antique store and you picked up that ancient looking ceramic pot and then you dropped it and chipped it on one side and then you hid it behind some other pots and told me to tell no one?"

"...Oh come on, Willow! Now Jason knows! That's someone!" Lisa glanced briefly in your direction with a bit of a snarl, and you felt your body recoil a bit. "But, okay, I believe you. Next time you can just tell me about our last texts we sent to each other, but fine."

You felt your head nod, and your hands clasped together. "Well, uh... this is awkward. But, Chloe combined our bodies and minds specifically so I'd be able to borrow some of Jason's confidence, so... well. It's not perfect, I'm still getting used to it, it's like I can feel it, but--"

"I think you're rambling a little bit there, hon."

"...Right, well." You felt your hands fidget, waiting patiently as you watched this drama unfold. You would've just said something by now, but you would have been talking on someone else's behalf so it wouldn't really have had much meaning. "Okay, so... we've been friends a few years now. But I've sort of... developed feelings. For you. But also, for Jason, since you've been inviting me to things. So, it's really sort of been awkward, trying to figure things out, but at the moment, there's only two of us instead of three so I was wondering if, well, maybe..."

Lisa slammed the brakes, and the car screeched to a halt. Apparently, this is not the kind of revelation she was ready for while operating a moving vehicle. "Hold on. Hold. On. Feelings? Like... going on a date sort of feelings? Curling up in pajamas on the couch and watching a scary movie under a shared blanket sort of feelings? ...More?"

You felt pressure on your lower lip as Willow bit it. "I... yeah, all of that. And, yeah, m-more... I'd dreamed of a kiss from you every night for a few months now." A car behind the one you occupied honked a few times, and Lisa realized she needed to pull off to the side of the road, before turning to look you square in the eye.

"I see... hon, you should've said something earlier!"

Your head shook vigorously. "I couldn't! I didn't know how. I still don't really know how but Jason's stupid confidence is making me just keep talking! But also that's the thing, I was really conflicted when it was also Jason being there, but now... well, he and I are literally one body. So, what I was wondering is, if just for these three or so days, you wouldn't mind... giving me a try? Or us a try? Just, sharing in this new body I've got."

That was a little more forward than you were expecting. Not exactly part of the plan you had in mind either--you just thought Willow was going to profess her feelings for Lisa, not essentially ask your roommate to try dating Willow while she was combined with you. You wanted to object, but some mysterious **** held you back--Chloe, possibly, was making sure you didn't interfere. She was probably getting a kick out of the twisted web of relationships, in fact.

"But, that means technically I'd be dating you and Jason if we did that. He's really fine with all that? He's fine with you sharing a body so you can spend time with someone else?"

Willow nodded your head. "It'll work out just fine, I promise! It solves so much for me, honestly, that he's here and sharing in everything but also being able to be with you, too..."

Lisa sat in silence for a bit, before she started to drive again, now that the shock had subsided. "I'm still not sure I believe that, though I guess since he gets to spend time in that body too it's not like he won't be able to find ways to enjoy himself." Lisa smirked a little, glancing back at you, down to your chest and back up to your face. "Alright, then. Three days, we'll get a little closer than usual so you can enjoy the company of both me and Jason in this, well, unique way. After that, we need to sort this all out."

You felt yourself nod and smile. Willow seemed a little too confident that you'd be so willing to go along with the plan... but maybe it wasn't a misplaced confidence. Perhaps this would work out.

You saw Willow's apartment come into view, but it seemed like Lisa had one last question. "Don't you think it would've worked better for you if I had combined with Jason and then you'd be dating us both instead?"

Willow blushed at the thought, but shook her head. "Maybe that could be later, but I wouldn't have been able to muster up any sort of courage to ask you and him combined out. You'd probably be this amazing super-person when combined and I'd have been just even more nervous to say anything. Besides, I wasn't exactly able to contribute to that huddle earlier to suggest something like that..."

"Fair enough." Lisa pulled into a parking spot, and you hopped out of the car. By then, Willow had ceded control back to you in the body, she was apparently only willing to take charge for so many minutes of the day, eager to let you be in control once more.

"I'll be right back with some things, and then we'll, uh... I guess start this new venture that Willow unexpectedly signed me up for...!" you patted the top of the car as Lisa gave you a confused look, before you headed to Willow's apartment. As you gathered up some things of hers--clothes that would fit better than what you had on earlier, as well as just some other things like you were gearing up for a sleepover--you realized that maybe you could look forward to this new experiment with your merged body and Lisa. If you were going to be a sort of pilot for Willow's enjoyment, you might as well enjoy the situation too. A date is a date, and with this amazing body, you were sure to have a good time.
