Comments

[blueondeck]

[You probably shouldn't be sleeping there, but I wont wake you up just yet.

Coming to sit down next to you at the table]

[cookscleanskicksass]

[snooooore]

[blueondeck]

[. . . Nudge]

[cookscleanskicksass]

[snortflail]

[...genuine smile]

Joe!

[blueondeck]

Taking a nap?

[Not reprimanding or anything. Leaning on the table himself]

[cookscleanskicksass]

[embarrassedly scratching the back of my head; Navi escapes grumpily]

I didn't mean to. Just stayed up late.

[yawns]

[blueondeck]

What were you doing?

[watching Navi escape idly.]

[cookscleanskicksass]

[grins]

Working on our arsenal! I think it could be better. How are *you*, Joe?

[blueondeck]

. . .

[Take the silence for any kind of less than okay you wish. The look only solidifies it.]

[cookscleanskicksass]

[face falls, nestles over against you because personal space what personal space]

Is Marvelous being a jerk? Tell me.

[blueondeck]

[Far too use to it. Just letting you and shaking my head.]

There's just been a lot going on.

[cookscleanskicksass]

[you better be, mister, because I like your hugs even when you're just kind of putting up with me]

I'll kick him if you want me to.

Like what?

[blueondeck]

[But putting up with you means that I don't mind it and that is a big deal.]

Might be dangerous for you to do something like that. Don't you think?

[cookscleanskicksass]

[I know and I love you for it]

[smirking] Danger is my middle name?

...no?

Okay, maybe I won't kick him. But I'll kick *you* if you don't tell me what's wrong.

[blueondeck]

You'll really kick me?

[I almost want you to do it just to see.]

[cookscleanskicksass]

Maybe. Don't push your luck, Joe.


[my attempt at sounding dangerous is undercut by the way I'm resettling your arm around me for a better class of cuddle]

[blueondeck]

[Might as well put my other arm around you too since your being needy]

Figuring out what your doing is better than thinking about that.

[cookscleanskicksass]

[yay, I'd go back to sleep happily except for my worry about you]

Must be something bad, then. Please let me help?

[blueondeck]

You don't have to help. Don't get worked up.

[leans my head against yours for lack of anywhere else to put it.]

[cookscleanskicksass]

I'm not getting-!

...

[contented little sigh, reaches up to pat your cheek]

Well, if you think I can help, tell me, please. You always help me.

[blueondeck]

[looks down]

If it comes to that sort of point, I'll be sure to.

[cookscleanskicksass]

[worried but trying to just relax you by being relaxed]

Maybe I'll kick Marvelous anyway. I can always blame it on Gai.

[blueondeck]

You could, but he'd get you anyway.

We should move, sitting here isn't comfortable like this.

[cookscleanskicksass]

[wilts] Probably.

Okay! Where do you want to go?

[blueondeck]

The couch. I don't want to move too far.
