Six months in and you haven't figured that out yet?
[ He teases, the genuine smile and mirth in his eyes taking any bite out of the words. Like she isn't slightly the same, even if she's trying to hide it. He's seen her desk - the little trinkets tucked under glass to remind her of the places she's been, the people she knows. He likes it; the tiny map of her that only she knows how to read.
It's why he figured this wasn't too much of a risk for all that he's worried she'll think it's over the top. At least the idea is there, right?
But she's giving him that look he likes to think is reserved purely for him (fond, so impossibly fond) and he can't help but return it, stepping forward to wrap a hand around her waist to tug her up close, against him, so he can dip his head down and press a kiss against her lips.
Chaste, sweet, with maybe the promise of a little something more if they get around to it (he hopes they do). When he pulls back he motions toward the table and the food he's covered to keep warm ]
Some day I'll figure out how to cook [ he likely won't ] but in the meantime, there's this Captain I can usually bribe.
i'm not going to make you wait, she said. and then what happened. sorry ;-;
