[ he turns it over in his head for a moment. ]

I mean. I'm afraid of everyone's reaction, it kind of comes with the being afraid of yourself territory...and, you and Kara, you mean the world to me. So, letting you down would be so much worse.

[passingthrough]

And much harder. You know that right? Kind of invested here. [Gently touching the side of his face.]

[winn]

[ he gives her a little smile, one tinted with sadness. ]

You're not the only one with abandonment issues.

[ even if he now feels like his are illegitimate in comparison - she wants him to say how he feels and he promised he'd try. ]

[passingthrough]

[Gently.] I know. You hide things for the same reason I push everything out for display no matter how jarring.

[winn]

Combine us, and maybe you'll get a healthy coping mechanism.

[ he smiles, kissing her forehead. ]

[passingthrough]

[She smiles.] Don't work on any weird side projects to combine us, okay?

[winn]

[ scrunching everything, now there's a thought he doesn't need in his head. ]

No -- no definitely not. I love you just the way you are, thanks.

[passingthrough]

I love you too. All you and non-hybrid-y. [Smiling and leaning in for a kiss.]

[winn]

[ he kisses back ]

Definitely not into dating myself.

[passingthrough]

[A soft laugh.] Come on, let's do something fun. [See also, distracting but not sex. Because she figures he probably isn't in a good head space for that after Cisco but he could use some activity.]

[winn]

[ this right here - is why she's perfect for him. she gets an appreciative smile. ]

Watchu got in mind?

[passingthrough]

A game maybe? I don't have chess with me, but maybe we could find a deck of cards. [Someone must have some, right? Why isn't Remy on this ship?] Or we can invent one.

[winn]

I could teach you to Super StickFigure -

[passingthrough]

Teach me Super StickFigure, boyfriend.

[winn]

Best girlfriend.

[ she gets a kiss as he reaches for his communicator. gaming with her has been one of his fantasies ok. ]

Alright - well first you gotta pick your character - [ there's guy stickfigure and girl stickfigure. he hasn't spent a lot of time on the graphics, so it mostly looks like toilet signs with little red capes. ]

You click here to go forward, here to jump, you gotta collect the coins, not fall in the holes, and jump on or avoid the stickfigure monsters.

[ literally stick figures with an arrow pointed at them with the label 'monster'. ]

[passingthrough]

[Are there any other fantasies she should know about?] Right. Just like an actual battle. [She's kidding.] Is it set up for two players or do we need to just take turns?

[winn]

[ absolutely. ]

It'll be set up for multiple players as soon as I get it uploaded to the network, for now, we gotta take turns. Tell me how you like it, you're the first to play it besides me -

[ this is very exciting to him, can you tell? ]

[passingthrough]

[Such as...?]

Yeah? [She likes being the first, okay?] Then these are exciting times. Should there be a speech first?

[winn]

[ there's a character limit on these brackets. ]

-- probably! [ he laughs, but he's not very good at making those, that's more kara's job. ]

[passingthrough]

[So, whispering it into her ear later?]

Four score and now we celebrate a small step for man and fear itself. Play ball!

[winn]

[ she gets applause, and a mock wiping of the single tear ]

Beautiful.

[passingthrough]

No, you are. [Kiss.] So me first or should I watch you?

[winn]

You first - I'm dying to see how you like it.

[passingthrough]

Will there be an acceptable response other than "this is awesome?"

[winn]

Yes. I'll also take "this is super awesome".
