[winn]

[ judging by the way he kisses back - he's a 1000% for this plan! ]

[passingthrough]

[This kiss isn't breaking until their lungs are burning okay? She's pushing in flush and kissing deeper and if she was any closer she'd be phasing inside of him.]

[winn]

[ it's the perfect proximity level, just the one before he gets uncomfortable.

he breaths hard when they do break apart, laughing a little in between gasps. ]

Really not encouraging me not to get you stuff -

[passingthrough]

That... [breathing hard] is a good point. [She kisses him again even without the breath to do it so it's brief.] I should work on that.

[winn]

Hmm...I think we can come up with better things to use that time on.

[ like this. more of this. ]

[passingthrough]

Oh, now I'm the one with a time management problem. [Absolutely more of this.]

[winn]

Hey I'm getting all of it done with time to spare for gifts -

[ or, as much of it as he can figure out, at least. it's not time that's standing in the way of his projects, it's knowledge. much more frustrating. ]

[passingthrough]

Suspicious. Are you sure you don't move at super speed?

[winn]

Alleged Secret Dance Ninjas have their ways - allegedly.

[passingthrough]

Allegedly, of course. [Another kiss. It's like a plague of kisses. And it is distracting her from pressing on this point that may need pressing.]

You're always so good to me. [And after some of that hurt she's had it means a lot to her. She's also afraid to come to expect it because how could he ever keep it up? But she loves that he cares so much about her and how she feels and what she wants.]

[winn]

[ best kind of plague. ]

Not good enough.

[ he practically whispers against her lips. he worries about it sometimes too - can he keep this up? he's getting busier every day. he has project he has to complete - important projects. he may not always have the time - or the supplies to surprise her with. but that doesn't mean he'll lower her standards. kitty deserves nothing short of the best, if one day he's not able to give it to her - then he doesn't deserve to be with her, simple as that. he knows how hurt she's been before, and he strives to every day prove himself worthy of the chance she took on him. ]

[passingthrough]

Hey, hey, no. [She pulls back enough to rest a hand against his face and look him in the eyes.] I'm telling you that you are. You're above and beyond. And not because you get me things or make me things. It's because the things you do get tell me that you're listening to me and paying attention and that you love me. But it's not the things. It's you. You do all that because of who you are.

I think you're one of the best men I've ever known, Winn Schott.

[winn]

[ there is definite pouting at this sudden distance, but it melts away into a smile by the time she's done.

he's always been the kind for gestures - they're easier much less scary ways to show how much he cares. but never have his gestures been this appreciated. it feels like she can see right through him and for once - that's not a terrifying thought because she likes what she sees. loves it even. loves him. ]

I do it because of who you are. [ he could never get tired of listening to her - she's kind, brilliant, funny. he can't imagine ever not loving her - how the entire fleet isn't head over heels is beyond him. ]

I think you're one of the best people I've ever met.

[ it sure is smitten look o'clock! ]

[passingthrough]

Well, then...we must both be pretty great, huh? [Because if she wants him to believe her then maybe she has to start believing him too. She presses back in to hug him tightly.]

[winn]

[ leading by example is a very good tactic. ]

We must.

[ he returns the hug warmly. ]

Or we really did inhale too many moon fumes, it's one or the other. [ it's been like a minute since he cracked a joke, it was too long. ]

[passingthrough]

Definitely something to consider. [She shifts to kiss his neck. She feels like she fell a little deeper in love with him today. Okay, maybe the presents are a good idea. You know what else does it though? Just talking to her really openly and honestly.]

[winn]

[ yeah, but the presents are easier.

besides, when she does things like that, his brain tends to go blank. ]

[passingthrough]

[What? Soft lips on sensitive skin make it hard to think? Who knew? But talking is good, Winn because then she gets a deeper connection with you and not just a greater understanding of how much you care about her.] Where did you get the pictures?

[winn]

[ but look how fun gaining a greater understanding of how much he cares about her is! talking involves a lot more tears and the not as fun type of exhaustion.

besides, he really needs to start working on soundproofing his room before he's throw off the ship. ]

Hmm -- the network.

[passingthrough]

You sounded really turned on by the network just now. [A little amused. And a little turned on by not the network.]

[winn]

I'm IT, I'm always a little turned on by networks.

[ what is he even saying right now? he has no idea. blank brain. blank. ]

[passingthrough]

That is such a weird thing to say. [Kiss.] I love you. [Mooooore kissing.]

[winn]

Anyone who can think with a woman like you kissing them, is an idiot. [ kiss ] I love you too. [ kissing and making his way back until his knees his the bed, pulling her along ]

[passingthrough]

[She laughs softly between kisses.] I like the way you think. [Just going to nudge him down on the bed and climb on top of him. She leans in to whisper in his ear.] Take everything else off, but leave the locket.

[winn]

[ his breath catches because - damn that's hot. and an order he's only too happy to obey. ]
