[winn]

That was an excellent pun and it deserves your lips' undivided attention.

[She leans in to kiss him. She does love him more than the burger!] Like that?

[winn]

Exactly like that.

[ hey, he's a pretty nice looking piece of meat himself. ]

[passingthrough]

[Best meat around!] How did I get this lucky? [Smitten look is go.]

[winn]

You didn't, you made your own luck.

[ oh, he loves smitten, smitten is such a good look! he gives her another quick kiss for it. ]

[passingthrough]

[The best look. She learned it from watching him.] I feel like I found you by accident, but I did manage to not scare you away somehow so points to me.

[winn]

You never scared me. And I'm easily spooked.

[passingthrough]

[She reaches out, smoothing back his hair.] You should probably stop saying things that make me want to kiss you so you can eat your food while it's warm. [It means a lot to her that he isn't afraid of her though. Maybe an odd issue for most couples, but for her it's been a theme of life if not a theme of romance so it's always good to hear.]

[winn]

What can I say, even in a protein-gel based existence, your kisses are better than food.

[ but he'll shove another fry in his mouth because he really can't stop with those. he's a menace. ]

[passingthrough]

That should be engraved on something. [She picks up one of those fries as if to steal and offers to feed it to him.]

[winn]

[ he's absolutely going to eat it and smile. ]

I'll get on that.

[passingthrough]

[That earns a laugh.] Don't you dare. Do you know how hard it is to think of gifts for you when you're always outdoing yourself for me?

[winn]

You give me everything I ever wanted every day.

[ all he ever really wanted was someone to love him, to be someone's first choice and not a consolation prize. ]

[passingthrough]

Okay, now you've done it. [She slides her hand over his and entwines their fingers.] Now you have to eat with only one hand because this one is mine. [And maybe, just maybe, it will stop her from kissing him with everything she has.]

[winn]

[ he squeezes her hand and laughs ]

I think I'll manage.

[ look he means it. he doesn't need kitty to get him materialistic things. sure, they're awesome and fun and he loves them! but he already doesn't feel like he's keeping up with everything she gives him by simply loving him. ]

[passingthrough]

[She eats a little more of her meal with one hand before looking back to him when she's relatively sure she won't get all overwhelmed by this smitten feeling.] You know I feel the same, right? That you give me everything. Just you. [Loving her.]

[winn]

[ he eats a little more as well. ]

That's all I want. [ he smiles softly. she deserves everything, he wants to give her everything, to provide for all her needs. he feels like he has to make up for everything the other men in her life have done. but how do you make up for her being murdered? for tyki? for how badly reid broke her heart? he can't. he can't make it better, and he's hurt her too, and he just wants her to be happy. he'd do anything to make her happy. ]

[passingthrough]

[What other men? Okay, maybe he hasn't really erased them from her memories or who she is now, but she thinks about them less and less. She feels threatened and concerned about things that happened with them less and less too. Even his story about Mon-El didn't have her thinking about what it might mean for them in any sort of bad way this time. She's growing more confident in them as a couple. She squeezes that hand of his.]

That and these fries, right?

[winn]

[ it would make him so happy to know that. ]

You got your burger - [ he shoves another fry in his mouth and grins ]

[passingthrough]

[Hard to bring up things you aren't thinking about since you're not thinking about them!] It's really good. [Smiling back.] But I lied before. I might love you a little more than it.

[winn]

Trying to make me jealous?

[ it's funny, because she really doesn't have to try for that and they both know it. even though he's actually been...pretty jealousy free for a while now. ]

[passingthrough]

I have to try? [She smiles.] As if anyone or anything else even comes close to you. [Nuzzles in.]

[winn]

Evidently -

[ cuz he wasn't jealous of the burger~ he presses a kiss to her hair. ]

[passingthrough]

You really don't need to be. I mean, I know it isn't really a need thing, but...I'm very yours.

[winn]

I'm not. I mean...not lately, anyway.

[ not to say that he's not going to be jealous ever again but...he's feeling pretty secure in this relationship right now. all that sharing they've been doing...it's hard in the moment, but it helps a lot. ]
