Who: Winn Schott + you = awesome
Broadcast: yup!
Action: Tourist!
When: now!

[ the feed opens with a profile view of a sleeping winn. on his face, you can see an elaborate sharpie painted mustache (courtesy of opal) and from the ceiling right above him hangs a plastic flamingo in a coat and plastic sunglasses (courtesy of cisco).

to anyone who's been by to see him lately, it's a very familiar scene. but seconds into it something that hasn't happened in about two weeks begins to take place - movement. with a soft groan, winn reaches a sluggish hand to his face, shielding his eyes from the light. the hand then seems to decide that scratching above his upper lip is better use of its time and skills. slowly, his eyes blink open, struggling to adjust, to focus.

and then they do. on that flamingo.

he yelps, jumping up in bed, tearing the flamingo off its strings and throws it across the room, where he proceeds to stare at an off frame army of (four) flamingos. rubbing at his temples he mutters just loudly enough to be captured on film ] So Cisco's still here...

[ that seems to remind him of something, and with a sharp move his still sleepy mind can't seem to properly cope with, grabs at the communicator and misses. next attempt brings it into his hand and you finally get a close up of that glorious mustache.

he frowns into the camera ]

Of course it's rolling... [ his voice is raw, lips chapped, and he clears his throat in an attempt to bring back his usual volume ] Hi - Fleeters - if we're still calling ourselves that - Winn Schott here, back to the world of the conscious - if you recognize me check in and tell me how long I've been out - Kitty - you better still be here. [ because unless you call him within the next 10 seconds he's calling you as soon as he cuts this feed and if you're not there he will freak. he rubs at his painted mustache again, not quite realizing what's bothering him, and with a small tired smile fumbles to shut the broadcast off. ]

As you wish.

[ he smiles, kisses her again, and proceeds to order a bunch of kelp - and crustaceans because they sound a hell of a lot better. once the ordering's done, he settles next to her. ]

Hi. [ kiss. ]

Hi, you. I guess we probably don't have time for round three.

Mmhm...maybe a round 2.5.

[She laughs and kisses him, not really aiming for that .5.] Mmm...It's really good having you back. Being able to talk to you and hear you talk back. Being held. All the little things that make everything so much more worthwhile.

[ he smiles ]

Right back atcha.

I have a new theory about your world.

Yeah? Let's hear it -

Well, I've been assuming that your world, like mine, was about half women, half men. My new theory is that your world only has like eight women and that's how you manage to remain single there.

[ he laughs ]

Sorry, try again.

Mmmmmmm...okay. Twelve women, but most of them are on other continents.

No, that's not it.

Well, it's something like that. I'm sure. [Buries her face in against his neck, breathing him in. She's been running on the excitement of seeing him, but she's had so little solid sleep since he's been gone.]

[ he holds her protectively and kisses the top of her head. ]

It's not a lack of women. It's a lack of you.

I'm sorry it took me so long to find you. [Softly kissing his neck.]

Likewise.

[ he rubs her back. they wouldn't have been in this mess if they found each other sooner. ]

D'you wanna lie down? I'll wait for the food.

[She'd kind of love that. If it had always just been them. No complications for the Atroma to play out at them. Regular relationships in a regular world where time moves forward and dead people stay dead are hard enough. How are they supposed to deal with parallel lives and manipulated memories and all of the things they have to deal with on top of the classic boy meets girl?]

It I lay down I might fall asleep for days. [Soft laugh.]

[ he doesn't have a good answer to that. or any answer to that. all he knows is that he loves her so whatever comes, there is no option of not dealing with it because he can't lose her. ]

Don't you dare.

[ no more comas, he can't handle chekov without her, he can barely handle him with her. ]

[Life has never been easy. Why start now, right? Being with Winn makes it better at least.] Regular sleep. Promise. [Brushing a hand through his hair.]

Why don't you curl up, I'll bring you the food when it gets here.

Do I get to curl up on you?

After the food gets here, unless the delivery person's a phaser too.

That would be so weird and probably likely here. Way too many people out there sporting my powers. And it's especially bad when they have a bunch of extra powers already anyway. Mine is just one of their many powers.

It'll always be coolest on you.

[ kiss. ]

Oh my god, Winn. I'm already madly in love with you, what are you doing to me?

Adoring you. Shh just enjoy it.
