So this is why you wanted to date me. So I would save you from watery graves.

[winn]

Nah, that's what I befriended Mon-El for.

[passingthrough]

Should I expect him to show up soon?

[winn]

He does have good timing...

[passingthrough]

Well, he's cute, but I'm not sure this bath is built for three.

[winn]

Guess you're just gonna have to keep me alive yourself.

[passingthrough]

Happily. [Kissing him lovingly.] This is not a bad stop at all. [It gave them a pretty perfect evening.]

[winn]

No. [ he agrees. would've come in real handy in his vegetarian days. ] Even the bad ones aren't that bad with you around.

[passingthrough]

Oh, that was a good line. Very smooth. [Nuzzling.] Does it sound less sincere if I tack on a "I feel the same" now?

[winn]

You always steal my lines, why stop now?

[ he shrugs, what. if he keeps being purely romantic how is he supposed to hold off on proposing? ]

[passingthrough]

I can't help it if you have the best, most stealable lines. What's a girl to do?

[winn]

[ he strokes her cheek gently. ]

This is why you wanted to date me, isn't it. So what's mine would be yours.

[passingthrough]

You found me out. I still get to keep you, right? [Forever and ever?]

[winn]

[ he shrugs ]

Eh, I've dated people for worse reasons.

[passingthrough]

[She laughs and very lightly punches him in the arm before kissing him.] I'm going to be good for you, Winn Schott. I don't know how, but I will. I've never wanted anything more.

[winn]

You already are, Kitty. [ he smiles and kisses her gently ] I didn't used to think I could hope for more than just...someone who was okay with being with me. Being with you is the first time I really felt like I can have standards too, like what I want and what I need matters.

[passingthrough]

Well, then I want you to feel like you can always raise that bar higher, and I want to always be exceeding it.

[She hasn't had low standards really. But she did grab on to whatever came her way so quickly and so tightly. It's not hard to see why when so much of her life has been marked by loss. She can't even claim Winn doesn't fit that cycle, although she did take a little longer to adjust than she has in the past because she wasn't ready for something serious. But he is still so right for her. They have fun together. They can challenge each other intellectually. He isn't without his own pain and darkness in his past, so it feels like they can understand each other. They are definitely compatible in the bedroom (or bathroom or random art gallery etc.) And maybe most importantly they love each other and they are both committed to making it work.]

[winn]

[ his were definitely pretty low; bad for him, ashamed of him, he would take anything to just...not be alone, even for a little while. but kitty has changed all that, now he knows what it's like to be loved and respected and he could never go back. he doesn't want to. ]

That's a very competitive approach to relationshiping.

[passingthrough]

Okay, maybe, but I'm only competing with myself. Not you. [Kiss.]

[winn]

No one can compete with me at relationshipping, it's unfair. I got you, I win by default.

[passingthrough]

[Nuzzling affectionately.] I could totally win if I wanted to win.

[winn]

That would be cruel, though - [ breaking up with him just to win, don't do that ]

[passingthrough]

I don't know what kind of win you're assuming I'd go for, but let's just assume you're wrong and I'm awesome. [She would never.]

[winn]

Your awesomeness is not an assumption, it's proven fact.

[passingthrough]

Yeah? [Snuggle. Snuggle.] Has anyone written a scientific paper about it yet?
