[winn]

[ he kisses back ] That's more like it -

[ she gets a little smile at that. he's hurt, he wants a little sympathy from his girlfriend, so sue him! ]

[passingthrough]

[She's here for sympathy. She just meant the mechanics of sexy times might be more painful than exciting for him right now. Not that they won't figure that out.] I'm always here for you. Even if I'm technically absent when you get into bar fights.

[winn]

That's okay, I think I'm good with just the one, wouldn't want it to get boring.

[passingthrough]

Wouldn't want that. [She shifts the ice she's holding on to another spot.] Do you want to be there when I punch Robb in a bar? [She's not going to punch Robb in a bar or anywhere else. She doesn't really blame anyone for this. Fights break out. Things happen.]

[winn]

[ he sighs a little as the ice touches a new patch of sensitive skin. ] Uhh - I would rather no one punch anyone, is that an option?

[passingthrough]

No one punch anyone... [Repeating as if it is in a foreign language and she really has to take this in.] Do those words even make sense in that order? [Is it clear she's teasing yet? Should she push it further?]

[winn]

[ he just gives her a look. ]

What does a guy have to do to get some sympathy around here? I'm going to Cisco's - [ pretending to get up ]

[passingthrough]

Oh, wow, you're trying to make me jealous now. You miss it. [She leans in for a kiss.]

[winn]

I am hurt to my core that you would think that - it also hurts right here - [ tapping his jaw. kiss it better? ]

[passingthrough]

Oh, right...right here? [Placing a soft kiss there almost as if she read the script. It's good to be on the same page with someone.] How's that?

[winn]

It hurts pretty bad, I think I need a double dose -

[ it's the best. he loves how in sync with people he is here, how in sync he is with her. ]

[passingthrough]

[It's a beautiful rhythm to be in and a tragic one to fall outside of especially when one person stops trying to help you be on the inside. Not that she's thinking about Reid right now. She's just thinking about this double dose of kissing his jaw needs.] Mmm...there? [Staying close and letting her warm breath fan out over the spot.]

[winn]

[ he's in enough pain without reid coming up, thanks. ]

Yup yeah - right there -

[passingthrough]

[No worries. Just the softest whisper of the past now.] What about here? [Shifting to kiss his neck.]

[winn]

[ if he has his way, eventually, reid will fade into legend, legend into myth, and he will pass out of all knowledge. ]

Mmmhm - yeah - quadruple dose area -

[passingthrough]

[Reid can't hurt you now, Winn. And you made it so he can't hurt Kitty anymore either.] Such a demanding area. [But here she goes. Is using teeth to graze over flesh normally prescribed for healing?]

[winn]

[ oh he can still hurt him plenty.

it absolutely should be, if you ask him. he moans happily and tips his head back to allow her easier access. ]

[passingthrough]

[She doesn't realize he's still worrying about that.]

[Although in this moment that's probably not an issue as she works her way down his neck more seductively than playfully.]

[winn]

[ he always worries about everything for extremely long amounts of time. the fact that he never met reid made the guy all the more horrifying and unreachable. she hasn't compared them out loud in months, but from time to time he still wonders if she does it in her head and keeps it to herself to spare his feelings (his feelings appreciate it if she does because he would be devastated. he doesn't want to know. let him live in ignorant bliss. he can live with being second choice, as long as it's not shoved in his face and the first choice never shows up again). ]

Kitty -- [ he coaxes her back up to meet his lips. ]

[passingthrough]

[Winn is first choice. Winn is first, second, third, fourth... well, he's the top ten of choices. She loved Reid. She wanted a life and a future with Reid. She was so ready for something better and meaningful in her life that she grabbed on to something that was maybe never quite right. Or maybe it was and the wardens messed it up and they couldn't fix it. She doesn't care anymore. Well, that's not exactly it. She cares, but she's not interested in reliving it or relitigating it. It was good. It went bad. And if she saw him again she would still be every bit as much in love with Winn and want him to be beside her for whatever the rest of her life holds. Some part of her may always be a little scarred by what happen. Some part of her will always care about the profiler. But she had to make room for Winn and she did. If a fleeting thought appears and and there she just lets it go again.]

I'd be a great nurse. [Kissing him deeply.]

[winn]

[ he's gotten much better at confidence; he trusts kitty, doesn't freak out when handsome men hang around her anymore. but someone she was in love with, that's different. and meeting chekov, hearing him mention reid as well it just reminds him how real and how strong it was and it's not a risk he wants to take.

he kisses her back just as deeply. ]

The best.

[passingthrough]

[If Reid—especially an earlier version not remembering everything bad—showed up, she can't say things wouldn't be hard, but leaving Winn wouldn't even be a question. She'd just want to be friends somehow and they'd have another awkward man in her life. It's not something she meant to have happen and certainly not something she wants to cause Winn stress or worry over. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't.]

Seriously though, are you up for this because you're kind of banged up.
