Of course. Do as I say, not as I do.

[ she gives him a kiss and uses the comms to hail them and explain the situation. safe to say the conversation is somewhat tense ]

[spacebro]

[He rubs her shoulders toward the end of the call and waits until it's over before speaking.] Everything okay?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she sighs ]

Nothing unexpected but at least they know I'm alive.

[spacebro]

I can tell you from first-hand experience that is a very, very important thing to know. [And now he is hugging her again because he couldn't be sure for awhile there. Even if he'd learned people don't stay dead here, it's not enough.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Same goes for you, you know.

I just couldn't not know.

[spacebro]

I'm sorry you went through that. I'm also sorry I went through that. They were the longest weeks.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she presses her face into his chest and laughs a bit to herself ]

Even marooned on a weird cannibal planet and you smell great to me.

[spacebro]

[He makes a softly amused sound.] High praise. You too. And you were trekking through jungle.

[takingkarabusiness]

I wonder what that says about us.

[spacebro]

That we both have colds and can't smell properly?

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, is that your theory? I'll consider it.

I think it's more likely we just enjoy being around each other.

[spacebro]

I don't need a theory for that one. I love being with you. Even in a jungle surrounded by man eaters.

[takingkarabusiness]

Good, because I love you.

[ her face is really close to his face ]

[spacebro]

[The best conversations happen when there's almost no room between you and the other person. That's totally normal and works for expressions of affection, discussing the grocery list and bickering.]

I love you too. [Pulling her in even closer because on second thought no actual space is needed for kissing and why would they be doing anything else?]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she puts her arms over his shoulders and melts into the kiss, the tension of the last little while starting to abate. he feels like home. ]

[spacebro]

[Kiss finally breaks because breathing is still a thing.] My room? Maybe we should go to my room?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ breathing is even more of a thing without powers, which is the worst. though... interesting possibilities if she doesn't have restrain herself... ]

Yes. Yes definitely your room.

[spacebro]

I like how alike we think. [Walking her backwards to his room while keeping his arms around her for the moment because letting go feels very wrong.]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she parrots this ]

It's why we work so well.

That and the super strength.

[spacebro]

I wouldn't mind some of that right now, but it's good to be on the same general strength level at least. [Actually, he'd be thrilled if she had her powers right now to be safer even if it meant she might break his nose.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, obviously being super strong would be preferable. But you know what I mean.

[spacebro]

I do. [Attempting the backwards walking, holding, kissing maneuver which is almost going to end in walking back into a wall.]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ most likely, yes. possibly with a big noise, which would make her laugh ]

[spacebro]

Hey. That hurt. [Pouting in mock offense as she laughs at him. It was fine. It didn't really hurt much.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Should I kiss it and make it better?
