[eiremagic]

Hey-

[She reaches for his hands, to grip them]

You know I'd let you beat up anyone who hurt me, yeah?

[never_very_good]

[He folds his hands around hers obligingly, half a grin twitching his lip.]

You're good to me like that.

[eiremagic]

Do you want me to get you to protect me?

[She tightens her hands and leans up to kiss him]

[never_very_good]

[He kisses her before answering, taking his time.]

Nah. I like that you can take care of yourself. Just don't like when you have to.

[eiremagic]

You're the best thing that's ever happened to me, boyo.

[She nudges a bit closer to him.]

[never_very_good]

[He kisses her again, because Frankie is terrible with words and that seems like the best way to return the sentiment. There's a certain desperation to it, not lust but devotion. He drops her hands to settle his arms around her waist instead.]

[eiremagic]

[She kisses him, kisses him again.]

Frankie-

[She presses against him. He's everything to her. The whole world.]

[never_very_good]

[He would destroy anyone who hurt her, out of utter selfishness.]

I love you, you know that?

[She'd better, but maybe a reminder doesn't hurt.]

[eiremagic]

[She smiles, teeth and all]

I love you, too.

[never_very_good]

[He smiles back, and pulls her against him.

See, this is the problem visiting at work, he doesn't actually want to go back to what he was doing.]

[eiremagic]

[She just settles against him]

Close the bloody bar, cara.

[never_very_good]

Gonna get a shit reputation if I throw people out whenever I feel like it.

[But he's not actually saying no. It's not fair, the things she does to him. Fuck, he's grateful.]

[eiremagic]

Who gives a shit? It's three pm and it's a vampire bar.

[She tugs his hands. Come on.]

[never_very_good]

[He makes an odd, amused little noise that isn't quite a laugh. Eden, if you ever use your powers for evil... well, it won't affect much, but the Raven regulars will hate you.]

Wait here.

[It's a feat of willpower that lets him head back out to the floor to politely kick the handful of stragglers out.]

[eiremagic]

[She waits, and when he comes back, she reaches for his hand.]

[never_very_good]

Lucky I don't do this to you.

[eiremagic]

Why, do you think I would kick up a fuss?

[never_very_good]

Think it'd cause more trouble if you took off early, that's all.

[eiremagic]

Well, I don't have a boss.

[never_very_good]

Only reason I get away with this.

[He leans in to kiss her.]

[eiremagic]

Come on, when was the last time I took you home early for sex on the kitchen counter?

[never_very_good]

Never often enough.

[But he tugs idly at the hem of her shirt. His shirt, rather. The kitchen is really far away, just saying.]

[eiremagic]

Should I do it more?

Don't know how much longer we'll have.

[never_very_good]

[He tries not to falter at that, but.]

Never have known.

[eiremagic]

No, I think-

[She pauses.]

Nevermind.
