[It’s so much easier for her to sleep with him there. She’s gotten used to him, to his presence in her bed, and when he’s not there (even though it’s incredibly rare for that to happen, anymore), sleep is a lot harder to find. But with the rain pattering down on the roof and his arms around her, the warmth of his presence at her back as they cuddle, she drifts off to sleep easily.
What’s more, it’s peaceful, free of nightmares and the memories of all that’s happened since arriving in Medietas.
Between the sun and his stirring behind her she’s drawn towards wakefulness, crinkling her nose and squinting at the bright light, making a sleepily irritated little noise.] ’sco… [She tugs the blankets up and uses them to hide from the offending sunlight.] G’back to sleep. Too early…
[She twists in his embrace, so she’s facing him, curling closer and tucking her head against his shoulder. Blankets are good for hiding from the sun but Cisco is better. She makes a contented, happy little humming noise, her arm sliding around him.] I’d like that.
[He smiles, small and sleepy and maybe a little lopsided.] It sounds nice. [He nods a bit, pressing a kiss to her forehead.] Somehow, I don't think we'd be allowed.
[She smiles a sleepy, fond little smile at the press of his lips to her forehead. It’s the little things, the little gestures like sleepy forehead kisses on a sunny morning that get to her more than anything. She snuggles closer.] Blankets. They’ll never find us.
Is that all I've needed to get out of things all this time? I feel robbed of so many recluse days of yore that I was forced to socialize during. [He grins and steals a quick kiss from her.]
[She makes a soft humming noise in the affirmative.] Mmhm. It’s a very secret weapon. And now you will never be forced to socialise again. Certainly not if I can keep you here with me instead. [Her heart flutters in her chest and her stomach lurches giddily as he steals a quick kiss from her. How is he so able to do that to her? Happy, so very, very happy, she presses a kiss to the corner of his jaw and then another against his lips.]
Good. [He mumbles through a smile as he tips his head and kisses her softly.] I'd much rather spend my time here. With you.
[He smiles again as she kisses his jaw and finds her way to his lips again. He worries still sometimes, that maybe he shouldn't let this happen, that he, being the older one in the situation, should stop it in it's tracks.... and then she makes one of those happy, content little noises and it makes his stomach flip and he can't imagine trading that for anything.]
[Those words, those simple little words, take her breath away. She’s never been... that, to someone. So important. Not like this. And yet here he is. Telling her that. He’d rather spend his time here. With her.] Good. I... good.
Because I’d rather be here with you, too.
[She nuzzles him, snuggling closer and sighing happily.]
[Okay, so she’s just going to attempt to hide how much she’s blushing by ducking her head a little and ignoring it entirely. Who’s blushing? Her? Nope you’re totally mistaken. But the smile that’s on her face when he tucks her hair behind her ear is soft and incredibly fond.]
Hey. [He tries to tilt her chin up with a gentle hand, smiling softly.] No hiding. It's true. [He knows how hard it can be to accept compliments sometimes, though, which is why his voice is soft and he's trying to gently coax her out of hiding.]
[He makes her speechless so easily, sometimes. Just takes her breath away. She feels so important, with him. She feels like she is amazing. She has no words so she goes with actions instead, ducking forward and kissing him, putting everything she doesn’t have the words to say into that little gesture.]
So are you. You are incredible, Cisco.
[The words she’s finally found are murmured against his lips.]
