alwaysroomforhope | Suite 138

he grins and eyes her but keeps his mouth shut for a moment until he swallows a comment then he nods.

"You go first."

he grins ans sits, setting down the clean robe he picked up on the way there.

"You sure?" Steph asks, although she's already halfway to the bathroom. "I mean, I'm cold, but I'm used to it..."

Billy grins and pushes her in.

"Goooo, already."

Steph blows him a kiss and shuts the door behind her.

The bath here takes a ridiculously short time to fill - she's sure it's magic - and in a matter of moments she's soaking in hot, hot water, warming her up all the way through. It's not much longer before she emerges, wrapped in a fluffy towel, and beams at him.

"Bathroom's free!" she announces, " ... obviously. There's towels and stuff in there. Do you want anything special, like, special shampoo or anything? I'm just gonna get dressed, and then I can make a run down to Bar if you like."

He grins at her and shakes his head.

"I will be fine."

He does step clopse to her for a kiss and a quick paty on her towelled ass, then slips into the bathroom and shuts the door. It takes him awhile but he eventually emerges in his shorts and robe and grins.

Steph's curled up in the corner of the couch, head resting on the armrest, in pyjama pants and a singlet - and this time it's her turn to be sleeping, or at least dozing. She's all fresh and clean and warm, and the suite's heating works fine, and it's so comfortable there. At the click of the bathroom door she opens her eyes a crack. "Hey, you."

he grins and settles down at her side on the floor.

"Hey, yourself. How are you feeling?"

His syes take in every inch of her. She is so very beautiful.

"Nice and warm." She smiles at him. "You wanna watch a movie or something? Or head back outside? I'm good with anything."

he grins at her, leaning in for a kiss, one hand sneaking to her side.

"Watching a movie and hanging with you would be nice..."

"We never did watch all that much of Star Wars," Steph says, grinning, and slides bonelessly down to the floor where he's sitting. "We could try that again."

he grins at her.

"Hmmm, I wonder how well that will go this time?"

Hisneyes aprkle as he looks at her.

"We may never know how that movie ends..."

He laughs but leans in to kiss her again.

"That suits me just fine," Steph says. Eventually, anyway. "Juuuust fine."

He grins at hner ans snuggles her close for a moment.

"Hey you. I love you. I am so glad to get time to spend with you."

He grins at her lopsidedly.

She beams, and just holds him close.

"You - yes. You know I feel the same."

A kiss, and another, and then she wriggles free and reaches for the DVDs. "I asked Bar for the Star Wars movies, I thought I might want to catch up on them, but I haven't done so yet. First one again? We can start halfway through, about where we stopped paying attention, what'd'ya reckon."

"Sounds like a delightful plan to me, my dear sweet Steph. Sounds delightful."

He gooses her as she wriggles away and then grins as he watches her, settling in comfortably.

"You," Steph informs him, over her shoulder, putting the DVD in, "are a tease."

She crawls back over, and hops up on the couch. It's more comfortable than the floor, plus, she can reach Billy's hair from here to play with.

He consider this then nods.

"Yep."

He eyes her and chuckles, setting his head back where she can reach it, leaning back and running his hands behind him to see what he can reach as the movie starts up.

Bare legs, and she's suddenly glad her PJ pants are short almost to the point of indecency. Well - it would be indecency, for anyone whose hero didn't spend the first few years of his career running around in pixie boots and scaly undies, anyway. She shivers, and strokes his hair. It's soft and smooth and ...

"Oh, right. Movie." She picks up the remote instead, and flicks forward through the scenes. "Uh. Where were we up to?"

he grins quietly as his hands continue to stroke her legs.

"Ahm... I dont really recall... something around Alderaan?"

"Planet exploding. Right. I remember that bit." She flicks forwards to it, and then drops the remote into his lap. "You're in charge. That way I can just sit back and relax." And enjoy his hands.

he almost winces when the remote hits, but he just flashes her a grin.

"Okay, darlin."

he returns his hands to stroking her legs again, enjoying how they feel.

The movie starts againa nd he watches but he is still quite distracted. Her legs feel good. He does however watch close enough to grin as he watches the garbage disposal scene.

Steph sighs, and shifts forward on the couch so she can run her hands down his neck and over his shoulders. She's drawn in, gradually, to the action on the screen, and she giggles at their predicament. "Jumping into garbage chutes is never a good idea, and this is why!"

he laughs with her, loving that sound, and when she shifts forward, he reaches higher to touch her face softly, then goes back to watching.

He smiles as he watches the screen and laughs at their escape, then jumps at the ongoing battle. On way then the other then the other.

And he feels the lurch in his heart, watching Luke watch his master get kiled, and rememebrs Shazam dying...

Steph's off the couch and beside him at the same moment, movie forgotten. "Billy? What is it?"

he hodls her close to him for a long moment, not talking then looks up with a teary sm,ile.

""Just... reminded me of the Wizard and when he died... and how helpless I felt then."

He wipes his eyes and kises her.

"I am okay, just touched me, you know?"
