Suite 138

[alwaysroomforhope]

Even in April, the lake's cold, and so it's a slightly blue-lipped Steph who pushes open the Batflat door and gestures Billy inside. "You wanna go first in the bath, or me?"

Comments

[withamagicword]

He blinks.

"I have uh... never tested it before with someone I cared about... I honestly dont know. It isnt supposed to work except when we are concentrating on it... but I dont know, Steph."

He snuggles her as the movie starts.

"Hoth looks colddd."

[alwaysroomforhope]

"Oh."

She rests her head on his shoulder and watches the movie sideways like that, thinking anxiously.

"Well, you're sleeping with me tonight anyway, right? I mean, not sleeping with sleeping with, but, uh. You're staying. So I guess we'll find out. And if things leak you'll know, and you'll be able to turn it off or something, right?"

[withamagicword]

He hugs her close.

"There is no place I would rather be. And yes."

He gently kisses her.

"I wont let it hurt you."

[alwaysroomforhope]

"'s not me I'm worried about," Steph says, with a rueful grin. "Just - I don't always sleep so well. Don't wanna wake you up with my nightmares. That'd just be harsh."

She kisses him again, lightly, and snuggles into him, drawing her legs up in front of her. On the screen, the wampa roars, and she giggles.

[withamagicword]

He buts his head gently against hers.

"I remember the last one I heard... dont worry, Steph. I will do my best."

He watches the movie too, holding her and laughs.

When Han has to cut open the Tauntaun to keept hem warm, he grimaces.

"Dude... that is just... gross."

[alwaysroomforhope]

"You are so not wrong. Ew."

She snorts. "Remind me never to get caught in frozen tundras without a dead animal to keep me warm. Or, y'know. A live one. Or you. Only if I was with you we wouldn't get caught out there."

[withamagicword]

He laughs.

"Yup. "

he grins at her and smooches her before turning back to the screen. There is mayhem and evil things stalking towards the rebel base.

"Why do the evil things always stalk? Why cant they casually saunter?"

It is possible Billy is high on sugar and life.

[alwaysroomforhope]

Steph's just high on Billy.

"It destroys the look, don'chaknow. Being evil is all about style." She giggles.

[withamagicword]

Not yet she isnt, she hasnt mainlined him yet. wait.... nevermind

He snickers.

"Right. This is why I could never be evil. I would be sauntering and skipping all the time."

[alwaysroomforhope]

"Also, nobody would believe you. You're too nice to be evil."

[withamagicword]

"Hey!"

He pokes her.

"I could do evil! Really."

He looks grumpy for a moment, but there is Steph and he cant stay grumpy near Steph. So he kisses her and goes back to watching. Ther eis much fighter action and AttAtts falling and canons firing and ships escaping.

"Man, those Rebels really go through bases fast..."

[alwaysroomforhope]

"See, that's not the sign of a dark lord, one who worries about bases," Steph says, grinning. "Sign of a good man. Hey, where's Luke going?"

[withamagicword]

He sticks out a tongue but grins.

"Hmmm, must be a spirit quest thing... oh yeah... he gets to go to Captain Obscure!"

He giggles.

"Just watch, you''ll see!"

[alwaysroomforhope]

Steph watches, obediently.

An arm sneaks around his waist to tickle his ribs.



A real live Billy is just more interesting than a hypothetical space adventure. She can't help it.

[withamagicword]

he chuckles and pokes her.

"No tickling, you!"

Then he kisses her.

A real live Steph is way more interesting than a space adventure thingy. Especially when the effects are cheesy.

[alwaysroomforhope]

Steph yawns. "We could finish this tomorrow?" she suggests, sleepily. "I've got no plans. Unless you have to go back to the Rock."

[withamagicword]

"Not till a few days from now. And sleep is good."

He grins and kisses her, then yawns too.

He stands and pulls her up after him.

"Lead on, cutie..."

[alwaysroomforhope]

"My room's this one," Steph says, and gestures at the second door along. "Ed's is the other." She grins at him, and lets herself fall back onto the bed. "And just for the record, I totally don't mind if you don't behave yourself."

She scoots up and tucks her legs under the blanket.

[withamagicword]

He blushes and slips under the blanket.

"YOu really dont mind, huh? I'll remember that."

He winks at her and gently kisses her.

[alwaysroomforhope]

Steph beams, and snuggles into him. "You do," she says sleepily, eyes closing. "'n sleep well, 'kay?"

[withamagicword]

He grins and holds her close, kissing ehr and closing his eyes.

"Mmm, I will...night, Steph...."

His mind slowly drifts away as he goes boom, cuiddled with the woman he loves.
