[He leaned down to kiss her. One hand sliding behind her shoulders, the other wrapping a delicate hand on the back of her neck. The kiss is dramatic and passionate.
It's Clark Gable to a tee.
But he pulls away and kisses her again, gently, soft and probing. He can't explain where it comes from but he holds himself against her before pulling her away.]
[She got easily swept away in that kiss. It was... charming. Strong and charming. She leaned into it gladly, but when he pulled away from that and kissed her again, softly, she hummed a soft sound, pleased, leaning up to kiss him back as well.]
[Feeling him pull away she kept her claws hooked on his belt though, not letting him walk away just yet]
Thanks for not letting me have such bad luck. [she teased]
[She actually appeared surprised as he said that. Because she didn't think she'd hear anything like that. Not with that look on his face. Honest looking.]
[She blushed, a bit about that. Cheeks red just a bit. Her hands tightened on his beltloops. She pressed her lips together in a line, looking up at him, then opened them to speak after some thought.]
I am glad I make you feel... safe. I thought it was always a one sided things. [she sleeps best when he's around and crashing over at her place]
I'm really trying. [He swallows] Trying to remember kid.
[He raised a hand to her hair and held it there.]
I wrote it down see?
[He reaches into his pocket, pulling out his notebook and showing her point blank. The notes are methodical but legible. Kara Lynn Palamas. Agent 33. Former Criminal partner. Reformed. Attacked Twice. Friend. More then?? Safety. I am always safe with Kara.]
[Ignoring the fact that for some reason 'kid' from him always made her smile, she did smile, softly, as she peeked at what he pulled out.]
[She took it from his hand to read, surprised to see all that.]
[Her heart twisted, that familiar old ping again. She found herself partly tuned, leaning a shoulder into him as she read 'I am always safe with Kara'. If she were the type to Awww out loud, she would have.]
[instead she touched the words with light fingers, tracing the lines.]
You're... trying to remember me? [she sounds surprised, though maybe she shouldn't be. It's one of her biggest 'fears' actually. That he'll one day forget her.]
[He'll forget, he'll forget, he'll forget.... just like he did Agent Johnson, as he calls her now. She thought at fast speed, chest hurting a moment. She started this with that stupid plant above the arch. She could see it though]
I think you're doing great so far. [she closed his note book and held it close as she leaned into his arm around her shoulders. Leaned into him more.]
Honestly, I've worked with them a while and I barely trust them. I just know the knife is going to twist at some point and it's all going to come crashing in on me.
If there's one thing I learned after I made the mistake I made.
[His voice is quiet.] It's that - you live in the moment and take care of you. And that...If you care about something it takes twice as much work as it should to keep it with you.
That's just me though. [He kept himself standing there before he rested his head on hers.
Almost domestic.]
What you need to take away from this Kara is that no matter what happens, if you're happy now it's good. And you should hold onto that. Don't worry about the later.
I could give two shits about SHIELD. I'm trying this because you inspired me to.
[looking up at him as he spoke she wasn't sure how she felt. She was pretty sure she fell asleep and hadn't woken up yet. That's all this was. Another fantasy.]
[As he rested his head to hers she closed her eyes, taking in the warmth and his words. Be happy in the moment huh? Licking her lips she paused, saying nothing yet. But carefully moved to put his note book back where she saw him take it from.]
[Then she reached both hands up to grab either side of his shirt, pulling him in and leaning up into a sharp kiss, pressing, a bit needy. Be happy now, huh? Fine, she'll roll with it. She held it, kissing him with passion. SHe just needed to do it.]
[He slides a hand down her back, kissing her as deep as he can manage before he presses himself into her shoulder and moves to take her in his arms.
It's been a long time since he's done this. Only when she's wounded. It's happened before, not that he remembers. There's a brief flicker Madame Masque but...]

Couldn't have that. Your bad luck would probably translate to me. I'm being re-purposed.
...I need you. [His gaze was human and sincere] I wouldn't...feel safe unless you were there.

What he does do is tangle his hand in her hair and start trailing questioning kisses down her neck. It's instinct, reflex. Muscle memory. Gentle.]
...I want this.
no subject
[As for Clark Gable? She had no problem with that. He had the strong arms for it anyhow. Talk about feeling safe.]
[The broken kiss lets her take in a proper breath, sucking in a smaller breath as he kissed down her neck, so gentle.]
You know I like to give you things you want.

Kara.
[He smiles]
I've wanted this for awhile.
no subject
[She'd take it now, but she didn't believe it.] I always figured you thought me too ugly to want... this.
[she smiled though, as she said it.]
no subject
It was something else. [He leans in to her] I just can't remember what it was.
no subject
[She leaned into him as well, tipping her head into his shoulder]
Just... remember me and no one else really matters.

Merry Christmas.
