[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, but you gotta know who's a badass for when the fight scenes start.

[He slips his hand down to find hers - threads their fingers together and squeezes.]

[Squeezes back, leaning in against him]

Aren't they all badasses? It's not called the Seven Scrubs.

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, but there's like levels of badassery.

[Counter-lean goes here.]

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

Seven of 'em?

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

It's like you've seen the movie before or something.

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

The beginning of it, sure. Can't vouce for what happens past a half-hour in or so.

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

We oughtta just start it half an hour later every time. You'll get it all eventually.

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

In theory, huh... I mean, you've seen it all, right? You can tell me what I need to know later.

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

Hey, the cliff notes version doesn't come with the fight scenes.

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

Are they good ones?

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

Duh.

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

Guess I'll have to stay up for 'em sometime.

[Reaches up to pull some more blankets around them; adjusts the pillows behind him to lie down further. Then she settles back beside him in a way that doesn't seem particularly conducive to staying up for anything, curled close and arm flopped over his middle.]

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

Not today, huh?

[But after a beat's hesitation, he's going to follow suit - settles down to a reclined posture that matches hers, more suited for sleeping than watching fight scenes.]

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

Mm...

[Scoots in, apparently finding a comfortable place to settle her head at the crook of his shoulder where she can feel his (too slow) pulse]

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

[After a moment, he reaches his hand up, careful, to stroke absently at her hair.]

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

[Voices a little sigh warm against his neck]

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He keeps it up, slow and steady, fingers working at the tangles when he hits them, easing them gently free.]

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

[Someday she should actually buy a comb but also. This is fine. She snuggles in a little more, curls her hand over his chest, over his heart]

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

[There's a pause - a few hesitant seconds - and then he leans in, just a little, to press a kiss to the top of her head.]

[Underneath her palm, the heartbeat's slow but steady. It seems to promise that he's here, and he's okay - and for now, at least, everything is all right.]
