Last time it was a curse. This time, it's just us.

[It was perfect, too. Just them. No curses. Nothing to worry about. Lips pressed against his shoulder and neck more certainly, reassuring herself and hopefully him that they were each others and no Jerry was going to get in the way of that.

Clothes were off, the shower was on and she was fine to lose herself in every touch and kiss and sound the two of them made, feeling more and more at ease and like herself with every second, holding onto each other in a way that made it obvious that they weren't going to let go of each other any time soon.

Charlie and Ed tumbled into bed a while later, no clue how long they'd been in the shower. Nor did Charlie care. She was just happy to have him at her side, despite the lack of clothes. It was just the blanket and pillows and them and Charlie, lying on her stomach with her arms under her chest, was smiling.]

Do I smell better now?

[he leaned in to sniff, more for show than because he needed to, then settled back down next to her, on his back so he could watch her more easily, trailing fingers along her arm to keep in contact, as if he was worried he'd lose her if he didn't.]

Mm. Much. [a pause] I should've warned you he might try something.

[he couldn't have known, not really, it wasn't as if he'd had Brewster's experiences with the guy to draw on, but even so.]

No warning necessary, Ed. I was expecting it.

[It's really all she expects of people, most of the time. And it was the first thought in her mind when she heard about Jerry. She just hadn't expected it so soon. Maybe she should have. She shifted closer, long enough to kiss his forehead before settling herself on his chest.]

I think I'm calling out of work tomorrow. I need a day off from the shop and the school. And more time with you, clearly.

Don't do it on account of me. I'm fine.

[mostly, anyway. And it's not like he won't follow or try to whenever she leaves anyway. Not for the immediate future]

Who said I was doing it for you? [She was. They both know it.] I just...kind of want it to just be us. I feel like I need that after yesterday.

[he wraps an arm around her, tucking her head under his chin]

Oh, I'm not complaining. I'm cool with that. I'm just saying.

[She's fine with this, relaxing against him almost fully. Her fingers drift up and down his skin and with the way her face is pressed against his neck, he probably feels the occasional flutter of eyelashes as she blinks. The blinks are slowing down a bit at a time but she's not ready to sleep.]

Okay, good. So it's settled. Minus some errands I have to run, which I will run while the sun is up and be back well before it's down [Said hastily before he can protest.] I'm pretty much yours for the entire day.

[ he shivers slightly under her fingertips, letting out a huff of air, and he'd complain about her game plan but she's being distracting. Soothing. And instead he just kind of rumbles disapprovingly low in his chest as he tightens his grip on her, immediately possessive when she mentions leaving, no matter that he won't be able to follow.]

What errands?

I need groceries. Petrichor and Hypnos are almost out of food and I have to take Hypnos to the vet. [She'd usually flail, pull away and frown at such a display but after the day they just had? She burrows into his arms, kissing his neck softly and repeatedly. She's still there, Ed. And nothings going to happen to her any time soon. She nuzzles the underside of his chin, kissing him a few more times before propping herself up to look at him, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.]

I'll be fine. I'll take someone with me, if you want me to. Bucky or Steve or even see if Buffy is available.

[ffff just...do not stop that, McGee. Please. He arches his neck at the attention to give her better access and hums approvingly, and when he regards her when she speaks his own response sounds...distracted. You might have found his weakness, McGee. Congratulations.]

It'll be daylight, you shouldn't need Buffy.

And you shouldn't worry, since it'll be daylight. [What's that? Don't stop? Okay. No stopping. More kissing and nuzzling and nibbling, teasing with teeth and lips to get him to relax.] I'll come right back when I'm done. You'll wake up with me right here. That works, right?

Ngh, yeah, sure.

[he would quite frankly say anything right now; he's trying to stay sharp, on point, and failing miserably. His arm eases its death grip and he starts tracing patterns instead. Consider him relaxed.]

Stay out of the tunnels; he doesn't need to sleep as much.

[Score one for Charlie. She sits up again, planting another kiss on his forehead before looking at him with worry of her own.] When was the last time you ate?

[he leans up to nuzzle her neck, bracing with an arm]

Before I left to find you. I'll get something in a minute, it's fine.

...unless you want to donate to the cause?

[a smirk, and he's hopeful but he doubts she's going to say yes. MAYBE ONE DAY.]

[Donate to the...That just gets a Look from Charlie, not as annoyed as she could be. Really, more amused than annoyed before she tilts her head to the bedroom door.]

Go eat. I will still be here when you get back.

[he huffs against her skin, disappointed, but he's not exactly surprised.]

Bitch.

[not that hes even remotely serious; it's got an affectionate tone to it. He nips gently, more tease than anything serious, then slips out of bed, scrounging around for at least a pair of boxers before padding off to raid the fridge.

He comes back a few minutes later, steaming mug in hand, and settles back next to her before working his way through the contents; he gulped the first one down quickly, but he figures the rest of it he can savour a little. Sorry, McGee, he's REALLY loathe to leave you unattended for long right now.]

Jerk. [Okay, somehow these pass as terms of endearment for the two. Whatever. It makes sense, actually. In the time it took for him to get up and get his food, Charlie's managed to find one of his shirts and her underwear.

She's curled up under the blankets again, eyes half open. Clearly very comfortable with where she is and when he returns, she manages a smile.

She's not going to say much, Ed. She has minutes at most before she falls asleep.]

Hey you.

[slurp slurp, and he reaches out to rest a hand on her thigh, lips twitching into a smile as well. Feel free to sleep, McGee, he's not going anywhere. Not right now anyway.]

Hi, gorgeous. [She speaks barely above a whisper now, eyes drifting open and shut. She wants to stay awake, enjoy being near him but sleep is winning for once and her breathing slows some. One arm reaches out, slipping around him and relaxing. He could get up if he wanted to, not that she'd want him to go anywhere.

With as quickly as she's falling asleep, though, and how deeply, it's likely she wouldn't notice him getting up. She mumbles something that sounds a lot like 'happy you came back to me' before she's fully asleep, lips parted slightly and her hair obscuring her face.]
