The apartment, Cambridge, MA- Tuesday evening

[can_be_more]

The flipside of getting a chance to go out and help save a friend and hurt some things in the process was that afterwards, it was back to normal things, like filling out job applications in front of the TV and feeling uncomfortable in the current style of clothes. There might have been a little part of her that wondered if it would be wrong to wear a pulse pistol around the apartment, just for the night.

"I just like it," he said and laughed. "You've got cute toes, I can't help it."

[can_be_more]

"That is the strangest thing I've ever heard you call cute."

"I like all of you, babe," he said and smiled at her. "Every last part of you."

[can_be_more]

"That's sweet," she said, still not thinking she was good at that word. "But they're toes."

"I really don't care," he said and patted his shin. "I like them."

[can_be_more]

She poked his leg with one toe, for no reason.

He tickled the bottom of her foot.

[can_be_more]

Her foot twitched, and she poked him again.

He tickled her foot, longer this time.

[can_be_more]

"I will hurt you," she said automatically, poking him with her other foot.

"Oooh, hurt me, babe," he teased and tickled her again.

[can_be_more]

"Oh, so you think it'll be the good kind of hurt." It probably would be, sure.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I haven't done anything wrong so, yes, I think it'd be the good kind of hurt."

[can_be_more]

"You have, however, been tickling me."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Which is fun and non harmful," he pointed out.

[can_be_more]

"Says you," she teased.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"And I'm always right," he said, calling her bluff.

[can_be_more]

She almost laughed. "You are not."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Am too," he said and pinched the top of her foot.

[can_be_more]

For that she did kick him in the thigh with her heel.

"Ow!" He frowned at her. "No violence."

[can_be_more]

"It's me," she reminded him, thinking that said everything.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"No violence," he chided and frowned at her. "Or no more massage."

[can_be_more]

She sighed like this was the hardest thing ever, but said, "No violence. For now."

"Thank you," he said and patted her legs. "I appreciate being spared your violent tendencies."
