Who: Gracie and Logan
Where: DiNozzo house, basement bedroom.
When: Before this, but after thisthis.
What: The first kiss
Warning: Just an innocent kiss, nothing to be seen here people. Move it along.

Gracie was nervous. And she couldn't say that she had ever had butterflies about anything, especially seeing Logan. But there they were. So she resorted to the one thing she did when she felt ill at ease. Not that she didn't want him to come. She did. Almost desperately. Not that she'd admit to it.

So her radio was on, it was up loud enough that if he slipped in and her back was to the window she'd miss it, and she was singing along with the song, P!nk's So what. Just something random that popped up, as she danced around getting ready.

She did't doubt he'd tell her that the short shorts were too short, or that there wasn't enough fabric in the top she wore. It was just too cold. He would, wouldn't he? Her feet were bare but the spiked heels sat on the bench at the end of her bed, so she wouldn't twist an ankle while she pranced around getting ready.

It didn't take him long to get to her place after she sent that last message. He could hear the music filtering up to the top of the ladder that led down to her window. Climbing down it was done with the ease of years of practice. He knew she was dancing around the room before he even got there.

Climbing in through the open window, hands shoved in his front pockets as he watched her. The outward appearance of calm, he was warring with his nerves on the inside. Was this the best thing to do? Too late to fight it now.

Without even having to move his hands or look at it, he had the music paused.

Grace stopped dead when the music paused. Spinning on the ball of her foot she kinda just... stared for a minute...

Before she caught herself and shook her head, there was no reason to be nervous. She offered a bright smile, that might have been a little too wide, and a little to big. It didn't do much to cover up how her stomach was fluttering. Even if he couldn't tell.

"I'm sorry I'm trying to control it... I just..." She shrugged lamely, her hands clapping against the bare part of her thighs. How long had she dreamed of this?

Deep breath. In... And out... And she was better, "Hi." She offered lamely.

He just arched an eyebrow, not interrupting her babbling. He was pretty used to it by now, really.

"Nice shorts," he offered, the corner of his mouth twitching up in a smile.

Pushing off the window sill he took a few steps in to the now so familiar room, noting the shoes sitting on the bench at the end of the bed. She was obviously out to impress Tyler, tonight. He told himself it didn't bother him. This was what they'd agreed on, after all.

"Hi," he replied when he was in front of her.

"They're cute aren't they?" She actually liked the whole outfit. Mostly because she knew she looked damn good. Or at least it made her feel like she looked damn good. She replied once he was standing right in front of her.

She wasn't just trying to impress Tyler, she was out for evil. More than sure she could make him go weak in the knees. Some how. If this outfit didn't do it she'd swear he liked boys and introduce him to Dimitri.

But she knew better than mention either Bea, or Ty. If her nerves didn't kill the mood then she knew that would. "It was either these or a short plaid skirt with suspenders." With fishnets. Okay... She was still nervous.

	"Yeah...I'm liking the shorts," he answered. Not that the skirt wouldn't be good and all, but...no. Somehow he liked the idea of her in the shorts better. "So. One kiss and then I send you on your merry way. A lamb for the lion, right?" Joking was easier than admitting he was nervous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She had to wonder why he liked the shorts. But now wasn't the time to ask, best file it away for later. "Yep. Just between you, me and the walls." She'd already made sure no one was in the theater, not that the soundproofing would fail for one little kiss... But it was just that much less likely that someone would walk in.

Bouncing on the balls of her feet, she caught her lower lip between her teeth... Just for a moment. She hated feeling like she was just going to flutter away. So she closed the gap and her arms rose to rest over his shoulders. She knew that much.

"I can't ever say that you've ever made me so nervous." She admitted the obvious.

"Likewise." That went without question. Being around Gracey was always one of the most comfortable places to be. Where he could be himself, and not have to worry about what anyone was thinking.

His hands rose, one brushing back a stray strand of hair from her face. And then he decided if he didn't do this, they'd be standing here all day and someone really would walk in.

Hands resting either side of her face he leaned down, capturing her lips with his.

Just like that the nerves were gone. That was all it took, and she melted against him. Her hands moving to rest around his wrists.

She released the softest of sighs, before she kissed him back. Giving all she had, every ounce of love she had ever felt for him. He wouldn't be able to deny what she'd said, if he had the inkling too.

She knew she couldn't be a horrible kisser, she'd practiced on her hand enough to know not to be too moist, yet not to be too dry.

He'd kissed Bea before now, sure. Plenty of times. This felt more than just a bit different. And not because she was better. In truth he wasn't actually comparing. It was simply that this was Gracie.

Even if she'd been trying to hide it he couldn't have missed her feelings in that moment. He knew it was, in part, dishonest of them. But it felt right. Not as though they were lying to anyone. They had told each other how they felt, that they were happy apart. But he felt right in being the first person she kissed. It was how it was meant to be.

It was just a kiss, but in ways it was healing. The damage that had been done weeks ago. Any strange rift there might have been due to the slight jealousy of Bea. And while the other couldn't be undone, this made it feel so... inconsequential. Like a bead of water on a ducks back.

And while it had felt slightly wrong at first, in thought, it didn't now. There was nothing wrong in this kiss. This had been how it was meant to be. It didn't matter that after, they would go back their separate directions. Because that was after. And only now mattered.

	Eventually he pulled back, though not far, his hands staying resting against her face, his gaze on hers. "Don't know what all the fuss was about, really," he said flippantly, though his expression showed that he wasn't really making light of the situation. His thumb stroked her cheek beneath it.

Even when he pulled back, it took her a moment to open her eyes. It wasn't until he spoke. His expression is what brightened her smile. "I know girls put so much weight on that first kiss. But if it's with just the right person... I guess it can right wrongs, and stop traffic."

It wasn't till that moment that she'd noticed her leg had lifted. Glancing back before she set it back down. "Well. I guess that means it was a damn good kiss, too." After all wasn't that how they were rated in movies? Especially the old ones?

	"I think stopping traffic might be a slight exaggeration," he said with an amused smile as he lowered his hands. He couldn't help but grin at the little leg lift. "If only we could tell someone, your Dad would think that was awesome." His girl reenacting his favourite form of art. "So you can have a good time with Tyler now? No hard feelings?"

She almost lamented that he took his hands down. Her fingers loosed from his wrists but didn't leave his arm all together. "It's not an exaggeration. There's that picture of the sailor and unknown nurse. That stopped traffic." She actually had that Time Life poster pinned up in her closet.

"I probably can't even write it down in my diary... Tony would read it." She pouted, though it was put on. And it only lasted seconds, before her smile broke through anyway. "I guess. You sure we shouldn't try another just to be sure?" She was mostly teasing.

	He was actually pretty glad she didn't relinquish her hold altogether. Not right away, anyway. "Makes it even more of a secret. I see no problem with that." He grinned when she asked about another try. "I think I'll leave that entirely up to you, Gracey." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He did have a point. Added to the romanticism of it all. Catching her lower lip between her lip she eased her fingers up along his arms until they reached his shoulders. "If it's up to me, and it's a super secret. I think we owe ourselves at least one more go." Who knew when she'd get another shot?

Raising on her toes, she brushed his lips with her own briefly before capturing them entirely.

	He smiled in to the kiss, hand sliding this time around to the back of her head, in the silky soft strands of her hair. This time, when the kiss ended, he let his forehead come to rest against hers. "So about that never say never," he joked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	daddys_princess 2011-12-15 12:06 pm UTC (link)
	She let her eyes linger shut even as he brought his forehead against her own. "What about it?" She whispered. Not yet wanting to give up the sensation of kissing him, even for the second time. She had to laugh at herself. She was being silly. She knew asking for a third would be pushing it. But her cheeks ached, and she had no want to stop smiling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think you just made me a believer in that one," he said lightly. Though it was definitely true. He ran his hands down her arms, to take her hands in his. "I guess this might be considered wrong, but it doesn't feel it. And I'm glad we shared it. But now, you've got a hot date to get to," he told her with a wink. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She chuckled softly, both at the fact that he was a believer, and the feel of his hands running down her arms, bare they were ticklish as all get out. "I'm glad." She couldn't be the only believer.

"I don't consider it wrong at all. And I'm glad I'll always be able to say you were the first." Even if she got one hundred between now and the next time, and there would be a next time of that she was sure, this one would stick with her forever.

She stepped back just a little, her fingers laced with his. Turing just a little. "Evil enough, you think? I got a bet to win." Though she wasn't sure what the stakes were.

	He let his eyes run over her, her hands still in his. "Definitely evil enough. Just remember to be yourself amongst all that game playing, okay? Because if he doesn't like the real you he doesn't deserve you." Slowly, he let go of her hands. "Now go on, don't keep him waiting. I'll let myself out." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I will." Even as he let go of her hands she rose up on her toes and brushed a third, but delicate, light kiss against his lips.

"I'll see you." She snagged her old faithful denim jacket, and the pumps. Stepping to the window, as he could guess as well as she could, that her Dad would never let her out of the house in the outfit. If he caught her. If he didn't... Well what he didn't know wouldn't kill her.
