	[Dry teasing.] Wow, you know just what to say to make a girl feel good, war hero. No gossip in Gotham? Perish the thought! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-19 11:40 am UTC (link)
	[Teasing back.] I've always said if I had it my way you would rarely wear clothes in the first place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-19 11:43 am UTC (link)
	But then that means everyone else would get to see me barely clothed, too! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-19 11:46 am UTC (link)
	[Laughing.] Then I guess we'll have to stay home. [Sigh. Biting back a smile. Real serious.] Sorry Eddie, you silly man with your over the top ways of showing love and affection. New Eddie is in town and he doesn't fit in most of your suits. Your birthday plans are getting ripped up. [Ripping noise like he's actually doing it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-19 11:48 am UTC (link)
	[She's not even trying to hide her smile.] You can get new suits, baby. Though I think the barely clothed clause might have to go in both our contracts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're playing a dangerous game, Stephanie Brown. I use to wear spandex, I have zero sense of modesty. [Then a gasp.] You haven't seen me in a suit for five years. [Deeper, like he's being seductive.] Five long years. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-19 11:53 am UTC (link)
	Even if it's cold? I wouldn't want any pieces of you to freeze off. What would I do with myself then. [Smirk. An exaggerated rumble and throaty voice.] I don't know if I can handle it, war hero. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-19 11:57 am UTC (link)
	And, to think I believed you when you said that you loved my heart more than any other parts of my body. For shame. [Eyebrow waggle.] If only I had an incentive. A pretty woman in a beautiful dress to get me to go visit my old tailor. [Aside.] One of my old tailors. I had three. Three. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-19 12:02 pm UTC (link)
	Your heart's okay. I stay around for your body honestly. Have you seen your arms lately? Ever since you've started to be able to lift me up? [A rawwrrr. She rolls her eyes.] I already agreed to dress up. No guilting allowed. [A chuckle.] You were the only man keeping Gotham's tailoring business in action. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-19 12:56 pm UTC (link)
	I flex in the mirror constantly. It's a problem. [Smirk.] Are you going to give me a hint to what you'll wear or do I have to wait? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 12:15 am UTC (link)
	It's sexy. Sometimes. Other times I'm pissed that I have to battle you for mirror time. [A hum. As if she's totally clueless:] I'm not sure? I think I'm supposed to make you wait? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 04:16 am UTC (link)
	Clearly there is only one solution. Cover the entire house in mirrors. Finally, I get one on the ceiling. [Sweetly.] I'll always wait for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 04:22 am UTC (link)
	Wait, is that the remodeling you were planning? All those times you pinned me to a wall in a dirty factor and a mirror is making you happy? So simple. [Grin.] Baby, that's the most romantic thing you've ever said to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 04:30 am UTC (link)
	Noo, nooo, no. When has anything I've ever wanted been simple? [Eyebrow waggle.] Wait until you read this poem I wrote five years ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 04:39 am UTC (link)
	I don't know. Maybe coming home's changed you. [She can't help it. Busting out laughing.] Oh, for fuck's sake. Please. Pleaaassee. I need this in my life ASAP. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 04:51 am UTC (link)
	Well, I mean besides my prehensile tail...[Laughing. He catches his breath.] You can't laugh! You can't! I think I really meant this when I wrote it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 04:57 am UTC (link)
	Pssh. I'mma just chop that! [Still giggling.] Oh, I can so laugh! If I wrote you poetry, you'd be dying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 05:01 am UTC (link)
	You know the tail is still attached to my body, right. It'll hurt if you chop it off. [Insistent!] You couldn't. He'd be so sad. He'd be so sad and this poem is so terrible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 05:05 am UTC (link)
	Then you'll remember how wrong it is to have one. I don't want to wake up with a tail pressed all up on all this, Nashton. [Still giggling!] You aren't making a good case for it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 05:11 am UTC (link)
	Says the girl who likes when the cats sleep in the bed with us. [Sigggggghhh. Teasing.] Fine, I'll read it to you. I should tear it up in his memory, but why waste a good thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 05:15 am UTC (link)
	Hey! You let Matilda in the bed, too! [Pleased. A big, wide grin.] See? This is how I know you love me. You still indulge me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 05:21 am UTC (link)
	I got no problem with tails. I have a tail. I like other creatures with tails. Sometimes I wish you had a tail. [Serious pause.] Okay, alright. Let's do this for real. Deep breath, hold in the giggles and/or applause until the end. Ready? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 05:31 am UTC (link)
	Are you gonna start hanging down rafters and stuff with your tail? That'll just be showing off. [Obviously biting her lip and an mmhhhhmmmm that betrays her glee and struggle to hide it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Showing off is what I do. [He clears his throat. Dramatic pause.]It's called "If I took you to the carnival" by Mister Eddie Nashton.

[And, then he reads it like Eddie would have five years ago. Full of love and tenderness.] If the dot equals a dash over your pale, flecked skin- then I am a mark left with a chalk line on my back at the state fair. [Inhale.] You tell me not to look, to watch the blues or the curve of your hip. You turn away when I tell you that dash, dot, mark is what leaves me spinning wheels and breaking milk bottles for sharp tickets that I wrap around your wrist. [Smile.] The lights flicker, I can taste cotton candy in your mouth. You trip on the way to the tilt-a-whirl. Colors blur and in velocity my fingers thread into yours.

	[There's a giggle at the title and a couple of of amused noises as he starts, but that soon falls away into a fond silence. When he finishes, she lets it linger for a moment. Whispered:] Baby. [Then, clearing her throat. Still fond despite herself.] That was really, really, really cheesy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
