	[Squint.] You aren't supposed to be aware of what you can get away with when it comes to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Soft smile.] No, baby. I still got a couple tricks up my sleeves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 07:10 am UTC (link)
	[Warmly.] I didn't doubt for a second that you did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 07:15 am UTC (link)
	[Gently.] I love you. And, this dumbass who wrote you a poem loved you, too. I'll magnet this to the fridge so we can laugh at my cheesy, cheesy love. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 07:17 am UTC (link)
	[Simply.] I was thinking more of framing it. If you'll let me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 07:21 am UTC (link)
	Baby. No shame. [A beat.] But you can't make fun of me for liking it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 07:24 am UTC (link)
	[Whispered.] Alright, but you can't tell anyone that I kind of like it, too. [Beat.] Besides, I think they'd want us to have a memento of them. Us. Our lives. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 07:28 am UTC (link)
	[Smile.] Yeah. [Fondly.] It's easier to think about our lives back then now that we're here, y'know? It doesn't seem like a dream or a tease or something to just torture us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 07:34 am UTC (link)
	[Sigh.] I was actively trying to forget a lot of it, to be honest. It just hurt thinking about it and there was enough hurt on Earth-3 to pile more on. Now it's back and I feel like we're taking over other people's lives. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 07:37 am UTC (link)
	[A noise.] I felt like that a lot of the time, too. It got easier for a while and then-- well, you know. [She bites her lip.] We don't have to take over anyone's life. Like I said, we're making the rules. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 07:44 am UTC (link)
	[Thoughtful pause. Looking around the city as he walks.] What do you think they'd want from us? What's one thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 07:47 am UTC (link)
	[Shrug. Swinging her legs again before dropping off the roof and onto a lower fire escape.] For us to find ourselves? I wish I could get into her brain better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Nodding.] He was so caught up in things that it's hard to remember. Finding ourselves seems right. [He's getting closer to the bridge. She can hear sirens and cars pulling up for rescue workers. There's something sturdy in his voice. Honest and simple that used to be fought out of him.] I don't know if you can ever really find yourself, but I'm happy with who I am and I love who you are. And, I love you more now than I did back then, despite the lack of cheesy poetry.

I'm gonna go with it anyway. Screw what then wanted. [A couple of beats.] Well, maybe not everything they wanted. [Another couple of jumps and then she grapples to the next roof. Peering over that ledge as she gets closer to the police station. Then, she stops. Arrested to the spot. Like she's breathing.] Baby, I love you more and more every day. And that's not an exaggeration. What do you think they might want if we can't find ourselves?

	[Grin at the first part and then after a pause.] To stay together, probably. I mean, can you imagine getting zapped somewhere without me? I couldn't survive. It was five long years and yes I jump out of my fucking skin when I hear an unexpected loud noise at night, but I never once stopped loving you. And, that's all they can really ask of us.

[She makes a noise when he says he's never stopped, something appreciative and rumbling and that could almost be teary. Then, a beat. Fondly, but serious.] Oh, I thought that was obvious. I'm so glad we didn't get separated after all of that bullshit. It would have been so unfair. I don't know I would go on without you, Eddie Nashton. Any second of any day. [A lip bite.] I need you, baby. I'm not ashamed of admitting that. I don't need anything else except you. [Quiet teasing.] Other things are nice, but you're the center of my world too.

	[Quiet fondness. An inhale when she says she needs him like it put the wind in his sails. Murmured with love:] I don't need anything else either. [He clears his throat. Laugh as he pieces his mind back together.] What other things? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 08:49 am UTC (link)
	[A smile.] Pets. Take-out food. Being able to stay in bed until the afternoon just because we can. Really getting the chance to spend our lives together now and not be scared we'll lose each other at any moment. [The last one gets her just a little bit. She clears her throat.] Just getting to sit around and enjoy us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 08:53 am UTC (link)
	[Warmly.] That sounds nice. [He stops walking. There's chatter around him and city noise.] I'm going to check to make sure everything is running smoothly here. I got another stop at the church and then I'll be home right before dawn. How about you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 09:02 am UTC (link)
	[Thoughtful noise.] I'm laying low and getting a feel for the city right now. You're right. I don't want people to see my Eggplant just yet, but I still wanna sniff around. Looks like police are getting more organized and stuff's moving along. [Proudly.] I might just be home before you are. For once! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 09:04 am UTC (link)
	[Shocked.] Then I guess you'll have to make me breakfast. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
