Day 397 [action | closed to Kitty]
[Chekov wakes up on Day 397 in a room that isn't his and with his arm draped over Kitty, who isn't usually in a bed with him. Usually no one's in bed with him. Usually he doesn't even bother sleeping in a bed. It's a disorienting way to regain consciousness for a number of reasons.

But he's quick to remember yesterday. Specifically the part of yesterday that involved Kitty asking him (with notecards--it was a strange day) to come over. She had seemed sad, but communication issues prevented him from learning why. Why hadn't really mattered once she'd curled up next to him.

He snuggles closer to her even though it would be wisest to get up. On one hand, he'd determined that giving her space was the best thing to do. On the other hand, they had ended up in bed together--fully clothed, but in bed nonetheless--and that had been her decision, so he can tell himself that Kitty doesn't want that much space after all.]

	[So much easier to be okay when you just act and go with the moment. Well, also easy to not be okay in that scenario, but not with Chekov. He just makes things better.] I promise to let you go prior to starvation. [Leaning in to kiss him again—fully.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She's so considerate and he's never going to not want to kiss her. Probably. There might be some situations where exceptions could be made, but none of them are happening now so he readily melts into another kiss.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Melty boyfriends are the best. Boyfriends? Oops. Getting ahead of herself. Probably. It didn't sound bad just now though.] Mmm... We could do it more. This. I mean with the sleeping over. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He'd roll with boyfriend! Or any label. Or no label. Look, he's easy.] I would like that. [There's a little bit of surprise. Chekov can't for the life of him figure out what degree of closeness Kitty is looking for. Sometimes, like now, it seems closer than others.] Did you sleep well last night?

	[Maybe best to keep it an internal thought just a little longer.] Better than I have in a really long time. [It doesn't help that Kitty doesn't know what degree she wants either, but she's slowly letting go of fighting herself over it. Maybe she can just go with what feels right and not assume that means it's wrong for awhile.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good. [She's told him that sleeps better with someone else there. He really, truly, and sincerely likes that he can help in that respect.] I slept better too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Really? [She likes hearing that.] then it would be silly not to, right? Science would want us to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-10-23 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, really. [He's usually not kept up by nightmares (although those are inevitable) so much as a loud brain and poor sleep habits. Having someone there makes it easier to stay quiet and in bed.] In this matter, I care much more about what you want us to do than what science wants. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She smiles with a light blush. You're going to make her say it without couching it in other terms, huh? Meanie.] I want it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He wanted an unambiguous answer, okay? Just once! And he's so pleased to have one.] One thing: we can never do this when there is somewhere to be in the morning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-24 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	[It feels pretty good to give one honestly.] Do you have a lot of early morning meetings to worry about, mister? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-10-25 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	Only if you call them. [Not that she's the boss of the Defense Force, exactly, but she's the only person motivated enough to get a meeting rolling.] Or if my captain calls them, which is less likely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-25 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah? How do you feel about that here? Like you're Star Fleet officers? [Curious, because she has thoughts and feelings about being one of the X-Men.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-10-25 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	I haven't been an officer for more than a year. The entire crew could be here and I think I still wouldn't feel like one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-25 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, well, title aside then. I mean, do you still feel like a part of that after everything? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-10-25 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	[He strokes her hair while he thinks. It's a harder question than it needs to be.] I have no idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-25 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	[She leans in against him, resting her head on his shoulder.] It's been awhile. And it's been a lot. [Speaking for both of them really.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-10-25 10:44 pm UTC (link)
	Most of it has also been good. [He smiles at her because, while there have been plenty of bad things--most of them in the City, and most of those things that he hasn't shared with Kitty--this part is definitely good.] That makes it more difficult to be a part of everything that isn't here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-25 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	Most? [She can't help but to smile back at him.] You're a really good liar. [She may not let him answer just yet. She needs to kiss him right now. Priorities.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-10-25 11:04 pm UTC (link)
	[Hopefully she didn't really want an answer since he isn't going to remember that there was a question. All of this easy affection is slowing down his thoughts (which are usually many and scattered) and making him feel warm and heavy. It's nice. He kisses her lazily. Neither of them are in a hurry to go anywhere, obviously.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-25 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	[Answers are extremely overrated. Definitely no hurry to go anywhere, but she might just encourage that lazy kiss to be more active. She presses in for more.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It doesn't take much coaxing to encourage him to more. He pulls her on top of him and wraps his arms around her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-26 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	[It's like he knew where she wanted to be. Maybe they have a psychic bond. Okay, it's probably just an obvious thing to want. It only encourages her more and she didn't need any encouragement!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-10-26 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	[Maybe he just wanted gravity to help hold them together! There's a lot more passion than sweetness here now. Chekov rests a hand on the back of Kitty's head in gentle encouragement for her to deepen the kiss.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-26 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	[Using physics against her? You cad! And yet she still deepens the kiss just as he planned! Falling right into his trap and seemingly enjoying it too. They just can't go too far or there are going to be consequences. But she isn't thinking about that right now. She's thinking about kissing him. Touching him. Feeling his heart beat against her chest.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
