	Something like that. Don't you ever argue or complain about each other to your friends? [Because Kitty sure hasn't been complaining to him and he wants to know about things.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I complain about many things to my friends. Pavel's just never one of them. What am I going to say? He's too affectionate? Too understanding? I mean we're still people and I'm sure I've been annoyed by some minor thing here or there. [Though some of the normal "roommate" type things people often get upset about just never seem to bug her unless something else is bothering her. She lived with the X-Men. You can adapt to any kind of behavior.]

	You two are disgusting. Almost twenty years and you're still in your honeymoon phase. [Maybe he's jealous, but just a little. It's not like they don't have problems. In their case, their problems happen to be with things that aren't each other.] ...Everything's alright with him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She laughs at that.] I think the beginning was a lot harder than now. We've worked out the kinks. Leave it to scientists, right? Refining the experiment of marriage. [Is she really confident enough to be calling herself a scientist? Sure, it's not necessarily a title she would have used outside that context of lumping them together, but she doesn't feel insecure about it either.]

Mm... [As for the question.] He's going through a rough patch. Homesick. [Seems like it hits everyone in one way or another. Some got over it early and haven't looked back. For some it took time. Sometimes it never really goes away. Not wanting to go home helps her most of the time. And sure, she could complain that she'd rather he was just as happy as her, but how is she going to complain about that? That's what making him a Russian dish is for. Anything to brighten his day even a little. But she can't give him true purpose or adventure or challenge. She can't give any of them that. Not really. Though she does what she can. Mental exercises are definitely a part of that with the languages and skill building.]

As far as I can remember, you made it look easy at the beginning too. [Easy to him, anyway, but he's made it this far without managing a romantic relationship. So.] I don't even want to ask what tests you put yourselves through in the experimentation process.

[He eases up on the sarcasm as the topic shifts. There's a caring person under Gaeta's wryness, suspicion, and self-loathing, and that person is around far more frequently than he used to be.] If only there was a cure for that. I doubt that there's anything you could do that you're not doing already, though.

I know. I do. [In the past it would have been harder for her to handle it. She probably would have made it worse in some ways by overreacting to it. She hopes not to do that this time.] Some things you just have to go through. He knows he's loved. And not just by me.

And are you kidding me? Do you remember what a mess I was after Reid? Poor Pavel. The first time he told me he loved me I told him he was very important to me. Not to mention figuring out the sex stuff. The past is the worst.

What, other people love him? I didn't know you were sharing him now. [Teasing, even if he still doesn't get the sex stuff after years of being aware of the arrangement. As long as it's working for them?]

So it was a slightly rougher start than I remember. It's hard to imagine a time when you weren't half of the least dysfunctional couple I've ever been around. And to be fair to past you, you were one of the most collected messes around.

He's free for sharing. [Not that he ever has in that way. It just didn't seem fair to only work one way even if that would just increase her wait times with her husband.] But that's not the kind of love I meant.

[She smiles.] Do we get a trophy? That's the real question. And can the trophy be filled with carbs? [He gets a look that says "thank you" for that last part.]

	No, I know. We're one big, incestuous family in here. Full of love. [Mostly. There are at least three exceptions right now.] [He raises an eyebrow.] First you want ice cream, now you want a trophy full of carbs. You're insatiable, Kitty Pryde. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2017-01-25 05:31 pm UTC (link)
	Love and whatever else you find in families. [Hard not to be close for better or worse. She's damn protective of them all though. Even the ones who don't need protection.] Pretty sure that's not the first time someone has said that about me. [Especially after her arrangement with Chekov started.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Less fighting than in most. A side effect of not having another continent or planet to run away to if things get too ugly, I guess. [Good. Kitty should definitely protect him. Bad things happen to him a lot and only, like, half of those are things that he brings upon himself.]

I'm sure it's not. I've seen the way you eat. [He knows what she means. What's it called when you take possible innuendo and take out the suggestiveness?]

	[She gives him a poke in the side, but you know, protectively.] I didn't mean I needed to eat the trophy now anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2017-01-28 12:11 am UTC (link)
	[He pokes her back because it's not immature to poke people when someone else starts it.] The trophy's a metaphor for sex now, right? I want to make sure we're on the same page here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2017-01-28 12:15 am UTC (link)
	Wow, such a deviant. I can't believe you're asking someone as innocent as me a question like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2017-02-08 03:39 am UTC (link)
	I know exactly how innocent you aren't, Kitty Pryde. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2017-02-08 02:28 pm UTC (link)
	You never complained before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2017-02-09 05:01 am UTC (link)
	Not complaining, just saying. You are pretty innocent compared to Jack, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2017-02-09 05:04 am UTC (link)
	Hey, I keep up with Jack. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2017-02-09 07:04 am UTC (link)
	So do I. We should keep up with Jack at the same time someday. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2017-02-09 01:26 pm UTC (link)
	Hmmm...You know I've never done that before. A threesome I mean. Obviously, you'd remember that specific thing. (Reply to this) (Parent)
