alec mcdowell, navi

Who: Alec and Navi
What: Surprises
When: Tonight
Where: Their Apartment
Warnings: TBD

It was driving him crazy. The waiting. Making him more and more anxious with each passing second. Alec wasn't sure that he'd ever been this nervous in his life, not even during the escape from Manticore, which was saying something. He found himself pacing around the living room, which was only making Turbo fidget in his cage, wondering what was wrong with one of his owners. It wasn't as if this was something new. It'd been in his mind for awhile. Going through with it was something else entirely.

Navi would be getting here any second. She was already on her way, he knew that much, and she'd said she was only a minute or two from the apartment. Taking her advice he had heated up some milk in the microwave and was now drinking the contents of the glass. His heart was racing within his chest and he was pretty sure that his hands were sweating. She was almost there..he knew it, could feel it.

	Navi leaned upward to catch his lips with hers, smiling. "Of course I'm exploiting your weakness. Evil genius Navi, hello!" She grinned and wiggled her toes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alec smiled against the kiss, letting go of her hands long enough to start stroking her hair softly. "But but..you're using your evil yet sexy powers against me. That's like..breaking the rules." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Navi sighed contentedly, leaning into his touch like a cat. "No, it means I wanna smooch you with no clothes on! It's good for you, see?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Be still heart! No, really, you had me at naked. I'm easy like that. At least when it comes to you." He was still smiling, this was by far the best night of his life, considering he'd gotten the girl of his dreams to agree to marrying him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Navi laughed and kissed his chin. "Let's do that in a minute, though. I'm still sort of enjoying you just looking so happy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smartalec 2008-07-08 02:39 am UTC (link)
	"Is that right?" Hands continued to softly stroke her hair, eyes locked on her own, showing just as much emotion as the smile on his lips did. "It might because I've never been this happy before. I didn't think anything would top the bliss known as our vacation. But this? This is the kind of moment where I could live forever in." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Navi grinned. "And you still have the wedding to look forward to!" She ran her fingers up and down his back, chuckling to herself. "Don't explode." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"The funny thing is, I've never actually been to a wedding. You figure I would have at one point...mainly because I use to like to drink a lot..so having one of my own is insane. But I want it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heyheylisten 2008-07-08 03:54 am UTC (link)
	Navi laughed. "You can still drink, silly. I'll just have to put some non-alcoholic stuff out for one of my friends. He's apparently not good at weddings." She nuzzled into his neck, grinning. She had friends and a fiance, things she never would've thought would happened to her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I only use to drink a lot 'cause I always went to the bar. And I only went to the bar because I wanted to pick someone up for the night. Now I have you to come home to every night, to hold in my arms, wake up next to. So I've kinda been cured of my urge to drink a lot." Alec smiled softly at her, moving his hand from her hair to gently caress her cheek. "I use to think the only thing I was ever good at was 'soldier work'. Bred to serve a purpose, yanno? You kinda showed me...I can have clean hands and a good conscience. That I'm not just that guy that cleans up the messes. That I can be..I dunno..decent? Good?"

	Navi blinked and smoothed her hands over Alec's cheeks. It was humbling to know she'd brought that feeling about, and she let her forehead rest against his. "You were always good. Always always. They just... confused you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Wouldn't have ever believed it before." There was still a slight smile on his lips, he was comforted by how close she was, the way she was looking at him. "Coming from you though...means something."

A grin split across his lips after a few seconds had passed and he pulled her in a little closer. "You know, I believe you still owe me a dance, m'lady. And you might as well practice now, 'cause you're definitely dancing with me at the wedding."

	Navi giggled and nuzzled into him. "Well, you're still going to have to teach me." She hopped up, fluttering over him before settling herself down in a standing position by the bed. "C'mon, teach me!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Lucky for both of us, I happen to be an excellent teacher." He pushed himself up from the couch and followed her towards the bed, smile hadn't left his lips, he knew he'd really never been this happy. His life had been filled with a lot of ups recently, but this was taking the cake. "Seeing as how I like to take a hands on approach."

He leaned down and kissed Navi softly, if only for a second. "First, I gotta get us some decent music. Not that it matters that much..only going to be focused on you." He reached down and slipped his shoes and socks off, preferring to be barefoot.

	Navi didn't understand how Alec still managed to make her shiver with just his words, but she nodded and blushed, curling her toes against the carpet in anticpation of his return. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Alec walked over to the small stereo that they had, it wasn't anything complicated or fancy, but it definitely got the job done. He slid in a CD, he didn't really care what music it was, he just really wanted to dance with Navi. He couldn't explain why, never felt like this with anyone else, but he got that a lot with her.

He moved back over to stand in front of her and grinned a little. "Are you ready baby?"

	Navi nodded shyly. "I. Um. I've seen people do this before, but not ever me. Or with me." She hoped she'd learn fast and she stood still, waiting to be directed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smartalec 2008-07-09 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	"To be honest...I don't wanna do anything fancy right now, baby." Alec wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in just a little closer. "Just part your arms around my neck..we'll work it out as we go." His knowledge of dancing wasn't as limited as people might think. You had to learn a lot of different things in his former line of work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heyheylisten 2008-07-09 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay." She was still fighting off a blush as she put her arms around his neck, looking up at him. "This part's good. This is like standing-up-snuggling." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smartalec 2008-07-09 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	Alec, for the moment, let his hands rest on her hips, smiling down at Navi, she had pretty much hit exactly how he felt. " I was thinking the same thin." He was moving to the music, it wasn't a lot of moment, just barely swaying with her really, though he never looked away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heyheylisten 2008-07-09 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	She threaded her fingers through his hair, her eyes locked with his. "This is nice." Nuzzling a little closer, she finally broke eye contact to put her head on his chest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smartalec 2008-07-09 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	He loved the feeling of her fingers in her hair, how soft and intimate she could be with him, the look of love in her eyes. "You keep this up and I'll end up singing for you," he murmured quietly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heyheylisten 2008-07-09 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	She smiled at him, tiptoeing up for a kiss. "I didn't know you could sing." One of her hands moved to stroke his cheek, and she had to admit she was curious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alec kissed her back softly, smiling a little to himself, if only because Navi made him feel like he could do anything. "I'm not the best or anything like that." His voice was quiet and he pulled her in a little closer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heyheylisten 2008-07-10 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	She grinned and wrapped her arms around him a little tighter. "You're better than me. I don't even know how." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
