[ Video] In an unlocked place the only time I feel safe

[mightbeconcussed]

[Lucy comes into view of the screen, bottom lip caught between her teeth. She's got the device propped up on the island in her kitchen]

Morning [She is all giddy smiles. She scoots out of the screen, pans it around a bit to show breakfast prepared and laid out on the island: waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, grits, bacon and eggs. She bends to the side back into the frame.]

Come on. We're going to wake up Pavel.

[She pads barefoot through the house. She's wearing one of Chekov's shirts. It's not terribly loose on her and only hits the tops of her thighs. There's the squeak of the door as she nudges it open; the lights are dimmer here and the bed, at first glance is a muddle of blankets, pillows and a body. She carries the device over to the side of the bed, placing it carefully on the nightstand before she bends over and presses a kiss to Chekov's cheekbone.]

Come on, Slick. Breakfast is getting cold.

(ooc: Chekov and Lucy are cursed with Family Day. They think they're recently married and possibly on a reality show. Or maybe that's just Lucy. Replies to come from both parties.)

[ she's used to it most of the time now. she only misses it at random, odd times like when she runs up a flight of stairs and her body remains silent.

Those are good things to do with his hands.]

I think that's allowed. It's the weekend.

[But if there was only one thing Chekov could give Lucy...]

Would you sleep again, too? You shouldn't be left awake and bored.

[mightbeconcussed]

[She stretches then wiggles, snuggling into him]

I think I could be persuaded to sleep again.

[candothat]

What would it take to persuade you?

[mightbeconcussed]

[She pretends to ponder that a moment, pursed lips wiggling one way and then another.]

You'd have to hold me a little bit tighter and tell me that you couldn't possibly sleep without me.

[candothat]

If that is so... [His arms circle a little tighter and he presses a kiss to her forehead.] Lucy, I will never again be able to sleep without you in my arms--or me in yours, if you like--because any time spent sleeping is too long to be away from you.

[Lucy can't help looking up at him with an expression of adoration on her face. She stretches a bit, pressing her mouth to his in a proper kiss.]

Wow I was smart when I married you. [She says it after the kiss breaks, a little breathless against his lips.]
