So I have been addicted to these two for a while, and this is my first crack at a Leverage fic. I'm not sure if they're in character, but I wanted to write something fluffy. This cute little plot bunny has been in my head all day, so I thought I'd let it loose. Anyway, enjoy!

Parker and Eliot lay panting, side by side.
Eliot heard Parker's breathing slow and deepen, and he assumed she was asleep. He let his arm snake around her thin frame and kissed the top of her head in a wave of affection.
The blond thief's eyes snapped open, "What are you doing?"
Eliot was stunned for a moment but then replied, "Well, I thought you were asleep, so I was gonna go to sleep too."
"No," she murmured, sitting up, "You put your arm around my waist."
He of course thought that his affection was unwanted by the girl, so he climbed over Parker and out of bed. As Eliot started to pull on his clothes, he heard her sigh.
"Where are you going?" Parker questioned sadly.
"Well, what am I supposed to think, you obviously don't want me here anymore, so I was gonna give you some peace."
Eliot looked at her resting on her side, wavy hair blocking what would have been a superb view of her creamy skin. She was the epitome of gorgeous, she had given him probably the best night of his life, and now looked as if she was going to cry.
"I just, I just wasn't sure what you were doing with your arm," she whispered, "No one has ever stuck around long enough to, oh what's the word? Coddle me?"
Eliot almost laughed but didn't after another look at her crestfallen face, "Parker, do you mean cuddle?"
She looked puzzled for a minute but then nodded.
"Yes I suppose that's what I mean."
"So no asshole you've slept with before has ever stayed the night with you?" Eliot questioned, sitting on the edge of her bed.
"Well sometimes I didn't stick around long enough to find out if they would," she replied.
Eliot looked down at her face, and kissed her lips, swollen from their previous activity. He then got into bed, pulled up the covers, and put his arm around her waist. He was about to pull her close, but realized that may be rushing it for her.
"Parker, this is cuddling. I know you're not used to sleeping with someone next to you, so if it gets too weird, let me know okay? But I don't want to leave you alone after what we just did, and I don't think you want to be alone either," Eliot whispered to her.
The tenderness in his voice was foreign to Parker, but she felt something warm in the pit of her stomach listening to his words. She nodded and murmured, "Thank you. For not leaving."
Eliot smiled, kissed her one more time, and then fell asleep.
And when he woke the next morning, sunlight streaming in through the window to make Parker's hair glow like gold, Eliot noticed that the thief had curled into a ball at his side, her head resting on his chest. One of her hands had tangled with his as they slept, and her other was buried in his hair.
It was not long after that he realized the sneaky and eccentric thief had stolen his heart.
