I got this idea from a Buffy/Angel Fan Fiction I read and thought I would try something similar
01. Cuddling on the Couch
"Are you crying," he asks, his fingers skimming through her dark hair as he looks at her.
"I'm not crying, you are," she states emphatically.
He looks at her and smiles; the corners of her lips crinkle in an attempt to avoid the laughter building up inside her. It does not work. The laughter starts from her eyes…the way her expression changes from serious to uncontrolled gaiety. That sound radiates within the darkened room and suddenly he too is laughing uncontrollably. Their shoulders sag and their belly aches but when the moments ends, the feeling inside them is euphoric.
"Well everyone cries in Casablanca, don't they," he asks, after the moment of silence is broken. She settles into his arms, her head upon his shoulder, as his arms wrap around her waist.
"Thank you," she whispers.
"For what," he asks.
"For not going all macho on me. "
"I'm working on it," he says, kissing her nose.
She plays with the stray hair on his chest as she looks up at him. "I know it's not easy for you Robert but…I appreciate the effort. I like to know what you are feeling. It is not good for you to keep everything hidden from the world. You are not alone anymore. You can tell me."
"What do you want to know?"
"How about we start with something simple? What makes you happy? Just one thing. Tell me the first thing that pops into your head. "
"That's an easy one. You. You make me happy."
"I am being serious here Scorpio."
"So am I. We live such a fast-paced life with our careers but nothing makes me happier than being able to lie here with you in my arms listening to your heartbeat. I did not think it was possible to feel such joy in something so mundane but I do. "
She looks at him with those eyes that once made him feel so completely naked…and he knows that for her, he would bare his entire soul. She was the only woman he ever felt truly connected to.
"I feel the same way Robert. I do."
"No Cheating Devane. That was my answer. What is yours?"
"My answer is the same but alright, you want something different. How about I give you a hint?"
He waits for her to continue but instead of giving him an answer, she holds out her hand.
"Dance with me Scorpio."
He pulls her off the couch and she comes easily into his arms.
"It would be my pleasure," he says.
Robert hums to her softly as they dance on the kitchen floor with the sounds of crickets just outside the window. She falls a little more in love with him.
