Person of interest: The Dress.
"Well Shaw, I see you can bring more to bear than just Heckler&Koch." Reese remarked. "Shame you'll never know." Shaw teased as she checked herself in the mirror, which gave Reese ample chance to zip her up. "Well I guess." Reese stood up and did her the honors. " Are you sure you don't need any help?" She turned to face him. "You bored, you need something to do, other than smolder and admire the view?" Reese could see where this was going. "Maybe Shaw, but tonight your the eye candy. If it were some gold digging cougar, I could help." Shaw inched closer and playfully cupped his face. Don't sale yourself short. Tall dark and deranged."
3 hours later...Reese nodded off by the time Shaw returned. She slipped off her heels and crept up behind him on on the couch. "So helpless."For some reason she always wanted to smell his hair, maybe she had more in common with Bear in that respect. Well just his hair. "And here I am without handcuffs." Disturbing Reese like this would be dicey, like poking a sleeping tiger, or panther. ;) "Should've brought knockout gas, but then that would run the risk of brain damage or diarrhea, She mused. "Shaw. Whatever your up to, make it quick before I wake up.." Shaw wasn't sure if he was serious or half-awake, maybe talking in his sleep?
"Huh, do what?" She whispered. Reese had his eyes open at this point."I dunno. Maybe torture/ murder perhaps? Reese, if I was gonna kill you, I'd keep my shoes on."Reese stood up and walked around the couch to were Shaw was, standing right beside her."So what did you have in mind? Let me guess, replace all my bullets with blanks, right?" Shaw sustained a smile. "Why not? I pretty much won your dog over. You trying to make me jealous, Shaw?" Reese teased back. This provoked something in Shaw, who stepped ever so close as to dare Reese to take the next step. Reese suddenly picked up Shaw and placed her on the couch. "What now shorty?" Shaw just looked at him in disbelief. "In the future Reese, let me make first contact." Reese still had his hands on her hips and began to withdraw them until Shaw wrapped hers around his neck. "But since you made the first move.." Shaw bussed him before he could reply, following this she leaped off the couch causing him to stumble back but eventually regained his balanced. "you know Shaw, I always thought you were too prepossessing for this kind of work. Maybe thats why it works, Reese" Shaw replied after catching her breath, surprising for Reese is that she actually took it as a compliment. Just another asset to her considerable list of combative skills, Reese thought. "Alright lets wrap this up Reese, I gotta get up early tomorrow" And with that Reese carried her to his bedroom, not really sure what would entail
afterwards.
4 Hours later...
It was about 5 AM, When Reese was awoken by Shaw muttering to herself. Surprised that she was still there honestly, he sat up. "Whats with you?" This only caused her to turn on her side. "Nothing.. Sorry I woke you. Should I leave?" She said finally after a minute of silence, turning her head slightly to watch for his reaction. "Well I'm not going to leave, and since you're not gonna leave." Reese said as he laid back. "You may as well stay." Shaw flipped over resting her head on his chest. "Fine then" She snorted as if to put a stoic front. Even if she wanted to stay with him.
