A/N: This fills a 'dishes' prompt. This is Modern AU. Loosely connected to the drabble titled 'Now That I Have Your Attention'.
Marcus was quietly doing dishes, lost completely in thought. He had the day off, and he and Clarke had shared a pretty decent meal just the two of them. She had since retired upstairs to study for a Latin exam she had later this week. He suspected she was on the phone with Raven or one of her other friends. Anything to get out of dish duty. Not that he blamed her.
He had been so lost in thought that he hadn't heard her car in the driveway or heard her come in. He jumped slightly as her arms went around his waist from behind. He smiled as he relaxed against her.
"Work was a bitch," Abby sighed as she closed her eyes and rested her cheek against his toned back.
He chuckled and reached for a dish towel to dry his hands. He turned and pulled her into a hug, kissing the top of her head. "Well, you're home now. Hungry?"
She shook her head. "I had something at the hospital, but thank you."
He bent down to kiss her softly. "Help me finish up these dishes, and I'll give you a foot massage," he tempted her.
She moaned softly. "That would be heaven." She moved onto her tiptoes and kissed him again. She moved to the sink beside him as they finished the dishes. He didn't like but a pan and a few pieces of silverware.
He nudged her. "Go on and say hello to Clarke, and the get yourself to the couch. I dvr'd your tv show."
She smiled up at him. "Where is Marcus, and what have you done with him?"
He rolled his eyes. "Hardy har har, Dr. Griffin. Keep it up and see what that gets you."
She chuckled. "Okay. Okay. I'm done teasing. Clarke, the couch, and the tv show with a foot massage to boot. I won't screw this up."
He watched as she left the room. He couldn't help but chuckle again. He couldn't wait to get some quality time with her.
