"Hey, have you seen the..? Oh." (46) (Where There's Smoke There's Fire)
A/N: Just another little in between scene. Part of my Thank you fics for followers series.
In the weeks since she'd been living with Killian she'd finally started to feel at ease. He went out of his way to make sure she was comfortable and their items seemed to mingle together nicely. He left for work at his usual time and she had the morning to herself, surveillance for the new perp didn't begin until later that afternoon.
She decided to make use of the new fizzy bath ball that she bought while shopping with Mary Margaret over the weekend. Her muscles were sore from the workout that she and Killian had the day before. He loved when she challenged him on a run and so she did, maybe overdid is the correct word. She'd won this time so he was on dish duty this month. He'd always helped her when she did them anyway so of course she'd do the same for him. It was still nice that she could win if she tried.
She filled the tub with warm water and dropped the fizzy bath ball in as per the instructions. The floral scent and oils were unleashed as the ball fizzed around in the warm water. After turning on soft music, she pulled her hair up off of her neck into a messy bun, slipped out of her pajamas and carefully climbed into the warm water.
The warm water began to soothe her aches immediately. She lay back against the edge of the tub and closed her eyes as the calming environment completely relaxed her. It may have been a few minutes later or longer when she heard the door close.
"Love it's just me."
She relaxed back knowing it wasn't an intruder. "I'm back here."
He poked his head into the room."Hey, have you seen the..? Oh."
She smiled and sat up slowly."Hey."
He raised a brow."I knew living so close to the station had its perks."
"Care to join me?"
He closed his eyes and shook his head."Tempting, very tempting Love, but I have to get back. I just game home to pick up my tool belt."
She sat up a little further teasing him by revealing more of her body."Oh really? There's a certain tool in your belt which I'd like to make use of right now."
It took him 2 minutes to divest himself of his clothing and climb into the tub with her. She relaxed back into his embrace and kissed him softly."What's the sense of having perks if you don't take advantage?"
He got back to the station tool belt in hand grinning with rosy cheeks smelling just a bit like lilac and ginger. Oh living close certainly had it's perks, that was for sure.
