Unlike some people at the Medical Examiners office, Peter didn't let his paper work stack up. He tried to do it often. Okay, there have been occasions lately where he had forgotten to do them. Bug knocked on the door looking at him

"Hey, Bug." peter mumbled glancing up from his clipboard. "What can I do for you?"

"I wanted to have a word with you." bug said sitting down in the chair next to Peter.

"A good word or a bad word?" Peter asked. Bug shrugged.

"It depends how you look at it." He said. Peter put his pen down. Bug looked serious.

"Well, all right." Peter said leaning back in the chair.

"You and Lily are serious right?" Bug asked. Peter nodded.

"We're getting there." he told him, "Is this about her?"

"Of course it's about her. Lily is one of my dearest friends." Bug said, "She has a sweet and kind soul. She loves every one. Lily deserves the best in life."

"I know that." Peter frowned deeply.

"I swear to god, Peter…" bug looked around, "If you hurt her, I will hurt you." Peter had to suppress a smile. Big never was one to do the threat thing, but Peter knew he cared for Lily.

"I won't." Peter said, "I swear I won't. I've never felt like this about anyone before. Not even my wife." Bug nodded.

"I'm serious, Peter. Don't hurt her." he said.

"I swear I won't." Peter said. Bug pushed back his chair and got up.
"Well, good…" Bug said, "have a good afternoon." Peter watched Bug leave. He shook his head. Bug was just being protective over Lily. He didn't blame him.
"Hey," Lily walked up to Peter, "Are you done with Mr. Dennison? His family is here." Peter nodded.
"Yeah, I'll be right there." He said, "Bug just gave me the third degree." Lily frowned.
"For what?" She asked him.
"he told me to never break your heart. If I ever did, he'd beat me up." Peter explained. Amusement came across Lily's face.
"That's so sweet." She giggled.
"You want him to beat me up?" He asked. Lily laughed.
"No, but that's totally like Bug. He had a thing for me awhile back." Lily told Peter, "He's like a big brother."
"I see that now." Peter said. "I gave him my word that I wouldn't hurt you. And I won't, Lily."

"I know that." Lily said kissing his forehead.

"Can I ask you something, Lily?" Peter asked putting his glass of water down. Lily looked up from her plate of food and nodded.

"Sure, Peter. Go ahead." Lily smiled putting her napkin on her lap.
"What are we?" Peter rolled his eyes, "I mean, are you my girlfriend?" Lily's cheeks reddened slightly.

"Do you want me to be?" She asked him.
"I'd like to introduce you to my friend as my girlfriends, that is if I had friends." Peter chuckled. Lily smiled.

"You have friends." She said. Peter shook his head.
"The only friends I have are the ones at work." he told her, "That's fine with me though. It gives me more time with you."
"Thanks." Lily reached across the table and took Peter's hand. She knew he had a lot of old friends, but due to his recovery he wasn't allowed to speak with them. Those friends would drag him down if he ever did.

Lily could feel it. Their relationship was heading to that point. It made Lily nervous, but not in a bad way. Frankly, she was looking forward getting over that first hurdle. Peter was coming over soon and Lily was determined not to jump him.

They had an evening of pizza and movie watching planned. Lily had picked out the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It'd be nice a gory and an excuse to cuddle into Peter. A knock came upon the door.
"Who is it?" Lily ran her hand through her hair. She knew exactly who it was.

"It's peter." he said. A giant smile came across Lily's face.

"Come on in." Lily said. Peter opened the door. Why did her heart skip beats every time she saw him? Maybe it was because she was falling head over heals for him.

"I brought pizza." Peter held it up.

"Great." Lily took it from him and put it on the coffee table, "I put the movie in. Do you want some soda or something?" Peter nodded.

"Yeah. Thanks. No ice." he said sitting on the couch. Lily chuckled softly. "I love this movie. Did you see the remake?"

"Yeah. That was good too, but not compared to this one." She said, "You need to look at it as it's own movie, not a sequel."

"Exactly." Peter smiled as he put a slice on a paper plate. Lily walked back out and handed him his drink. "Thank you kindly."

"you're welcome." Lily sat on the couch and pressed play. "I love these movies."

"Me too." Peter said as he ate his slice of pizza. Lily snuggled into the couch as the movie began. Peter cast a glance at her. God, she was so beautiful. Lily looked at him.

"Do I have sauce on my face?" She asked. Peter shook his head with a chuckle.

"No. I was just looking at you for the sake of looking at you." he told her.

"Oh." Lily blushed turning back to the screen. Peter put his pizza down and wiped his hands off. He turned back to her. Peter touched her cheek. Lily's eyes slipped shut as she snuggled towards his touch. His thumb caressed her cheek.
"You know, I never knew I could feel like this." Peter said, "I thought what I had with my wife was wonderful, but now that I have you I see that I was totally wrong." Lily opened her eyes with a smile.

"I know I've never felt like this before." Lily said. "It kind of scares me." Peter nodded.

"Good because it scares me too." He chuckled. Lily covered his hand with her own. She kissed the tips of his fingers softly, "It's…it's a good scare though."

"But of course it is." Lily smiled at him. Peter leaned over and kissed her softly. She sighed with happiness. It was nice knowing they were in the same place in their relationship. Lily opened her mouth inviting peter in once again.

The kiss was slow at first, but soon it started to deepen and go faster. Lily pulled Peter on top of her as she leaned back against the arm of the couch. Their hands were all over each other. Who cares about the stupid movie when they had each other.

"Peter." Lily whispered running her hands up his chest. Her fingers began to unbutton his shirt. She felt Peter tense up slightly, but soon relaxed. He shrugged his shirt off as soon as Lily undid the last one. She groaned running her hands over his toned chest and abs. "So nice." Peter chuckled.

"I try." He winked.

"I work out too." Lily smiled unbuttoning her own shirt. Peter's throat was now dry as he watched her take her shirt off. Good thing she was wearing a bra because if she hadn't been, he would have passed out.

"I see." Peter croaked. Lily sat up on her elbows. They stared into each other's eyes. There was an understanding passing through them. Peter caressed her stomach.

"Should we take this somewhere more comfortable?" Lily asked. Peter nodded as he got off of the couch. He took her hand. Lily led Peter into her bedroom. Her heart was pounding loudly. She thought he might be able to hear it. Lily watched as Peter undid her pants. Okay, she was going to pass out. She pulled her skirt down and kicked it off. They were adults. They've both done this before. It wouldn't be any different. But it was different. When their bodies came together, they knew it was different than anything they had ever experienced before.
