They got to Whistler's apartment and quickly closed the door. They were both slightly tipsy from the margaritas at the restaurant.

"Come snuggle with me," Lucy said in a whiny voice, pulling her girl closer.

"You want popcorn?" Kate asked.

"Yeah, then you come snuggle with me," she said quietly. She wrapped her arms around Kate as they walked to the kitchen. Kate laughed and squatted down to open a cabinet. Lucy immediately climbed onto her back and wrapped her legs around her girl. Kate laughed again, then grabbed the popcorn.

"Watch your head, princess," she said, standing up. "You're tiny, but still," she teased.

"Hey!" Lucy protested, gently swatting Kate's head. Kate laughed and unwrapped the popcorn bag, then put it in the microwave. "Can we have cinnamon sugar?" she asked. Kate laughed again.

"You know I'm trying to watch my figure," she whined. "We can split it," she offered.

"Fine. Hey. You're hot, you know," she replied. Kate bent down and helped her girlfriend down, then put her hands on Lucy's hips.

"Thank you," she whispered.

"You are, you know. Smoking hot, super sexy, smart Miss DIA Agent," Lucy said, gently moving her hands up Kate's chest. Then the microwave beeped. Kate groaned and pulled away. She quickly pulled it out, then poured the popcorn into two bowls. They quickly topped their food, then curled up on the couch together.

That night, they curled up in Kate's bed. Lucy immediately nestled herself in Kate's arms and closed her eyes.

"Are you okay?" Kate asked, noticing that Lucy flinched when she ran her hand over a certain part of her back.

"Yeah, I got beat up earlier. I'm okay," she whispered.

"You got beat up? How bad?" Kate asked worriedly.

'Not too bad. He tried to get my gun. I really am fine," she whispered. Kate took a deep breath and nodded.

"Okay. Go to sleep now, alright?" she murmured.

"Okay, Katey, night," Lucy whispered.

"Night, Lucy," Kate murmured. They were soon asleep, comforted by each other's scent.
