Maura haphazardly tied her hair up loosely, the few strands of her longer fringe falling across her face. She tucked them behind her ear as she leaned over to grab her pyjama top from under her pillow. She pulled it over her head and flicked her ponytail out behind it. She smiled to herself in the mirror at her casual dress for dinner; a simple tank top, panties covered in flowers and simple (bordering on messy) hair.

Jane called up the stairs that she was ready, so Maura grabbed as many of the pillows from her bed as she could and carried them out of the room. She flicked off the bedroom light with her nose and made her way downstairs. Jane had closed all the curtains and laid out a few blankets from the spare bedroom across the floor in front of the couch where the coffee table usually was. She'd managed to find some candles and had placed them sparingly around the room. The light flickered, creating soft shadows as Maura made her way over to Jane.

She dropped the pillows on the couch and then placed them around the blanket careful not to knock over the Chinese containers that were sitting on placemats in the middle of the blanket. "It's beautiful, Jane," she whispered as she leant towards Jane to drop the last pillow behind the detective. Jane smiled knowingly, then turned to the T.V.

"I had a thought: we can still watch Disney, but perhaps not animated."

"Ok... what then?"

"'Pirates of the Caribbean'?"

"Sounds great," Maura smiled, giving a gentle caress to Jane's arm as the brunette sat down and grabbed the remote. "I can look at the costumes and study their sword fighting techniques," she finished sarcastically.

"Maura!"

"What?" she asked cheekily as she took her seat next to Jane.

"Nothing, just enjoy it."

"I'm watching it with you, Jane." The detective looked at Maura for further clarification. "Of course, I'll enjoy it." They shared a loving smile before Jane turned the T.V on and pressed play, having already placed the DVD in the player.

Whilst the opening credits were playing, Maura opened hers and Jane's Chinese containers, letting out a big waft of steam. She dug her fork into its contents to let some cooler air pass through as Jane did the same. Jane leant around to the corner of the couch and came back with a beer for herself and a red wine for Maura.

"You sat them on the floor?!"

"I didn't spill them, besides you weren't gonna walk that way, so I knew you wouldn't knock the over."

"Oh you knew, did you?"

"Yes, doctor, I knew."

"And just how did you know, may I ask?"

"I know you."

"Touché," Maura conceded.

Jane took a long drink from her beer, and then set it back to the side, being overly careful as to make Maura see that she wasn't going to spill it. She then tucked her left foot under her right thigh, as she stretched that leg out. Maura mirrored the brunette's position as she took a sip of her wine. It's sweetness that usually pleased her palette was nothing compared to the sweetness she tasted only a half an hour ago. She chuckled to herself at the thought, then laughed for real when she watched Captain Jack Sparrow's entrance to the docks.

They ate in silence, simply enjoying the quirks of each character until Jane, it seemed, had had enough. "How could anyone survive wearing a corset?"

"I suppose it's just like a big hug."

"A hug across your boobs?"

"I hug you across your boobs," Maura said flatly, raising her eyebrows with a small smirk, waiting for Jane's reaction.

"Yeah, but babe, you let me breathe."

"But I can still take your breath away."

Jane smiled at Maura's cheekiness, which seemed to be a recurring theme of the evening. "You take it away every day," Jane stated as she leaned in to kiss the blonde's cheek. "Now, shush, I'm trying to watch the movie."

"You started it!" Maura exclaimed as she pinched Jane's side.

'Ow!' Jane mouthed as she squirmed away, making Maura giggle. "Maura," she whispered.

"Shush, I'm trying to watch the movie." Jane opened her mouth in mock disgust, but it faded as a smile took its place as she turned back to the screen and picked up her food again, feeling almost proud at Maura's use of sarcasm and utter wit. She moved a little closer to the doctor and took a forkful of her food. Maura nonchalantly took a forkful of Jane's in return and leaned in closer to the detective.

They finished eating a short while later, and so Maura moved to take the empty containers to the trash, but Jane grabbed her arm. "I'll do it."

"You don't have to," Maura reasoned.

Jane leaned down as she got to her knees and pressed a kiss to Maura's forehead. "It's ok." Maura sunk back into the pillows and blankets and finished the last of her wine. When she had finished, Jane swooped in to take it to the sink along with her empty beer bottle. When Jane returned, she had a bag of Hershey's Kisses. "Where'd you get them?" Maura questioned.

"Ma dropped them around when you were still upstairs."

"Oh... did she say anything?"

"No...she just... chuckled to herself... and... hugged me... really hard."

"Oh, Jane," Maura said with a slight chuckle herself. She was glad that Angela was so accepting of their budding relationship. It made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. She knew that she didn't have to keep secrets from Jane's mother.What about mine, though?

Jane wrapped her arm around Maura's shoulders as she sat down, noticing the sudden change in her facial expression. "What is it?"

"I should tell my mother about us."

"Which one?"

"Both, I suppose," she answered with a shrug. "But I won't tell Paddy. His enemies might hurt you."

"It's ok, Maura." She pulled her into her chest to hug her; resting her chin on the other woman's head. "When do you want to tell them?"

The bright blur of the T.V screen glowed over Jane's skin as Maura looked up into her eyes. "Let's finish the movie first." Jane nodded and released Maura, beginning to open the packet of chocolates. She paused.

"What they think won't affect 'us', will it?"

"Of course not, Jane; I love you, and I will by your girlfriend, and whatever they may think will not change that." She rubbed her hand soothingly over Jane's forearm before speaking again. "Besides, it's not like they're in my life every day like your mother is."

"Right. I love you too." Jane busied herself with opening the packet as Maura refocussed on the movie. Soon though, she felt Jane tickle her shoulder so she turned to the distraction and was prompted to open her mouth for a Hershey's Kiss. Jane placed it delicately on her tongue before popping one in her own mouth. Maura moaned at the softness of the chocolate... perhaps a little too much. "So, who kisses do you like more: Hershey's or mine?" Jane asked.

Maura sat thinking as she finished her chocolate before answering. "I don't know. You're both very sweet and delicious. You both end up somewhere around my hips." Jane gasped dramatically at Maura's rather risqué talk, to which she chuckled. "Ja... shush!" she managed through her giggles. "I do love Hershey's, but I love yours more."

"Aw," Jane replied, tilting her head slightly. "Why don't we combine them?"

"Ok."

Jane picked up a Kiss and unwrapped it, but paused. "How?"

"You didn't want to..." Maura started as she motioned between each other's mouths with her index finger.

"Nah, I'd probably drool all over you."

"Thanks for that image."

"You're welcome," she chuckled. "I could kiss it off your tummy."

"Ok," Maura agreed, wriggling down the pillows so that she was lying on the blanket before pulling up her shirt. She sat up suddenly and took the tank top off completely, giving Jane many a place to kiss. Jane smiled in delight, the movie on the screen long forgotten. She dug her hand back into the Hershey's packet and pulled out a handful of chocolates. She quickly unwrapped them, trying with all her night not to take her eyes off the naked Maura in front of her.

She delicately placed the chocolates on Maura's skin, eliciting a small gasp as she placed each one down. "What?" she whispered.

"They're cold," Maura replied. Jane giggled as she placed another one, making Maura gasp again. Jane tossed the wrappers aside and sat up. She removed her own shirt then straddled Maura's lower legs so that she could lean over to kiss the Kisses off Maura. She leant over to the blonde's tummy and took the first Kiss into her mouth. She made sure to run her tongue along the spot where the chocolate was, to warm Maura up.

Maura's hand came down to play with Jane's hair as she took another Kiss from Maura's skin. She was slowly making her way up the doctor's body and was soon taking the Kiss from between Maura's breasts. Jane felt Maura's fingernails scrap along her scalp as she placed other ordinary kisses across her skin up to the last Kiss at her collarbone. "Jane?"

"Hmm?" she answered, looking up into Maura's caramel eyes.

"Kiss me." Jane leant up and pressed her lips to Maura's, softly at first then she slowly opened her mouth to deepen the kiss. Soon enough, the end credits of the film came across the screen, and Jane pulled away. She sat up and reached over to the remote and switched the T.V off. She picked up a blanket from the couch and brought it over with her.

Maura opened her arms for Jane to snuggle in, but instead Jane lay down at her side with the blanket draped across her legs and bunched some pillows up behind her head and grabbed some for Maura too. Maura rolled over into Jane's embrace and snuggled into the nook of her neck. She peppered the skin of Jane's neck until she felt Jane's breathing calm. She placed one last kiss to the soft spot behind Jane's ear and then rested her head and let sleep come.
