[ The way he relaxes under her touch is obvious, slumping into her that much more, breathing even and body loose. Safety isn't something Nate gives a lot of thought to in general, but Becca brings him comfort in a way he doesn't think anyone else ever has before. Makes him feel like he's in the right place, for maybe the first time in his life. ]
[ She absolutely loves to feel him relaxing beside her, loves knowing she can bring him that kind of peace. Spoiling him can work this way, too. Her head leans softly against his, sighing quietly, hand slipping under his shirt to trace circles against his lower back. ]
Good. I don't think it'd go very well if I had to share you at all.
That's okay. [ He laughs a little, pleased, shifting just enough so he can look up at her. Lowers his voice playfully, like he's telling her a secret. ] I'm really bad at sharing, anyway. So I think it works out better this way.
[ Becca just grins up at him when he shifts away, absolutely smitten. She helps herself to a short and sweet kiss. ] It's not pretty when I get jealous. And you definitely don't have to share me. You're all I could ever want.
Yeah. I feel the same way. [ His expression is soft, looking at her like she hung the moon, and he kisses her again quickly. ] I don't think you're ever gonna have anything to be jealous of, anyway. You're amazing.
[ The way he's looking back at her just has her even more head over heels. She melts at the kiss, chasing to briefly lean her forehead against his. ] You're amazing. Even my closest friends don't have keys to my apartment.
Yeah? You really know how to make a guy feel special. [ He's teasing, a little, but it's also impossible to miss how pleased he is, being the only one who gets this kind of access to her life. It's a possessive feeling, but since when is that new? ]
My favorite gets all the special treatment. [ Yeah, she can see how happy it makes him, and that just has her all but floating with joy. One more kiss, this time lingering slightly, all those happy and loving feelings behind it. ]
[ He hums contentedly into the kiss, reaching up to cup her cheek, happy to linger as long as she wants. Just happy, really, with her there. ] I like being your favorite.
I mean, I hope they're not getting close to you, they'll have to get through me for that. [ He's joking, though it's not like it isn't true, too. He softens immediately, though, stroking at Becca's hair fondly. ] You know you're my favorite, too. It's not even a close race.
[ She knows how true it is, under the teasing, and she approves. That possessive side gets her every damn time. ] I know, but you know I love to hear you say it. Anyone else would have to get through me. [ Cheeky as ever, mostly joking. Becca's not a fighter by any means but if she got jealous enough, she'd absolutely throw down. ]
I wouldn't want them to get close enough for that anyway. Not when I can just have you. [ He bumps a kiss into her hair, squeezing her gently. ] Love you.
Love you, babe. [ Every so often, there's still that small feeling of surprise when he expresses his want for her. It never lingers long, but it's there. She nuzzles in again, tucking her head against his shoulder. After a beat of quiet, she perks up a bit. ] Those silly roadside attractions you went by seemed cool. I'm glad you shared that with me on your trip home.
Yeah? They seemed like the kind of thing you'd enjoy. [ He's pleased to be right about it. He strokes her hair idly, nuzzling at her. ] If I had you with me, I might've stopped at some of them.
I love all that cheesy stuff. [ She perks up a little at the idea of being with him on the road. Not for a job, necessarily, but... maybe it'd be nice for them to take a little trip. Something that's not them fleeing the city for temporary safety. ]
Wouldn't mind if we did a little road trip sometime.
[ He probably wouldn't take her if it was for work, anyway. It'd be mostly waiting around in a shitty motel for her, most likely, but -- it's still a little too close for him to feel comfortable. ]
That sounds like fun. Anywhere particular you'd want to go?
Anywhere, with you. [ Which... isn't really an answer, but it's the truth. She noses in against his neck before pressing a couple soft kisses there. ] We could have fun doing some silly tourist stuff. Maybe spend a weekend somewhere. You've probably been more places than I have, you might have better ideas.
Maybe, but I've never really done the tourist stuff. Always kind of... had specific goals, wherever I've been. [ He shrugs, pressing another little kiss to the top of her head. ] I think I could find somewhere you'd like, though. Get away for a couple days, stop anywhere you want on the way there and back.
It'd be nice. You and me, out there exploring. And I guess I could always use the break from work. [ Just the thought makes her sigh happily. ] I'm not a big theme park person, but I could be happy with most anything else.
You definitely don't want me on a roller coaster. [ She laughs quietly, head resting against his shoulder. ] Soon would be nice. We'll take a picture in front of the silliest tourist trap we can find.
[ He strokes at her hair, settled and content. ] I like that plan. We'll have a couple of days with nothing to do but wander around and enjoy ourselves.
[ He hums softly, considering. ] Guess it depends on where we go, right? Most places have to have some must-sees. I don't know what else. Any other kind of thing you'd want to look out for?
