Log;

She wasn't trying to hide anything. It was probably the twelfth time she'd told herself this. It was a complete lie. She knew she was hiding as much as she could. The words had slipped out without her even thinking. Being forced, it was something that was a natural unpleasantness by now. Or had been.

All the forced companions and wandering hands had stopped many years ago. None of that had occurred since she left that life and betrayed everyone. Rachel, she'd probably ruined Rachael's life. Who knew what her father had done to her. She tried not to think about what had happened to those she left at home, but sometimes it crossed her mind. Sometimes in the dreams ...

She pushed open the door, her sleeves looking horribly dingy as well as the rest of her. Hair scattered out of her ponytail and face darkened by unidentifiable dirt. It had been a long day, and she didn't expect it to be over. Not after what she had said. She picked the door closed with her foot and set what she carried down, resting her body against the door to take in a few calming breaths.

Amused by her lack of balance, he reached back and brought the bracing onto him. It wasn't like she was heavy. And he liked her leaning against him.

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

She didn't much mind it, in fact she really liked it. She let her hand tangle in his hair, giving in to one of her favorite things to do to him. She really loved the way his hair felt.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

He had no complaints there. He liked the feel of her fingers in the strands of his hair. Gently the hand at her back started to massage as he deepened the kiss.

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

It was interesting, but she wasn't complaining. She kept reminding herself that this was Mat. This was all her choice and not a forced attempt to gain her father's company. She had nothing to give in return, just herself.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

She seemed to like it so he didn't stop rubbing her back. Sliding the hand on her leg up to her waist, he rested it there.

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

That was alright. She didn't mind either action. Neither was invasive.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

He'd have to move slow with her but he didn't mind. Breaking the kiss, he smiled. "Now that is a thank you."

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

She couldn't help laughing at his comment. "That, is one hell of a thank you."

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"Glad you approve." He grinned and leaned back into the couch. "Farm boys have to know how to say thank you their own way when they don't know court etiquette."

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

She leaned against him, still playing with his hair. "Etiquette is overrated. So, do you thank everyone this way?"

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

He laughed at the question. "No I bloody well don't. I have learned how to say it."

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

She laughed with him, piking him in the chest with her free hand. "Good, we wouldn't want another incident like with Clow. Even if he happens to be fantastic, I don't like sharing."

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

He shot her a slight glare. He didn't want an incident like that again either. "Good news. You're not sharing."

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

"Good." After a few moments she pushed herself up quickly. "The food!" She had forgotten about it completely.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

He reached up to pull her back down. "...Is off the stove and the stove is off."

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

"... oh." She was glad for that. Having the apartment smell of burnt offerings was not something she wanted to deal with again. "Are you going to eat then?"

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"In a bit. I'm not hungry right now." He smiled and kissed her again. Strange how you could go a whole day without eating and not be hungry sometimes.

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

She returned the kiss and sighed. Really, he needed to eat something. He needed to keep up his strength with how the City was. When you least expected it the City would hit you with something horrible.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"You're worrying about me again." He couldn't believe that he could read her so easily. Well...at least when it came to things like this. "I will be fine."

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ears. "The City is unlike anything you have ever experienced." She was reminding herself as much as reminding him. One needed to be more then on their toes to handle this place.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

He nodded in understanding. This place was different. Completely. Unlike anything he'd ever seen before...in all of his memories. "I'll be alright."

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

She smiled sweetly at him, a smile that showed in her eyes. "Good, but a girl can worry. Especially seeing as there are some very shady people out there."

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"You'll find the bloody shady ones everywhere." He smiled back and winked at her. "But there are always bloody fools to take care of them."

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

"And fools who want to protect those who try to help." She knew he was a good man. Even if he would argue it the whole way he would try to help those who needed it. She could see it in his eyes.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

And she was right too. Which was why he'd be having a building fall on him when he got back to his world. For helping those who'd needed it. But, he couldn't bring himself to be any other way. Bloody good nature... Reaching up, he tugged the hair ties from her hair and undid the braids so his fingers could play with the strands.
