[ Oh, the sweet boy. Mako looks briefly surprised, before she's shifting, wrapping her arms around him so that she knows how he's loved, how there is no one else but him -- she fears it sometimes, that they'd grow apart in their time away from each other; but there are the couples who survive it, whose relationships grew stronger after absence.
Mako wants this to be them.
She kisses his nose, then his cheek, then his lips, rubbing her hand over the expanse of his chest, sweet and gentle. ] No. [ She promises. ] How are they ever going to do that when you're all I see?
[She's perfect and awesome and so great, in so many ways, how could he not be a little paranoid that she's going to find someone better while she's at school. Because Mako is going places, she's brilliant and ambitious and she deserves to go there but Raleigh is just Raleigh.
All he has are his abs.
It's still good to hear, to have Mako run her hands all over and place kisses all over his face, and tell him that he's all she wants. His ego could use the boost every once in a while. Nothing wrong with that. He smiles at her softly, touching her cheek.]
Are you really trying to talk me out of kissing your neck?
[ If you asked Mako, she'd tell you that Raleigh is selling himself short, that he's only here because of his mother -- and he should be; you can only have one mother, and Dominique is the best of them. He's intelligent in different ways, able to work with his hands and create things from scratch, and Mako... well, Mako doesn't want to be without him.
If she goes, she'd definitely get him to come along (just not now), and she's more than willing to give him all the ego boosts he needs because has he seen how gloriously delicious his abs are?
She gives him a slow, gentle tummy-rub, pulling away just a little so that she can expose her neck to him. ] You're leaving lovebites, that's not kissing. [ A beat, then. ] I really love you, you know.
[Since technically, hickeys come from him kissing her neck, just a little too much and with too much teeth. When she turns her head slightly, he grins, knowing exactly what she means by that, it's permission to keep on doing it if he wants and he so wants to.
He wasn't done with the one he was working on before anyway.
Raleigh doesn't waste any time in attaching his mouth to her neck again, right over where he was working before.]
[ Well, both it is, and it hurts and tickles in the sweetest ways that make her thrill, and she doesn't want to fly back; he's too much of a temptation for her, stupid Raleigh. He keeps tempting her to just stay here with him, in the warm circle of his arms, where she'll never miss him, where she always knows that she's loved, forever and always by the boy of her dreams.
She's wriggling against him, whispering softly, a warm blush on her cheeks. This should be a night they'd never forget; because she won't be back for another three, four months. ] Take your shorts off first.
[Yes, Mako, keep telling him that you love him. He likes it, sue him, he's a big romantic sap and a walking Taylor Swift song and he's not sorry. Yancy gives him shit for it constantly but fuck him, he's just jealous anyway. Because who wouldn't be jealous of a girl like Mako anyway.
What she says next distracts him from his work on her neck, and Raleigh actually moves to look at her, the surprise clearly evident on his face. He was just looking to make out with her all night, honest.]
[ Let's do the math, shall we? Raleigh's a randy teenage boy in the prime of his years, and possibly making very good friends with his right hand when Mako isn't around -- you know, boy things.
So Mako just looks back at him dryly. ] It's my last night here with you and I won't be back for four months. I give it four days before you clog up Yancy's sink with your unmentionables again.
[ ...Yes, Yancy did actually tell her about it. She's taking one for the team here, Becket, work with her here. ]
And let's be honest, it's him, so really, it'll be like forty eight hours.
Raleigh gives her a sassy look back, such sexy, and doesn't move to take his pants off. But instead he moves his fingers through her hair, and he might be a little red as the next words tumble out of his mouth, because it's going to sound a little girly, he's a total lesbian here but--]
[ THEN DON'T DO UNMENTIONABLE THINGS TO HIS SINK, YOU STUPID PUPPY.
Mako loves it when he's sassy, when he's sweet and loving and then he turns shy and she loves him, she loves him so much it aches. How could he think that anyone could possibly take her away from him?
She grins and wraps her arms around him, nuzzling his cheek before kissing his mouth again and again. They can both be lesbians together. ] I never feel like I have to. We don't have to if you're not up for it right now.
[You're right, he'll stop doing that. Enjoy the jizz in your pillow from now on, Yance.
Raleigh can't help but smile when she wraps around him and kisses him. Is she kidding? He's pretty much always ready to go, he just respects her and loves her and if she's giving it the green light, then he is hitting the gas pedal hard.]
I want to. You don't really plan on sleeping tonight, do you?
[ Ugh, you're the grossest person in the world, Raleigh.
Fortunately, Mako doesn't think that way, and it's sweet the way he asks her if she wants to -- not many boys think that way. It's another of the many things she adores about him, and her fingers trace over his lips lightly, lovingly. ]
Not really. [ She sobers a little, leaning to nuzzle at him. ] I wish I didn't have to go. I liked being here.
Me too. [Both doesn't want her to go and he liked having her around again too. Even if it's going to super suck tomorrow after dropping her off at the airport, because she'll be gone and he won't have anything to do and he can't even talk to her until she gets off the plane to distract himself.
Maybe he can bug Yancy into a movie or something.
Raleigh turns his head to kiss her, just cause.] You're almost done with the semester though? And then maybe I can come out there.
[ Mako will text him as soon as she's landed, like she always does -- it's become a habit with her to text him now and then, occasionally the idle, rambling thoughts, or pictures of things she knows he'd like.
Mako mails over little gifts sometimes, things that remind him that she loves him. ] Not for a few more months. [ She hesitates. ]
[He does the same, only his snapchats are even stupider shit and he tells her about the burrito he's having for dinner and how much Jaz bugs him.
Raleigh looks at her curiously, moving up on to his elbow. Because this is the first that he's hearing about it and he's a little disappointed, yeah, what if he had big plans for the first part of summer for them (he doesn't but he could) and she could have told him earlier.]
[ But she likes his snapchats, she likes the way he takes pictures of regular things, because it feels like she's a part of his life. She knows how much he loves his burritos and Jaz, even if they have fights.
Mako sighs -- there's nothing much to tell when she hasn't even taken it yet; she'd wanted to broach the subject but all this time, it's always seemed a little inappropriate. ]
I was offered an internship at one of the leading robotics industries for the summer.
[He's not really sure how he feels about that, honestly. No, like he's excited for her, immediately? And happy that her super brilliance is being recognized and that she's doing stuff with her life and getting these chances.
But taking the internship means that's three months she won't be spending here and he'd be lying if he said he hasn't been looking forward to that and he's a pretty shit liar anyway so he won't even try.
Raleigh's silent, for a few moments, making a face like he's got to take a shit and isn't sure how he feels about it.]
