[ Oh. Well. Mako's pleasantly surprised by that; she does like when he gets bitey, but he's pulling away and she can't help the disappointed little noise she makes.
Oops.
She rises from the bed anyway, cat-like and still as graceful, her eyes holding a spark of lazy mischief. ] Shall I help?
[It is without a doubt, going to ruin him if they fall apart. Because right now, in this moment, watching her all graceful and sexy and so great, he feels like he's cheating somehow. That he hasn't done anything to deserve her.]
Pretty sure if you do that, neither one of us is going to get clean.
[ It's going to be inevitable, wouldn't it? There's a bullet in her gun with his name on it, and Mako is caught in the middle -- still trying to decide. But then Raleigh looks at her that way and things get far too complicated for anyone's good.
She turns towards the kitchen then, and thinks it would be far easier to just poison him. Quick, easy, right? He wouldn't feel a thing. But. ]
[Smiling, Raleigh catches her by the hand and pulls her back in for another kiss, just a quick searing thing. Like thanks for the food and the sex last night and the more sex we're going to have in a few hours.]
It won't take me that long, I'll help when I'm done.
[ Mako's discovered that she likes when he does that, when he kisses her hard and makes her tingle and she knows why she holds back, again and again. He's gone too quickly, and Mako decides to busy herself in the kitchen, looking through the items he has, and deciding to scrounge up some eggs and bacon, together with tomatoes.
He's not very good when it comes to feeding himself, she realises, and smiles briefly to herself because it's just like him, isn't it? When Raleigh comes out, he'll be treated to the delicious smells of bacon, and delicious, fluffy eggs. ]
[What a coincidence, Raleigh loves bacon, like any good American boy does. He can feed himself just fine too, by the way, he just prefers to have someone else make it for him and sometimes it's just easier to go out and grab a pizza or take out.
Raleigh wanders down to the kitchen within ten minutes, showered and dressed in different clothes and yes, he got all of his parts clean just fine.]
[ That's not called feeding himself fine, by the way. Ten minutes is still quite a short time to get all his parts cleaned okay, how do you even get clean in ten minutes.
Mako smiles briefly, and hands him a plate full of scrambled fluffy eggs and bacon - help yourself. ]
[ Mako tells him simply, putting two more slices into the toaster. A girl could get used to this, really, and when her back is turned, it allows her more privacy to be contemplative. ]
[Mmmm... what? He's just a dude trying to eat eggs here, it takes him a moment to really process what she's saying and yeah, alright she's got a point. He did let her in pretty easily, he guesses. It's not like she made it difficult on him.]
[ Mako's tone is mild, and she smiles briefly, as if putting lie to her words.
No, she really is -- but a part of her is invested in this, in him. She's a liar and a killer, but a part of her doesn't want him to know it; wants him to keep seeing her as what she allows him to see. ]
[ There is a sweetness to him that she wants to preserve, a brightness in his smile that she doesn't want to see dimmed -- and oh, Mako knows, she's in deep, deep trouble.
She's in love with him. ]
I could be a poisonous kitten. [ She smiles, wiggling her fingers briefly. ] Sharp claws.
[Because she is not shy about scratching him when they have sex and he likes that, don't get him wrong. It's just a fact that he's sporting tracks along his shoulders and back from her at any given time.]
[ Yeah, he really would, wouldn't he? Mako could have killed him anytime she wanted -- but this, the thought of seeing Raleigh dead makes her sick, and all she does is go over, pressing a kiss to the crown of his head before depositing more toast onto his plate. ]
[Raleigh wraps an arm around her waist when she comes in close enough, holding her there and maybe trying to nudge her to come sit on his lap. They can share the toast, feed it to each other, you know.
She makes him disgustingly domestic, she really does, just by being around.]
You won me over with your food, that's what it really is.
[ She can say the same for him, because there she is, sidling to settle on his lap. What can she say, really? His lap is a nice, comfortable place for her and she likes the effect he has on her. ]
It's only toast, bacon and eggs.
[ Mako smiles despite herself, settling into his arms and plucking the toast from his plate. ]
[She stole his toast! She can't tease him. Raleigh nudges her head with his for a moment before he turns back for the bacon. Keep the toast then. Bacon's better.]
Alright, I like everything. But you don't have to make me dinner all the time.
YOU
Then don't mind me. I'm just going to go shower, you stay here and take another nap.
