The Roof [Tuesday, Afternoon]

Last week... last couple of weeks, actually had been made up of a few ups and downs (along with a couple of interesting interludes). Effy supposed it was all supposed to balance out so she could call it 'okay', but somehow she couldn't. Not really.

Or, not truthfully, anyway. But when was Effy ever completely honest about that sort of thing. At least she had the weekend, and Tony's visit, to look forward to. There was that.

That, and it was still nice enough, even getting into autumn, to just throw a leather jacket over her shoulders and come out to enjoy her free afternoon relaxing and reading. Nothing wrong with a bit of philosophy on your day off. Wasn't even smoking yet, even if she had the materials for it with her. She could get to that later.

[[She's completely disturbable, open roof and all.]]

"You're the one been wandering around with this war wound of yours." Little bit of amused sarcasm in there, yes.

"And you're making it feel better," he assured her, resisting the urge to move his shoulder because the closeness was nice. And he was going to take advantage by kissing her cheek again. "A little chair shot isn't going to keep me down for long. Come on, I've taken worse."

"Mm." Knowing even she'd had worse, it didn't really surprise her someone like Alex had.

Effy spent another moment, resisting the urge to do anything more than exhale a breath against his neck. "No," she decided, finally picking her head up to actually look at him. "Don't think it's keeping you down much at all."

"I'm pretty resilient," he remarked, picking that hand off her stomach and settling it against her cheek. "So, forgive me. I found you now."

He credited himself with remembering how they'd gotten on this track of conversation considering she was that close and he was already leaning closer to her.

[OH JESUS SUBMIT I DIDN'T HIT SUBMIT. So sorry!]

"Fine," she muttered after a second or two of thought. "Just this once." About time she gave up on the last of that 'just hover there' resistance and finally fucking kissed him, wasn't it? Yeah.

Depending on the situation, he'd probably be able to work around her again, but for now... Just this once.

He'd take just this once with the knowledge that he was pretty sure he could get her to forgive him again for something. Well, for something minor. Something big, he thought he'd have a more difficult time.

But yeah, he agreed with her on the just giving up that restraint and returned that kiss eagerly, fingers sliding over her ear and down her neck, still trying to get closer but trying not to have to let go of the hand he'd been holding for awhile.

[sleep well! and grargh, sorry about that again! i'm a dope!]

This definitely beat the way their last conversation had gone. Being a girl around Alex had some real benefits.

Uncaring, really, of where they were, she pressed that bit tighter against him, squeezing her fingers around his hand. Effy didn't really fancy letting go either, which might be kind of obvious.

They seemed to rebound pretty well from their little arguments, at least. That seemed to be a shared talent. Ignore the arguments, go for the good stuff, and fuck it all if it was unhealthy, it worked.

With her moving closer, he was able to slip an arm around easily to keep her there, pressed against him, which was a place he really did like her. Alex gave her hand an answering squeeze but actually slowed that kiss, not stopping but seeing what a lazy, easy pace felt like. They done it before and he remembered liking it so going back there didn't seem like a bad idea.

It did work. Denial and avoidance really were a lot easier for the here and now than any hashing out of their respective issues and stupid arguments. At the end of the day, they usually couldn't remember what the fuck had got between them in the first place, anyhow.

Sometimes, it was just better when they didn't talk.

Like now. Changing it up or, well, technically toning it down in this case, to a slower more languorous kiss actually worked pretty well. At least for now. Neither of them were that great at keeping that up long-term. Right now, though, Effy could go for relaxing and lazy.

He'd already pretty much forgotten that last argument. Probably for the better since, if he did remember, he'd know he didn't look good at all there considering he'd been the instigator.

And while Alex knew this sort of pace wouldn't last a long time (there were reasons things typically got heated quick, he knew that), it was kind of nice right now. He tucked their joined hands against his chest for the moment and then got his other hand under her hair and against the back of her neck, letting his nails graze there.

Of course, even with the lazy pace, that wasn't going to stop him from taking a moment to bite her lower lip albeit with a lot less pressure than he usually used. Couldn't let it be that easy.

Even with a bit of biting in there, this still came out a lot gentler than they ever normally were. Easy was very much relative, and that sort of thing added just a bit more fun.

Effy grinned, ever so briefly, sliding her own hand around his shoulders. As well as she could with that wall there. If he was going to bite, she could give back, even if it was just in the form of sucking on his lip for a moment. Little things.

Little things were kinda nice. He didn't tend to stop and think about little things but they were kind of nice. Nice enough that he slid his hand from around her neck and down, slipping under coat and shirt to brush against her stomach lightly.

Oh yes, he remembered that sensitivity. And he'd take advantage of it while being distracted by what she was doing to his lip and her arm around his shoulders. He thought about sitting up some but he really was comfortable like this.

Almost strange, considering the amount of time they both spent up here, that it hadn't come to this before, even if it would be a fucking weird place to start making out to most people.

Good job they weren't most people, really. Far less chance of getting bored as they were.

This? Defintely not boring, despite being very used to it all. He knew exactly what he could do to her and the feel of her stomach tensing under his palm as he did that, probably expected.

Definitely expected but that didn't stop the grin of triumph at both knowing that and getting her to do that. Again, little things.

He worked his hand a little further up under her shirt and spread his fingers against her stomach, silently apologetic that they were a little cold but finding her stomach perfect for warming them up.

No, he wasn't bored at all. Roof was a perfect place to make out. Quiet, empty and familiar. But, Alex did start to prove that he couldn't take it too slow for long as he was already trying to deepen that kiss.

Effy's hands were probably just as cold, but at least she wasn't sneaking her hands up under his shirt. Having them on his neck was somehow so much better.

Not going to stop her from reacting easily to his encouragement, and tipped her head a little more to make that that much easier. Didn't take much to start moving from that light and easy into something a little more intense.

... Even if he was using her as a free handwarmer.

She was conveniently there and her stomach was nice and warm from being under her shirt and jacket. He could take advantage too and it was just that one hand since the other was still laced with hers, all warm there.

Of course, the hand on her stomach wasn't going to stay still long before he was actually moving it further under her shirt, effectively hiking her shirt up and exposing her skin to the cooler air. Oh well, he was there to use as shield or something.

Alex didn't really know where they were going with this considering they were on the roof but that light, easy kiss had turned deep and a little urgent quick so his brain was sort of not working right now.

Effy caught a slight breath at the cool breeze on her skin, but even that wasn't enough to stop her from curling her fingers at the back of his neck and sticking right to that path they were on.

She'd done this sort of thing in far less appropriate places than this. Roof? Nothing.

And he wasn't going to be stopping things just to move locations. He didn't give a damn and his back had taken much more abuse than a wall or the hard ground.

If she was willing, he was damn sure willing. Hey, it wasn't like there was anyone else on the roof, right? Wasn't like they'd care if someone did end up on the roof, was it?

Yeah, probably evident by the way that hand was pressing against her skin and the way he was kissing her that staying on the roof was fine with him too.

Given Effy's track record and attitude when it came to these things... no, getting caught probably wouldn't phase her all that much.

Besides, if he wasn't backing down, like hell she was. Competitive in everything in her way.

Could never be said they weren't a little adventurous.

Adventurous was so much more fun than dull and mundane. He thought about asking if she wanted to stay up on the roof for awhile just to be a smartass but, really, it was pretty easy to tell.

So, now, all he was going to do was shift around until his back hit the ground and he could pull her closer that way. Christening the roof (well, christening for them) would be so much fun.
