The Deck - Sunday afternoon

[heromaniac]

Momoko was determined to make up for all the hours she had spent indoors watching that AWESOME new sentai series, and the radio this morning had left her with no illusions that this was 'one of those weekends', which promised much entertainment. So she set up the sun umbrella to keep any rain off of her, and was sitting on the deck with a ton of snacks (and even some she was willing to share), a camera with a fresh memory card, a spare memory card, and a folder full of legal citations and arguments she'd pulled from the web.

Look, she was still worried about that judge getting away with stuff, okay? Maybe it wouldn't all be usable, but it was at least some ideas, right? She was trying to be a responsible legal... person. Sure she didn't have to be at work until Monday, but Justice didn't take days off!

...

Okay, so she also had a bag full of used manga beside her, too.

So when there wasn't someone visiting or being crazy within zoom range, Momoko was alternating between legal papers and a volume of Wan Pīsu... and hoping the pirates in this series got more interesting. And cute. Bleah.

Momoko's blush grew as she rematched the halves, but so did her grin. "And then you can eat the cookie!" Which she did.

And she only hesitated a flash of a second before licking at the crumbs on her fingers.

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime leaned in close, still staring a bit. "You've got a bit of..."

He paused. Then lightly kissed the corner of her lip.

[heromaniac]

Maybe she shouldn't complain about how he ate cookies, after all?

"That was not one of the steps. You totally weren't paying attention, were you?"

[weldedtomyspine]

"Are you sure?" Jaime asked softly. "I'm pretty sure my way is pretty good here."

[heromaniac]

"Totally not one of my steps." Momoko laughed lightly and leaned forward to rub noses with him. "But it was nice."

"Can you show me again?" she tossed his earlier words back at him. "I'm not sure I got it the first time..."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Now who's not paying attention?" Jaime asked, perfectly happy to lean in and show her again.

[heromaniac]

Who said she wasn't paying attention? She totally was.

She put her arms around his neck to keep him close after the kiss, awkward position for him or not. "I just want to make sure I get it right. You know, for future use. With my boyfriend."

[weldedtomyspine]

"I thought," Jaime murmured, brushing his lips across her cheek, "that you were going to leave that jerk for me."

[heromaniac]

"I haven't decided for sure; he can bake, you know."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Hey! You don't know whether I can bake or not!"

[heromaniac]

She gasped in horribly faked surprise. "Ah! That's totally true! Can you?"

[weldedtomyspine]

"Well, I don't know." He grinned. "Amnesia, remember?"

[heromaniac]

"Hmmm. That's true." She pretended to consider that. "Hey! What if you have a girlfriend and you just forgot?"

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime's eyes widened in sudden worry. "That would be terrible! It would mean I can't ask you out!"

[heromaniac]

"Exactly! And then I would be sad and alone! I am totally not liking that possibility. What's in it for me, to risk that?"

[weldedtomyspine]

"I... don't know." Jaime's eyes clouded slightly as he slipped a bit too far into character.

[heromaniac]

"Hey," Momoko poked his cheek, slightly concerned. "You're supposed to say something silly. Like, maybe we could get my boyfriend to fall for your girlfriend or something. Oooh! You could offer to roast me those marshmallows!"

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime recovered with a grin. "Hey, now there's an idea!" He poked her back.

[heromaniac]

Yay, he was back! She... worried when he suddenly stopped smiling like that.

"Which? There was two, you know."

[weldedtomyspine]

"The one I just had on my own," he teased.

[heromaniac]

Now that was more like it.

"Eh?" She gave him an eager look. "Is it a good idea? Really? Tell me!"

[weldedtomyspine]

"It's a really good, really secret idea."

[heromaniac]

"Oh! Can you trust me with a really secret idea? I mean, I totally know I can trust me, but you have amnesia!"

[weldedtomyspine]

"That's exactly my problem. You might secretly be a spy!"

[heromaniac]

"Well," she chided, "if I wasn't a spy in secret, I totally wouldn't be a good spy, would I?"
