mnt_raph*It had been a long night. The kegger out by the lake seemed to rage on for hours. He should have gone down and at least gotten a drink. Instead he did what he always did on his birthday. He sat up on a rooftop watching the world go by him. Force of habit? Or plain old fear? Raph was trying not to think about either, truth be told.
He rolled out of bed, counted to 25, and watched as the bed remade itself. The process wasn't complete until the Death stuffed toy was prominently placed against the pillows. He'd tested this a few times. No matter where he put the thing, it somehow always got put back in the exactly same position. Raph found it a little disturbing.
Something catches his eye as he makes his way from the main room to the bath room. It's that blasted VHS tape Mike left. The one with the obvious "men in suit" version of him and his brothers. Raph wrinkles his nose at the cover and keeps walking. There's a hot shower with his name on it.*

"Did she get you the doll, too? It's... really cute. The doll, I mean. And the blanket." Her voice is just a little strained.

Date: 2004-12-23 12:17 am (UTC)She reaches up, will against will, to brush the back of her knuckles against his cheek. It's lighter than the brush of butterflies.

*The resulting kiss is frustrated desperation incarnate*

Date: 2004-12-23 12:46 am (UTC)If she did any more, if she let all of it out on him, she doesn't know what would happen. Most likely she'd destroy him utterly.
But she meets him movement for movement, breathless. One hand tangles in his hair, still heavy from the shower.

no subject
Date: 2004-12-23 01:04 am (UTC)And this one is different. It's too gentle, too leisurely, full of promise. It's a kind of kiss that could go on all day.

His arms wrap around her*
no subject
Date: 2004-12-23 01:26 am (UTC)His skin is slick beneath her fingers, and warm, and he's holding her, and she can feel it...
...And she was almost over this, too.

Date: 2004-12-23 01:40 am (UTC)you. i want you to stay. ohhowiwantyoutostay.
*he closes his eyes again and turns away slightly*
but...you have to be okay with that.
*he turns back and looks her in the eye*
are you okay?

Date: 2004-12-23 01:55 am (UTC)"Sooner or later I'm going to hurt you. Worse than hurt you. There's a reason... mortals and Endless... we don't..."
She sighs in frustration, and turns away, running a hand through her (still-wet) hair.
"I don't want to hurt you. And I'd grind you up, eventually. This can't last."
She hugs herself, tightly.
"...But you make me warm."
no subject
Date: 2004-12-23 08:27 am (UTC)Securing his towel around his waist, he moves towards her. She can feel him long before he brings her into the hug. Arms around her, head nestled in the nape of her neck.*
Nothin' lasts. But you know, I can't think of a better way to go. Just so long as it's only me.
no subject
Date: 2004-12-23 08:46 pm (UTC)won'tcan't.So she stays. And permits herself to smile a little as she reaches up to touch his cheek, the other arm resting on his.
"Very well..." For now.

Date: 2004-12-23 10:18 pm (UTC)She turns to kiss his mouth, very softly. A whisper of a kiss, really.
"Must be."
