...Wait so I'm supposed to do what with this?

I guess I leave a message.

Hey, this is Rileyable Riley. Leave a message.

So does that work?




[ooc: Leave a message for her!]

[It still blows Ellie completely away that this is happening, that this thing -- the her and Riley together thing -- is real. There are still moments when she kisses her that she wants to pinch herself directly after.

Just to make sure.

Because not only is it real, but Riley's alive. And here. And holy shit, there's no way Ellie's losing her again. She's warm and solid, and going nowhere. And before Ellie can think about it, she moves closer, grips the shoulder of her shirt to hold on, like she might disappear if she doesn't.]

[everysecond]

[Ellie clings to her and for a moment Riley's sure her heart just stops. Her girl doesn't have to say anything for her to really get what that emotion is. It's one she's felt before and it's not long before she twists herself enough to wrap her arms around Ellie to hold her close.

This is real. They have a chance for that life together here. This is the kind of thing they'd hoped to figure out together on their own but had never been able to due to the Infected.

She's alive, Ellie's her girl, they're kissing.

They can be happy here...

Holding her tight, she just lets all of that sink in.]

[tonsofpun]

[By the time the kiss ends, they're both breathless and wrapped up together, and Ellie feels like somebody two blocks away must be able to hear her heart pounding.

She hadn't expected it to feel so good.]

... holy shit.

[Rather than pull away, she rests her forehead against Riley's shoulder, taking a few seconds to try and put herself back together again.]

Wow.

[everysecond]

Heh. Yeah.

[What else is there to say? Riley certainly can't cover it better than that. Just...wow.]

Maaaaaaybe we should come up here together more often.

[Okay maybe she can think of something to add.]

[tonsofpun]

Sh'yeah, maybe?

[Still a little breathless, Ellie cracks up, looking up at the stars, at her.]

... great view.

[everysecond]

[This is probably the cheesiest thing she's ever said but she's so not looking at the stars when she says:]

Yeah. Great view.

[tonsofpun]

[Ellie sputters, and reaches out to push on Riley's cheek.]

... holy shit. That was- that was bad.

[everysecond]

[Riley laughs. She meant it but she's not even going to deny how bad that line was.]

Yeah but you totally liked it.

[tonsofpun]

You're lucky you're cute, 'cause you're not getting anywhere with that shit-

[Ellie just breaks off laughing.]

[everysecond]

Why yes. I'm really fucking adorable. Never fear though, I'll help you be as cute as I am.

[tonsofpun]

Cute and modest.

[everysecond]

Modesty? Who needs it?

[tonsofpun]

[Ellie gives her a sideways look, and can't keep a straight face. She starts giggling.]

[everysecond]

[She bursts out laughing with her, unable to contain it at this point.]

[tonsofpun]

[Ellie nudges her fondly, still snickering, and gets up to her feet, tugging gently on her hand.]

Come on. Let's see if there's anything left in the fridge.

[everysecond]

I'm always down for food.

[Riley does like to think with her stomach. There's no doubts about that. Getting up, she helps Ellie to get down before swinging back in herself.]

So, you think there's actually anything but bacon in there?

[tonsofpun]

You're thinking about the freezer.

[Ellie follows, swinging in a window and nearly kicking a lamp off a desk, cussing softly.]

[everysecond]

Freezer, fridge...it's all fucking cold and makes food not become shit as fast.

[She looks at the lamp.]

I'll give you a seven for the dismount and two for the landing.

[tonsofpun]

[Ellie snorts and replaces the lamp, reaching up to rub a hand against the back of her neck self-consciously.]

Oh, shut up.

[everysecond]

We'll work on that. Lesson two will be "don't knock shit down on landing."

[tonsofpun]

Eat me.

[Ellie gives her a light punch in the arm and moves past her.]

Speaking of which, I'm hungry. You?

[everysecond]

When are we not hungry?

[Seriously.]
