light_a_spark | Town and MCA - Late evening after the ball

Her fingers twined with his as she reached down to slip her shoes on. "Pfft, logic," she teased.

"I could panic and let us both fall down," he offered, letting his other hand slide down her back.

"Then my dress would get dirty," Aly pointed out sadly, arching her back into his hand.

"No, but my coat would," he argued, eye darkening as he felt her respond and he leaned in to kiss below her ear.

Aly smiled and moved into him, shivering at the feel of his lips on her skin. "It's what you get for being a gentleman," she whispered, voice low.

"I'll take it," he murmured, his hand sliding over her shoulders as he caught her earlobe between his lips. Revenge was sweet.

So were the feelings that coursed through her at the move. Aly caught her breath, her arm slipping around his waist as her knees threatened to go weak.

He grazed his teeth over her earlobe before he pulled back a little and he brushed his lips down her neck, smirking at her reaction.

Aly shivered again, but it might have been the cold. She stayed close for a long moment then shifted back to meet his eyes. "We should go back," she murmured, voice low and slightly strained.

He hummed softly and finally nodded, his hand sliding down her back. "I'm good with that," he whispered, if his voice was strained as well, it was the cold too. He slowly started to pull back, keeping a firm grip on her hand.

"Don't want you to catch cold," she murmured teasingly, her free hand reaching up to stroke down the side of his neck for just an instant.

"You're too kind," he whispered teasingly. Her fingers were cool against his skin, but it still felt good and getting inside seemed like a great idea so he gently tugged on her hand as he started heading back.

"Maybe I just like you not sniffling," she teased, letting him pull her back along the path to the apartments.

"It isn't very attractive," Roy agreed with a laugh.

"I'm not so worried about that," Aly murmured, shooting him a look. She squeezed his hand, falling silent again as they walked on through the snow.

His hair and uniform were slightly damp by the time they made it to the apartments. He pushed the door open for Aly, grateful at the warmth that immediately greeted them.

"Home, sweet home," he murmured, breaking the silence even if it was a comfortable one.

"Home, warm home," she corrected instantly, shivering as the wave of warm air rushed over her. She turned to pull him inside as well. "I don't know how you managed to get wet," Aly murmured.

"Snow," he pointed. "It melts."

He let the door fall shut behind them as he moved into her. "Someone stole my coat."

Aly raised an eyebrow as she slipped her arm around his waist, pulling him up the stairs. "You mean someone offered it to me."

"Mmmmmmm," he looked thoughtful for a moment. "That may have been how it went," he agreed as he slid his arm around her shoulders.

She chuckled, more than happy to stay close to him. "Don't be changing the events of the evening for your own purposes," Aly teased. "That's my job."

He laughed softly, slowly brushing his hand down her shoulder and side. "You should make a list of what's your job so I don't step on your terrain."

"You should just know," Aly murmured, moving into the touch. "If you've been paying attention at least."

"I pay a lot of attention," he protested instantly, his arm wrapping around her waist so his hand came to rest on her belly.

She turned to look up at him, an amused smile on her face as her hand traced over his. "Then why do I need to make a list?"
