MCA #10 - Evening

[light_a_spark]

There was a lack of overenthusiastic kittens to greet Roy as he pushed the door to Aly's apartment open. There was a definite lack of kittens and Aly in the living room too.

"Did you leave without saying goodbye?" Roy asked, following the sounds coming from the bedroom.

((For the Aly.))

Aly thought for a moment, her fingers still touching the blue fabric. "I would have liked some more of the Fandom aunts and uncles there, but it didn't need to be a big thing. I was just happy my parents were there."

"And Nawat," he guessed. "You don't mind me asking about it?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Nawat was going to be there no matter what," Aly said dryly. She turned to him finally. "Why would I?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He shrugged a shoulder, but the gesture wasn't entirely casual. "I don't want to make you feel awkward."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She tilted her head towards him, crossing towards the bed again. "You're not. Is it awkward for you? Talking about this?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Maybe a little," he admitted, glancing up at her.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"We don't have to," she murmured, pushing the bag out of the way so she could sit next to him on the bed, hre hand reaching out to stroke over his side then Dee's.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I know," he said softly, reaching up to brush her hair behind her shoulder. "I want to."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"What do you want to know?" she asked, tilting her head into his hand even as she got caught up giving Dee the scritches demanded.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He propped himself up on his elbow and he would her stroked her hair, but the angle was odd so he slid his hand down her back. "Nothing specifically," he admitted. "I know it's an important part of your life, I don't want you to feel like you have to ignore it."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"I don't feel like I need to ignore it," Aly said quietly, laying down next to him so their eyes were on a level. "I loved Nawat very, very much. He's always going to be a part of my life."

Roy nodded in understanding, knowing that having Lianna made that even more true and he wasn't sure why that made him wonder about Ed. "I know," he said softly.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Doesn't mean I don't love you too," she murmured.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I know that too," he said quietly, smiling faintly as he reached up to brush his fingertips over her lips.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"So no reason to feel awkward?" Aly said, gently kissing his fingers.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I suppose not," he agreed, now fully smiling as he watched her.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"So was there anything else you wanted to know?" she asked, smiling back and finally stopping petting a complaining Dee to touch his cheek.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Yes," he said seriously, meeting her eyes. "Will you wear a sarong and jacket for me? Nothing else?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly chuckled and started to get up. "Sure thing."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"You spoil me," he said, smirking and it took some willpower not to get up and help her.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Remember that," she teased, reaching behind her back to unzip her dress and stepped out of it as she was moving towards the closet.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I do," he said smugly, enjoying the view a whole damn lot. "I like it."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"I'm shocked," she teased, pulling a sarong out of her closet and starting to slowly wrap it around her waist.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I know," he said, his voice low and he was a bit sad to lose his view on her legs. He'd see it again soon enough. "You were expecting me."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Might have been," she murmured, finishing the knot then reaching back to unclip her bra.
