Nah, man. Too much stuff. I was gonna have to carry around a friggin' metal baseball bat if I wanted to be able to summon DT.
You poor thing. I can carry you up the mountain if you want.
Only thing I had planned was to pick you up. And-- [ He looks thoughtful. ] -- yep, pretty sure I'm done with that. I'm all yours.
Christ-- I dunno if I should be in awe of your insane dedication or just. Be afraid. Because you're clinically insane.
Pretty sure you've carried my ass enough lately. Not that I don't appreciate it, but I'm pretty sure these past few days are going to leave a serious dent on my self-worth.
Oh good. I was thinking that, just this once, we should follow Rocket's advice and get a room.
[ she holds up a little key-card looking device, and grins ] Shall we tour my new apartment?

[ She plants a quick kiss on the corner of his mouth ] You know I'll carry you whenever you need it.
In the literal and the metaphorical sense.

[ He smiles as she pulls away. This is-- new. Good new. It's weird knowing he has someone he can trust. ]
Yeah, I know. More than happy to let you be the brawn in this relationship. And the brains. And the beauty.
I guess I'll be moral and emotional support or something.

Goodness me, that's an awful lot of pressure. I hope I can measure up to your expectations.
[ He waves a hand. ] I say tomato, you say to-mah-to.
Yeah, probably a good idea if we go now. You have about sixty seconds before I tackle you to the ground right here and now.
[ A beat. ]
Fifty-nine.
[ A beat. ]
Fifty-nine.
[ He pumps a fist half-heartedly. ] Hurrah.
See? We're doing well.
See? We're doing well.
[ She just. Grabs him by the wrist and drags him off.
Opportunity is fucking huge, and it was designed to house more than robots and engineers. It was meant to be Handsome Jack's shining city (and monument to his ridiculous ego), but the Crimson Raiders had taken it over and were slowly converting it into Sanctuary 2.0. A few people were already living in the apartments, though not many.
It takes a while to find the apartment she has a key to- everything kind of looks alike and it's easy to get turned around. That and thinking about all of the things she would very much like to do to Peter are quite distracting.
When she swings the door open, she only takes a moment to notice the fact that it looks like a model home almost- never lived in, but fully furnished with everything in sterile whites and light greys. The moment passes and she's turning to shut the door, and pinning Peter against the nearest wall to kiss him soundly in one fluid motion. ]

[ For the second time today, he's starts to say something (this time something about the decor) when it turns into a quiet "Mmph" as Maya kisses him. He pulls back briefly to put on a look of mock outrage. ]
Is this gonna be a thing, now? I start talking and you just grab me and snog me?
Is this gonna be a thing, now? I start talking and you just grab me and snog me?
No, no, I just wanted to be clear on how this was gonna work from now on.
[ She kisses him somewhere on the tail end of the word "on", and pulls away smirking. ] Yup.
[ She laughs a little ]
Well, shall the Brawn go out looking for something to eat, then?

Whatever, dude. If you were a man of science, you would totally get it.
Yeah, I'll come with you and, I don't know, praise you on a job well done. Maybe I'll manage to catch something, too. Like a beetle or a slug.
[ He would move to get up, except-- she is on his lap. And-- she is on his lap. She's on his lap, and it's just now sinking in. ]

[ Yep, he definitely saw that coming, and he sighs playfully. ] This is gonna backfire on you, you know. You've pretty much given me a reason to never stop talking, if this is how you shut me up.
Yeah, I guess you geeks move in strange, mysterious, self-mutilating ways that fly way over my head. I'll just stick to shooting and punching things and looking really fucking good while I'm at it.
[ He casts another appraising look around the room and -- the shelves do look good. And while Peter's not bad when it comes to repairs on the ship or MacGyvering stuff together, he doubts he would've been able to manage this as well as Gaige has. ]
Y'know, you should probably take a break. You've been at it for a while.

[ She had a smart-ass reply to that, but then he sort of freezes up and she can't make sense of what she's feeling from him and just sort of blinks ]
Peter?
Peter?
Oh, don't worry. I won't always shut you up like this.
