[ She gives him a flat look for a moment. Her tone, when she speaks, has shifted towards "scolding teacher". ] Peter, what did you do?

[ If it were any other time, he'd smirk and mention that she'd be really good if they did a teacher-student role-playing session, but instead he looks a little sheepish. ]

I'm pretty sure I just gave you your first hickey?

[ He pauses for a beat, then: ] That is your first hickey, right? Some dude on Pandora didn't already claim the title?

All right first of all: first date, first kiss, first boyfriend, first hickey, first... everything. That's all you.

Second of all... [ there's a pause, and she gives him a stern look. ... Then she just sort of grins and shrugs ] Good thing my combat suit covers my neck.

[ He raises an eyebrow, taking on a decidedly roguish look. ]

So, does that mean I get to mark you in other places?

[ In response, she does that thing she does where she angles her head and looks at him through her eyelashes ]

Only if you're good.

[ How is she getting so good at this? is his first thought, and he can't help a reflexive gulp. ]

Yeah, I can manage that.

[ Well, for one, he makes it pretty obvious when she does something he likes. She's pretty perceptive, anyway. ]

I thought so.

[ As his first act of "being good," he grabs the sheets from-- wherever they were pushed, and pulls it over them, and throws and arm over her waist. ]

We're still gonna have that conversation about whips, one of these days.

[ Fine by her. She'll just scoot nice and close. ]

You keep bringing it up. Is there something you need to tell me?

[ He'll be tucking her head beneath his chin, then, matter-of-factly-- ]

You apparently like it rough.

[ She actually turns a little red, before she realizes she really has no cause to be embarrassed. ]

... Apparently I do.

[ If he saw, he would've moved to reassure her. As it is, though, he just gives a slight shrug, smiling a little into her hair. ]

I mean, it's not really surprising. Just as long as I've still got my pretty face at the end of the day, I'm good.

I didn't exactly hear you complaining earlier.

But I'll keep that in mind.

[ Another shrug. ]

I'll admit -- I like it rough, too.

[ She smiles, curling a little closer. She didn't know she was looking for reassurance, but when she gets it she relaxes a bit. ]

I guess it all works out then, doesn't it?

[ He just manages to suppress a sleepy yawn, turning it into a deep inhale instead. ]

You're the perfect woman, and I'm a decent enough guy, so of course it was gonna work out.

"Decent enough"?

No, no. Pretty sure you're perfect, yourself.

Oh, good, see, I was thinkin' it? But I didn't wanna say it aloud, so thanks for savin' me the trouble.

And still so humble.

What can I say? You bring out the best in me.

I have been told that my awesomeness is contagious.

Well, you're rubbing off on me pretty well so far. Stick around long enough, and there's a chance I might actually become a nice guy instead of just a perfect, decent one.

I mean, it'd totally ruin my image as a badass anti-hero, but-- [ He shrugs a shoulder. ] Meh.

Wow. What the hell did I do to make you think I even want you to become a nice guy?

You need to tell me so I can never do it again.

[ He huffs a laugh. ]

Let me keep being Harrison Ford characters , and I'll keep being a bad boy with a heart plated with gold.

Not pure gold, though. We're on a budget, here.

Ah, well. I guess some sacrifices have to be made.
