MHA #6, Sunday Morning

[firstofitskind]

Over the last few months, Liam had fallen back on a number of old habits, including the one where he only bothered with sleeping the few hours a night that his body required. Instead, he kept busy doing other things, including regular runs around the island. He was on his way back to the apartment for a shower after one such run just now, as a matter of fact.

After that (and making sure the mice- and squirrel!Verity- had breakfast), it was probably tea and a breakfast sandwich at the Perk. What an exciting life he led.

[ooc: for the wiiiiiife.]

“You’re gonna make me sleep in tomorrow, aren’t you?” Liam asked. He sounded terribly put out about the prospect, yes.

... Though, okay, he’d probably wake up early regardless, but with her there in bed with him he’d be easy enough to convince to stay.

"Absolutely," Verity declared. "You're allowed to get up long enough to make me coffee and breakfast and then it's right back to bed."

[firstofitskind]

“Yes ma’am,” Liam said, solemn tone tinged with a hint of amusement.

[arboreal_priestess]

"We may be allowed to get out of bed by lunch," Verity said. "Maybe."

No promises.

“We’re gonna need to keep our energy up,” Liam said innocently. “For all the sex.”

“And I should probably call and cancel tomorrow’s appointment, then.” Therapy could wait a week, he had months’ worth of Verity-time to catch up on here.

[arboreal_priestess]

"Tomorrow's appointment?" she asked before she did the math and realized what day it was. "Ohhhh! Oh. I mean...?"

Only if he wanted to!

[firstofitskind]

Liam shrugged, not that she could see it with her back to him as it was.

"I think I can handle missing a week," he assured her. "Especially for such a good cause."

"Well, if you're sure," Verity said, leaning back against him. Made it less comfortable for him to wash her hair, probably, but she was comfy. And closer, so she didn't think he'd mind. "I just. Don't wanna let you go for awhile."

[firstofitskind]

He super did not mind. And besides, wasn't letting the shampoo sit for a few minutes a thing?

(That was conditioner, Liam. But never mind.)

"Funny," he murmured, nuzzling at her shoulder. "I was thinking exactly the same thing."
