( that gets a smile. scott wonders why he gets touched over such strange things, but he supposes this is what his life's become. )

For what it's worth, I want to be good for you, too.

But you're already doing a pretty great job, Hope.

[howyoupunch]

[ Another pause. ]

What are you doing, Scott.

[tictacs]

I think it's called "honestly talking about my feelings".

[howyoupunch]

Then I'm confused. I know I'm great, but what exactly am I doing a pretty good job of?

[tictacs]

Not ruining what you have with the "nice guy" that I apparently am.

I don't know, I just--don't want you to worry. About that.

Because it sounded like you were, a little bit.

[howyoupunch]

Oh don't put it in quotes that makes it look worse.

The word I would use is concerned.

You don't need to do anything that you don't want to do just because you've found out that I'm maybe a little kinkier than you thought.

[tictacs]

Yeah, Hope. I know you're weak to me. It's okay.

But there's also that possibility that I'm curious about it

[howyoupunch]

Curious about what exactly? Because if you're curious about how much of a beating you can take we can definitely keep that in the gym. And you already know the answer to that anyway, which seems to be a lot.

[tictacs]

I'm taking that as a compliment

But no it just

Trust right? It involves a lot of trust?

For lack of a better word the thought of that makes me uh

happy

[howyoupunch]

Trust and a degree of masochism.

[ There's a decently sized pause, as she thinks this over. ]

How much do you trust me? And what do you think you would be into?

[tictacs]

If you were telling me how to dismantle a bomb and told me to cut a wire, I'd cut it

And also, really weird--probably saying something about my past and trauma and so on--but

cuffs?

[howyoupunch]

[ Oh wow Scott, you really know how to make a girl fall in love with you, so son of a bitch. ]

That's not that weird.

[ Another pause. ]

We're going to need a safe word.

@scarlethour

[tictacs]

Have you ever seen the movie Matilda?

[scarlethour]

No, should I have?

[tictacs]

I'm asking because if you brought that to my bedside and watched with me it would be awesome.

I think you'll like it.

[scarlethour]

Oh, yes it would be my pleasure to watch a film with you

Fruit and Matilda, that's all you want? I'll get popcorn too, just to be safe

[tictacs]

Well if you're gonna bring popcorn then you have to bring drinks too, Wanda.

Silly.

Well, I was personally thinking something along the lines of that song from Dirty Dancing--the one that goes "I've had the time of my life"?

But I realised maybe I'd have to be able to catch you like Patrick Swayze.

Now I'm good--we both know I'm good--but I'm not THAT good.

I hope you're okay with Can't Take My Eyes Off of You.

[trigeminalheadache]

We could practice? They say that makes perfect.

Not that "perfect" is actually attainable. Nothing's perfect, and that's what makes it so interesting. Now, very good, great, excellent? That's achievable.

I do love that song. It's a good choice.

[tictacs]

You're a good choice.

( this is where he'd kiss her cheek and grin like a cheese, but alas. )

But I would love to be very good, great, and excellent with you for both the foreseeable and unforeseeable future.

And also, if you'd let me, I'd love to practise until I'm as good as fucking Patrick Swayze.

[trigeminalheadache]

[ She is absolutely imagining it, Scott. And blushing. ]

I want to be very good, great, and excellent with you, too.

We can definitely practice, if you can put up with me stepping on your feet.

[tictacs]

Are you kidding me? I love girls who step on my feet. Absolutely love 'em.

Besides, you kiss a lot better than you step.

[trigeminalheadache]

You say that now...

Oh well, kissing, I think I've got the hang of that.

[tictacs]

Harry that is just SICK man!

Come on, let's stick to lunchables! You don't wanna be a cannibal, trust me.

It's only sexy on TV.
