MHA #14, Saturday Morning
Well, chalk up another successful date night. For a certain definition of success, in any case. There had definitely been dinner. And dessert. Watts and Steven might have even actually sat down on the couch to watch the film but that remained to be seen (heh) in SP.
Where they definitely failed was in taking things across the hall to Watts's apartment before they fell into bed together. But now it was morning and warm and happy and wrapped around the man he loved, Watts didn't even recall the fact that taking things over to his apartment had ever been part of the plan.

Regardless, ideas of any sort of practical nature had long since vanished. Much nicer to be asleep on a Saturday morning while being held by the man you loved. Especially if being held meant it was easier to use his chest as a pillow. Or at least to unconsciously try to move over and make that happen.

"Mmm," he said intelligibly, in an attempt to vocalise that contentment.

Coffee would be nice, soon, but that could wait until both of them were a little more awake. He was loathe to leave while Steven was still fast asleep.

"You are wonderful," he said, just so that was clear.

His trousers were easy enough to spot, but as for a shirt- he'd no idea where his undershirt ended up, and his actual shirt... he'd been about to pull it on when he noticed with dismay that a couple of the buttons were missing.
Ah, yes, he recalled now. Steven had perhaps grown a little impatient with regards to how long it took him to undress and had... helped the process along. He hadn't minded at the time (the opposite, in fact), but now?
Well, perhaps it didn't matter. Wasn't as if there was anyone else around. So he headed towards the kitchen, sans shirt. Though not without a glance backwards to see that Steven had somehow already fallen back asleep.

She took a few minutes to put her things in Marc's room and then check on her plants. Once satisfied that they had been well cared for she thought perhaps it would be all right for her to make a cup of tea before retreating to the balcony for a while. It would be easy enough to take one of the chairs out so that she could have her tea there.
She washed her hands in the sink before filling the kettle and setting it on the stove to heat up, then puttered around quietly to get down a mug and a tea strainer for one of her morning blends.

Instead she got an eyeful of shirtless detective.
The spoon in her hand fell to the floor and her eyes followed its trajectory and stayed glued there. She hadn't even got past bare chest to see who this person was other than NOT Marc or Steven.
"I'm so sorry," she whispered quickly. "I must be in the wrong apartment, I completely apologize for my intrusion and I'll..."
But wait. It couldn't be the wrong apartment. Not with her plants all here.
"Or... I... Ummm... I'm just very sorry and I will... come back another time."
Except that there was a shirtless detective blocking the door and there was no way she was going to move any closer to him!

Annnd then his phone was joining the spoon on the floor. Thank goodness the salesperson who'd sold it to him had also recommended a nice, sturdy case. Not that he was thinking about that at the moment. Not that he was thinking much of anything besides Oh no, no, no, no, no, as he stood frozen in place. If Nell was saying anything, it didn't quite register.
no subject
"If you maybe - if you could just -" If he'd move somewhere, she could flee.
"I'm sorry," she said again miserably.
no subject
"I- I should-"
Should what? Finish the sentence, probably, for starters.
no subject
Well, anything, really.
They were both going to stand here frozen, weren't they? Why yes, yes, they were.
no subject
Also, he was quite certain it was his fault, all things considered. After all, she was a resident here (however temporary). She had a key.
"No, no," he managed. "You're- you should-."
He and Steven had, in fact, discussed the possibility of this very scenario last night, he recalled now. Why hadn't they followed through on their plan to go back across to his apartment? If only they had, then none of this would have happened.
no subject
Flee. That's what she could do. She could flee. The woods would be so very much better.
