[ pulling away from him, she shoves at his shoulder. ] Shut up.
[ she'll be ready for jokes about this night never. she's tired of his apologies and she's not okay with him implying he could've died. he's immortal; he can't and will never die.
she returns to where she had been perched, this time wrapping her arms tightly around his middle and flattening her palms against his spine. if he asked her, she would deny that it's her attempt at hugging him.
( that hadn't actually hurt but he gets why she'd done it. he let's her slide closer and hug him against her and use that as his apology. he hadn't meant to imply that he could have died and that he might not have been here in the future. )
You don't have to move. I'm comfortable and you're not heavy. You can stay like this for awhile.
[ he's comfortable. it really shouldn't make her feel anything—it's not a big deal at all—but he's comfortable with her despite everything that had been brought up tonight from their shared past. sometimes it's worth being reminded because even the formidable katherine pierce overthinks at times.
she relaxes her grip around him, but only rests her chin more comfortably on his shoulder. she tilts her head so she can rest the side of her temple against his hair. ]
I should really pick a nurse's outfit so that the next time you get shot, I can look the part.
I don't know if I should focus on the nurse's outfit or the fact that you think I'm going to get shot again.
( he doesn't want to get shot again but he knows the odds are probably good that something will happen. he just hopes it's not as bad as what he experienced tonight. )
But you really don't even need to do that, you know. Just wear the lingerie again and I'll be healed in moments.
[ stefan getting shot is something she would like to avoid for the rest of eternity, especially if they risk him experiencing a repeat of tonight.
katherine pulls back from him and raises her finger before looking at him pointedly. ] I want to make one thing clear. [ her voice lacks any scary sternness, although it's very clear she's determined for the universe to heed her request. ] You're not allowed to get shot ever again. If you do, this isn't happening again. [ she gestures with a wave of her hand between them, her state of nakedness, and the fact that he wants her to wear lingerie again. ]
[ she wrinkles her nose at that, shaking her head. no, that doesn't sound logical at all... although, if anyone ever does try to shoot stefan again, they probably won't be alive to regret it. she doesn't want to tell him that, though—at least, not yet. ]
I want to dissuade you from ever being in the line of fire. [ curving her fingers around his shoulders, she taps them against his skin as she pretends to mull a thought over.
pursing her lips thoughtfully, she muses aloud, ] Maybe I should just tie you up so you never get hurt again.
( stefan watches her face to see if she's serious or not. but, with katherine, when she wants to wear a poker face, she does it very, very well.
so, all stefan does is smile and laugh quietly. )
While that might be fun, I don't know if i want to stay like that for too long. My arms might start to hurt and I think I'd get a little bored if I was just left there on my own.
( he doesn't think she'd be there with him twenty four hours a day. she would get bored or annoyed with him. )
[ she arches a brow. ] Who says you'd be left there on your own?
[ she would be there, duh. there's no need to worry about boredom when the most entertaining person will be present and intent on ensuring he has a very good time. the more katherine thinks on it, the more she thinks of a plan for it.
she slides a hand to the back of his neck and starts playing with the hair there.
feigning thoughtfulness, she looks down at him and gasps. ] I could show you my best lingerie then.
[ katherine tries to stifle her smile by pressing her lips together. she shakes her head. ] No.
[ it's still nice lingerie in her opinion, but she has a feeling other lingerie might have a better chance of making his head explode. and katherine... kind of wants to see stefan's reaction. maybe it's dangerous and stupid to crave it, but she'd bought her lingerie for herself and now she definitely wants to share it with him. ]
There are my corsets from 1864. You don't thnk those are better?
[ she presses her lips together to try and hide her smile. she hates the way her heartbeat picks up a little in its rhythm. ] Next time, then.
[ granted, he'd have his work cut out for him when it comes to removing those corsets. all the laces and components... she wonders how patient he'll be before he potentially rips her outfits apart.
shifting against him, she makes a noise in the back of her throat. ] I might need to borrow your car to bring those over. Unless you want people to see me in them...
( for some reason, that just makes stefan laugh before he kisses the top of her head again. )
Usually you just take it. But, that's fine, you can use my car. There's plenty of space in the closets.
( he has a lot of rooms and that means a lot of space for her clothes. he keeps his mostly contained to his own room but they both haven't talked about how more and more of her clothes have made their way over to him. )
[ a few of her things have definitely moved from her townhouse to his house, namely makeup, shoes, and some of her clothes. katherine has found herself looking for a particular pair of shoes to only remember that they're at his house and not her own. it's not something she's ever really experienced before. she thinks if she tells him, he'll make a big deal about it.
there's nothing really big about this. ]
I'm not asking. [ she shakes her head pitifully. ] I'm informing you that I will either have to pack my dresses into your tiny car or I will have to wear them out and about for everyone to see me as I drive myself back here. [ she feigns a sigh. ] If only I had a driver...
( he would, of course, be the driver she needed but he's just amused by how much she insists on taking his car or have him drive her around in his car. )
And yet, if I don't wake up with you, I wake up and my car's gone. Always my car. Never your car or the motorcycle. Always my car.
[ she shrugs carelessly. ] I don't know how to use a motorcycle.
[ she's still not completely sold on it being the best mode of transportation when he has a very sexy car that she can drive herself around in. the motorcycle ruins her hair and dictates her shopping to be very, very minimal.
smiling mischievously at him, she brushes her fingers through the hair at the nape of his neck. ] And your car is sexy. A lot of people look at me when I drive it.
( he's not jealous, he just hadn't known that was happening. and while he wants to know who looks at her and how they're looking, he doesn't go that far. he doesn't need to know all that. not really. )
Is that really the only reason you take it? Because you like that people look at you?
[ katherine looks like she's going to say yes, that is the only reason why she takes it. but she glances over his shoulder and grits her teeth for a moment. ] I like taking it because it's your stupid car.
[ don't make a big deal out of it, stefan. she likes it because it's his, and she likes stefan a lot. one plus one. it's a very easy question to understand in her humble opinion.
looking at him pointedly, she teases, ] And people look at me when I'm driving it because it's a pretentious sports car.
[ does he really want an honest answer to that? it's like pulling teeth to admit that she likes his things because she likes him.
but he does have a point. katherine lives to prove him wrong, and if he wants to hear her say she likes something of his without seeming to struggle to accept that she does, then that's fine. she'll give it to him.
she looks at him pointedly and smiles. ] I like your cock. [ she'll let that settle for a moment. considering she's still sitting astride him with him inside of her, she thinks there's no evidence to support otherwise. ] Did that seem like I was pulling teeth?
[ while that's going to come back and bite her in the ass inevitably, it's the truth. ]
( okay, he doesn't expect her to say that so when she does, he jolts a little and shifts. he doesn't think he's going to get hard for a little while but he's still inside of her and she's still warm around him so his body reacts. )
No, because that's something physical. We're always going to be good at that. But say something else. Say you like something else about me that isn't a part of my body or something I do when we have sex.
[ he moves and she remembers just how sensitive she is. she presses her fingers a little harder into the back of his neck as if that's capable of stopping him from shifting too much.
she thinks she knows why he's asking, which is why she doesn't outright ask him why he wants to know. isn't this enough?
looking over his head, she bites her bottom lip in annoyance as she does her best not to appear like what she's about to say is the equivalent of pulling teeth. she wants to prove him wrong. she's going to prove him wrong.
it's why she takes her time and convinces herself it's okay to admit it. the worst he can do is not give it to her.
making sure she looks at him, she takes a moment to guarantee she won't glance away. ] I like it when you hold me.
( stefan's honestly not sure if she's going to do it. he watches her steel herself, watches her psych herself up and waits patiently.
he's not sure what he's thinking she'll say but it's not that. it's not that but he smiles, a little wider than usual and leans forward to kiss her gently.
it means she shifts and moves inside of her again, drawing a light gasp from him but he has to kiss her. )
[ she honestly doesn't know what she had expected. stefan to reject her? laugh in her face? the reason she acts like it's pulling teeth when she admits anything that she likes is because of that ridiculous fear. what if someone decides to take that away from her now that she's confessed she likes it?
katherine does her best not to smile, but the tension in her does disappear. she lets out a quiet breath as her shoulders seem to slump. ]
Well... [ she looks down at him and lets her fingers brush against his neck in a very mini and gentle massage. ] Maybe you should do it.
[ did he really expect her to ask him if he could please hold her right now? pfft. ]
