[ lots of sippy cup and potty training, and mako doesn't envy what raleigh has to do for their kid. she spares a few minutes before she emerges from the shower, rustling for a shirt and shorts before she climbs into bed with him, clean and daisy fresh. ]
[ raleigh's patient. he reads the comic section while she showers, though the paper is going to the side once she slides into bed next to him, and he makes a show of wiggling down to her level and fanning himself. ]
Now Miss Mori, don't go talking all dirty to me. Talk like that could go get a girl all hot and bothered.
[ Mako laughs and kisses him, snuggling up and meeting him halfway because she's missed times like these, all sweetness and domesticity. ]
Furniture shopping, antiqueing, buying baby food and diapers. [ She noses him happily. ] Finding a carpet we could do naughty things on when Yancy's asleep.
[ He's the best stay at home mom dad ever. Mako's never bought the convention of men bringing home the bacon, and it means a lot to her that Raleigh is different, that he's understanding and willing to take a domestic role. She loves him for it, so very much.
mako, no, eskimo kisses aren't making out. now stop talking and kiss him properly — actually, fuck that, he'll take the incentive and slide even closer, touch her cheek before sliding his hand back to cradle her skull and slotting their mouthes together in a deep, slow kiss. ]
[ omg eskimo kisses are like the foreplay to making out!
but this is better. kissing raleigh like her life depends on it matters, and she's missed him and she's happy with this, adoring the way his mouth feels against hers. she pulls him against her, tangling their limbs together. ]
[ just like marines learn how to sleep whenever they get the chance, stay at home dad's learn to make out literally whenever they can, no smooching foreplay necessary.
mako pulls them together, but raleigh takes the initiative to roll on top of her and wiggle between her legs. her skin is still a little damp, still a little warm from the heat of the shower, and her shorts ruck up easily when he nestles between her thighs. the only difference between them and horny teenagers is that they're not worried about their parents coming home, and raleigh doesn't immediately start humping her. he's more than capable of kissing her without popping a boner, and is content to lick along the seam of her lips. ]
[ This? This is good. Mako is content with Raleigh's kisses, adoring the way he takes it slowly -- reminds her that this is what she's missed. It's the sweetness of intimacy, a connection reforged even without sex, and she's running her fingers through his hair, tender and yearning.
She loves him, and it's never more clear in moments like these, where she parts her lips and invites him in, her thighs parted to accommodate him comfortably, savouring the weight of him before she hums. ]
[ That's not fat she's feeling; Mako's hands are trailing over his shoulders and biceps, appreciative. And it's shamefully gross how he hasn't seemed to have gained weight at all. ]
[ he's got his nose in her neck, and is dragging his teeth along the chords of her neck, and you feel that, mako? that is the biggest grin curling his lips, and the way he bumps their jaws is just the cockiest thing. ]
Who knew lifting baby carseats and groceries could be such a workout, you know?
My almighty husband. [ Mako laughs quietly against him, tickled and blushing -- she's most sensitive there, he neck, and he makes her shiver and her toes curl. Pressing up against him, her hand splays over the small of his back, underneath his shirt before working her way up. She admires the ripple of those muscles, and is grinning at Raleigh's cockiness -- you bet your sweet ass she can feel every bit of that smile, and then some. ]
You're not using our baby for weight training, are you?
[ which is true. raleigh will bench press him sometimes under the guise of an airplane and yancy cackles like a hyena. he seems to remember mako making considerably lewder noises when he lifted her, though he was usually bouncing her on his cock, or hauling her over his shoulder and smacking her butt. now, shhhh, he's kissing at your mouth again because don't talk about babies when you're making out!!! ]
[ Yancy loves it, that much is obvious, and so does Mako, albeit in entirely different ways; and there would always be a primitive part of her that delights in Raleigh's strength, in the way he holds her and the way they go at it like rabbits, wild and passionate.
She's smiling and kissing him back before she's taking advantage and rolling him over onto his back, straddling him properly. Looking down at him fondly, she murmurs: ] I do love you, you know.
[ he lets himself be bossed around by an infant, and pushed around by his short life partner. raleigh becket is the biggest pushover and willingly flops onto his back. when she straddles him, he can run his palms the length of her thighs and idly tickle her knees. ]
[ that's because he might be a toughie on the outside but he's a huge, gorgeous, squishy marshmallow where it counts and Mako knows it. She's grinning at him, squirming when he tickles her, but she sobers, just a little -- there's something she's always wanted to ask, and now... well, it's a good time, right?
Supporting herself with her hands on his chest, she pauses for a moment before she says. ]
[ raleigh marshmallow becket is very perceptive, and while he might not know if her impending question is dark or light hearted, he can tell it's a long time coming and might have some weight to it. so he shrugs a little awkwardly beneath her because, yeah, of course mako can ask him anything. ]
[ Mako hesitates, because she might know him better than anyone, would understand his secrets and quirks and his habits and reactions -- but she could never predict his answer to a question she'd kept buried for months and months, ever since she'd been pregnant with Yancy. ]
well, if he'd been completely honest with himself, no. but only because drifting with her, living with her, having kids with her — that all seemed much more real than the ideology of marriage. their partnership ran deeper than rings and a ceremony and shared finances, but if that's what she wanted...
raleigh's grinning, much like he had when she'd told him that she was pregnant, and sitting up a little. ]
[ Mako eases back a little when he sits up, instinctively accommodating as she contemplates his grin (he always is adorable, and does he know that his smile can light up a room?) as she finds herself silently grateful for the fact that it's a little too dim to see the blush on her cheeks. ]
I could be. [ because, you know, Mako's never subscribed to the adage of the boy on one knee in front of a girl, with some soppy promise that she and Raleigh have both have already lived, many times over. (Also, she's missing a ring, but she could improvise.) ]
