[ It's growing darker and darker outside her window as the sun slowly starts to sink low behind the roofs of houses and beyond the horizon. It's cold out, she can see the trees almost looking as though they're shivering in the cold. Her garden hasn't been winterized either-- he's gonna kill her for that.

Or at least he would if he would get here already. She understands that he had an emergency meeting to attend to but he's LATE and the food is getting cold and the candles are gonna go out and she's getting more and more nervous about her gift for him and, well-- she can't remember the last time she was like this for Sinterklaas. ]

[ You are such a goddamn cutie, Ned.

She brings the trashcan over and pulls off the lid, setting it aside before clearing off the rest of the table and cleaning up as he picks up the pieces of the dish. ]

I didn't mean to... catch you off your guard.

[ She THINKS that's what she did. She isn't completely sure. ]

[Goddamn indeed are you trying to make him blush.

The way his mouth twitches down - not a frown but an awkward attempt at a cover up of one that won't stay down, because, well, drinking - is probably telling. When he drops his first pile into the trash he mutters his answer and immediately spins back to the sink once it's out.]

Like that spot.

[bellabelgium]

[ She's walking back towards the sink as he spins back around, carefully bringing the dishes over as she looks at him curiously. ]

What was that?

[handelaar]

[JUST. Gonna clear his throat and pick out some more dish pieces. He isn't blushing, really.]

[bellabelgium]

[ Yes he is. Yes he is because she can see it and it intrigues her. You can't play this game, brother. She's a pro at it. ]

...getting warm, broer?

[handelaar]

[He can try! Sort of. Really at this point it's out of stubbornness and principle that he tries.]

Maybe.

[Mumble grumble.]

[bellabelgium]

I'd like to know what you were mumbling about.

[handelaar]

Just... woulda been nice. If I wasn't holding a dish.

[bellabelgium]

Ah, well-- you could always put them down and I could try it again.

[handelaar]

[He totally pauses and purses his lips, staring down at the pieces in the sink.]

Hn.

[Sets his hands down on the counter but doesn't turn around.]

[bellabelgium]

[ She watches him with that same sweet smile, waiting for him to say something before he sets down the dishes. She takes the hint and smiles to herself before walking over, a gentle hand resting on his waist before she's getting up on her toes, her lips brushing the soft skin below his hairline gently, breath warm and slow. ]

[handelaar]

[It's really hard for him not to turn around when he hears her step up, but her hand on his waist immediately has him removing his own hand from the counter to cover hers, twine their fingers and give hers a little squeeze as his eyes slip shut.]

Lower'n that.

[Definitely the wine speaking on that one. Can I make a "Dutch courage" joke here.]

[bellabelgium]

[ She feels that squeeze and smiles against his skin, sighing softly as she kisses lower. ]

Here?

[handelaar]

Ah -

[He swallows, because for some reason that smile he can feel is hot, too.]

Almost.

[bellabelgium]

[ Her other hand rests gently on his arm, fingers curling lightly into his sleeve as her lips press just a little lower, nose brushing his skin now too. ]

[handelaar]

Yeah.

[Breathed out even though she didn't actually ask that time, arms tensing for a second as he licks his lips. Funny how they've gone this long and she'd never stumbled upon that spot - and he'd never brought it up.]

lol So I should have told you to backtag about three tags ago. OOP.

[bellabelgium]

[ It just makes it all the more exciting. She's always believed herself to be the single person on Earth who knows the most about him, so to discover something new makes her emotions swell and churn in new and exciting ways.

She smiles when she hits the spot, kissing it again, fingers slipping slowly down his arm as her teeth graze his skin lightly. ]
