If they care about you half as much as you do about them, I think they can accept more than you think, Kitt. Humans have a funny way of doing what's least expected of them.

[He nods, slowly, not convinced] Maybe. I'm not ready to test that theory just yet.

[Her head tips to the side as she regards him] What horrible thing do you think is going to happen?

Nothing. Probably nothing. At the best, they will be surprised, but they will accept it. At the worst, they will consider me to be malfunctioning.

[She nodded and brought his hand up to kiss the back of it] If the latter, then Bonnie will run a thorough check of your systems and find nothing amiss, which will lead them in a round-about way back to the former. But I'm not pushing, Kitt. If you'd like to keep it private for longer, that's fine. I was just wondering why.

[Which could be even worse, in some ways, though he wasn't going to voice it]

Your logic is sound, Nika. But I'd still like to keep it between us for now. [He quite liked the added element of danger]

[She could almost hear that thought and her lips quirked] Kitt.. have I turned you into a 'bad boy'? [Another thought that was more than a little appealing]

Whatever would give you that idea? [He'll play innocent]

[She'll find that cute] The smile you try to hide whenever you mention something 'against the rules'.

[And so she should] Smiling? I'm not smiling. [He's totally smiling, and trying to hide it] I'm not a rule-breaker.

[She does] Mmm... then what's this? [She traces her finger over the small curve of his lip] More of a rule-bender, hmm?

[He purses his lips together and mumbles through them, but not before briefly thinking about how good that felt] Nothing?

Mmmhmm? [Nodding, holding up his thumb and forefinger just a tiny bit apart]

[Laughing, she taps his nose again and rests her head back on his chest] You're a horrible liar, Kitt.

[Her hand came up and spread the distance of the gap further] Mmmhmm...

I'll have to talk to Bonnie about correcting that oversight. [Mmm, nice]

[He is SHOCKED she would do that!]

I think you should leave it. I find it another of your 'cute' qualities. [Very. She snuggled happily against him]

[She is very amused at his shock and adds smug to her list of current feelings]

Hmph. [Yes, he humphed. While pulling her legs into his lap]

[HMPH]

Bah, humbug? [She bit back the laugh and curled up closer to him]

[SMIRK]

That. [He tried to pretend he was offended, but it probably wasn't working]

[MRF]

Duly noted. Humbug logged. [No, it wasn't, but she still found it terribly adorable]

[chortles]

Thank you. [He nodded once, reasonably placated. HMPH]

[That small nod had her grinning again, and she hid it by pressing a light kiss under his jaw] Well, now that we're here, what would you suggest? Star gazing? Parcheesi?

[That was even better at placating him]

Star gazing. Definitely. I can even zoom in on them, if you'd like.

[She was unaware of this for the moment and instead was excited about the prospect of stargazing with a zoom feature] That would be amazing.

I got the idea from Doctor Who. [An embarrassed blush went along with the admission]

A fan of sci-fi, are we? [She finds the blush adorable]
