She's still not entirely certain how ghoul-hunting in an allegedly haunted Vermont city got them crammed into the back of a cab in New York City with a driver who reeks of marijuana and cheetos and has horrible taste in music, but... here they are.

He blushes a little, but smiles at her, too. "Thanks. I would have missed that..."

From:

doctormagnus

"Any time."

She finishes her food and stretches out next to him, expression content but tired.

From:

w_zimmerman

He finishes his own food and climbs to his feet to dispose of the containers. "You've had a long day. Get some rest..."

From:

doctormagnus

"Are you going to shower? It'll feel good," she says, eyes a bit glossy.

From:

w_zimmerman

"I probably should after all that running around. I'll try not to wake you when I come to bed..."

From:

doctormagnus

She smiles sleepily at him and nods, then slides under the covers and closes her eyes. "There's another robe in the bathroom," she mumbles.

From:

w_zimmerman

Will smiles and thanks her, then climbs into the shower, taking advantage of the near-endless supply of hot water that hotels always seem to have. Even the mirror in the bedroom is fogged over by the time he finally emerges.

Careful not to wake her, he slides under the covers.

Between the hot shower, the strenuous activities from today, the food coma, and the comfortable mattress, she doesn't wake when the mattress dips.

From:

w_zimmerman

Will passes out almost instantly, mumbling quietly to himself as he dozes.

From:

doctormagnus

She always seeks out heat in her sleep, so naturally starts to wriggle her way over to the most convenient heat source: Will.

From:

w_zimmerman

Will is a naturally affectionate man. When someone snuggles close to him in bed, he snuggles right back...

From:

doctormagnus

She lets out a happy sigh and buries her face in his throat.

From:

w_zimmerman

Will makes a happy noise at that, pressing his nose into her hair and mumbling her name.

From:

doctormagnus

She suddenly jerks awake at the sound of a ringing phone, mumbling in confusion as she tries to blink the haziness from her eyes.

From:

w_zimmerman

"No, five more minutes," he groans as the ringing pulls him from his slumber.

From:

doctormagnus

She props herself up and reaches over him for her phone, answering it with a groggy voice.

From:

w_zimmerman

Will blushes and tries not to sputter at their respective positions, clearing his throat and not sure whether to hope it's an emergency or not.

From:

doctormagnus

"Kate," she murmurs, rubbing her face and pushing her hair back so it's not in Will's face. "Yes, we're fine... New York, yes. Oh, they do? That's wonderful news. Thank you."

She finally hangs up and presses against him once again to put her phone back.

From:

w_zimmerman

Swallowing hard, he asks quietly, "Uh... everything okay?"

From:

doctormagnus

"New York has our ghoul. We can visit in the morning," she says, hair falling back down and brushing one side of his face. She really should move...

From:

w_zimmerman

Will swallows hard and tries not to stare. This being Helen Magnus, he fails miserably...

From:

doctormagnus

She absently wets her lips, quite liking the feeling of his chest and torso under hers. The hand next to his side propping herself up twitches a bit as she considers moving.
