Canon is House MD. Coming off the bench.

[putbacktogether]

The time off was nice, but it's time to get our shit together. It really is.

[This is hard for her to say. Kari nurses her beer for a moment, trying to find the right way to put this.]

I miss everybody just as much as you do. I'll probably always love Fitz, but he's not coming back for me. But I don't think he or anybody else that's gone quiet would want me to be sitting around waiting for them. I think they'd understand, same as you wouldn't want them all waiting for me.

And we are keeping people waiting, babe. I owe Chase some serious me time. Then there's everything in Chicago. Honestly to me it feels like a mess, one I created because I wanted to have my cake and eat it too. I really need to have a serious sit-down with both those boys, and tell them how I really feel. We keep getting distracted by the pretty and that has to stop.

We've got a couple hours left in the weekend. Let's get out here and at least try to get something accomplished, before everyone thinks we fell off the planet.

I could use some serious me time as well.

[putbacktogether]

[Kari's head snaps up at the sound of Fitz's voice. She looks honestly shocked - and relieved - to see him. Her voice wavers as she speaks.]

I...oh, god, baby, I thought you were gone.

[imruined]

Mun just had some family stuff to see to, but I am here now.

[putbacktogether]

I've been worried sick about you. I've seen all the crazy shit you've had to deal with and I was afraid for you.

[She just might cry, that's how much she's really missed him.]

I really think we do need to spend some private time together. Because I'm gonna cry.

[imruined]

I think that is a good idea. We need some time away, just me and you.

[putbacktogether]

We do. Do you think we can go back up to the house we were at before?

[imruined]

Of course we can, Sweetheart.

[putbacktogether]

Good. I really just want to spend some alone time with you. [Kari's already teary-eyed a little and she pulls him into a tight hug.] God I've missed you so damn much. The mun has gotten sick of me mooning over you.

[imruined]

I want to just spend some time with you too.

[putbacktogether]

[We're sorry she's still clinging to you, Fitz.] Would you mind setting something up, honey? I want you to do it because I want everything the way you want it. [Right now she'd give him pretty much anything he'd ask for.]

I just...I love you so damn much, it makes me crazy.

[imruined]

Will do, babe.

[putbacktogether]

I'm sorry, am I being clingy?

[imruined]

[Slips his arms around her lovingly.]

Mm, not at all Baby.

[putbacktogether]

Okay, good. I've just been worried about you. [She chuckled and relaxed in his arms.] My mun is up to date on your canon and wow. I don't know how you deal with everything.

[imruined]

It's not easy, but spending time with you will always be a welcome respite.

[putbacktogether]

I'm always here for you. Even if we can never officially be together.

[imruined]

By the power of rp? I may just bypass that.

[putbacktogether]

...You would?

If you proposed I'd say yes.

[imruined]

Yes, I would.

[putbacktogether]

I stand by what I said before. I'm not going to ask you to leave your wife. But if that's what you want to do, I'd happily marry you.

[imruined]

Nothing more I want than to spend my life with the woman I love.

[putbacktogether]

You and your mun decide what's best for you. It won't change that I will be yours no matter what you call me.

[imruined]

My mun will do what I want.

[putbacktogether]

I was going to say you're bossy but then I remembered. Yeah. You're the President.
