This is crack. Crack is good. At times you should say YES! to crack.

Mun, I beg you. Please close that window.

I... I can't stop looking for some reason if you don't.

I'm surprised you aren't mad at me about this. I don't respect my parents at all.

[hasstandards]

I generally think people oughtta respect their parents, but I'd make an exception for yours. Your mum's got no right to say what she does about you.

[notintehkitchen]

But it's true.

I could be... smaller.

[But that would require less intake of bacon.]

[hasstandards]

Oi. What did we say about bringin' up your weight?

[notintehkitchen]

I know, I know but...

It still hurts.

[And people like Sniper don't have to worry about their weight.]

[hasstandards]

[He sighs as he leans back into the floor, pulling his arms tighter around her again. He knows how that feels, even if he'll never admit to it.]

Well, I know there ain't much I can do about it. I'd plug someone fulla holes if I thought it'd make things right. Still... if there is somethin' I can do, you'll tell me, won't you?

[notintehkitchen]

Of course I will, promise.

[Closing her eyes as she rests against him, Pyro whimpers as she thinks of something embarrassing.]

I'm not crushing you at all?

[hasstandards]

Not at all. And even if you were, I wouldn't complain. I'd rather you be here with me than not.

[Sniper not complaining? Now that's a feat all on its own. Have a kiss to the top of your head, Pyro.]

[notintehkitchen]

[Da'aw. That makes her nuzzle him again. She wants to cuddle you forever Sniper but it's harder for her to say that out-loud.]

You can say some pretty cute and sweet things sometimes.

[hasstandards]

[He snorts, but refrains from commenting on that word.]

I'm not a bad bloke when I try.

[notintehkitchen]

Not one bit.

[Kissing him lightly on the lips, she smiles.]

Mr. Hawk is a very good person, better then he thinks.

[hasstandards]

I can't think of too many who'd agree with you on that.

[notintehkitchen]

My opinion is the most important to you though, right?

[hasstandards]

[That got a grin out of him.]

Yeah. It is.

[notintehkitchen]

I'm really happy to hear that.

[hasstandards]

Just don't you go and forget me again. I'm not sure I can convince you I'm such a nice guy three times. I was lucky to manage it a second time.

[notintehkitchen]

I won't forget you. I'm going to try my best not to do anything so stupid ever again. I realize I must of really hurt Mr. Hawk and I'm sorry.

[hasstandards]

You were angry. I'm the one who made ya that way.

[He takes a deep breath, flooding his senses with the smell of her hair. How awful that time was for him is another thing he's not keen to admit.]

[notintehkitchen]

And I accused you of something you didn't do.

[He might be reminded just how much of lavender and ash she smells. Oddly, for a Pyro she doesn't smell too bad despite what others might think that she marinates in her suit all day.]

[hasstandards]

[That smell teases his memory as he breathes it in again, as though her familiar scent might help him forget that awful time.]

I'll be better to you this time around, luv. I promise.

[notintehkitchen]

That's why you proposed to me, yes?

[hasstandards]

Yeah. Somethin' like that.

[Accidental proposal or not, he's apparently in for the long run now.]

[notintehkitchen]

[The things he does to protect her feelings.]

I'm glad.

[hasstandards]

[For someone who claims to not have a lot of feelings, he sure goes out of his way to keep her happy. He can't help that guilt gnawing on his gut, though- even if he's doing what he thinks is best for her, he's still keeping the truth from her, which he promised he wouldn't do.]

Pyro, I. Um.

[On the other hand, words aren't his strong point, especially when his heart is thudding away in his chest.]

[notintehkitchen]

[The look she gives him back is one that is only shared between lovers. Pyro isn't at all worried about anything it seems.]

Yes, Mr. Hawk? What is it?
