A Simple AU

[sv_danii]

Nelly looked up at Oliver, considered what she felt, considered what she could feel him feeling, and made a decision. Then she leaned up, reached up, and tugged him down to kiss him firmly on the mouth with every ounce of want in her.

She looked over at him for a moment before shaking her head. "Well, one, I don't need it. I've had total reproductive control since like... two years ago." She breathed out a little . "And I dunno. I mean, I'm going to have access to my trust fund in a couple of years. And you've already got a job and everything. So we could do this if you think you're ready." She found his eyes and made sure she was meeting them as she spoke. "But if you're not ready, you're not ready. And I'm not sure I'm ready. So I don't think we should."

[super_lars]

He leaned down to kiss her softly. "I want them, but we are not ready to raise four infants right now." He pulled her closer and took a breath. "But, we could take up to six weeks to think about it, if you want to." Letting them go would be hard.

[sv_danii]

She reached up to stroke his cheek. "Would it be easier for you if I wait until you're busy to... take care of things?" She wouldn't tell him when so he didn't stress out. It'd just be done. He wouldn't have to feel when it happened.

[super_lars]

He nodded and looked slightly ashamed. "I am sorry, Nel."

[sv_danii]

She shook her head and leaned up to kiss his forehead. "It's fine, sweetheart. Don't apologize." She stroked his hair a few times. "Don't ever be ashamed of what we have. What we're going to be. What we did." She couldn't help a faint grin at that. "And it was pretty good. Fantastic. Best I've ever had." He got a little peck on the temple. "So don't focus on the negatives."

[super_lars]

He nodded and lifted her up into his arms. "We will do beautiful things together, Nel."

[sv_danii]

She nodded firmly at him before leaning down to kiss him lightly on the lips. Then she pulled back to smile at him before- "Oh hey," and she tapped the top of one of her breasts before letting a finger slide down to point at the nipple. "Is this your thing too? Cause otherwise, I'm turning this part off ASAP." A brief chuckle. "But if it turns you on or, you know, does the calming thing, I'll leave it alone."

[super_lars]

"I...." He followed her finger down with his eyes and held her tighter. "I cannot ask you to do such a thing to your body for me. Thought it is pleasant."

[sv_danii]

She rolled her eyes just a little before tugging him forward, urging him to go ahead. "Dude, I'm down for it if it does it for you. Otherwise, it's just a lot of feeling sore and getting turned on by my own shirts." She huffed out. "And pumping is a bitch. Not to mention just being useless when we don't have any infants in."

[super_lars]

"Then, you should turn it off. I do not want you uncomfortable."

[sv_danii]

She reached down and turned his head to look her in the eyes. "Listen. If you're going to take care of it, I enjoy it. I just don't like dealing with it if no one's going to have fun." She nudged him again. "Go on. Seriously. The most dangerous thing there is that it might set us both off on another round of sex." She grinned and kissed the tip of his nose. "And we have time to make up for."

[super_lars]

"I enjoy it, and it helps with things." He nuzzled into her throat. "Just let me know if it becomes troublesome."

[sv_danii]

She raised an eyebrow. "When, exactly, have I ever done anything I didn't explicitly want to do?" She pressed a kiss to the corner of his lips before arching her throat for him to nuzzle as he liked. "You know me, Ollie. I always do exactly what I want."

[super_lars]

"I know. I love that about you."

He nuzzled a moment longer, and then nuzzled down to let himself have what he wanted.

[super_danii]

...she wasn't wrong about the consequences. But that was why she insisted that when they came back, they came back to Oliver's apartment instead of the Center. Mostly because there was a shower within a private space here as opposed to the Center.

"Because I'm going to need a shower." A glance up at him with a smile. "And you're probably going to need one too."

[super_lars]

He smiled softly and started the water for her. "I could shower with you, if you wanted. For efficiency."

[super_danii]

She looked at him and then the shower. "For efficiency." ...there was nothing efficient about it. And half the tiles were cracked by the time Oliver carried her out. But they were actually clean. Clean and, once they were dry, curled up on his bed. She ducked her head down into a pillow and breathed in. "Mmmm, your bed smells like you." And she flopped back almost exactly as her stomach growled.

[super_lars]

He rolled over to kiss her and stroke over her belly. "And now it will smell of you too." He nuzzled their noses together. "I love you, Eleanore." And then he heard and felt her stomach growl. "But, I should return you to the Center now."

[super_danii]

"I love you too, Oliver. Always." She grumbled and curled up against him. "Dun wanna. Can't we order in some food and stay here?" She looked up at him. "I'll go home tomorrow. As far as anyone knows, I just spent the night." And she'd done that often enough.

[super_lars]

"All right, Nel."

He cuddled up again, not feeling like denying her anything tonight.

"What would you like to order?"

[super_danii]

She glanced up at him. "I dunno. We never get stuff in at the Center. What sounds good to you?"

[super_lars]

"Steak." It was what he usually wanted. "But, that would be difficult to order. We could try pizza or Indian."

[super_danii]

"We can do steak if you do Chinese," she pointed out, "it'd just be mixed with vegetables, which are also good for you. Sound like a plan?"

[super_lars]

He smiled and nodded and reached over to grab his netbook. "August Moon is right across the street."

[super_danii]

She leaned up to kiss his cheek. "Perfect. I know what I want, then." And she tucked up against him and clung close as he pulled up the website, nuzzling up to his throat.
