Yes. Hydration. Very important.

[This though? Her drawing patterns on his arm. That's nice. He finds himself lifting that arm, to try and coax her to snuggle up to him. Is she a snuggler? God, please be a snuggler.]

[cleptes]

[Normally, she isn't a snuggler but Bela doesn't want to move and who knows? Maybe it would be nice to do it. She shifts until she is lying next to him and drapes her arm across his chest, making herself settled.

Okay. She's doing this.]

[fourthwalled]

[Yes! He hums a contented sound, arm settling down over her shoulder. He could get used to this. Provided he makes a good enough showing tonight.]

How long have you been in this place, anyway? It's been a few months for me already. I couldn't believe it. Feels like I just got here.

[cleptes]

Almost two months now, and I feel like the time has flown by. [Bela replies, running her fingers down his free arm.]

Did you manage to get yourself a contract?

[fourthwalled]

I did. It's someone who knows a version of me. Different universe, but close enough. Scott Summers? I live in this building with him, actually. First floor.

[He likes those idle touches, returning the favor with a finger tracing a lazy circle on her shoulder.]

What about you? Still looking?

[cleptes]

I haven't met him, but it explains why you got here so quickly. I've also only got introduced to the whole different universe thing in this place.

[ The finger circling her shoulder feels nice so she continues to stroke his arm and just relax. ]

Not looking. I did sign into a contract a couple of days ago - his name is David. Seems like a nice guy.

[fourthwalled]

Glad to hear it! And if he isn't a nice guy, I can break a few bones to get him in line, if you want! I'm helpful like that. Not that I don't think you're perfectly capable of handling yourself. [If they keep up all this nice touching he might just fall asleep before they can fuck again.]

I can't imagine that was just all just fantasy in the western thing. You were hot just ordering me around. I am very into that. Step on me, anytime!

[cleptes]

I'll keep your offer in mind.

[She doesn't think she will need it at all, because David was genuinely nice, and had been through a lot. But a change in topic is welcomed, especially when he calls her hot.]

It's true, I can be quite bossy. I enjoyed playing that role in the fantasy, seeing how obedient you were. [Bela smirks, her gaze flitting over him.] You were so willing to please me, no matter what.

Pretty hot.

What can I say? I like a woman who can boss me around. [It's one of the many reasons he'd fallen in love with Vanessa.

Excuse him, he's just gonna snuggle into her a bit more. And, yes, he is closing his eyes. He's just resting them! He's absolutely not about to fall asleep!] Need someone who can keep my ass in line. Mmhmm...

[cleptes]

[Maybe she was more comfortable than she previously thought? Bela watches Wade as he snuggles, noticing the slow close of his eyes. Hmm. It seems unlikely that they will have a second round now.]

I'll happily keep your ass in line, Wade. On a regular basis if you want.

[fourthwalled]

[Maybe they can bang in the morning, and Wade can wake her up in an unconventional way...]

Mmm, I do want that. Maybe I'll get you a paddle with my name on it.

[cleptes]

[Banging in the morning would be absolutely acceptable. A good way to start her day!]

Mhm, you should. Then we'll arrange a time for me to use it. [Bela grins.]

But I think we should turn in for the night, yeah?

[fourthwalled]

[That sounds like a great idea, Bela! And it seems Wade's already beat you to it because by the time she asks that question he's already out like a light. At least he's not snoring?]

[cleptes]

[Him not snoring is truly a blessing. Bela settles against her side of the bed and closes her eyes, falling into a deep and restful sleep. Maybe his visit had benefited her in another way.]
