How am I supposed to fall asleep when that's your lead in to the story?

[Peter gives off a laugh at that, a bit incredulous. Of course, he's encountered ghosts and gods and g-other things galore, but that didn't mean he would find it boring.

But he listens, and now that he's met Dean, he knows at least one other player in the tale. He listens with rapt attention to her details, and by the time she's finished, he's still fighting his exhaustion with his curiosity.]

If that's your idea of a boring story, I need to hear one you think is exciting!

Maybe I should tell you the thrilling tale of deciding between two different brands of green tea in the supermarket.

[She holds it for a moment before she giggles, unable to help herself. Then Bela looks at him fondly, moving the hand from his chest to cup the side of Peter's face.]

Can't we just talk at each other mindlessly until we fall asleep, mhm? My life is clearly too exciting.

[the_amazing]

Hmm, that might work better for our purposes.

[The intimacy between them right now catches him off guard, as does hearing her laughter. He wants to keep making her laugh, protect her from further horrors of his place. When she touches his face, he takes the opportunity to lean in and kiss her. His abdomen protests moving too much more than that, but he's going to enjoy this kiss, dammit.]

Keep talking. I'll make sure to close my eyes this time.

wraps this up

[The kiss makes her heart skip a beat and she appreciates him for giving her something so sweet when he was in pain. It means a lot.]

Okay. I'm thinking when you get better, we should go on a date. Could be a sit on the couch watching movies kind of date or the kind where we grab a bite to eat, maybe some dancing? I don't mind, as long as we do something...

[And Bela chatters on for even longer than that, coming up with other ways that they could spend time together.]
