She smiled and let her hand rest at the nape of his neck, leaning back and pulling him with her, so that they were tangled together with a cloud of pillows underneath them. Yes, she could absolutely get used to this life.
"What's your real name?" she asked him suddenly between kisses, looking at him curiously. She'd just realized she didn't know, even though she'd tracked his comings and goings in the Refuge for years.

He blushed, giving her a small, lopsided smile. "Ben. Benjamin Kingston." He kissed her softly. "What about yours?" His arms were wrapped around her, and he held her close, not wanting to let her go for at least another lifetime.

"Hope Callaway." She blushed in return, but kissed him back, snuggling against him. She'd found a place to belong, for the moment at least. No point in even thinking beyond that; this, right now, was perfect.

He smiled faintly, brushing his thumb along her cheek. "Hope. Of course that's your name, what else would it be." He kissed the corner of her mouth. Because that's what she was, what she'd given to countless kids in the Refuge. What she'd given to him. "I won't call ya Hope around the others, but when it's just us...can I?"

"If I can call you Ben," she bargained with a smile.

He smiled at her and nodded, flushing just a little. No one ever called him Ben, but if anyone deserved to, it was her. "Deal." He snuggled closer, pulling her back into a kiss, his hand settling on her hip lightly.

Footsteps was responding with enthusiasm when a voice shouted from the hallway, making her jump. "CAV!? 'STEPS!?"
Oh, right. It was Goblin's voice. "We're in here!" she called, giggling. She couldn't help it; she felt like some schoolgirl who'd just been caught by her teacher in an act of wickedness.
After a moment, she heard two pairs of footsteps retreating down the hall, looked at Cav, and cracked up again, although she was blushing a bit. "I think he got the idea."

Cav blushed pinked, clearing his throat, but he couldn't help smiling at her. "He knows how much I've been pinin' over you. He's teased me about it a time or two." He brushed his hand through her hair, tugging a little, playfully.

"Hey!" she laughed, batting at his hand, then glanced at the door and lowered her voice theatrically. "You know, if you need to make a counter-attack...you could always tease him about the grumpy blond girl he's taken up with." Of course, she didn't know if there was anything going on there yet...but she'd seen the way Sammie looked at the boss. Just a matter of time.

Cav snorted. "Sammie? Oh, that battle ax is definitely smitten. Goblin ain't got a clue, though." He shook his head. "Lord knows what'll happen when he figures it out. Not like he's had a whole lot a' luck with girls. Script was a complete disaster, and Riddle--well, Riddle." He shrugged.

'Steps shook her head grimly. Riddle indeed. "Maybe third time's the charm," she said optimistically. Goblin being happy was almost a foreign concept--post-Riddle Goblin, that is--and it was something she would love to see. Then again, Footsteps wanted everyone to be happy. She snuggled into Cav's arms, warm and content.

Cav kissed the top of her head, holding her. "Hey, Hope? If--if I...hold ya...in the middle of the night...would it be okay..?"

"'Course it would," she said with a smile. She still couldn't get over how happy he made her. She reached over to turn down the lamp so he couldn't see her blush, then pulled the covers up around them and murmured, "I'm so glad I'm here with you, Ben."
((Off to bed! Ooh, and just so you know...you folks will be getting a link to the Union tomorrow. The sites are all finished, I just need to look them over in the morning. And get some feedback. *dies of nervousness*))

He shimmied down to his shorts and tank, getting comfortable, then tugged her to him. "Hope, I've waited for you for ages. I--you're gonna hate me when I say this, but...I was startin' to worry I wasn't ever gonna get to hold you like this, ever..."

((Edited my last post to add an exciting OOC message. ^_^))
She leaned over and kissed him softly, letting her wavy hair fall down around him like a curtain. "I don't hate you," she whispered firmly, tracing the outline of his face with her finger. "I worried sometimes too. I'm just glad nothing happened to either of us...and now we're here together." She let her hand linger on his face before she turned and shimmied out of her dress, leaving her chemise and bloomers on. She smiled at him in the darkness. "'Night, Cav."
((I literally just learned the proper underwear lingo. Also, going to bed for real now, haha. 'Night! <3))
