[ raleigh snorts, partially derisive and partially amused. ] That's such a cop-out answer.
[ but he's got more important things to think about than the first lady's inability to root for one sports team. like the way naomi's pants fit on her hips that are cocked just so. like the way his his fit on her waist and his lips slant across hers in a heated kiss.
and the way that might not be a good idea since he probably still tastes a little like popcorn. ]
[ she's not complaining. she loves popcorn. and butter. and the taste of raleigh in her mouth, whoa, where is the table ] Babe [ the hitch in her breath because argh his clever mouth ] Rals, let me just [ okay, bottle to counter, her hands are now free to curl into his hair and she slumps back a little against the fridge. ] Sometimes, I hate you [ no, not really. never. never ever. ]
[ a low laugh tumbles out of his chest as he gently nips at naomi's lower lip. ] No, you don't. [ he presses against her a little as he kisses her again. ] You love me. [ and again. ] Even when I'm annoying you. [ his thumbs move in circles over her hipbones as he slips his tongue into her mouth just to so he can frustrate her a little more. ]
[ she loves the way his laughter actually reverberates against her chest as he presses her back into the fridge. ] You are such a jerk someti-- [ cut off as his tongue teases her mouth, his hands on her hips.
why the hell did she back into the fridge, the damn thing isn't sturdy enough. she tugs his head back, fingers still fisted against his scalp. ] Want to annoy me against a wall instead? [ she murmurs against his mouth, her eyes looking up into his. ]
i am a horrible person but i couldn't resist the idea once i had it
[ a pleased look slowly spreads across his face. this right here is why naomi is his favorite person. ( okay, there are more reasons, but the fact that she says things like that and plays along when he gets in a mood are pretty up there too. ) he presses another quick kiss to her lips before backing up and tugging her along with him. ]
Always.
[ and then, just as he's about to press her into a wall and continue what they started...
the phone rings.
raleigh drops his head down onto naomi's shoulder and lets out a frustrated noise. ] Really? Now, of all times?
[ the phone rings and it's... it's terrible. the world has terrible timing. and she can't help but laugh at the frustrated look on raleigh's face.
she let's the phone ring, presses a kiss to his ear to murmur i'll get it and ducks under his arm to cross the room and pick up the receiver. ] Hello? [ empty air. silence. she frowns. ] Hello? [ she tosses a look raleigh's way and shrugs. ] Sorry, whoever this is, I can't hear you, you might have to ca-- [ click.
naomi looks down at the phone. stares at it for a good long while, before she shuts her eyes and pushes down the feeling that's making her breathe too fast, long resolved memories. ]
[ carefully, gently, raleigh slides his arms around naomi from the back and rests his chin on her shoulder. the mood has been completely and thoroughly destroyed, and it's not just the phone's fault.
the fact that naomi still has trouble with the aftermath of her kidnapping after all this time is completely understandable. and it makes raleigh's heart hurt a little. so he kisses her on the temple and murmurs in her ear, ] Wanna go to bed and cuddle until we have to pick Yancy up tomorrow morning?
[ she curls into him because it's easy to do that, because raleigh is the steadiest thing in her life barring her daughter and when he holds her like this, he makes everything okay. ]
Yeah. [ her voice is soft and she doesn't want to look at the phone, and really, cuddling is her favorite thing to do with him. ]

she freezes and all but feels the blood drain from her face because she recognizes that voice. but it makes no sense. it can't be so takes a breath. ] Yeah, he's right here. Who is this?
[ well. naomi abruptly going pale like that can never be a good thing. so it's with a concerned and confused expression on his face that raleigh walks over to her and wraps his arms around her waist. ]
[ she's not sure what she heard, and it doesn't make sense but the voice had been so familiar - the voice had sounded like yancy, and she knows what he sounds like because raleigh had taken her to dr. caitlin lightcap to deal with the gaps in her memory and then they'd shared the drift. ]
I don't know, [ she murmurs softly, not exactly a lie - not the truth either ] It was someone. And then he asked for you, but when I said that you were here, he hung up.
That's weird. Maybe it was a crank call or a fan or something.
[ they've been lucky in that their house and personal info has mostly stayed off the radar of the general public. raleigh's a world-renown hero, as much as he hates it, and it's a little surprising they haven't gotten fan phone calls or emails before now. ]
If it's important, they'll call back, [ he says quietly as he kisses at the side of her neck. ]
