Needful Things Building; Monday Afternoon

[totalwildcard]

Harley was having a quiet day in.

... What? It happened! It was allowed! Even the most high energy rogues had to take days off sometimes. There was a marathon of some awful reality show on the TV - oh, also, she had a TV now, a vintage one with a great aesthetic and terrible reception! - and she had a comfy onesie on and a takeout order on the way.

What more could a girl need?

(for one!)

But now he only had himself to blame for how loud and near his ear Harley's faux indignant squawk of "Two?!" happened.

[hasaknightjob]

Marc wasn't laughing. Everyone knew he didn't.

"At least," he said. He moved his hand on her back down to give her ass a light pinch.

[totalwildcard]

Harley gave a little twitch in response. "Why are you lowballin' me like that?"

He could have that one for free.

[hasaknightjob]

"At least means not less," Marc said. "Nothing about more. It's all been good, Doc, I promise."

[totalwildcard]

"That's more like it!" Harley decided, and pressed a loud kiss against his cheek.

And then a couple more, just for good luck or something.

[hasaknightjob]

"Gonna make me deaf," Marc muttered in response to the first kiss. But he didn't sound or look like he minded.

[totalwildcard]

"Please, I was so much louder earlier," Harley scoffed - and pressed a few more kisses along his cheek, towards his lips, just because she could.

[hasaknightjob]

"Not by my ear," Marc grumbled. But he was going to kiss her back so between that and his bad acting there wasn't remotely the chance he was coming off as serious.

[totalwildcard]

Harley still managed to snicker a little, even as she kissed him, slow and playful.

That was a softer sound.

[hasaknightjob]

Marc kissed her back, folding her into his arms. Playful wasn't quite his speed, but he could do slow easily enough.

[totalwildcard]

And it was fine! Harley was used to being the person with the more playful energy, anyway - it was part of why some people found her so damn vexin'.

Plus, you know. She was trying to melt into his arms again, so he had that going for him.

[hasaknightjob]

Melting Marc could handle. Or at least being the person melted on. If the person doing the melting was, yanno, different from other people in some way. Maybe he could be into it okay with it.

As she could probably tell from the way he kissed her while one hand slowly moved up and down her back. He was okay with it. Maybe more than okay.

[totalwildcard]

More than okay seemed pretty good.

Harley's hand had found his shoulder, and her thumb was rubbing back and forth against it. Soothing, easy.

[hasaknightjob]

"You're not bad," Marc told her between kisses. Might've been a little nuzzling of her cheek too.

[totalwildcard]

"You're not half terrible yourself, sweetie," Harley murmured.

Definitely with a little nuzzling in return.

[hasaknightjob]

"Guess I gotta try harder," Marc said.

To be good? To be terrible? Hard to say.

[totalwildcard]

"Baby, you were plenty hard."

What?

[hasaknightjob]

That got a snort out of him that could be interpreted as a laugh.

"Nobody but you to blame."

[totalwildcard]

Harley kissed the corner of his mouth as he not-laughed. "And damn proud of it, too!"

[hasaknightjob]

"You do good work," Marc said, giving her more of an actual grin this time. "You can be."

[totalwildcard]

Harley grinned back. She even lifted her head a little more properly so that he could see it.

"Oooh, an actual compliment! Must've got ya good!"

[hasaknightjob]

"I can take it back if you want," Marc said, not remotely serious.

[totalwildcard]

Harley prodded him in the shoulder. "Don't you dare! This is my proud moment of triumph and I deserve it!"

[hasaknightjob]

"Yes, ma'am," Marc replied. There may have been another grin there. Just for her.

[totalwildcard]

And Harley accepted it with much glee. "Good response," she decided. "Now I might actually use my skills on ya again!"

As if that hadn't always been the case.
