Momoko's Apartment, El Paso, Texas, Tuesday Night

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime finished the last bite of fish and leaned back in his chair with a satisfied sigh. "That was pretty good," he told his dinner companion with a smile. "I didn't know you could fry fish so well." Not to mention the salad. Which hadn't been anything special, but had been very nice.

He took a moment to just appreciate it, then looked across the table. "So... you want dessert now, or do you need to digest first?" He'd brought a cake. Too big for two people, honestly, but he rather suspected that, given Momoko, that wouldn't really be a problem. Either they'd eat it all tonight, or she'd have some for later.

"I do! You're the one not telling me!" If they went back in time, they'd be naturals at vaudeville. "Hurry or I'll run out of cake."

[weldedtomyspine]

"If that's an attempt to get me to reveal that I brought a second one, sorry. No dice."

[heromaniac]

Reeeeally Jaime? Look into Momoko's eyes and say that there isn't more cake.

[weldedtomyspine]

"Momoko, I made you a cake. An entire cake! You're just being greedy." He reached out and poked her playfully in the ribs.

[heromaniac]

Momoko giggled and leaned away from the poke. "I am! I can't help it! I like awesome things."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Mhmm," Jaime hummed as his finger chased after her, poking again.

[heromaniac]

"Eeep!" She wasn't expecting another poke! "Jaime! Quit that!" Her protests were totally undermined by the giggling.

[weldedtomyspine]

Oh, yeah. That was going to work.

As long as what she wanted was more poking!

Poke, poke, poke!

[heromaniac]

"Eeek!" Scoot giggle scoot "Jaime!" She was going to lose her cake in a minute, the way she was bending to avoid him

[weldedtomyspine]

"Don't drop that cake," Jaime warned, still poking.

[heromaniac]

"I'll drop it in your lap!" eeek! "Not fair! You're supposed to be telling me" giggle "A story!!"

[weldedtomyspine]

"I'm trying to tell it to you," no he wasn't, "but you keep giggling!" That part was true, at least.

[heromaniac]

"You're making me!" She protested... barely. "I'm just trying to eat cake and listen to you talk."

[weldedtomyspine]

"And criticizing my storytelling," Jaime pointed out. While continuing to poke her. "And giggling!"

[heromaniac]

"Not...!" Okay, that last one hit her funny spot and she doubled over against him, finally, laughing... and dropping her cake.

[weldedtomyspine]

For a moment, Jaime was kind of horrified by how she might react to that, but she was just too adorable with that expression on her face, so he gave up on pretending to be doing anything else but diving directly on her and tickling her with both hands.

[heromaniac]

"Nooooo! Aaaahhahhahaha Not....... ahahaha... Fai ahahaha!"

[weldedtomyspine]

"What?" Jaime asked, starting to laugh himself as he overbalanced and sent both of them tumbling to the floor. "What did you say?"

He was totally not going to stop tickling her.

[heromaniac]

"Caaaaake!" She couldn't breathe Jaime!

[weldedtomyspine]

"No cake?" Jaime repeated, a bit breathless himself with the effort of continuing to tickle her.

[heromaniac]

"Noooo!" She took advantage of his breathlessness to take a chance to breathe herself and pushed at his hands. "Jaime!"

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime's weight moved back as she pushed at him, but then came forward again as he leaned in. His hands landed on either side of Momoko, and he caught himself just a few inches away from her. "Yes?" he asked, still slightly breathless.

[heromaniac]

Oooh. Momoko liked this. So much s that it took a moment before she could say anything.

"I need more cake?"

[weldedtomyspine]

He stared down at her, thinking about that for a long couple of silent seconds, only the sound of their breathing filling the room.

"Does that mean you want me to get up?"

[heromaniac]

No.

"I do like sweets."
