Babe! He carried her bags and took her on romantic getaways and called her babe. She felt so happy she could burst. Harley caught him in a second, longer kiss, then gave him a quick slap on the ass before running for the door.

By the time he got the bags inside she had done a quick check of every room and was rummaging through an interesting cabinet looking for secrets.

It helped a bit that the Monarchs already had him broken in, he always expected to carry the bags and didn't see anything wrong with that. The getaway, and babe, though? Those were just for her, things he was doing as he got more comfortable and at willing to take risks.

Returning the kiss enthusiastically, he was about to say something, but instead Gary jolted a little when she smacked his ass, and took a moment to just enjoy watching her head to the house. She was just the coolest. Making his way inside with their bags, all in one go, even if it was more than a couple. He moved to set them down, seeing her rummaging. "Find anything cool?"

He found Harley sitting on the floor with the fruits of her search around her.

"There's some board games, but that's about it. Not a lot of personality on the inside." She smiled at him and got up to take half the bags.

"But that's no problem. We can make our own fun. What do you want to do first?"

"Well, that kind of blows. At least we're close to town if we want to go exploring there." He offered as she took half the bags.

Given how small the house was, it was pretty simple to see where the bedrooms should be, so he was already turning towards it after leaving his messenger bag on the couch. His laptop and the switch inside.

"We can totally make our own fun, for sure." Seeing the bigger room, he headed inside to dump the rest of the bags on the bed. Any other snacks and stuff could be collected in a minute or so. "Want to explore around and see what all is here? Or we could just start up the show and get high. I don't care either way, it's going to be wicked awesome no matter what we do!"

"It's still a nice place and the outside is so cute."

Harley set about unpacking, which was a quick job. She hadn't planned on spending much time out of bed so she packed one extra outfit in case he wanted to go out for dinner, a sleep shirt, and a few changes of underwear. The rest of her bag was her toy collection, which she carefully laid out on the bed for later use.

"It would be nice to stretch our legs after that drive. How about we split an edible and walk around the beach until kicks in?"

"Oh yeah, dude, it's cute, almost as cute as you."

He had to try to be sweet, at least before his eyes widened watching her laying out the toy collection. Hell yes. He was already so glad they took this trip.

He had a whole suitcase packed besides the bag, and some groceries they grabbed before they arrived. Mostly snacks for while they're stoned, and something easy to make for breakfast. At least Gary could cook.

"That sounds like a wicked great idea, Harley." He wanted to walk around and a romantic walk while an edible kicked it sounded like a great start to the weekend. This wouldn't be the night they go to town.

The compliment was clumsy but it made her giggle anyway. She gave him a quick kiss and headed over to where she'd set the stash. She unwrapped a cookie and broke off a piece for each of them, passing some over to him.

She clocked his excitement at seeing her collection on display and gave a knowing smirk. "See anything you like?"

Give him time, he doesn't really read poetry or watch rom-coms. He would get there in time. Returning the kiss, he stayed by the door, and leaned on the door frame watching her. Once, she handed over the piece of cookie and took a bite.

Looking back to the bed, he grinned a little. "Everything, but that wand, definitely. I know I'm going to have fun using that on you." Finally pushing off the door, he moved to wrap an arm around her to look down at the collection. "How long until it kicks in?"

"That's the one I used on the phone," Harley confirmed as she pressed against his side. She slid her hand into his back pocket and started leading them out of the room.

"Maybe twenty, thirty minutes? This one is like a chill, giggly kind of high."

"I totally thought so! Yeah, that's going to be fun. You sounded so hot, babe." Moving easily with her as they walked from the room. At least he was getting used to her having her hand in his back pocket. He wasn't jolting anymore.

"That sounds cool, this is going to be totally sweet, I just know it!" Time to head out to the beach for sure.

"It was sooo hot," she agreed. "And guess what? It has multiple settings."

But if they got started right away they'd never make it out of this room, so they headed to the beach. Harley left her shoes at the edge of the property so she could feel the sand on her bare feet. The weather was starting to get a bit cool for swimming this late in the day, but it was perfect for a romantic stroll.

"You did good, babe."

"It's going to be hotter this time." He spoke in a promising tone before an almost eureka look crossed over his face. "How do you feel about being blindfolded? Might be fun, if you're into it." He offered.

Gary kept his shoes on, she would learn in time he wasn't fond of things touching his feet at all. If she seemed cold, he'd offer her his jean jacket that he still had on. For now, he was just enjoying walking with her, taking in the beauty of the place.

"Thanks, babe. It's prettier than I expected, for sure." Luckily for them both he didn't look up if the water was toxic or anything so he was just enjoying the shimmer of the water instead of worrying if they'd get sick.

Harley tipped her head and pursed her lips as she thought about it.

"Blindfolds are okay," she eventually decided, "since it's with you. Restraints too, as long as I can get out of them if I really want to."

The fact she had to even think about it was enough for him to know this was a big deal, and he knew better than to ask. Nope.

"Awesome, I just want to see how you react to the wand with a blindfold. I don't want to restrain you, though, I like your hands on me." He admitted with zero shame. He was coming out of his shell for her.

Be prepared for 3am texts about fantasy fights and nerd stuff.

She was usually awake around the time anyway, and she loved their talks about absolutely nothing of consequence.

"Oh you'll get a reaction, don't worry!"

Harley laughed and squeezed his butt through the pocket. If he liked her hands on him, then she would gladly provide.

It all depends on what he had to do the next day, and if bad dreams woke him if he was up past 1am. Either way he loved those late night talks.

"Hell yeah." That was all he needed to hear, when she squeezed his butt again, he moved his hand down from her shoulder to do the same to her. It was only fair, and it made that grin widen some.

Harley laughed at his return squeeze and paused their walk a moment so she could pull him down for a kiss.

"I'm so glad we came here. It's so good to get out of Gotham for a while."

Gary happily returned the kiss, pulling her close during it and lingering there a moment. That edible was starting to creep in.

"I'm always happy to spend time with you anywhere, but yeah. This beats Gotham and Newark."

Harley hummed happily when he pulled her close and ran her hands up his back. She was starting to feel it a little.

"Ready to start circling back? Maybe look up delivery options for dinner."

That happy hum and her hands running up his back got her another small kiss to the tip of her nose.

"That sounds amazing, yeah. Let's do that, and maybe later if we feel like it, we can play with that fire pit." Because that's a great idea.

The kiss set off a fresh round of giggles and she covered her face with her hands to try and keep her shit together.

"Wanna race back?"

Those giggles were contagious, the more he felt it kicking in.

"Oh, you're so on!" And he turned to dash for the house. Everything about this trip was already amazing.

"Oh!"

Her reaction time was a little slow, so the edible was definitely kicking in. That second of a head start gave him an advantage but she was a scrappy little thing and not about to make it easy for him.

She was totally going to beat him, didn't matter if he runs each morning. She has to run faster in Gotham for both crimes and anything else. This was something else he didn't mind losing.

When they reach the door he was breathing harder and leaned a hand against the wall of the house. "Well, congrats, babe. To the victor the spoils." His tone amused as he was looking at her focusing on the color of her hair. Give him a second.

Harley's face was a little flushed from the sudden sprint. Her eyes glittered as she smiled up at him and shook the flyaway wisps of hair out of her face.

"What'd I win?"
