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.

[revmeup]

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?"

[twoton_twentyone]

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.

[revmeup]

"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.

[twoton_twentyone]

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.

[revmeup]

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?"

[twoton_twentyone]

Gary was still trying to catch his breath as he watched those wisps.

"One kiss, and my devotion." He spoke finally pushing off the door to pull her close. He didn't care they had just run, he wanted to steal a kiss, but the line sounded good to him.

[revmeup]

"Oh, Gary!"

Harley wrapped her arms around him as they kissed and let herself go weak in the knees and lean back, turning it into a dip. She was lightheaded and giddy and couldn't say for sure if it was from the weed, the race, or the romance of it all.

"I feel like the cover of a romance novel."

[twoton_twentyone]

Oh, how he loved hearing her call out his name like that. He kissed her back, and tried to keep them both from falling over as she dipped back, his arms around her trying to keep her from falling back.

"You belong on one, for sure." He spoke with a bit of a flustered giggle, oh, she almost pulled him down with that one.

[revmeup]

Harley let her head fall back and laughed, letting her arms slip off his shoulders and dangle. She enjoyed that perfectly natural pose for a moment or two before she stood back up and slipped away to fetch her shoes.

"We should order pizza! What toppings do you like?"

[twoton_twentyone]

Gary got distracted by her hair again, but held her up until she slipped away. Taking a moment to pull off his shoes, but left the socks. Trailing after her, quietly.

"Ham, bacon and pineapple." He liked Hawaiian pizza, he may be an actual monster.

[revmeup]

"We should get a veggie pizza too. For health."

She went over to the hose and rinsed the sand off her feet before going inside. She wandered around the house until she remembered where she'd left her phone, then sat on the floor and started looking up delivery options.

"Oooh, babe, garlic knots!"

[twoton_twentyone]

"An excellent choice, babe." He replied with a playful attempt to sound like Keanu in his Ted days.

He moved over to sit near her, though probably just laid across the couch or the bed, depending on where she sat down on the floor.

"Ohh, add those, that sounds good. How about wings?" He doesn't mind cheating his diet when he's on vacation.

[revmeup]

"Mmm yeah!" Harley leaned back against the couch and tapped through menu options. She held her phone up so he could see the screen too. "Buffalo or regular?"

[twoton_twentyone]

"Boneless barbeque." He replied as she held up her phone, pointing to it. "8 sound good?" He asked since he planned to offer her a few anyway with the pizza it would be fine for him.

[revmeup]

"You got it." She finished putting the order in and put her phone aside. "Forty-ish minutes."

She crawled onto the couch with him and snuggled up. "Can we start with Kirk episodes?"

[twoton_twentyone]

"Thanks, babe. That sounds good."

He wrapped his arms around her when she snuggled up with him, reaching out to grab the remote.

"Sure, but I figured you'd like Deep Space Nine or Enterprise better than Tos to be honest." And yet, he was logging in with the remote and pulling up the original serious. "Though, with Kirk we also have Strange New Worlds, and the JJ Abrams movies too." He added getting episode one pulled up.

[revmeup]

There were a lot of reasons why she wanted to start with the Kirk era. The first series didn't have the expectation of an audience knowing any of the world building lore so there was a lower barrier to entry. The bright colors and cheesy effects were cartoony in a way that appealed to her. The moral allegories would be simple enough for her high little brain to follow.

But given that her little brain was high and getting higher, she couldn't fully articulate all of that, so she looked at him with big earnest eyes and said, "Miniskirts."

[twoton_twentyone]

As someone whose watched most of them all more times than he could count over his years, that had slipped his mind. He expected to be explaining everything, even pleasantly stoned. And yet. As soon as she said Miniskirts. He made a sound to show he agreed and loaded up Episode one, the remote laid against her stomach as he held her close.

It was, honestly, just so cool to lie there and watch a beloved show with her. She was probably going to have to nudge him when the food arrived if she didn't go get it herself. He's used to doing these kinds of things for the Monarchs.

[revmeup]

Harley loved just sitting with him, being able to cuddle as much as she wanted or hold hands just because she felt like it, and not have to worry about catching every microexpression or sign of a changing tide. Gary hadn't gotten annoyed of having her around yet no matter how long she insisted on snuggling.

"Those little dresses are cute. I should get something like that."

[twoton_twentyone]

She'd find he has a lot of patience, but he did have a temper. It would take a lot for her to tap his temper, but the worst he would ever do is yell and maybe storm out. He was too much of a boy scout to ever be anything like half of her exes.

"Dude, it would be so totally hot. What department would you pick?" He asked, his eyes still on the screen. "Command, operations, or sciences?"

[revmeup]

Harley lolled her head back and looked up at him with a dazed smile. She reached up and absently touched his face. She'd gotten used to his permanent scruff.

"I dunno. Which color is which?"

[twoton_twentyone]

Feeling her touching his face, it was good she'd gotten used to the scruff, it wasn't going anywhere. Gary looked down at her with the dazed look. The edible mostly, but he enjoyed the way she was looking at him.

"Technically, there's like more. Uhh, well, Gold is Command and Bridge Crew, Blue is both Science and Medical. And, Red is Operations, which includes engineering and security. That's why the red shirts go down on the planets and die."

[revmeup]

"I don't want to be the one that goes and dies." Harley frowned and tucked her head under his chin. She reached for his hand and tangled their fingers together. "So then blue, I guess, since those are doctors."

[twoton_twentyone]

"Well, I would have assumed operations if you went red, babe." He admitted but looked her over again as she linked their hands and tangled their fingers together. Squeezing her fingers in his as he offered her a smile. "You'll rock that outfit, I know a place to order it if you really want it, Dr. Quinn." This man, really, does not realize Quinn isn't her actual last name. He just thinks it is a funny Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman joke.
