Wait
Nico pressed her hands against Tommy’s chest and gave him a little shove, telling him to slow down.
Fortune
The fortune cookie had told him he would meet someone who would change his direction.
Wall
“Immovable object,” Nico said, and the Staff of One threw up a wall in front of the speedster.
Gentle
Nico was surprised; Tommy’s kisses were very gentle.
Hide
Tommy pulled the covers over them both, hiding from the outside world.
Precious
He ran a finger across her cheek, like he thought she was made of something fragile and precious.
Picture
Just hold still a moment,” Nico muttered, stealthily snapping a picture of Tommy playing Risk and losing to Molly.
Stop
“Freeze frame,” Nico said, causing Tommy’s feet to stick to the floor and making him topple over.
Change
“Nicky, baby, you look gorgeous in everything so can we just GO?”
Torn
Nico switched her glare from the torn stockings to the unrepentant speedster.
Need
There was something needy and desperate about the way he held her.
Harm
Tommy’s fist impacted a hundred times a second as he shouted his frustration with the dead bastard who had hurt his Nicky.
Safe
“It’s okay,” she whispered as she held him in the aftershocks of the nightmare.
Blur
He moved too fast for her to see him clearly.
Young
He looked so young when he was asleep, despite the white hair.
Hunger
“I don’t know if I should be disgusted or impressed,” Nico said as she watched Tommy devour the burgers.
Book
“It’s one of my favorites,” Tommy admitted as he pressed a copy of Thief of Time into Nico’s hands, “and I thought you might like it.”
Never
“I won’t ever let you go.”
Ghost
“It’s like Alex is haunting our relationship or something.”
Mad
Tommy flitted around the room, dodging everything Nico threw at him.
Now
“All that matters,” Nico said, burying her hands in Tommy’s hair, “is right now.”
Power
“Tell me we didn’t knock the power out,” Nico sighed.
Last
“You go first,” Tommy said with a small smirk.
Motion
The world seemed to be standing still around them as Tommy ran, carrying Nico carefully in his arms.
Wash
“Christ Tommy, do you ever wash behind your ears?”
Believe
“There are times when I can’t believe this is my real life.”
God
“Oh God oh God do that again!”
Goodbye
“I’ll see you later,” Tommy said, pulling on his pants, “after I kill Eli.”
Soul
“What can I say except White Boy’s got soul?” Tommy asked as he tossed the harmonica between his hands.
Eye
Tommy grabbed Nico’s glasses off her face and kissed the tip of her nose.
History
“It’s the past, Nicky, it doesn’t matter anymore.”
Command
“Don’t you dare!” Nico shrieked as Tommy gleefully mussed her hair.
Time
“We don’t have time for ‘slow’.”
Drive
“The great Thomas Shepard doesn’t have his driver’s license?”
Shadow
“You haven’t been sleeping,” Tommy accused, eyeing the shadow-like smudges beneath Nico’s eyes.
Learn
“I’m a quick study,” Tommy purred.
Sudden
Being with Tommy was like suddenly being flung into the air and left in freefall.
Naked
“So… noticed you forgot your pants, did you?”
Fool
“Tell me you’re not wearing a jester’s cap.”
One
“Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t chuck you out on your ass.”
Thousand
“If I live to be a thousand, I will never understand what goes on in your head.”
Sing
Tommy loved to hear her sing.
Attention
Sometimes, dealing with Tommy was like dealing with an attention starved toddler
Vision
“Your friends can be so weird sometimes.”
Bother
“I don’t know why I bother, you never listen.”
Wrong
When Nico said they were all wrong for each other, Tommy told her he didn’t care.
Hold
“Hold me tight and never let me go.”
Cool
“I,” Tommy sniffed, “am way cool.”
Child
“I’m busy, so go play with Molly.”
King
“That is the worst Elvis impression I have ever seen.”
