[Worn out from a crappy day, guess who's knocking on someone's door for a little pick-me-up..]

[distinctive_guy]

[Door is opened after a quick glance through the window to check who it is. Eliot stands there with a bandana around his head and a large welcoming smile.]

If it isn't my favorite detective. Hello, darlin'.

[One look at her worn expression.] Bad day? [Motioning her in.] Bad case?

[feelsthedead]

Hey yourself, good lookin'.

[She does manage a grin, since it's hard to do anything but when faced with one of Eliot's]

Both. Can I take a mulligan on the whole thing? [She looks up and gives him wide puppy eyes]

[distinctive_guy]

No, but you can take a break on my couch. [He reaches forward and draws his fingers briefly along her cheek under those wide, soulful eyes.] Close the door behind you.

I gotta turn down the stove. Be right back. [He disappears quickly into the kitchen, and calls out from inside.] Is it bad enough you'll need a beer?

[feelsthedead]

I love your couch. I swear, it just sucks all the bad out of me. [She almost flinches from the touch, but catches herself in time, smiling at the brief contact.

Closing the door as asked, she kicks off her shoes and makes her way into his living room, slumping quickly into a sprawl along his very lovely vampire-couch]

I wouldn't say no.. [Muffled slightly by her face being pressed into a cushion]

[distinctive_guy]

[He returns minutes later with two cold beers in hand, uncapped, and holds one out to her. He himself takes up a seat on the side of the coffee table so she could continue benefiting from the full length of his couch.]

Wanna tell me 'bout it?

[feelsthedead]

[Rolling over on her side, she took the bear with a kiss blown in his direction and a grateful sigh. Lifting her head enough to take a sip, she let it fall back on the couch, sighing]

You'd think people could take a few days off of being complete asses to each other each year. I mean.. it's Christmas. Three death by frozen turkeys, two by family brawls and a peeping pervy Santa electrocuted on a telephone pole with a taser shot from the girl he was peeping on.

Can you just lock the door and tell them all I'm not here?

[distinctive_guy]

[What was he supposed to say to that? He released the beer bottle from his lips and blew out softly.] Wow.

[Although the last one did make him wonder if the girl might have been Parker, except Parker wouldn't taser a Santa-lookalike. Maybe.]

Well, my door's locked and I doubt anyone'll be lookin' for you here. Welcome to stay for the next few days. Hide out. Relax.

[feelsthedead]

Hide out, hmm? Sounds perfect. Do I get to sample whatever it is that smells so mouthwatering?

[She grinned, propping herself up on her elbows to look at him properly]

In case I forgot to say it, you look good today. Well, not that you don't every day, but.. these sore eyes are enjoying the view.

[distinctive_guy]

[His grin broadens to complement hers.] And you look dashin', even with all the running 'round you did.

[And it went a bit wider from pride.] That'd be baby lamb chops you're smellin'. Got some nice fresh ones grilled. A sprinkle of rosemary... You're staying for dinner? I made extras.

[Originally he was planning on saving them for later, but he could cook something else tomorrow.]

[feelsthedead]

If you're sure you don't mind.. I mean.. I didn't call. I should have called. Why didn't I call?

[Chewing her lip, she pushed herself up so she was sitting normally on the couch]

I'm sorry about that. I didn't even think about it. The day ended and I just wanted somewhere... safe. And I thought of you.

[distinctive_guy]

It's alright. Don't worry 'bout it.

[He reached out slowly and gently brushed his hand over her hair. His hand pulled back when she sat up.]

Sweetie, sounds like you had a horrible day, you're allowed to forget things like that. [His grin mellowed to a soft smile.] You're welcome to drop by anytime, ya know that.

[Given, he might not always be home and she was lucky to catch him while the team was on break, but what happened happened.]

[feelsthedead]

Well, yeah, it sucked. But that's no reason to ruin yours. [Though, her smile was spreading slowly as she looked over at him]

I am, am I? Careful, I might have to take advantage of that more often.

[Taking another sip of her beer, she reached forward and set it on the table, then patted the cushion beside her] Come tell me all about the not-sucky day you had.

[distinctive_guy]

[At the invitation, he hopped seats and scooted over next to her, throwing one arm around along the back of the couch to let his hand hang over her shoulder. His beer remained in his free hand.]

Hey, listen here. Seein' you can never ruin anythin' of mine.

[He took another drink of his beer then rested it down beside hers on the table.] It was a pretty boring day. Didn't do much. Cleaned, tidied the place up. Prepared dinner.

[He leaned in a little closer to her.] You're the most excitin' thing to happen to me all day.

[feelsthedead]

[She leaned towards him, settling in the space his lifted arm left for her. Her head tipped to rest back on his arm and she grinned wider at him]

Is that a fact? Well, maybe I'll have to do something to warrant being 'exciting'.. [Her hand came up, fingers tracing lightly along the line of his jaw]

[distinctive_guy]

[At her first sign of invitation, Eliot drops his arm from the couch's back to around her shoulders. His grin can be felt in the movement under her fingers.]

It's definitely a fact...

[He turned and gently planted a soft kiss on her lips. Pulling away to give himself talking room, he whispered while looking into her eyes,] We've got dinner. You're welcome to stay the night too.
