***FADE IN***
*Brandi tried to catch her breath. She smiled contently up to Cry-Baby from her vantage point on the floor. The bed was over-rated. She remembered that now. She winced slightly as she shifted, fresh bruises and rug burns starting to ache. It was wonderful.*
"Thank you...it was...I didn't know you had it in you."

((Oh my god. I can't believe you just handed me that, and I can't use it. Children present!))
*Hardly winded, Cry-baby teased her skin with his lips before looking up at her through the drape of his hair.*
"There's lots about me you don't know, Brandi."

((I iz a bad monkey. Sorry.))
*Brandi arched her brow, trying to keep a wicked smile and push away any strange sense of foreboding.*
"Care to enlighten me? I want you. All of you. To know all about you. Please...tell me."
*She leaned up to suck his lip.*

((No, don't be. Not your fault I'm a prude.))
*He looked down.*
"It ain't somethin' you can tell a girl," *he said.* "Not about... bein' a man, and what all that entails."

*Brandi gave an indignant smirk.*
"I see...us girls can't get it, eh?"
*She glanced lower on his anatomy.*
"I think I might have a hint of what it entails..."
*She grinned and rolled onto her belly, as if turning away from him playfully hurt.*

*Cry-baby rolled her back to face him, his own indignance writ on his face.*
"It ain't like that, Brandi," *he said.* "There's things... forces... at work in a man he can't explain. I'm wild, Brandi, and there ain't nothin' either of us can do to change that. No matter how nice an' tame I wanna be."

*Brandi glanced up at him with an odd combination of shrewd eyes and wicked grin.*
"I never said I wanted to tame you."
*She pushed herself up to lick his lip.*
"I just want to know that you'll still have me, that you'll come back."

"Don't want you to have to take me back," *he said sullenly, touched but also troubled.* "I just mean that... well, I can't rightly tell you all that's in me, if I can't explain it myself."

*Brandi's brow furrowed. He just didn't seem to be making any sense at the moment. But then again, maybe it was her alcohol-infused brain that was getting lost in the translating. She smiled groggily and caressed his cheek.*
"Then don't. I won't pry. Just know that I love you. No matter what."
*She kept her grin as her eyes shut slowly and she squirmed against the floor as if she were making a nest in it.*

*Cry-baby looked tenderly down at her.*
"Hey, now. Think we can use the bed, at this point."
*He lifted her to it, and settled the duvet or whatever around her before sliding in, too. Funny; he didn't seem drunk at all. But he did long for the warmth of her embrace at night.*
"You gonna sleep, like a good girl?"

*Brandi snuggled against him as he slipped into bed, wrapping her are and leg around him, pulling him close. Her eyes still shut, she smiled lazily.*
"Is that what you want? Me to be a good girl?"
*She kissed his skin as she pressed her face blindly against his shoulder and chest.*

"When it means listening to me, sure," *he said easily. He had to protect her. From... stuff. From himself. From all of it. The world was dangerous, and only he stood between it and her.
The world could rot, for all he cared.*

"Then I guess I gotta, right?"
*Most of Brandi's words were buried against his skin, groggy and half-asleep as it was. She pulled closer against him possessively, inhaling the smell of him as she nodded off.*

"Yep."
*Cry-baby smiled to himself as he held her, convinced he'd never sleep again. He felt so...
When he half woke, in the middle of the night, he realized he'd been wrong. But Brandi felt too good wrapped around him for him to care much.*

*NEW DAY*
*Kirk walked in with Kaylee, holding the door for her.*
"There. See? A little primitive, but I think quite cozy."
