And who spends the most money: I don’t think they spend much money at all, actually. When they go to soccer games and things they probably buy their own tickets and maybe split the snacks? They’re not romantic, just great pals, so for the things they do buy, there’s probably just a constant string of “whose turn is it to pay for the pizza? Is it mine? You got the Chinese last time? Or was that before the Thai that I got?” between them.

“Oi, this isn’t wine you uncultured swine. It’s whiskey that I poured into a wine glass because I’m fancy. Stop judging me.”

Eilidh pulled back with a frown. “See? There’s no fuckin’ reason to put my foot in the air. It doesnae just happen on its own, no matter what the fuckin’ movies say. Go on, you try it this time. I’ll kiss you like I’m Humphrey Bogart, and you stick your foot in the air and see if it feels romantic or some shite,” she suggested, kissing him again. For science.

The sound of someone running caught War's attention, causing her to spin around and raise her rifle. However, before she could even lift her weapon, the air was knocked out of her and she was knocked to her back. Fuck did that hurt. What a bitch shot. Despite being breathless, the Alpha managed to roll back over her shoulder and get to her knees, trying to face her assailant.

War slowly raised her head as she heard an audible thump. What? War's vision was cloudy but she made out what looked to be a person stumbling on the ground. "Alex?" War slowly sat up and watched the other fumble for a second. "Alex?" He looked panicked. Something was horribly wrong. "Shit. Alex? What's wrong?" She was quickly on her feet running to the other's side. "Are you ok?"

This kiss felt like that last kind, sincere and lingering. They stood in her kitchen, and Eilidh wrapped her arms around him and spread her hands across his back. He was taller and stronger, but she wrapped him up in her arms like she wanted to protect him, and she kissed him with a smile on her face.

[I feel like these two do a lot of sleeping when they’re together, and not just because he has a habit of falling asleep on her :-p But they both kind of go non-stop, whether they’re playing in the snow or Eilidh’s doing something ridiculous like trying outrun him or whatever it is--they wear each other out, and then they sleep. It’s adorable.]

More seriously, though, Eilidh really appreciates the way Alex trusts her and how much of his private life he shares with her. She knows about his insecurities, and it makes her feel special that she gets to see the real him and know things about him others don’t. Being invited to go home with him would feel like another thing he’s trusting her with <3]
