@thcbvtcher: β how about a good night kiss? β
AN ALL-PEACEFUL CONVERSATION BETWEEN ANNIE AND BILLY? Mark it in the calendar, three big red crosses. Honestly, it's refreshing, because she doesn't exactly enjoy bitching at him or hearing him say 99% of the shit he usually spews. His request, too, sounds like new wind around here and Annie's initial reaction is to snort. Until Butcher doesn't reveal to her he's jokingβ are they entering a new level right now? Realization blanks her mien when it sinks in. "You're being serious", comes with a tentative question mark's lilt.
Well, she could reward him for being decent, right? As a motivation, a treat. Nevermind the tingling flare in her stomach that says yes yes yes ... the hell is wrong with her? Finally, a smile curves her mouth upward and she shrinks the distance to reach up and cradle his head in her petite hands.
"Only because you asked so nicely", precedes a low snicker before she plants a kiss to his lips. Not as fervent as usual when they make out without giving a damn about feelings but use each other to blow off some steam. It's gentle even, lingers for a moment, until she inches away. "I like that side of you, Butcher."
