Getting right to it, I see.
[She was about to scoot a little closer, and maybe attempt to pull him onto the bed with her but, uh, the second he puts his mouth to her skin she's still. You don't slip up with your mouth the way someone might with a needle, per say, but the man's got sharp teeth and she won't contribute to a cosmic fuck up. If nothing else he achieves his goal, knowing the force of his mouth in general is important, but it doesn't stop the thrill of it.]

[Apparently so. There are even men here that suit Boxer's tastes, which is awfully troublesome. At least he's been able to keep his dick where it belongs.]
That goes double for me. [The protectiveness, that is.] Though I wasn't expecting to find any competition at a family reunion.
[Right? ...right?]

[The guy is made for being outside, isn't he? Then again her apartment and the elevator probably felt terribly cramped anyway.] I wouldn't be able to buy one for a day or something?
[She is so ignorant to this whole process.]

'Competition' means that someone else might stand a chance, and they don't.
[Annnd that's all Nariko's gonna say, thank you very much! Maggie just sort of smiles, the expression itself is a little tight on her face, somehow, and she only relaxes when given the chance to turn the conversation towards another direction. There may or may not be something there, but whatever the case is Maggie won't discuss it, and Nariko certainly won't in public. It's a little difficult to tell whose listening, after all.
"So tell me why you want to marry my favorite granddaughter."
If he was ever under any illusion that he wasn't being harshly judged by a smiling old woman then Boxer was nuts. Her approval hasn't been won just yet.]

[Wise choice, Nariko. He lets go when he gets to her knee.]
Thought you would appreciate it if I didn't waste your time with the preamble.
[Then he'll do the scooting up that closes the gap between them, and he holds a hand out to her.]
Can I have a pillow? Something to support the curve in your back.
[Because they might be here for a while, and she needs to be very comfortable.

You know me so well.
[And as long as she doesn't focus on what she plans on doing with him after this, none of it will be preamble! But she still accidentally goes for the wrong pillow, almost lifting it before going for the other one. Don't think about that other pillow, boyfriend, she has a plan for it.
But the other big one is handed over with a surprisingly meek little grin. They're really gonna give this a fair shot, it's finally hitting her.
... Her body will go back to normal afterward, right? It always has but. Somehow she can't help but be a little worried about it in the moment.]

[So there is. And he doesn't very well appreciate being left to wade in this thick tension, so they'll both have to forgive him for his terse response, though well-veiled in a friendly tone.]
I didn't realize I was going to be interviewed! Well, there isn't anything special here. Just the fact that we love each other.
[Gonna have a sip of his drink here.]

[Boxer ...]
I think I can live with it, since I don't like riding trains alone, and no one wants to come with me on one.
[Is he frugal. Because that was a sign of a frugal man. But she'll refrain from judgement for now.] Besides, you don't know if they'll let you scan your pass twice, and I'd rather pay the money than accidentally mess up yours.

[He figures she changes her mind on the pillow because she's using it for her head. No suspicion is cast. Hopefully Nariko is ready for a ride because he slides a hand under her hips and lifts her without any problem so he can stuff the pillow under her lumbar and lower her back down. As he reaches for the bottle of lube, he asks:]
Comfortable?
[Don't worry too much about the stretching...they have lots of his moisturizer with them!]

["If you were giving away your daughter, wouldn't you want to be sure of where she's going?"
They're both far too good at the 'overly nice, actually irritated' deal and Nariko does look between both but - what the hell is she supposed to do? It's not like she's trying to leave Boxer on his own but they have to be able to speak to each other. So, yeah, she's not going to hold the response itself against him but she doesn't jump in yet, either.
"I live on the other end of the world, Boxer, when you're running out of time you worry about the ones you're leaving behind. It's as simple as that." And in Maggie's eyes admitting that was something of a concession, maybe even a mild apology.]

I'm uncomfortably excited. [Aside from that, which is as much of a problem as it sounds.] Otherwise, yes, perfect.
[Although it's a little weird to have one part of her lifted up a bit, so she sits up on her elbows to even it out a little more. That, and she wants to watch it happen.]

[Boxer!]
You don't owe me anything, especially because we've been sharing the wonderful night.
[She leans down to kiss his cheek.] It's natural chemistry.
[That's not something to be repaid one way or another.] But I always accept kisses, hugs, and food for just about anything. In that order.
[Ideally he wouldn't weigh himself down with all that thinking but it's not her place nor within her abilities to change him in any meaningful way.]

[He's quietly sipping his drink while Maggie talks, watching her over the rim of his glass. When she finishes talking, though, he puts it down on the table.]
You talk as if you've already got one foot in the grave, but you don't.
[It's not like his super-senses can diagnose cancer but he can smell a healthy specimen when he meets one. And it's really tempting to tell her that the fact that she thinks she's not long for this world doesn't grant her any right over Nariko's to choose her mate, but it doesn't feel like the right sentiment to share right now.]
I'm gonna stick with my answer, though. Wish I had some sort of inspiring, magical anecdote, but the truth is that both of us are exactly what the other was looking for, mentally and physically.
[The one time he's truthful about their sexual relationship, it's vague and carries the connotation that he can keep up with her just fine.]
On top of that, we both want the same thing out of our futures...we've rarely fought and always instantly made up...and both of us are the breadwinners.
My kind is an isolated one, but I couldn't stand being without her.

Exactly what I was hoping for.
[He spreads some of the lube on his fingers--instantly jolting with surprise and taking a whiff of it. Chocolate scented? They come up with the weirdest things...still, he reaches down to smother her with it. It's an intentionally sloppy job, because messes are fun. He's already got a plan, but it could always use an upgrade...it's not like she's getting the best view in the house up on her elbows like that.]
You got some kind of hand-held mirror?

[Could she have ever met a man who would not only match but exceed her own level of sexual perversion? Probably not. That they've met and will probably become the kinkiest people within history is just a pure miracle.]
My professional opinion as an almost-nurse [And oh so valuable thing.] is that I should also have chocolate.
[Any diagnosis she might come up with will be cured by it.] Can't conduct a full on, tongue-oriented examination without it.

["I'd say that's a pretty magical anecdote, and a genuine one."]
Not that I mean to interrupt [She does, actually. Nariko eases out of her chair and pulls at Boxer's arm, because she isn't going to just go and wheel him without a decent warming.] but you should come dance with me, Boxer.
[Considering that she had told him that he was free of all footwork duty this is exactly what it looks like: A way out.]
Or at least watch Eunyce and I.
["Nariko-"]
Look, you've got the whole visit to be overprotective, okay? We're supposed to be having fun.
[Roll quickly, Boxer, quickly towards the middle of the pier! They're still setting up and all that, but it's a good destination all the same.]

I'm a woman of course I have a tiny mirror.
[Ignoring the sexist tone that comes with that statement: She points to her purse, which is at the end of the bed, not too far off from Boxer. She'd twist to get it but it'd mess up the pillow and all that. More importantly ...]
Why do you want a mirror?
[Now, if it was big enough so that they could see what they look like while fucking around, that'd make sense! A handheld one is a bit of a mystery.]

Well, I've already given you plenty of kisses. I can catch up on hugs on the train. Food, I've already got planned.
[He used to live "on the streets", Nariko. He got in the habit of paying people back, because it strengthened the bonds that got him to where he is today.
Nonetheless, they make it to the train station. Since it's a late train, it's mostly deserted and who is there looks like a bunch of students who pulled off three all-nighters too many and drunks. The exchange with the teller goes quickly enough, because Boxer actually seems kind of antsy to get to a particular place on the shuttle.
The best handicap section.]
Yes.
[He gestures at her to come closer and take a seat on his lap.]

[He gestures at her to come closer and take a seat on his lap.]
[And this is why they're perfect for each other. She was worried that he was only into satisfying hers!]
Chopped up into tiny doses!
[That way he can't eat it all in one go.]
We should figure out a way to restrain all my tentacles...so they don't get in the nurse's way.
[Or basically force him into a position of spread-kraken.]

[See, it's just difficult for her to understand that when she's fallen into the habit of giving people what they ask for and having it end a little terribly.
When they get into the station she ... Takes a lot of quite deep breathes, which is easier to pull off since she's behind Boxer and she's anxious to get through the process of buying her day pass just because she kind of wants to get in the thing and make it move. Trains are pretty fast, so it won't be very long!
When they get inside, though she ... Actually hesitates a little.]
Is it really okay?
[Boxer's in a wheelchair, and most human individuals would go ahead and say that's a valid enough reason to use the handicap section. But Nariko's perfectly capable of standing up on her own so - isn't that kind of abusing the section? Not that she can't be convinced into it easily enough, she's just an annoying, straight laced citizen.]

[He gives her a dumbfounded look with that statement. He knows plenty of women who don't carry mirrors! Uh...putting it aside, though, he reaches out with a tentacle and pulls it within Nariko's reach. Sorry, babe, but your purse is your territory and he will never betray her privacy enough to go digging for it.]
You'll see.
Literally.
[Get it?]
You'll see.
