Noah sighed.

"Might have to move t'DC." Well, that was a little vague...

Hey, whatever, as long as the neck kissies continued.

"S'long as I can come with." Veli closed one eye and muffled a yawn. "How's your back?"

"Of course," Noah chuckled, "It's fine. I feel good."

And the fishman hummed, moving to kiss at Noah's chest. "Good." He said, nuzzling and loving. "My Noah was very tense. I'm glad that I put you to sleep."

Noah smiled.

"One of many things you're good at...the massaging, I mean. Not making me sleep."

"I like making you feel good." Veli smiled. "And I was glad to help you out in any way. I love you, Noah."

"I love you too," Noah said softly, nuzzling into Veli's neck and settling there.

Veli hummed, arms wrapping around Noah's head. "Caught you." He said, yawning again. "Now you're mine."

And just imagine how that must have looked, a thin little thing with a blocky head under its arms, and the two huge arms trying to peel those off.

"Oh no!" Noah laughed, "Sleeper hold!"

Badum chhhh~

Veli moved and nibbled at the top of Noah's head. "Mine." He said again, nodding. "My Noah-Noah."

Veli was sometimes silly when he first woke up.

"Nooo!" Noah laughed, "Not my beautiful hair!"

Veli blinked and then giggled, nibbling more.

"Nope. Mine now. Om nom nom."

Noah laughed, fake-fighting and writhing and oh GOD this was such a weird angle to try and pry him off from!

Laughing, Veli let go, beaming and happy because His Noah was in a good mood now.

"Hmmm~" He sighed, giving him a kiss. "It's fun to be silly."

Noah laughed again and gave Veli a little kiss with an excessive "MUAH" sound. Oh, he had such a weird smile.

Veli sighed happily, stroking his cheek. "Mmm... Happy Noah makes for happy Veli." He informed him, curling up against his chest. Mmm, cuddles and loving.

Noah wrapped his enormous arms around the little ball of fishy love and laughed.

"I hafta fax over my resume some time today."

"Hmmmm~" Veli hummed, nuzzling. Mmm, Noah lurve. "Where do they have fax things at?"

"Uh..." Noah shrugged, "Circuit City? Staples? Fuck if I know." He laughed slightly.

"I hafta tweak it a little, though. Make m'self sound less like a bum."

"Mmm... You can wow them with your intelligence." Veli nodded, nuzzling. "And you're not a bum. Those live on beaches."

Noah laughed. Hard.

"Oh, suga', there's still some things you gotta learn."

"I wouldn't doubt it." Veli just smiled. Oh, he knew there was a lot he didn't know or understand. But that was fine. He had a Noah, and he was loved, and that was good enough for him.

Noah ignored the signs and leaned against the copying machine, faxing sheet after sheet of information ranging from certifications to the extremely personal. After all, the government wanted to know everything. The only problem he could imagine was that one little tweak felony...but he'd been acquitted of that when they realized it was just reverse discrimination.

Veli looked around. Good Lord, the man was lost.

"Copiers smell funny." He mentioned after a while.

"That's th'toner," Noah nodded, "I actually kinda like it." Out came his forms, and he smiled.

"Alright, we're done here."
