The Beach, Tuesday evening

So Kenzi had gotten up to mischief, torment, and vicarious smoochies today. Time to hang out with the boyfriend, with more naughty chocolates and the breeze off the Bay.

"Happy Valentine's Day, guy."

[for the listening boyfriend, although open, as beaches are.]

"Happy Valentine's Day yourself," Toby grinned and wrapped an arm around Kenzi's shoulders, pulling her closer.

"MMmmmmm, mm!" Kenzi kissed him quickly, mouth full of chocolate, then snuggled in closer. "Brrrr. How're you doing?"

And what was that about a safe room on last night's Radio?

"So over the constant TMI," Toby admitted. "Which is why Raven showed me the Safe Room last night. It was kind of neat, having someplace that was just... quiet."

"Oooo." Kenzi blinked, holding out a chocolate for him. Lips-shaped. "So it's more a Quiet Silent Room, than a Panic Room or something. Got it."

"A little of both, I think?" Toby shrugged. "It's shielded, somehow. Other people's thoughts can't get in." There was more to it than that, of course, but that had been Toby's experience with it.

"Cooooool." Kenzi reached up to rub a gloved finger in between his eyes. "You're doing better? ... Sorry for distracting you during meditation time today."

Try to sound actually sorry there, Kenzi.

Toby let out a little snort of disbelief at that claim. "You were having fun," he countered, smirk playing at the edges of his mouth.

Kenzi beamed at him, then kissed the tip of his nose. "I waaaas," she admitted. "It's fun to get a reaction out of you. Especially when no one else knows what's happening."

"I think there's a chance a couple of 'em might've had some idea, actually," Toby felt compelled to point out. "Including the teacher."

Kenzi's eyes went wide. "Do you think he caught the bit about thinking he's cute?"

"Dunno," Toby nudged her with one elbow, gently. "Maybe you should aaaask," he singsonged.

"Shut uuuuuup," Kenzi sing-songed back. And tried to stuff a chocolate in his mouth, giggling.

"Mrrrph! Hey!" He made a token attempt at batting her hand away from his mouth, but wasn't really trying.

"Shush! Eat the chocolate. It's good for you." Kenzi snickered, and popped another one in her mouth. Then stuck out her tongue. Come and get it?

"If you insist," Toby smirked and leaned forward to give her a kiss. And, yes, actually give wrestling that chocolate from her a good try.

What? Chocolate was chocolate!

Kenzi snickered, then had to work on breathing, kissing, and giggling at the same time, and finally letting the chocolate drop go in a long, warm kisssss.

"Ahhh." She sighed and reached for another chocolate, eyes lazy. "This is... this is good. Very good." Although, we could do more, maybe?

More? More like... how Toby's hands were sort of engaging in some exploratory functions underneath the hem of Kenzi's shirt now, that sort of more?

Goooood sort of more. Yay! Exactly!

Kenzi leaned into his fingers, humming happily, her own stroking up Toby's sleeves, clearly looking for some kind of purchase or place to rest.

Rest, pfft, rest was not at all what was on Toby's mind. If anything, his general pace got quicker, and he found himself wondering what Kenzi might look like with her shirt off.

Kenzi would be in favor of that, if she'd known that's where Toby's mind was going. Her hands had found purchase, finally. One on his neck, and one... wandering down to the back of his jeans. Hello! And time to snuggle closer, and lick Toby's bottom lip.

And that... would be right about where Toby lost his nerve. Panicked, froze, whatever you want to call it, he just... stopped, and was suddenly still.

Kenzi noticed the difference immediately, but it took her a minute for it to compute as something that was still happening. She opened her eyes, and pulled her lips off Toby's, still breathing heavily. "Hey there...?" Um?

"Sorry," Toby muttered, unable to make himself meet her gaze. "I- Sorry," he repeated again.

"Hey. What's wrong?" Kenzi ducked her head a little to try to catch his eye, hands settling back on his waist. "What are you sorry for?" Stopping? Starting? Something else she couldn't even see?

"Stopping," Toby said, a little sheepishly. "It's just-" he frowned, trying to figure out how to phrase it in a way that didn't result in him coming off as a total freak. "I freaked. I've never- done anything like this, just, you know, seen it and it's never been, um. Anything good. When I have."

"Oh," Kenzi said blankly. Then, as that sunk in: "Oh, babe."

Hugging. All the hugging. It's okay.

"The making-out stuff is great, and I want to do more than just that, believe me, but at the same time it kinda freaks me out just a little? The idea? Not you specifically. Obviously." he admitted. Kind of an understatement, really.

Well, it was better than if Toby suddenly decided he didn't like her? Or girls? This, Kenzi could work with. She loosened her grip a little and pulled back to look at him.

"I get it. No, seriously, I do. I've had enough close calls myself to get the nerves." Kenzi frowned. "Can I help? Somehow?"

Toby smiled slightly to let Kenzi know he was teasing. Or trying to.

"Well, I know patience really isn't your strong suit, but- are you okay with- taking things slowly?" he asked.

"Yeah, of course." Kenzi bit her lip. And leaned forward to give him a very light kiss.

"... you don't mind if I flirt with everything that moves this week though, do you? It's usually never this bad."

"Well," Toby said slowly, moving so that he was leaning his forehead against hers. "I can't say it won't make me jealous as hell," he admitted. "But I know whatever's in the air is beyond your, beyond anyone's control."

"You're still first choice," Kenzi assured him, snuggling close, and giving him another kiss. And when you're ready, you'll feel just how much.
