On the contrary, I think you should be engaging in it right now.

[He, of course, dropped his voice for that last part. To the deeper, slightly huskier tone that he's just claimed he never does.]

[11calls]

[Alex just colored and smiled, watching him for a moment, before she shifted into a smirk.]

I win. You just did it.

[nobasisinfact]

I didn't do a thing.

[Of course he knew what he'd done, but he was also the king of denying that what was there was actually there.]

[11calls]

Oh right...

[Alex is just going to lean forward, tracing her fingers along the back of his hand, because fighting fire with fire is sometimes the way to go. Especially when dealing with him.]

I'm sure I'm just experiencing the same sort of apophenia that I do when I notice just how much you enjoy me engaging in my habit of wearing your clothing.

[nobasisinfact]

[He rose his eyebrows, smirking.]

I'm afraid so, Mis Reagan. I haven't once looked at you in an improper way.

[They both know that's a lie. Their first night together was more than enough to point to the holes in it.]

[11calls]

Such blatant lies, Richard.

[And Alex is just going to laugh at him, before she leaned over and kissed him.]

[nobasisinfact]

[He leans in, returning the kiss. After all, it's one of the few moments without Stan and Simon in the house (which leaves him to wonder how he's practically a father again in this weird place).]

I have no idea what you mean.

[He kisses her again as he lets his fingers run over her palm.]

[11calls]

A likely story.

[Alex just laughs softly, and then rises to her feet, pulling his hand with hers.]

Well, I suppose if you're so interested in seeing me in your favorite hobby, then why on earth would I deny you?

[nobasisinfact]

Your favorite hobby.

[Still, he stands to follow her.]

[11calls]

It's not my favorite hobby, but I do suppose it's up there at this point.

[Alex Reagan's current hobbies list include learning dead languages, trying to set her friends up and yes, one Richard Strand.]

[nobasisinfact]

[Richard would argue that he can't be a hobby, he's a person.]

And yet, you steal my clothing more often than you wear your own.

[An over exaggeration, but she'd get over it.]

[11calls]

[Alex would argue that she's sort of his hobby too.

And of course, she's going to raise a brow before slinging her arms over his shoulders.]

If I wore your clothing more than mine, I'm pretty sure I'd never leave our bedroom.

[nobasisinfact]

[Richard can't help pausing a moment at the thought of that.]

I do know restraint.

[11calls]

[That made her laugh.]

Trust me, me and the corset and stockings and heels I wore to your office are definitely well aware of that, my Richard.

[nobasisinfact]

I don't believe anything other than you have sentients in that sentence.

[11calls]

[Alex just shook her head with a smirk.]

And you're the one who calls me insufferable. I swear...

[nobasisinfact]

Insufferable and right can be similar. I'm right.

[11calls]

Nope. Going with just insufferable.

[nobasisinfact]

I'm right, you're insufferable.

[11calls]

You're something else, alright.

[The words come with a laugh, and she traced his cheek with her finger.]

So, which part of my hobby did you have it in mind to indulge in, Richard?

[She was betting it was the shirt.]

[nobasisinfact]

[Raising a brow he pretends to think.]

Maybe nothing.

[11calls]

[Alex doesn't even respond, instead she's just going to roll her eyes at him.]

[nobasisinfact]

Or,

[He offers a slight head tilt.]

We could wait until Simon and Stan come back.

[11calls]

[Okay, that's going to get an eyebrow raise, and a subtle pull of his tie. Richard, do you know how rarely this happens?

Of course you do. And you're an ass and entirely lucky that Alex loves you.]

[nobasisinfact]

I assume you'd rather not wait.

[Of course he's smirking. He knows Alex has no ability to keep calm on anything.]
