Date Night with Bart

[notarrowette]

[RP with nokidflash, because Bart and Cissie are freaking adorable.]

It had been a really awesome day, and a fantastic date night. Bart had picked her up, taken her out to dinner and then they'd gone dancing. Cissie couldn't remember the last time she had spent so much time smiling and laughing as she did when she was with Bart, and now she was tired and happy and still couldn't stop smiling. She had kicked off her shoes halfway through the night, but her feet were still sore, so she made Bart give her a piggyback ride up to her apartment.

Bart could do piggy back rides. They were a specialty. He wandered up the stairs and unlocked the door to Cissie's place, then wandered in. "We have arrived."

He'd had a great time on the date too. It had been a success, not just because he'd enjoyed himself, but because he knew Cissie had. And they talked more and danced, and Bart thought to himself about fifty billion times that they should have dated sooner.

And now... back at her place. He was a little nervous. Sure, he'd been here at night before, and they'd spent hours talking and kissing on the couch, but tonight was in her bed, and he wanted to deserve her trust. So. Nervous. "How're your feet?"

Cissie squeezed her arms around his chest and dropped a kiss on the top of his head before hopping to the floor. "Better, thank you. That will teach me to wear heels."

"Well you looked hot in them. So I totally appreciate you suffering for the sake of me being able to say I have the hottest girlfriend in the room." He spun on his heel and took her hand, lacing their fingers together. "You had a nice time?"

She laughed and blushed a little at the compliment, squeezing his hand. "I had an awesome time. Did you have fun?"

"Good." Bart grinned down at her before leaning in for a kiss. It didn't matter that they'd been doing this pretty much non-stop for three days. He still got little butterflies in his stomach.

Cissie kissed him back happily, hooking her arms around his neck again. "You didn't answer my question," she pointed out, smiling. "Does that mean you didn't have a good time?"

"Oh, you don't speak Kissese?" Bart smiled. "Yeah, I had a great time. One of the best times I've had in awhile."

[cisskabob.livejournal.com]

"Kissese, huh?" she asked with a giggle. "I must not be fluent yet. I need more practice." Her smile widened. "Really? I'm glad. It was so much fun."

"I am so happy to tutor you in the language." They were still standing in the doorway, so Bart decided to be silly and lifted Cissie up again, this time into his arms. "You were blocking my way to the kitchen."

He was being silly. As hungry as Bart could get, he wasn't right now. "I always have a great time with you. Which seems silly after two dates, but, yeah. Always do."

Cissie rubbed her nose against his, sure that she was still wearing a stupid smile. "I always have a great time with you," she told him sincerely. She meant it; she had been entirely serious when she told Cassie how happy he made her, and how she basically wanted to be with him all the time. She squeezed her arms around him and leaned in for a quick kiss. "Even when you're raiding my kitchen."

"Hey, I'm cute when I'm raiding your kitchen. Everyone knows the lovable scamp is... lovable." It made sense in his head, so he went with it, kissing her again as he carried her towards the living room. "You know what's weird? I don't get distracted doing this. You know, being with you. I don't feel like I have to go out for a run or anything."

He had made it through the entire dinner, which he was impressed with. It was one of those things: he could run or he could sit and keep talking to Cissie. It felt like they always had something to talk about, even if it was something silly like TV shows (Bart maintained that Wendy the Werewolf Stalker had more fans than Kon did).

"When I was gone, I didn't really feel anything." He sat down on the couch, keeping her tucked into his body so she was on his lap. "But when I got back... there were three things I knew I had to do. Tell Max, talk to Tabby, and find you. It's like... the Speed Force was trying to tell me something. Present, past, and future. I dunno."

"The lovable scamp is very lovable," she agreed while he carried her through the apartment. The fact that he bypassed the kitchen entirely in favor of snuggling with her on the couch was not lost on her and she happily curled in close, dropping her head to his shoulder.

When he finished speaking, she pressed her face into his neck, holding him close, unable to find her voice or the right words to respond.

Bart felt her breath warm against his neck, and his heart sped up a little. "Sorry." He frowned. "Want me to say something silly now?"

[cisskabob.livejournal.com]

She shook her head and pressed a kiss to his neck. "No. It's--I'm really, really glad I was on that list."

[nokidflash.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, me too." He shifted a little, bearing a bit more of his neck for her. "What if it had been Kon or something? Ew."

[cisskabob.livejournal.com]

Cissie laughed lightly; she found herself laughing more with Bart than she could remember laughing in a long time. She nuzzled his neck and--well, if he was going to lean his head like that--started kissing her way to his jaw. "That would have been very sad. I would not be getting any kisses."

[nokidflash.livejournal.com]

"And Kon would be kissing me, which would be gross." Bart decided that now would be a really good time to stop thinking about Kon, as Cissie's lips moved up his neck.

Done and done. Just like that, the only thing on his mind was the girl in his arms. Once her lips are at his jaw he turns his head to kiss her properly.

"Well, yes, tha--" her response was cut off by his kiss, and she gave a muffled laugh. She tightened her arms around him and gave up thinking about anything but Bart and his kisses and how happy she was.
