"I'm not going that fast, Rory," Anakin said, glancing over at her. "Really."

For Anakin standards, well, no. But the state troopers might have a slightly different take on things.

"With the old woman?" Anakin teased, grinning at her.

"Man, I'd planned to ask you to pull over in a little bit so we could snuggle and stuff," she sighed. "You're just dooming yourself here."

Anakin pouted. "I'm going slow."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"No, you're really not going 'slow,'" she corrected. "Just slower."

[sith_happened]

"For me, this is very, very slow," Anakin said. "Cut me a break?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I'm trying," she said, chewing her lip.

Anakin moved one hand from the steering wheel and onto her knee.

"I appreciate it," he said softly.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Taking a hand off the wheel isn't going to help," she noted, but she didn't move his hand.

[sith_happened]

Anakin gave her knee a little squeeze. "Do you need a break from watching me drive?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Maybe," she murmured. "What do you have in mind?"

[sith_happened]

"Something distracting," Anakin said, lips quirking up.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"With the car stopped?"

[sith_happened]

"Of course," Anakin said. "I'm not completely insane."

Rory just gave him a look.

[sith_happened]

"I'm not," Anakin said petulantly, steering them towards the next exit.

"Sure you aren't," she said, nodding as though terribly convinced, really.

"You were the one who made me wear the pink hat," Anakin said, pulling into a nearby picnic area.

Not that they had anything but junk food with them.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"It was fetching," Rory insisted, looking around to see if there were unfortunately-located nuns or small children or anything, since she hadn't planned on, you know, picnicking.

[sith_happened]

"It was pink, the very definition of non-fetching," Anakin said as he got out of the car and stretched.

Rory hopped out and moved to the back, perching on her trunk. "But I made it for you."

[sith_happened]

Anakin's cheeks went a little pink. He wasn't thinking about the last time she had been at about this height at all.

Really.

Ignore how husky his voice had gone, too. "Maybe a different color next time?" he suggested, wrapping his arms around her waist.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Only had pink and purple paper," she murmured, sliding her arms up around his neck.

[sith_happened]

"I'll pack black next time," he said, kissing along her jaw. "There's no one around for miles," he murmured. "I just checked."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You're handy," she replied with a grin, threading her hands through his hair.

[sith_happened]

Anakin's hands snuck up her shirt. "I am," he agreed, looking ridiculously pleased at the physical humor he'd just pulled off.

Sigh.
