'Cause I've got you under my skin.

[logdates]

Perdita slouched down on the couch with a contented sigh. Gobo was dozing off in her lap, sprawled out half-sideways, half-on his back, with one of his legs dangling off hers.

She'd thought it would be strange, this relationship; this situation, but it was- Really nice. She smiled and gave his stomach a little pat before reaching over onto the end table and picking up a book. She set it down beside them and opened it, though she didn't pay any attention to the place in the book - or even what book it was.

After a moment of sort of pretending to read, she leaned down to kiss the side of Gobo's snout. "Comfy?"

There was something really comforting about being in this relationship, any sort of relationship, really. And right now, the most comfortable thing about it was being warm. He stretched a bit, then let his looser limbs fall back down with a gentle whump.

When Perdita kissed him, he half glanced up and then settled his head back down with a yaaawwwwnnn.

"Mm-hmm..."

[logdates]

She chuckled a little, her smile going crooked as she did so. "Hey, hey. I love you, but I don't love getting your belouvious up my nose - or in my mouth. If you're going to fall asleep, flip over," she instructed, idly toying with said poofball on the tip of his tail as she did so.

[gobetween]

He grumbled good-naturedly, but did as she said, readjusting himself. He didn't put any effort behind moving his tail, and it was long enough to remain in her fingers as he moved, but at least he did do that much, move.

[logdates]

Perdita continued to play with the poof of hair with one hand, while the other flipped through the book distractedly. She really could stay like this for a while... Or at least, she thought as much until a few minutes passed, and her stomach startling grumbling.

"Gobo." She poked the tip of his snout. "You gotta get up."

[gobetween]

He grumbled a bit more, burying his head into his arms.

"Five more minutes..."

[logdates]

"I'm not hungry in five minutes, though," she whined. "I'm hungry now."

Perdita was not one to buckle under, and slipped one hand beneath Gobo's back, the other under his head, to scoop him up and place him hanging over her shoulder - two fingers settled between his shoulders to keep him in place. "Okay, now you can sleep, lazybones," she snorted, amused.

[gobetween]

He remained limp as she moved him, just a plush doll in her hands. Once he was draped over her shoulder, he did snore-

In the incredibly over-exaggerated, fake way, one eye open and watching her with a barely restrained smile on his face.

[logdates]

Perdita had to snicker at that. "You're so dorky."

She headed for the kitchen, humming a mix of different tunes under her breath. She nudged the bottom-drawer freezer on the refrigerator open with a foot. "You want some ice cream? Or... Frozen peas?"

[gobetween]

"The frozen peas are tempting, but I think I would have to pick the icecream." He snickered softly, getting to his hands and dropping off her shoulder, landing lightly on his feet.

[logdates]

"I think you're making a good choice," she commented, pulling out a pint of orange sherbet, and then two spoons. She paused a moment before deciding she was feeling a bit cute, at which point she sat down on the floor - cross-legged - by Gobo's side.

"We have vanilla, too," she pointed out, although she felt the fruity flavor was probably what he'd prefer.

[gobetween]

He smiled at her motion, sitting down with her, tail held cheerily behind him.

"No, the one you're holding is just fine," he admitted, making her completely right in her guess.

[logdates]

She took the lid off the pint of sherbet, and handed Gobo a spoon. Despite her current mood, eating out of the container truly had nothing to do with being cute - and everything to do with having fewer dishes to clean. (The dishwasher being on the list of "Things Perdita Couldn't Be Bothered To Fix", along with her car and several other things around the house.

[gobetween]

Gobo would happily share the pint with her, cute or no. Icecream wasn't something common down in the Rock- they could mostly only manage it during the colder months when the Rock started to freeze -and it was definitely one of his favorite treats. Its ready availability up in Outer Space was a definite bonus.

[logdates]

"Hey," Perdita began after a spoonful of ice cream, "will you be here in about a month?"

'Will you be here' here meaning 'If you weren't going to be here, can you be?'

[gobetween]

Gobo considered that for a few moments, then nodded.

"Yeah, I think so! Why?"

[logdates]

"I don't know if you've heard about it before, but Thanksgiving's coming up. Steven and the others are having a big dinner, and it'd- I don't know, I thought you might like to come. There's going to be a ton of food, and a lot of it will be vegetables."

[gobetween]

"You had me at 'dinner,'" he snickered. Nodding, he looked up at her and smiled, tail waving behind him.

"Sure, I'd love to come!"

[logdates]

"Heh," Perdita breathed with a nod, "cool. It'll be fun, unless Pearl decides to ask you a thousand questions again."

Learning about Fraggles was always interesting, but that had been a long visit to the house.

[gobetween]

"Aw, that wasn't so bad. I probably had just as many questions about you Silly Creatures when I first came up here."

[logdates]

"Yes, but you're not condescending like she is," Perdita pointed out with a little shrug. "Well, most of the time."

[gobetween]

He's just going to take the bit of icecream her spoon was going for, that bite looks good doesn't it thanks!

"I guess, but I still didn't mind."
