[ He glances her way, a little furrow between his brows. ]
Skye, that parts not going to change. I want you. I will always want you. But I just need, a little of time to get my head in order. I'm not going to be able to touch you the same way. I'm not going to look the same. [ These things shouldn't worry them but he's being forward thinking. ] I have to figure that out. We both do. But we have the time.
I know - but it's why I'm asking. Because it's been a...[She lets out a bitter little huff,] really long time, and I keep wanting to constantly hug you.
Just, for the record - I think you look amazing. What with being not dead, and all.
[If you thought Thor was the incarnation of a golden retriever, you were wrong. Because, Skye.
She sets her plate and beer down too and slides on up to him, snuggling up without the need for further insistence from his side. She wraps her arms around his waist, and buries her nose in the collar of his shirt and it's so nice.]
Mm. [Same sigh, this time from her. This is what coming home is like, this is what it's become for Skye. All their hugs have been goodbye hugs lately, and this one finally gets to be a welcome back one.]
Hold on, I have a better idea. [Her idea is basically to pile both sandwiches onto her plate and sit back down into the nice little corner of the universe that is leaning back into his arms.
She looks up at him.] Seemed wasteful not to eat them.
[ He eats quietly after that, finishing off and licking his fingers clean before settling. His arm rests over her shoulder, hand on the back of the couch. ]
Clearly not, you let my baby get taken. [She is enjoying her end of the sandwich a little longer than him, tucked in comfortably. Eventually, it's gone too.]
For my quick fingers, right? You know -- about that first time we worked together. By the end of it? [She gives him a grin.] I was definitely flirting.
Phil, I called you Charm School and asked you about your sex life. Come on. I do not care what everyone keeps insisting that I was projecting onto you, that's not what you do with the guy you think of as your paternal figure.
Ripe with experience, and whatnot. [She should be trying harder to make her point, but he knows. She's here, isn't she. If his age had mattered to her at all, she wouldn't have been here, would not have started anything with him. Wouldn't have checked out his ass in those sweet, sweet suits.]

Come here. [ He can hug her. He's sorry for making her feel that way. ]

He can't believe he missed the feeling of her so much, the closeness. It pulls a content sigh from him. ] Better?
