Kasey took Barry’s hand as they walked, giving it a gentle squeeze. They stepped up to the front of a dark-wooded door, which Kasey knocked on three times.
“I’m coming, I’m coming!” called a masculine voice from inside. A moment later, Harper appeared in the doorway, a wide smile on his face as he took the sight of his sister in. “Kasey! You finally here. Ginger should be around here somewhere. Come in inside while I go grab her.”
Barry took a careful step over the threshold, craning his head to get a look at everything. “Hey, Harper, long time, no see.”
“Barry, hey. It’s good to see you again. Keeping my sister happy, I hope?” Harper greeted the younger man with a chuckle.
Kasey sighed as she stepped inside, Harper closing the door behind her. “Yes, dearest big brother, my boyfriend is keeping me extremely happy, thank you. Anyway, go find my cat, would you?” she added the last part with a small laugh and waved him away with her free hand.
“Yeah, yeah. I’m working on it,” Harper chuckled, shaking his head in amusement. “I’m just being a good host and greeting my guests.”
Barry stifled a chuckle of his own and reached for Kasey’s hand after pulling off his boots with minimal difficulty. “Well, I definitely hope I’m keeping her happy. And anyways, if I wasn’t, I might find myself tied up in some basement somewhere.” He gave Harper a pointed, joking look.
Harper laughed and nudged Kasey. “He’s right, you know. If he’s ever not good to you, call me, and I’ll make sure he gets the point,” he said with a teasing wink. “Anyway, I should probably go hunt down that cat, now.”
Kasey sighed as he left, then turned to face Barry. “You two are going to get together and tease me relentlessly one day, aren’t you?”
“Oh, definitely.” Barry wiggled his eyebrows in a manner meant to be comical. “Without a doubt.”
Kasey snorted and shook her head in amusement. “Well, then I’ll be sure to look out, then,” she joked, smiling over at him as Harper came back.
He walked over, holding a small, orange cat in his arms. Kasey grinned and took Hinger from her brother’s arms. She pressed a quick kiss to the cat’s nose before looking up at Harper. “Do you have the box and towels we used to bring her over?”
“Yeah, let me just go get them quickly,” he said before disappearing again.
“Hey, Ginger,” Barry greeted the cat, leaning over to scratch behind its ears. “Remember me?”
The cat merrowed at Barry and bumped his hand with her head. She purred in Kasey’s arms, perfectly content.
“And here’s her box and towels,” Harper declared as he re-entered the room, said items in his hands.
“I’ll take them,” Barry offered, moving to take them from Harper.
“Sure,” Harper said with a nod as he handed them over. “How’ve you two been?”
“We’ve been good, great, actually,” Barry smiled over the pile of items.
“That’s good,” Harper chuckled, watching as Kasey carefully placed the cat in her box.
Ginger meowed some as the top was closed into the handles, and Kasey smiled up at Barry softly.
“It’s been amazing,” she said before turning back to Harper.
Skip to when they get home?)
(Sure! Not it. :)
Dammit
Lol
Bedtime…. a Violay-style moment? XD)
(Meaning… a very flustered Kasey and a very teasing Barry? Or a very heated moment? lol.)
Both lmao
I should probably say a Steed moment instead, whoops)
(Yes~!)
(Alright, XD)
Barry lay back against the pillows, intertwining his fingers with Kasey’s. A hush had fallen over the room, the shadows lengthening as the sun went down and cast the room in a dim, orange light that shone through the gauzy curtains.
He panted softly, the sudden heat getting to him despite the fact that he was wearing a t-shirt and pyjama shirts, and in a spur-of-the-moment decision, he let go of Kasey’s hand and slipped his top over his head.
Kasey blinked a couple of times, hoping the heat was hiding her flustered blush well enough that it wasn’t noticeable. She’d been reduced to a tank top and a pair of shorts that were shorter than what she normally wore. That was already flustering enough, showing so much skin so casually.
“It’s so hot,” she muttered quietly, closing her eyes.
(Have you seen that post on Pinterest that’s something like this?)
(No…?)
Barry saw the chance to fluster her and seized it.
“The room, or my chest?”

Kasey’s eyes shot open, and she glanced at him wide-eyed before closing her eyes again and groaning. “The room…” Although, he was right about the other one, too…
(Damn
Should he do that?)
“Only the room?” He teased, giving her a false pout. “Aw, and I here I though you considered me attractive.”
(Lol. Up to you. ;P)
“Shuttup… It’s too hot to tease me,” Kasey groaned softly. She lifted her arm to cover her eyes fanning herself with the other.
“It’s never too hot for that.” Barry’s grin suddenly gained a mischievous, more flirty edge. He rolled over, landing on all fours above his girlfriend, their mouths centimetres away from each other. “And if you don’t stop complaining about how hot it is, I’m going to give you a reason to feel hot.”
Kasey’s arm moved from over her eyes when she felt a presence over her, and she immediately flushed deeply. Gosh, why did he have to do this to her?
“Barr…” she breathed, blinking up at him a few times.
His gaze was suddenly smouldering with desire as it travelled over her features and down the length of her body, burning with an intensity that surprised even him.
“Can I…?” Barry tapped a finger first against his lips, then against her neck.
Kasey opened her mouth to say something, to agree, but nothing managed to come out. She gaped like a fish a couple of times before a small “Yes” slipped out.
The tiny ‘yes’ was all he needed.
Barry bent his head and pressed his lips to the sensitive spot beneath her jaw, tentative at first.
