prydefulThey don't have sex all that much.
Sorta.
Kinda.
Ish.
...They have a healthy sex life, let's say, which is slightly healthier than normal when one of them hasn't seen the other for a month. (Even if the other hadn't seen his girlfriend for only a few days.)
But there are other things, too, and the post-coitus bit is just as nice as the coitus itself. Kate thinks so, anyway, as she lies curled up on her boyfriend, head on his chest and fingers drifting across said chest, his arm, his shoulder, back to his chest again.
His breathing is slow and even, far more so of both than it was a few minutes ago, and it makes her smile and kiss a spot near his collarbone to see how relaxed he is.

He wouldn't have ever asked if he didn't.
He caresses her cheek lightly, and very gently. And then, at her last comment, he almost smiles.
"You are Katya. That is all the good I need."
"I surprised you. If you need time, it's all right."

"Look. Mal mentioned that everyone here's got a standing invite to Shadow. Why don't we--let's go there. For a while. You and me. And we'll talk about some things, and I'll think, and--and I'll figure out my answer. And we'll figure other things out. Okay?"

"Okay," he whispers.
He'd say the same no matter where she was suggesting, right now.
But there's maybe a little extra warmth to his small smile, as he leans in enough to kiss her softly and briefly.
"That sounds good."

"And in the meantime, we can talk about other things too."
And, after she kisses her way down his neck, after he bends to kiss a path across her shoulders, they do just that.
There are all sorts of way to talk.
