The Love Boat - Day 1

[notjustaface]

It's supposed to be an easy mission, kick back - take a cruise, maybe work on their tans in the process. Baggage, check. Engagement rings, check. Wedding bands, check. Tuxedos, check.

Hannibal and BA boarded first thing in the morning as crew, giving them more than ample time to install some weaponry and a pair of clean cell phones in their cabin and start sweeping for suspicious signs of gun running.

The happy couple took the opportunity to sleep in and have a nice breakfast before heading down to the marina to board.

"It's a nice cabin," Face murmurs, depositing his suitcase on the large bed before heading to the closet to hang up their carefully wrapped formal wear.

As much as he wishes they could just be happy soon-to-be-newlyweds... well, they are here on business.

"Yeah, I think I can do that."

[notjustaface]

"I know you can." His scritching slows to a gentle press against his chest, and then a firm pat.

"You're amazing, you know that?"

[notthatcrazy]

He kisses him, almost gently.

"So are you."

And maybe that's what love is for them... that kind of absolute faith in each other.

"Now..." he pats his chest again. "Go shave, I'll press your semi-formal shirt."

He presses a kiss to the corner of his mouth, forcing himself to sit up lest he not make it that far at all.

[notthatcrazy]

He really does have some impressive mother-hen ability when he tries.

"Yes, dear."

[notjustaface]

He knows how to impress, social protocol, and he can press a mean iron game. All skills just as vital as being able to shoot a moving target from the back of a vehicle going the other direction very fast and hustling pool.

"Don't you 'yes dear' me..." he grins, pulling Murdock up by the front of his shirt and kissing him hard.

"Love you."

[notthatcrazy]

"Yeah, yeah... love you too."

He gives him another playful pat on the butt before heading off to the cabin's tiny bathroom.
