He laughed again and pulled him to her, warm clothes and solid body and all. He gathered her up in his arms and kissed her neck.

Maia smiled, leaning against him and into the kiss. She was running out of things to say, distracted as she was with Toby pressed against her. Her eyes veered to the tv, then back to Toby.

Toby continued the kissing, definitely teasing, and drew his fingertips up her waist. He didn't expect anything to come from this but maybe a playful shove and some laughter, but at the moment he was enjoying it.

Maia turned around, moving to straddle him and kissed his lips. "Best birthday ever?" she asked, raising a hand to play with his hair. "Seventy five today." She gave him a smile.

The straddle caused a little whir of excitement and Toby actually injected a bit of tongue into the kiss, expecting it to continue, but no. Maia had something to say. Toby was breathing a bit heavily, and he grinned and leaned his head into her hands.
"Don't remind me."

Maia gave him another quick kiss, paused, and put her hand to his chest, over his heart. His breathing had quickened, huh. Human biology stuff?
She felt a bit strange herself. She wrapped her free hand in Toby's hair, ruffling it. "I love you."

He was still a bit out of breath when he responded, "I love you too, more than anything."
Alright boy, he told himself, calm down. It had been a long, long time but that was no excuse to be so ruffled. He put his hand over hers on his chest, beneath which his heart was pounding.

After some time to calm down and an excellent movie-cuddle, Toby motioned for Maia to follow him and retrieved her pelt from downstairs.
"Where do we want to keep it?" he asked. She may have given it to him, but it was still her pelt.

"Somewhere safe?" Maia suggested. She was surprised he was asking her; she'd given it to him.n. "We could take it out when we swim at HQ," She added. That was the only place that really seemed safe to transform in, at least here.

Well, alright.
"How about the safe in my room?" Under his bed there lay a sort of lockbox that held important documents, emergency funds, things like that. A nicely-folded pelt would fit fine.

"Alright," Maia agreed. She took his hand, giving it a squeeze. "After, we should plan things for your birthday party," she suggested. "I was going to give it to you after the party, you know." But she couldn't wait. She'd wanted Toby to have it. "I could get you a watch or something to give you then..." She considered aloud.

"Hon, you don't have to buy me presents. All I want is you to be here for it." He smiled and touched her cheek, giving her a little kiss and then gently picked up her pelt and went to grab a pillowcase to put it in so it wouldn't get dirty. Then it was up to his room. Out came the lockbox and he opened it up, but handed Maia her pelt back.
"You should put it in."

Maia smiled, returning the kiss. She followed him upstairs and hesitated when he handed her the pelt back. Oh, right. Whoever locked the selkie's pelt away owned the selkie. She understood, moving to quickly hug Toby before setting it inside.

Toby saw the realization dawn and smiled, then returned the hug. He gestured to the lockbox.
"Just close it and turn that knob."

Maia closed it and turned the knob so it locked. "Let's go see if Dari's home," She suggested, offering him her hand.
