Work Text:
Tim rolls over on his side so he’s facing Lucy. She still sleeping, her breath steady. She’s turned at an angle where her neck is exposed. The comforter is pulled up to her chest, so he can only see her neck.
He grins a little bit scooting closer, and running his finger down her neck tattoo. He had known it was there before they started dating but he never really got to see it until she really let him see all of her.
And he was so grateful for it, he loved when it was peeking out of her collar and he loved when it was fully exposed all for him to kiss and mutter words of love into her soft skin. He loved when he was able to see it from behind as he put her necklace on.
He traces his fingers around the design, wondering why she got it there.
Her eyes flutter open and suddenly her brown eyes are staring at him sleepily, half lidded but beautiful all the same.
“Morning.” She mumbles sleepily. Her voice raspy, and quiet. He’s not sure he will ever get used to waking up to Lucy like this. Sleepy. Beautiful. His.
“Morning.” He mumbles back and now he has his lips pressed to her tattoo. She sucks in a breath and then lets it out when he gently bites down on it.
“Why are you so obsessed with my neck tattoo?” She mumbles. He looks up at her, and kisses her on the lips before his focus goes back to her neck.
“I don’t know.” He says. “It’s just in a good spot.” He’s really not sure why his focus always goes to this one. She also has one on her chest, and that damn DOD one that makes him shiver every time he sees it.
“Hmm.” Hums Lucy. She runs her fingers through his hair. He kisses the skin there and then bites down making her yelp.
“Don’t you dare give me a hickey again.” She says. “I really don’t need Aaron teasing me all day.”
“No promises.” He mutters into her neck. “We have the day off so..” Lucy tugs on his hair and he looks up at her again.
“Jerk!” She says and hits him a little. But her lips are twitching into a smile, and she pulls him into a kiss.
“You love me.”
“God knows why.” She says but there’s a teasing lilt to her voice. He rolls his eyes at her and then his mouth is back on the tattoo. He kiss it and then traces it with his tongue and god he loves her.
Every single part of her.
“Tim.” She says. He mumbles something into her neck and she laughs and pulls him up again. He stares at her, and reaches out to cup her face.
“Why did you decide to get the tattoo there?” He asks. She raises her eyebrows, and then traces her finger across his lips.
“Rebellion. To make me feel powerful. I don’t know.” She says. “I just thought it was a good spot.”
Tim snorts and kisses the tattoo again, the tattoo he’s most obsessed with on the woman he can’t live without.
“I like that.” He says. There’s a long comfortable silence with his lips pressed to the tattoo. He finally removes them. He rolls them over so he was hovering over her, he kisses her lips first and then they are back on the tattoo.
“I love you.” He says into her skin. Her soft, silky skin, that he usually worships all night long. But this morning, his focus is on her neck, he knows he will eventually have to move on but not right this second.
“Mmm. Love you too babe.” She breathes her voice still raspy. “And I love that you love my tattoo so much.”
Tim lifts his head briefly. “I do love it.” He admits. He’s obsessed with her neck tattoo and he would happily tell her that. “But I’m kind of obsessed with all of you.”
She blushes a little but then he buries his nose back into her neck, he kisses it once more and then drags his hands down her body. He removes the comforter and drags it down. He kisses the chest tattoo that he has spent hours exploring too.
“Tim?”
“Hmm.” He looks up to see her chewing on her lip, and she runs her fingers through his hair.
“You make happy.”
He swallows and kisses her lips again. “You make me happy too.” He moves his lips slowly down her body, making her squirm a little.
He would go back to her neck tattoo, because just like her tattoo. She was permanently stuck on his heart, she was his forever. And even if she had a clue about that, he planned to make it known to her.
Soon.
Tonight in fact.
And he couldn’t wait.
