Serenity Cove, New Year's Eve

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia had a respectable fire going, and was warm and toasty in her alpaca wool poncho.

She also had some handwavily purchased bottle rockets and roman candles. Because fire of varying types was fun, and never, ever a bad idea. . . .

Yeah.

Now she needed her date.

[ooc: for Walter, but we can't stop you from showing up. . . .]

Walter was actually rather surprised that Nadia had suggested the outdoors in January, but not about to say no. He had a satchel with thermoses of (surprise)tea, soup, coffee, and the hot buttered rum he'd promised Nadia for the trip they'd been unable to take.

He walked quietly through the sand, grimacing slightly at the damage it must be doing to his shoes' polish and set the satchel down next to Nadia.

"Happy New Year."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia turned, bouncing slightly, quickly covering her startled reaction. "Happy New Year! We have a roaring fire."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Brilliant!" Because really, there were only a few things more fun than fire. "I have refreshments and my excellent company."

[nadiathesaint]

"Perfectly worthy contributions." Nadia bounced over to him. "And we can shoot off fireworks, too."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Yay bouncing girlfriend. Walter bounced a little in response to her appraoch and grabbed for her for a swinging feet off the ground hug. "Fire and fireworks? You do know how to turn a guy's head."

[nadiathesaint]

"I try." Nadia giggled a little at the swinging hug. "So, what should we do, first?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter grinned and set her down. "What was that phrase...? Besame?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Almost. Béseme." Nadia leaned over to obey the phrase. "And it's probably private enough and in my journal, not the comm for us to do a little more, if you want."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Béseme," Walter repeated obediently before providing his half of the kiss.

"If I say 'fireworks first,' I'm not sure whether I'm suggesting the type we make in private or the ones involving gunpowder."

[nadiathesaint]

"If only there was a way to do both at once," Nadia seemed to make a choice right quick, though, leaning forward again to catch Walter's lips with her own.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

That called for little response beyond drawing her more tightly against him, one hand coming up to cup her face when he deepened the kiss.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia 'hmmmed' softly against his lips, running her hand over his chest and shoulder to the back of his neck, gently playing with his hair, even as she sucked on his lower lip.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter thought he could probably stay right where he was most of the rest of the night with the surf in his ears, Nadia warm in his arms, and a year that both was and wasn't his own stretching before them.

His thumb brushed over her cheekbone while he rubbed his other hand up her back.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia arched her back slightly into his touch, figuring this, along with that roaring fire, could probably keep her warm all night. She pulled away slightly, only to tilt her head and start kissing her way over his cheekbone instead.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Mmm...." Walter smiled softly before pursing his lips to softly kiss her jaw, presented as it was by her movements. There was something to be said for how soft a girl's skin was. He slipped his hand on her back under her poncho to more easily knead the muscle under her shirt.

[nadiathesaint]

Ohhhh, yes, that was nice. She tilted her head to give him better access and started running her fingers up and down along the back of his neck, dipping under his collar.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter dropped his shoulders to give Nadia a little better access and wished he'd left the tie in his room. But it was a festive occasion, which called for symbolic nooses neckwear.

Regardless, he had a warm girl kissing him, a hand on her back, and with her tilted head, the opportunity to nibble along her jaw.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia hummed softly, then ran her fingers along his collar to the knot of his tie, bringing her other hand up to help, before dropping her head again to catch his lips.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Ah... lips, and soft skin and a warm body and, as his hand drifted lower, a nicely rounded backside to cup and pull her tight against him. A low noise escaped him as that drew certain anatomical differences in sharp, and rather intimate, relief.

"Happy New Year!" the Doctor proclaimed, wandering out onto the beach.

Pause.

"...oh, I'm interrupting, aren't I?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia groaned deep in her throat and slowly turned her head to face the Doctor.

"Um, yes. You kind of are."

She'd make shooing motions, but her hands were currently a bit tangled up in tie and dress shirt.

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

The Doctor made an embarrassed face.

"I'll just... nip off, then. Sorry to be the interruptus in your coitus and all that. Keep up the... good work."

He turned and hurried off.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter inched his hand just a little higher, despite its being covered by the poncho and shot the Doctor a Look. "Yes. Private party. Thank you," he said to the man's retreating back.

He may have muttered something about only chartered accountants being as dense as the Doctor about such things, but if he did, it was for Nadia's ears only.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia giggled softly, before turning back and working on Walter's shirt, again. "Well, it's almost private,"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Uh uh. No sharing tonight," Walter said firmly, hand dropping back to its original position while he bent to kiss her throat. "Especially not with the Doctor."

[nadiathesaint]

"Ugh, no way! Bad thought!" Nadia giggled again, getting the tie loose and the shirt open, giving her plenty of room to roam her hands about. "Let's forget about him."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter sucked in a breath when the cold air hit his skin, gooseflesh rising immediately.

Nadia had the right idea with her poncho. He could get freer access without exposing her decidedly more sensitive skin to the cold. He put thought to action, pulling her shirt up to slip a hand underneath.

"Forget about whom?" he murmured against her neck.

[nadiathesaint]

"Exactly," she murmured back, slipping her hands between them to continue rubbing across his chest.

Had to make sure he stayed warm, after all. . . .

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Warm? Walter was quite nicely warm. Nadia's skin under the poncho was quite nicely warm. And if she kept doing what she was doing, things were goiing to get much warmer.

[nadiathesaint]

Oh, like that was a reason to stop? Nadia leaned back, pulling at Walter to pull him down with her, onto the sand, her poncho making a rather good beach blanket.

"WHY GOD?! WHY?!" came the angered, drunken shout.

Dr. Venture was shirtless. And waving a bottle around.

"Why do you insist on... awwww crap, what are you kids looking at?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter looked up and grimaced. He'd seen worse, but not on someone putatively alive.

"We wouldn't be looking at you if you'd go away," he said while he made sure that nothing inappropriate was showing on Nadia.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia was, in fact, in the process of pulling her hood over her face.

"Gooooooo awaaaaaaay!"

[rustyboywonder.livejournal.com]

Dr. Venture leered in the worst possible way.

"Oh, please, don't even pay any attention to the fact I'm here," he said, taking a drink from his bottle.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter stood up to glower at the man. "You want to rethink that. Now."

[rustyboywonder.livejournal.com]

"Brock? I think I need you to ki--" He looked around "Brock? Oh god, he isn't here, that's right. I... Hey look, your girlfriend turned into a squid!" He pointed and turned to run/stumble drunkenly away.

[nadiathesaint]

"I did not," Nadia mumbled into her hood.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter scowled at Dr. Venture's retreating back before turning back to Nadia. "Maybe we should set off those fireworks and then go someplace with fewer annoying old men."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia sat up. "That might be the best idea ever. It was worth a shot, though. . . ."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter knelt by his satchel and pulled out the thermos with the hot buttered rum. "Here. Something to erase the image of that last one."

Because booze and explosives are a perfect match.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia took a sip and grinned. "Ooo, that's good. Now . . . roman candles!"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter pulled out his lighter and held it out to her as an exchange for the thermos. "Do I want to know where you got them?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Probably not," Nadia accepted the lighter and set up some of the candles near the water. She lit the fuses, then hurried back over to Walter. ". . . 2. . . ."

Blast off.

"Happy new year, Walter."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Happy new year, Nadia." He put an arm around her waist while the Roman candles went off and drew her in for a proper New Year's kiss.
