This was going to be awkward, there was no doubt about it. There were not enough turtles in all the oceans to demonstrate the level of awkward this was going to be. Sam tried to keep telling himself that it was going to be better in the end, that they'd really communicate and get some things out and be closer for it. Somehow that didn't make it less awkward though.

He'd picked a time to come visit when he knew that Cissie would be out for a while. This was definitely not something they wanted someone else around for. It also didn't help that Cassie was still not in the best of moods after not getting any superpowers over the weekend. But Sam wasn't going to put this off any longer. It was time.

"Cassie!" he called out as he approached the hut. "Beautiful, you here?"

Cassie frowned lightly even as she squeezed his hand and snuggled up to him. "If you're sure..." She leaned up and kissed him sweetly and almost lovingly. "Thank you." For this, for just being there, for just being him...It was a thank you for so much.

"Hey, anything for you," Sam said, pulling her a bit closer and kissing her softly back. He meant it, to. Sam would do anything for her. He was absolutely crazy about Cassie in a way that was probably dangerous, but he couldn't help it.

"Stay?" The question was out of her mouth before she really thought about it, but she wasn't about to take it back. Cassie didn't want him to leave, not after this. Not ever but that wasn't something she wanted to think about right now.

"Of course," he said, beaming a smile at her. Normally they crashed at his place for the night, but he was more than happy to stay wherever she wanted him.

"Though we should probably either get completely under the covers or put some clothes on. This is probably not what Cissie wants to see as soon as she walks in."

"I doubt she'll be back tonight." Cassie said without thinking, but realized quickly she should clarify. "She still lives here and all, but she's been spending about as many nights with Bart as I do with you."

Still, covers wouldn't hurt so she reluctantly let go of Sam long enough to pull them up from under them. But once she had them settled over them, she was quick to snuggle back against Sam's side.

"Maybe we can have a repeat in the morning then," Sam said, scooting up against her and pulling her close. He couldn't resist running his hand along her hip, feeling how firm the muscle was in contrast to the smoothness of her skin.

"You know it's crazy, right? Us? I mean... you're perfect. Just... every way. I could chalk the body up to you being a literal half-goddess and the hardest working person I know. But the rest... you're just amazing."

"If you want maybe..." Cassie said as she ran a hand down his chest, a chest she was still quite impressed with, though his abs were still her favorite part.

But as Sam spoke, she looked up at him and put a finger on his lips to stop him. "Stop. I'm not perfect. Believe me. And it's not nearly as crazy as me finding someone as smart and incredible as you who would put up with a girl who'd rather beat up a bad guy then go shoe shopping. Plus is quite the cutie to boot." She reached up and planted a kiss on his nose. Let's just call us both lucky, huh?"

"Alright, both really lucky then," he said, grinning at her. He liked how she could be both completely badass and entirely adorable. He liked that her identity wasn't wrapped up in being some sort of tough girl.

"But I make no promises if my hands start wandering while we sleep now that I'm allowed to touch the normally forbidden parts."

Sam didn't know how much it used to be. Trying to prove herself to Wonder Woman, to Super Boy, to everyone. But after having friends who she could relax around on Young Justice and on the island, Cassie had been able to settle the two sides of herself, Cassie and Wonder Girl, into a more workable union.

But that was part of the reason she liked Sam so much. He didn't see her as one or the other. He saw her as both and was okay with that. That he was secure and patient enough to accept her for who she was.

"If your hands wander into places that might not be wise, trust me, you'll know." She was teasing, really.
