[ Aha, got him. The slow drag of Steve's mouth is a hot, wet line as he scrapes his teeth under the curve of a pec, soothing the skin there with soft kisses a moment later. His tongue glides over the only remaining nipple Eddie has, circling it delicately as if warding off harm (alas, left nip he knew ye not), his breath pouring over him. ]
[ There are plenty of places in between Eddie's scars to leave kisses and lovebites, nuzzling them all out at his leisure. He has to toss the blankets back over his shoulders so he can breathe but that just gives Eddie a better view, the tickling brush of silky hair fanning out over Eddie's middle as Steve mouths hot kisses across an unblemished patch of skin at the curve of a waist. ]
Can I —
[Chrissy pauses, glancing down at her lap for a second. Eddie doesn't need her to ask permission to ask him for something. Her hands press against her knees, fingers flexing.]
I'd really like it if you could help me design something, actually.

[His agreeing to help puts a big smile on her face, and she takes a few seconds to finally finish her piece of pizza.]
I was thinking something with flowers.

Everyone thinks flowers are pretty and delicate.
[Which they are, but the symbolism is a little too on the nose for her liking. She doesn't want to be pretty and delicate her entire life, even if those are two things that aren't awful to be. They're okay for her to identify with, but she wants there to be something more. Chrissy just has a hard time expressing that, being open with her wants and things she craves. She almost pulls back inside herself and shrugs instead of answering. But this is Eddie. He doesn't judge her. So she tries to vocalize what she's thinking.]
But they also can grow even in the harshest conditions, you know? And I thought that maybe a lot of flowers on my arms and legs would make the scars from my surgeries look a little nicer. Maybe people would realize I used to be pretty instead of just seeing a lot of scars.

On my way.
[ Is the heads up sent, approximately 35 minutes after his last contact and about 20 seconds before a portal opens up on the porch to deposit one Stephen Strange directly outside the front door. He's dressed in his civvies (he'd considered wizard garb for the gravitas but figured it might overshadow the conversation) and will knock on the door to announce himself if there's nobody nearby to greet him. ]
