A/N: Here's another little drabble-y ficlet. It's a Remy x Dexter for This Lullaby. I like this little scene. I think it's fluffy and cute. I don't know. I like how it turned out. The inspiration was those shirts they sell in Hawaii that say "I GOT LEI'D IN HAWAII", I didn't buy one but a one of the guys that went with us did. He thought it was funny. I think Dexter would too. Enjoy! R&R! Thanks! –Mac

Lei'd
Despite Ted's aversion to their label and their choices during their first tour, their sophomore album blew up and their second tour brought bigger venues (and better openers). Although Ted hadn't been as keen on the idea, all the guys had jumped at the chance to play a concert in Hawaii as their last on the tour, that meant they could spend a week of their downtime on the sunny beaches. Plus Dexter was ecstatic that he could bring Remy with him, as her summer break had begun.
It was the morning before the concert and Ted had called an emergency rehearsal much to the dismay of his band mates. Remy waited patiently in her and Dexter's hotel room, catching up on reading the draft of her mother's newest novel. She wasn't going to go down to the pool or the beach until Dexter could go and enjoy it with her—which, seeing as Ted was an obsessive maniac (still), didn't look like it was going to happen anytime soon.
Remy was sitting up against the headboard of their bed, her legs crossed and the manuscript open on her lap, when the door flew open and Dexter strolled in. She watched as he closed the door behind him and headed toward her. He jumped up onto the bed next to her. She closed the manuscript and set it aside so she could turn her full attention to him, knowing their time was limited. Ted was sure to be calling again at any moment.
"I just got 'lei'd,'" Dexter announced, laughing lightly.
Remy eyed the flowered lei around his neck, "Oh really?"
"Yeah, by the girl at the hotel reception desk," Dexter smirked, knowing he was egging Remy on, "She was all too excited to."
Remy slipped a leg over Dexter's and shifted so she was straddling him. She leaned in close against him and spoke low, "Shouldn't you leave that to your girlfriend?"
"By all means…" Dexter barely got the words out before Remy kissed him.
And then Remy showed Dexter why if he wanted to be 'lei'd' by anyone, it was going to be her.
