Wisps of brown hair were spread against Toby's pillow. Spencer lay curled into his side, covered only with a thin, black sheet from the bedspread she had bought for his bedroom after he moved into the loft.
Curling his arm tighter around his girlfriend, Toby breathed in her scent as he stroked her hair.
Spencer shifted closer to his and looked up to his face with a smile.
"What are you thinking about?" She asked.
Toby shrugged. "Just you. About how much I missed you, mostly."
Her smile widening, Spencer leaned up and kissed him chastely.
"I missed you, too. You know, now that you're back, Hanna keeps pestering me for a double date. Apparently she thinks the stupid, over protective drive that you and Caleb share will spark a friendship."
Laughing, Toby shook his head.
"Only you girls, who have done everything and anything under the sun to protect everyone else from A, would think we're overprotective for actually worrying about you."
Spencer just smiled. He was right and they both knew it, but that didn't mean she'd ever admit it.
Reaching for the brunette's hand, Toby curled his fingers through hers and felt her remnants of a shiver run down her spine. Best to tread lightly when it came to touching. Neither of them had the energy for any more of that tonight.
Tonight had been nice. They'd just relaxed in his loft, taking their mind's off of A's latest scheme. They ordered in and watched a movie before moving onto... Extracurricular activities. It was great to spend the night together, just being together. It felt like they never got to do that anymore.
Spencer was always chasing down another lead, asking more questions. Though, there were strength in numbers and that was something the girls finally had on their side. Eventually, they would figure it out.
Another shift in the bed reminded Toby of where he was and who he was with and he was able to stop himself from allowing his thoughts to travel down that road.
Not tonight. Tonight was his and Spencer's.
"I know what you're thinking about," Spencer murmured.
Pulling the sheet closer to herself, she leaned up and placed a soft kiss on his mouth and smiled wryly.
"Stop. Don't think about all the bad stuff, right now. I'm here, we're together, and there's nothing A can do about that anymore. So, stop worrying for a little bit and focus on something else."
"Like what?" The carpenter whispered back.
Spencer smirked slightly.
"Like... Me. In your bed. With nothing under this sheet. Or about how amazing I think you are. In so many, many ways."
Toby chuckled and allowed his girlfriend to push him back and climb onto him, straddling his hips.
Spencer's features softened as she gave Toby one last thing to think about.
"And how much I love you."
Leaning down to give him yet another soft kiss, the brunette smiled and felt her boyfriend pull her torso down to align with his as he wrapped her tightly in his arms.
"I love you so much more."
Spencer giggled and shook her head. "Impossible."
Why the hell aren't we touching her?!
Toby almost let out a sigh. Inner Selfishness would make an appearance specifically to ruin the tender moment he was sharing with his girlfriend.
Seemed like Is (as he had unaffectionately dubbed that little part of his brain that wanted what he wanted and wanted it now) needed to be reminded that he was, in fact, touching Spencer.
That's not what I meant...
Is needed to shut the hell up.
Have some fun for once and I will.
Spencer shrieked as she suddenly found herself on her back with Toby's lips on her.
If making love to Spencer Hastings was what it would take to shut Is up, then Toby had no choice but to make that sacrifice.
